What bothers me about most time travel

You know what bothers me about time travel in nearly all fiction… the Earth is rotating on it’s axis at roughly 1k miles per hour (at the equator, slower up here north of the equator), the Earth is moving 66,000 miles per hour through the solar system, the sun is moving about 43,000 miles per hour (relative to the local standard of rest) around the galaxy, the galaxy is moving roughly 483,000 miles per hour through the universe… 

 

Let's look at a common theory of ghosts for a second "perhaps it's bleeding through from another time" ok... so for something to bleed through for another time… it would be appearing into some random patch of space an absurd distance away from the physical location on Earth it is bleeding through from.  It’s why Wells’ time machine, Doc Brown’s etc just don’t work. If you went one second into the past or future you’d be 164.72 miles or so away from where you were a second before… in space. 

 

That's just a single second folks... this is why you need something complicated like the TARDIS that travels through time AND space. That's why you can't just walk into the TARDIS and push a button to get somewhere and somewhen. It's a process, a very complicated one... even with the TARDIS doing a lot of the work, it's still a complex maneuver on part of the pilot.

Bought a 2013 Chevy TARDIS

So about a month ago my (dad's) truck died it's last death. I was helping a friend's mom move, parked, and she never came out of park again... well she did but only to go into EVERY gear.

I looked and looked and looked for affordable used cars in good shape. Anything under 10k$ had 100-150k miles minimum. Forget that, I found this 2013 Chevy Impala at a great price. It's a lot better on gas, even has a bigger engine than the truck and is amazing. I have only one complaint about it, well ok 2. First complaint, the parking break gets in the way both entering and exiting the vehicle, it gets in the way of your left foot both getting in and out due to how far it sticks out, I still find myself catching it every now and then after a few weeks. My second complaint, the rev limiter cuts you off at 112mph. Hypothetically.

Kris Longknife and The Doctor

I'm 10 books into the Kris Longknife series few hundred years in the future space opera, no other reference to Doctor Who then... "Kris fell silent, just what was a frigate? Kris had never heard of that class of ships. How big was it?... Kris decided to wait and see if this new Wasp was bigger than a breadbox and smaller than the mythical telephone booth" bwahahahahaah
