What was Tyler Perry in that he reached those kind of numbers? All I know is that he's into model planes (the massive kind), which makes him cool in my book. But I don't think I've ever seen him in anything?

It highly depends on the job. Some companies run fully on Windows, no exceptions. There it obviously would not help. But many still either host various services on Linux, or buy hosting/cloud commuting that is Linux based. There it might even be necessary.

It also depends on what you mean by "power user". I would generally advise you to look into the server side of things. In my work, there are zero Linux machines that have a GUI of any kind installed. t The 50 or so Linux machines are all administered through SSH and Shell.

I would also agree that you can. Literally any other pizza, including Hawaii.

And that is why we don't buy things that depend on proprietary apps and/or cloud connectivity. Can't break my shit if it's local only.

I also uninstalled after 2ish hours, but had the good sense to refund. What I got wasn't worth 60 bucks, and I'm not gonna pay for a promise. This then starts falling under the "don't pre-order video games" category, and I absolutely just will not do that.

There were too many delays already, the game was way too broken to be even sold at all (even as early access), it was literally a sea of red flags.

Early access is fine for indie studios with a couple of devs. It's fine for games 10-30 bucks. It isn't ok for games that cost 60 and are backed by a multi-billion dollar publisher or parent company. One of the reasons being that this publisher can pull the plug at any time, cause share holders are unhappy, which is exactly what happened.

I remember that Asus did this back in the day at least, not sure if they still do. But I remember having rss feeds for at least 2 of my motherboards in my reader, back when rss was actually widely used. It's been like 10-15 years though...

This is still not an ordinary failure by your definition of it being a single point that failed. It's was like half a dozen "things" that went wrong for that plane to get into the air without those bolts. From not putting them in, to missing inspections, missing cross-checks. Sounds extraordinary to me. Which is the whole point of why it's a deeper issue, showing systematic problems at Boeing and it's partners, and the FAA not doing it's job, too.

Arguably gambling.

This is probably the most unexpected game ever to get a movie adaptation. It does make sense thinking about the setting and story though, so I'm all here for it. Obviously depends highly on writer, director and probably producer(s), but let's just hope they all get it. I mean it could happen, right?

It's also numbers. YouTube has given creators tools to literally benchmark thumbnails. You can just see which one does better. The vast majority of people unfortunately are susceptible to the same patterns. In the end, you need people to click on your video or they can't watch it (which is the point here, to inform people). So here we are.

For example, thumbnails with faces work much better than without (doesn't really matter what or who the face is). I find that monumentally stupid and weird, it just is what it is.

I wrote something about this in another comment just now, and while cracks in eggs with holes weren't frequent, they still happened for me. I have been taught to poke holes in when I was young, and just always did and assumed it was needed. Now I stopped and nothing changed, basically. But it also means I have no point of comparison for how often they used to break without having poked holes, since I just never cooked them like that in the (distant) past.

There's also no real downside to poking holes either, so why not if it might help. I have just misplaced my hole-poking-thingy anyway, so that saves some space in my drawer and not having to get a new one.

Just because there's a logical explanation for why it could work doesn't mean that's actually what happens, or that pressure is even the dominant effect causing cracks.

Cracks could also come from bouncing around in the water, which could be solved by holding them up in some way. Or it could be weak points/areas from not badly formed shells from hens living in too tight quarters or being malnurished, where buying eggs from more humane sources would solve it. Or a combination, where the pressure differences in the water from rising steam bubbles cause uneven water-pressure on the egg, but they only crack when they are sufficiently weak to begin with, so just putting less water in might be enough to not make em crack (cause then there's also less water pressure). I could be the packaging, that some eggs develop cracks during transport and they then make them vulnerable, so more local or differently packaged eggs wouldn't crack at all. As you can see, it's not that hard to come up with logical explanations and just doing a few things differently might just solve the problem, and even then the reason it was resolved might still be something completely different than we thought.

For comparison: I haven't poked a hole into an egg in a long time, and I think I had like one or two crack this year. My eggs come from the farmer one street over, and the hens are freeroaming with plenty of space. They don't get transported at all. Sometimes, I use a steam thingy to boil them, sometimes in water. Even when I did poke holes in, some eggs used to crack anyway, and I'd guess 1 in 3 months in a pretty good guess as to what the frequency was, that's why I said "roughly the same numer" in another comment.
