She's discovered the concept, along with jokes, she doesn't quite "get" them yet. She gets the basic idea, but not the subtleties that make them work. The results are cute, but horrifically bad.
New Zealand is an amazing place. It's like someone created the most idealic version of England. It feels very English, except the people are friendlier, the food is better, and the landscape is far more amazing and spacious.
Physics seems to be very protective of causality. We don't know the underlying mechanism, but it pops up in multiple areas of physics.
The speed of light being the most blatant example.
We can see events happening, apparently put of sequence. What we can't do is interfere with them.
Spacetime (you can't talk about time only) or at least its substrate does get in knots, best we can tell. We call them fundimental particles. String theory/membrane theory are still very much theoretical physics right now, however, so it could be completely wrong.
The other alternative is a closed timelike curve. According to relativity, there are valid solutions that create such a curve. Theoretically, you could fly into one, traverse it, and exit before you entered at the start. This does require several black holes, moving at stupid speeds, orbiting each other, however. It's also theoretical. While the equations allow it, we know they are incomplete. Physics seems to have blocks on anything that can mess with causality. It's likely something, currently unknown, kicks in to stop the closed timelike curve from forming.
It's worth noting you should extend this mindset to those around you. An out of control car can slide a LONG way. Make sure you have the space and capability to get out of danger zones, or wait for them to be completely clear.
You might have proper winter tires, and be in control. This doesn't stop an idiot on summer ties gliding into you like an elephant on iceskates.
Also extend this to others. Give the cars ahead of /around you PLENTY of room to escape.
I know a few teachers, the "cringy and bad" is the goal, not a mistake. It's apparently quite therapeutic watching the "cool kids" squirm. How bad can you make them, but not make it obvious what you're doing?
The fact that it also helps a lot of kids remember it is almost just a bonus.
The ork waaaaaagh requires enough orks to function. It's sort of an average belief. Even the warpheads (their psykers) just channel the collective waaaaaagh energy.
The matrix power plant hack was the exception. In the movie, it's just a screen of code flying past. If you slow it down, it's a legit hack.
Trinity checks the software version, to see it hadn't been updated. She then implements a real hack that that version was vulnerable to. It resets the admin password to a default, letting her log in as admin.
Simple, stark is a semi latent technomancer. His arc reactors might actually work, but the mini ones don't. They are effectively conductors for magic. They turn magic into electricity with zero heat output. This also explains the suits momentum damping capabilities, and why they can't be copied easily.
It was tried, quite extensively, early on in the reprap movement. No-one managed to get it working reliably. The issue is that the pellets don't feed consistently enough. This means the flow is inconsistent. This massively messes with the quality of the print.
There are theoretical ways to compensate. Unfortunately, most result in a huge jump in complexity and weight on the head. Neither is a good thing.
Basically. The benefits aren't generally with the costs, outside of a few, very niche areas. It's also now easier to source filament most places, compared to pellets. So even that isn't a game changer.
I've dodged similar collisions a couple of times, over the years. Unfortunately, this time, she didn't even touch the brakes. I was hit with a 50 mph differential, and no warning whatsoever.
First 3 should get a good reaction. The rest require context I'm more sure she's picked up on properly yet.
