When even the US is telling you you are overdoing the whole bombing thing..

I'm not familiar with the books, and the plot summary of their Wikipedia article does not mention nuclear propulsion whereas the article for the series does, so I went with that.

Unless what bothers you is the x followed by the apostrophe and the s, which I never know when to omit the s, so it is what it is.

It's not uncommon in scifi. Netflix's Three Body Problem also explores such a solution in quite some depth.

The researchers believe it affects all VPN applications when they’re connected to a hostile network and that there are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user's VPN runs on Linux or Android.

I don't think it's the wearing of nappies that is worthy of ridicule. You are right, it's a medical question, people who need it should wear it, and everybody else should just stfu about it. (Except perhaps in the odd case when medical conditions do come into question while assessing the fitness of a candidate to an office, especially such a high stakes and demanding one as the potus, but that's by the by).
