I'm trying to track down a post I saved that has a list, but in the meantime the two I can recommend are marginalia-search.com and neocities.org. The former is a search engine focusing on small/personal sites, the latter is a free host of simple personal sites with discoverability features

There's a few! They just face the same problems

There are plenty, it's just that even beyond basic costs (servers, web design, etc) it's hard to get the word out if you don't have money to spend on that

They're pretty good at landing the boosters at this point, even on starship (this one's booster was intentionally destroyed to test control after a simulated engine failure). They're currently failing at the much more basic problem of getting a payload into orbit

Eh we've had artificial gravity with centripetal force figured out since the 60s. We've never tested it on a human scale cuz special exercise can overcome negative health effects for the relatively short timeframes we've been doing human spaceflight with so far
I'll give you the other two though

They weren't. We did, however, put a Nazi fighter ace in change of the NATO military committee in the 70s.

I use the conelrad mod for new Vegas and that playlist has some of the most rancid vibes imaginable. About 50/50 "song about getting nuked" and "song about getting nuked (racist)". Plus a couple pro Vietnam war songs which I think are the most rancid of the bunch.

They've retconned that a bit I think. Last I checked it wasn't that the transistor was never invented it was that the transitor was invented like a decade before the bombs fell and that's how things like the pipboy work

Honestly that's probably more down to differences in art direction between Bethesda and interplay/obsidian. The world building isn't particularly consistent between the two coasts. But in both of them there's not really that much that suggests it's just a fad

Now, there are cities like Austin that have relatively architecturally homogeneous skylines, but that's because of maybe growth that took it from a small city to one of the largest in the country over about 20 years. I have a hard time believing that could apply to somewhere like Boston

You can see this most clearly in the Boston skyline I think. There are two types of building here: historical and 50s retro future. A skyline like this wouldn't be built all at once in a city as big as Boston, so it's safe to assume buildings have been built like this for a while

Eh I dunno, it's all pretty consistently 50s. If it was a fad you'd expect older buildings to have stuff that wasn't 50s, but instead it's all pretty uniform unless the building is older than the 50s. Either most of the buildings were built around 2077 or it's been like this for a while

I mean the British government once created it's own market bubble with a scam trading company it used to get rid of it's debt, so it's not unheard of

Nah you gotta use regular water for that. If you hit that thing with saltwater the whole thing will rust

You don't stop it, you deflect it so it doesn't hit the pillars.

Yeah dolphins aren't designed to stop the ship but to deflect it away from vulnerable parts of the bridge. This ship didn't even hit them

Basically the center span is balanced by the ones on either side. This lets you make a longer clear span (the space between supports, very important in a shipping lane) but it means that anything that if something happens to any of the three spans the whole thing goes down

Eh not as much as you'd think. This kinda bridge is actually pretty easy to fully collapse like that. Any impact large enough to destabilize (or in this case destroy) one of the supports will take out the whole thing cuz of the way the truss works.

You don't, you surround the pillars in a small island of concrete, like these.

Pretty much the only thing we could come up with was parks,which on a summer afternoon in Texas isn't exactly the most pleasant place to hang out.Which is another thing to consider,parks in a lot of places are pretty much the only free third space,but the weather isn't always conducive to using them
