You don’t necessarily have to have ejector seats - WW2 era bombers for example relied on the crew making their way to a hatch to bail out. Despite being a considerably lower chance of survival than modern systems (not helped by various positions having to crawl through narrow spaces to escape and/or find and put on their parachutes due to not having space to wear them during normal operation) the option of bailing out saved a large amount of people.

I would be reasonably confident in offline games running in 20 years if you bought the cartridges, if you bought the estore versions I would be significantly less confident.

Technically speaking, no one outside of college demonstration engines are burning hydrogen

Toyota has made various working prototype hydrogen combustion engines, so it’s not impossible these could end up in production in the nearish future (they’ve done a hydrogen version of at least the GR Yaris/Corolla engine, a V6, and a V8).

I’d consider it a normal phrase and I’m Australian, so it’s not just a British thing.

Probably should take into account people with learning disabilities and processing disorders

As an option, definitely. As a default though I too would prefer the standard spoken form if the time is going to be spoken rather than displayed. It’s a bit like how simplified wikipedia is a good idea but I prefer regular English to be the default version.

The pretty important context to this video is that the boy in question had allegedly just broken into the mayor’s house and he was waiting for the police (see here for a news article about the event).

There are obviously exceptions, hence why I said often instead of always. Think larger scale and/or involving fixed objects and cardinal directions tend to be logical, for example:

• Install the equipment in the western plant room.

• Please set up the workstation near the power point on the western wall of the room.

• Come in via Foo Rd, when you get to the intersection with Bar Rd turn west.

• My desk is in the south western corner of the office.

• Walk west along the ridge from the carpark, then once you reach the giant boulder take the northern spur down to the river.

Yep - in the northern hemisphere a sundial shadow will move from west to east in a clockwise fashion; in the southern hemisphere it still goes west to east but does so moving anticlockwise.

Cardinal directions as references instead of left/right are often a better option when describing locations, more people should use them. It’s not like it’s hard to get an idea of where north is - even if you’re a bit challenged on the spatial awareness front basically everyone these days has a phone that will easily tell you this.

Yep, though it’s just a picture of the (former) Australian PM giving himself a bit of arc flash

But you can see so much more without that pesky mask…
