We certainly still have the first three and Captain Brainworm is working hard to bring back all sorts of terrible diseases.

That HyperCam 2 had better be unregistered.

My favorite rock also has a name: Mount Saint Helens

Sounds great for non-food packages, such as small electronics, toys, etc. Anything that currently comes in a blister pack.

That's a funny way to spell El Salvador.

Diabolical, isn't it?

Mom and Dad Save the World is at 5.4/10 - probably not actually the worst I love, but I correctly guessed it would be lower than it deserves (as absurd comedies tend to be) and it's the first one that came to mind.

Unfortunately, If they did have onboard drivers it would only ever be for an old version of Windows. (Same as the disks and then later discs that used to come with hardware)

And in the case of phone hardware and features such as VoLTE it's intentional so you're locked into their OS.

You could call it WebAssembly

It's not - this dude doesn't zap himself even once.

It's a good video though, showing how he integrated everything.

Commodore... 128! (But it was always in GO64 mode for the games)

I used to think that movie was implausible.

I think most of the other comments are overthinking it.

Sure the bigots will come up with 'reasons' but I genuinely think it's mostly guys' fear of accidentally having feelings for someone who has or even had a penis: They don't want to be 'fooled into being gay' like it's contagious.
Even one of the slurs they use is "trap" - as though the intent of being trans was to catch innocent cis straight men off guard and corrupt them.
(Of course in reality being anything but upfront would likely just get the trans woman murdered, but so could being upfront. And the bigots think people choose it.)

The issue (as the link illustrates, but I didn't go into detail) comes with long distance communication. Time zones serve as a rough approximation for 'where is the sun' at a specific place that you want to communicate/trade with and that is a rough approximation for 'when are people/places likely to be awake/open. Without that you Would need to find published hours for people/places and that can be tough.

Replacing time zones isn't impossible of course, but it's definitely not as simple as 'just use UTC+0'. That shifts the inconvenience elsewhere

That's just a matter of focal length or cropping

Here are some reasons told through what-if.

TL;DR: People like to sleep in the dark generally, and businesses that close are open when more people are awake.

They could have done better though, for example 'won't lift' could be something like "keeps"

It's worse than that, it's physics, Jim!

Assuming no FTL and centered at Earth (or the sun) that puts the max distance roughly a little past the low estimate for where the Oort cloud begins.

(Wolfram Alpha says 14 light days is 2424 AU and the cloud has inner edge estimates from 2000 to 5000 AU
