Some places are very remote and have bad internet. Some people like the special features on DVD. There are movies only available on DVD that aren't streaming or on Blu-Rays. Some DVDs contain the original edits or music recordings that have since been changed.

Lot's of reasons some people still use DVDs.

Makes sense. My dad's an engineer, so I got a solid education in most tools.

Oh my sweet summer child.

I get your point that the US is big, but it shouldn't take days to get to a major city from anywhere in NC. It's what, a 9 hour drive to Washington from the furthest end of NC?

500 GB SSD as main boot and application drive

500 GB SSD as one game drive

2 TB SSD as second game drive (added after 500 GB one filled up)

1 TB HDD as bulk storage (had it for many years now)

1 TB HDD for photographs (also had for many years)

2 TB RAID array for video editing

8 TB external HDD for backup

So 7 TB internal, and 8 TB backup

In Canada fire authorities can still post, they just can't link to news articles.

Some people are complaining, certainly not everyone.

And no, it's not a valuable service. Just go to CTV or CBC news websites and get all the wildfire news you need. People do not need to get their news from Facebook.

They weren't using gravity, they were electromagnetic rails that shot the bombs out of the bay into the enemy ships. I mean it's still dumb since you could fire them from further away, just not dumb for the gravity reason.

They did, I still have a Lumia 950 as a backup phone, and it runs smooth as butter.

You can get it in Canada. You need to give a good reason to get it, but I'm sure time travel would qualify. If not, just say you're a laboratory worker researching Smallpox, and they'll give you the vaccine.

Yep, it was worth more than gold before modern methods made it easy to isolate.

Bring a live translation device, and program it with whatever the expected language is. That alone would be magic to them. And you don;t need to go to a copper mine, there were markets for processed copper. Pulling it into wire is just a case of roughly forming it into a cylinder, then pulling that cylinder through successively smaller holes. A local smith could help you with that.

You don't need to be super accurate for a basic pump. If you know the design you can get medieval blacksmiths to make the parts for you with close enough accuracy.

Definitely take your smallpox vaccine before time traveling. They still make them, so it shouldn't be too much hassle.

No, they will actively hold mutually contradicting beliefs and spout them back and forth, and refuse to back down on them when it's pointed out they contradict each other.

That is not the same as changing your mind after a few years and new information coming along.

These are aftermarket installs.

Many do.

Bing has been better for a while now.

And Indians tend to refer to themselves as Bengali, Tamil, Telegu, etc...

So why is Americans giving a more culturally specific title at times confusing to you?

Because America is incredibly diverse, so saying your American is virtually meaningless in terms of your culture and values.
