I get that people just refer to them as time machines, but they're actually space-time vehicles.

Before your first journey, you calibrate it to a reference point (mine already had Earth mapped out, with a gravity well depth monitor as a fail-safe) so that you lock your target coordinates in space and time.

But no, it's not teleportation. You're still just travelling to your destination, you just get there as quick as you want and without the need to be disintegrated.

Indeed they are! Obviously they have their own power supply to convert to DC, so they connect in a similar manner as a standard AC fan. They are a lot quieter, and usually let you have more speed settings.

Yeah, I have normal camera lenses lower than that. From memory, the F-stop number is like a ratio between the focal length and the effective diameter of the lens.

Yeah, the base model is garbage, but if you spend a little extra for the Stainless Pro, you won't regret it!

Why do they never offer to match donations? I'd probably consider it if they did.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to call RayGun a world superpower.
