In the interest of getting the info out there considering it's uncertain to me whether that's allowed or not (so it doesn't get removed, primarily), the one I'm seeing starts off "To the Feds". It's easy to find.

That doesn't match the ones I'm seeing being reported on, is that one a different one than the ones I'm seeing reported?

Love me some malaphors. My personal favorite is mixing "shit or get off the pot" and "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen"

I don't know how much it being set (in the show and the original games and new Vegas) in an arid dry location might impact your average building's longevity, and also at least in this case I just ultimately consider that the property is based on the setting for a D&D game iirc and in the end rule of cool wins out. Maybe unrealistic, or maybe the result of an alternate timeline that led to divergent construction standards from the constant threat of war that made all buildings be regulated to be capable of withstanding direct attack or something stupid that inadvertently had the effect of making newer structures last for hundreds of years longer. There's all kinds of hand-waving that could just easily be done by Bethesda at this point, they already introduced the brotherhood of steel in 76 much earlier than previously established in their own canon, might as well retcon basically anything.

Edit: New Vegas, for example, had a lore excuse and shows what I think is also reasonable decay under the circumstances. Earlier games were similarly more realistically destitute and broken down, except where it made sense. Bethesda likely just thought that running around a bunch of radioactive ash would be more boring.

If I had a way to make the author aware of USB OTG Ethernet dongles, I would. Also, it 100% supports external drives, which they also say. Not sure why they say it "does not support external drives"

I mean, if anything we're going to sit on the shelf for 200+ years, it would be the plastic pumpkins.

They made their own controller if that's what you're asking.

Do not ask about Jean Luc's number one.

Do you actually know the answer yourself? Just say what you want to say, back it up with data, and PROVE YOUR FUCKING POINT ALREADY. Or keep playing smug coy games and pretend like the downvotes mean you won or something.

As a Virginian living in the area, it's all over NPR. Dunno what to tell you.
