"Have you been flossing regularly?"

And that's how we got microwave ovens. (For real, see the Tom Scott video)

Because I'm not a whiney child having a tantrum, with no awareness of the practicalities of the world, trying to justify misdirected rage.

I'm not going to blame company A for something that was done by company B.

You do you, though.

Again, this was not Arrowheads choice. It's forced on them by Sony.

Boycotting the game would hurt Arrowhead far more than Sony, and they were forced to do this. Like beating a dog because the owner upset you.

Could this be because space isn't a true vacuum? There's pockets of gas and crap, which could affect the speed of the light as it travels to us?

Practicalities of life, innit? Isn't enough money to invest in the long-term best options for everything so you pick your battles. Id rather see investments in big infra and updating the energy grid, not replacing the odd leaf blower.

I would honestly love to see a series based on moonfall, like Stargate, where we fully explore who made the "moon" and what the implications of its true nature are.

Cost.

Switching to electric means buying multiple batteries and replacing all of your kit and outfitting the vehicles with the capability to charge those batteries during the day (because charging takes time and isn't as quick as just filling up a tank of gas).

Sticking with the existing gas ones costs nothing.

Yes there are potentially long-term cost savings and yes it would reduce noise pollution but if anyone thinks these kinds of purchasing decisions are made on the basis of what would be sensible in the long term, they need to get out and live in the real world a little. Sad but true.
