Tap to pay only works when electricity itself remains online, but during a blackout forget it. Cash exists for a reason, it’s been around for a long time before smartphones were invented.

drive two hours

That also adds more expenses: like gasoline, if the route they use has a gas station (fuel costs money) alongside tolls for highways (interstate) plus traffic at peak hour (not even going to discuss parking).

When I visited as a tourist, why do ATMs only disperse $50 bills upon withdrawing large sums (i.e. $500) when Australia clearly has a $100 bill? Why does it exist when barely anyone uses it for regular transactions?

MSM pitch the “think of the children” agenda (whilst omitting mass surveillance) as they’re either lobbied by politicians or paid by the state on pushing the narrative of “banning SM for kids -16 alleviates them being cyberbullied, exposure to violent or sexual content” with sharing sob stories trying to pinch people’s heart.

I have a friend living in Australia when those laws took effect, basically nothing happened. Although there were certain websites asking for ID (however circumvented by using a paid VPN).

There’s another anachronism from that movie around 34 minutes in (during the scene where the nurses are on a transport ship heading for the hospital) as the movie is meant to be portraying 1941: you can literally see the USS Arizona memorial in the background as pictured and circled below:

It’s a nitpicky detail that made it on the final cut, since that wasn’t built until 1962 (way after the war!).

That reminds me of a war movie I’ve watched, when Josh Hartnett’s character said “I think WWII has just started” during the attack on Pearl Harbor. (That line is historically inaccurate).

In reality, people would just consider it the “war” (referring to the European theater) or “Jap invasion of America” marking the US entry into the conflict (the term WWII was not coined yet until after).
