There are some cheap wifi cards that have sketchy drivers that aren't automatically installed, and my gigabyte motherboard only came with drivers for Windows 11 for its on-board WiFi, so while windows usually gets the drivers fine there are not-even-that-obscure situations where it just absolutely does not.

The comic references the way Superman seems to rewind time at the end of the 1978 Christopher Reeve movie. In the the film, Superman flies fairly high above the earth, accelerating faster and faster until he travels back in time. The way this is depicted shows the earth's rotation slowing down, and eventually rotating backwards. A common misconception of the movie is that he is making the earth rotate backwards - he is not, he is just himself accelerating to faster than light speeds high above the atmosphere.

Soda is generally sold in 2L bottles here, with single liter bottles growing in popularity. Alcohol is usually sold by the ml, though in units like "fifth" and "handle."

Milk though, milk is sold in half-pints (not sure why they don't write cup), pints, quarts, half-gallon, or gallon. I like to pretend a quart is a shrinkflated liter though.
