You speak Texan, not American English. Ya'll get your own way of talkin' and power grid.

Best country in America.

Idk, I was too old and not on the right kind of drugs to watch it when it came out.

If that is true, my explanation still holds up with the change that their parents moved to America from Madagascar.

Fixed. Sorry, English is my first language but my autocorrect is aggressive.

Also "appraised" and "apprised" are not homonyms, unless you pronounce them wrong.

Clearly they are Jewish and their ancestors were part of The Madagascar Plan, where Nazi Germany was forced resettling Jewish people in Madagascar.

They have largely been isolated and weren't able to keep apprised of what happened after their family was resettled. Germany had been really pushing to establish a military base in Antarctica for decades, so the penguins had the understanding that Germany must be well established there by the time they got there.

So that is why Penguins from Madagascar would believe that people in Antarctica would be speaking German.

HUDs in cars have been a thing since the late 80s, not the same thing as an whole windshield display for AR.

The ads are a concern, but it would be neat to have your nav overlayed on the road. I imagine manufacturers removing instrument clusters and putting all the relevant information on the windshield in the next evolution of Tesla's dumb idea to put everything on the infotainment.

There totally will be driverless taxi with obnoxious and unmutable ads, just like with gas pumps. You will be able to watch ads on YouTube and Netflix while your car drives you to the next location of a realized dystopian nightmare.

The Wright brothers' first flight was 40 years prior. They were trying all sorts of crazy stuff and relaxed, for the most part, in the 60s. They invented the helicopter, an aircraft that stays aloft through sheer violence alone, in '39.

Why do I want this so bad?!

$19.99? Sold! I have no idea what I will use it for, but for God's sake I know how I am probably going to accidentally hurt myself.

It does have some value(like shooting a turkey neck to avoid lead-tainted meat), but it is a novelty or exotic round at the end of the day since it is far too powerful a round to be used for squirrel privateering. Also most woodland mammal cargo vessels haven't use sails for decades before the bolo round cartridge became viable.

It may be a bit of a joke round, but it wouldn't be very funny to find yourself at the business end of a derringer with one in the pipe.

"Thunderhead" is hardcast or an alloy with a channel cut in both sides that causes it to do some gnarly stuff to soft tissue as the round hits and the tissue "splashes" through the gaps instead of displacing from the round. Kind of a more extreme version of a Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defense.

"CFA" is Controlled Fracturing Ammunition, like the G2 RIP. Think hollowpoint but the petals are meant to disperse into the target while the back of the round dumps energy.

"Bolo" isn't meant to tie something up like a normal bolo, it just allows the round halves to widen out and disperse energy across a wider area. Some people like them for shooting turkey necks, but those people are weird.
