Well, you can take them in and out easily enough without turning it off. But you're not going to get a game to play unless you reset the power. I think that knowledge has been lost since everything this century has been a disc drive. The power remains on, you just eject it and swap discs.

I would try it, but I hear the taste varies from person to person. /thank you for that joke, Futurama.

The future has been a disappointment because when I was a kid, they promised us hoverboards by 2015. It is now 2018, and I do not have a board that hovers. Not even self-tying laces or dehydrated pizza.

Nah, just in a city on the edge of forever.

So the 50s predicted the 80s?

Before I bought the big piece of glass iphone (which, BTW, had to be a TNG inspired thing... it's basically a PADD!), I was always disappointed I could never find a flip phone that was easily and casually flipped open like Kirk's communicator.

That's exactly what it is. I know comic books, I know music (to a degree), historical inaccuracies in those areas would stand out to me. But I don't know a damn thing about when Heinz switched to plastic bottles (for example), so I don't notice. Maybe I could tell you if a show in the 70s was...

Honestly, both solid points of reference we got turned out to be wrong. Potter's introduction was given as September '52, but there's no way the next 7 years happened in 10 months. Likewise, there's no way the entirety of the Blake, Burns, and Radar years happened in two months. So, repeat to...

Worse than that: the digital music channels on Xfinity. They show the album information for the original version of a song, play the rerecording instead. They say it's the ABC version of Freddy Fender's "Before The Next Teardrop Falls" from '74, but it's the 90s rerecording playing.

The young comic book geek in me recognized Radar clearly reading Avengers #60, a book from 1968, in the middle of the Korean War. I mean, technically, there wouldn't have been any Marvel comics in his collection, since Marvel didn't even exist yet. It would've still been Timely or Atlas. But...

Sounds like you could use a nice, smooth Morley cigarette to calm you down! That's the flipside of the generic TV brands... sometimes, they become well known across multiple shows and you'd rather see them used than a real brand so you can say "Well, the X-Files, Buffy, Breaking Bad, Friends...

Using rerecordings of the songs pisses me off more. It happens a lot with country artists who went to Curb later in their careers. For example, Some show I can't remember right now used the 80s version of Roger Miller's Chug A Lug instead of the period appropriate Mercury version. And wasn't...
