A scientifically accurate version of Back to the Future where as soon as he goes back in time he finds himself floating in space because Earth has more moved far away.

Then he dies without air and the movie ends.
"Ah but the Flux capacitor calculates and repositions the car"

It would arrive at a different velocity.

Earth moves at 67000mph. It also rotates at 1000mph. The car would either be instantly crushed, launched into space or burst in flames.
So yeah, go ahead and build your fancy time travel machine, so smart...
Ok so the Flux capacitor would also change the velocity instantly to align everything.

Passenger would be crushed by inertia.

Keep trying to fix it and it keeps getting uglier.
In conclusion what doc built was a virtual reality device and he in fact spends the whole three movies inside the same car that is now connected directly to his brain.
He then starves to death because he thinks he's eating but the car is eating him. Matrix.
People brought to my attention that the dog travels in time first. It's a trip 1 minute into the future, so earth would have moved ~10 thousand miles by then. Earth radius is ~4 thousand miles so the dog would still die in space, but at least he would get to have a nice view
Moon is ~200000 miles away so no, dog would not land on the moon. Just empty space.
Also de instant decompression would cause the car to go boom but now we're splitting hair here.

I understand you must have many questions about the whole dynamics of GameStop, naked options, dogecoin, SEC policies, market volatility and potential correlations with your 401K, so here's a quick explanation:

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You must be asking yourself whether you should be buying dogecoin, selling gamestonk, doing the opposite or drinking alcoholic beverage at 7:30am and the answer is yes.

Do you all realize the irony of something being called a hedge fund and then being obliterated exactly because what they didn't do was... well... hedging their positions?
Finance sector will always find creative ways of blowing themselves up with TNT unless they are strictly supervised.

It is interesting that nobody is talking about it.

In most enterprise companies we would be burning all devices by now and trying to track who had access to what.
What I would love to understand:

From the decision to open the gates, to let them in, to not send reinforcement, to not arrest and background check every person who got there, who made those decisions and what was the rationale regarding the national security?
And yes, there was plenty of time to be ready, this event was known for days. Remember that with BLM people weren't allowed to be a mile near there.

1-Go to account.live.com, security and view my activity

2-Freak out when you see how many times people try to login into your account from all over the world

3-Take the opportunity to ensure your 2FA is up to date, don't use phone/SMS (use an app), change your pwd, etc.
When I say don't use phone/SMS I'm saying explicitly remove that as an option there.

Also send a complaint to your bank if they don't offer a stronger 2FA than just text messages. They should.
Also: DO NOT reuse passwords. And no, your fancy "system" for generating and remembering unique passwords is just as bad. Your passwords likely already leaked from many websites and it takes someone little effort to guess the patterns of your fancy system. Random passwords FTW

Boy where do I start...

Once I accidentally stepped on the foot of the New Zealand Prime Minister while boarding the same flight.
One I crashed into the car of a famous Brazilian musician, spent hours chatting with him and had no idea who he was until the police officer recognized him.
Man I can go on for hours on this

Yes, Amazon, I totally want a proprietary network to circumvent all my network security to go create a rogue peer to peer based network with my neighbors, that's definitely a think I would love, thank you.
I mean, what could go wrong
Ok, this is hilarious. "Benefits of Amazon Sidewalk":

"Amazon Sidewalk creates a low-bandwidth network with the help of Sidewalk Bridge devices including select Echo and Ring devices.
