As someone who still owns their childhood copy of FFIII (now known as FF6), I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one.

They're less strategy games and more interactive movies these days. History has taught us that people will go and watch a nearly unlimited number of sequels.

Explain how you get helium out of natural gas? During the drilling phase? You can't "make" atomic elements...

It's a stand alone Microsoft product that - shocker - has deep integration many of their flagship products. in addition to having SQL capabilities, it can even write files to native Microsoft file systems! Talk about getting sucked in to the walled garden!

It's a tabbed version of WordPad that allows you to paste in images, spreadsheet snippets, text etc, but has Deep Hooks in to Sharepoint to create things like programmable checklists for manual tasks that email out the results. It's been around since at least 2007. In the right hands it's very powerful but most people ignore it.

Coal gets a bad rap because almost all of our coal energy comes from 1970s era plants that have been getting exemptions from required upgrades for close to 50 years now. The plants that have been built since then (about 5% of all current plants) are awesome technological marvels, but they're in the vast minority.

The Jetsons also didn't have stairs, curbs, pedal controls and all the other obstacles that legs are really good at overcoming.

SCOTUS is bog-standard, IANAL but AFAIK you should be able to figure out SCOTSO Nevada. If he had said SCOTSN you might have had a point. IMHO.

The patent for the Teletype machine was issued in 1907, any variation thereof, up to and including paper punch cards would probably invalidate the patent.

Your immune system is virtually bullet proof under those circumstances

Cheap steel bikes can weigh north of 40 lbs, yep. Heavy Aluminum bikes can weigh north of 32 lbs. My roommate has a folding aluminum bike, it's 36 lbs before you add on the rack, fenders etc.
 
I have a late 70's lugged steel frame bike, it weighs about 24 lbs, probably closer to 26 now with the rear rack and fenders.
 
By comparison my aluminum road bike weighs about 21 lbs, only a 5 lb difference between the two, but 19 lbs lighter than a cheap Walmart bike! A modern $1200 aluminum bike can weigh less than 18 lbs
 
TL;DR not all steel bikes are made the same.

You don't use your arms to support your weight on a road bike, you use your "core" torso muscles. Try riding in an upright position until your core strengthens enough to ride in an aggressive road bike position.

Yes, Titanium is not a ferrous material.

Your ratios are a little skewed, but this already happened with the mechanisation of agriculture. Art as a profession didn't exist 4000 years ago, then we had plows attached to oxen, and nowadays we have so many artists people find them annoying

Cuba recently (last 18 months) had an undersea line laid from Cuba to Venezuela. Previously they could only connect via Satellite link.
