What on earth are you talking about? Windows is the king of a system just breaking itself for seemingly no reason with no way of fixing it. At least on Linux, I know there'll be hundreds of forum posts telling me how to fix something.

While we're on the subject of esoteric issues with Windows, Update just recently had a bug where it couldn't update if your Recovery partition wasn't big enough. The Recovery partition that was created on install. Automatically. By Windows.

Cinnamon is way more resource hogging than KDE.

I really don't think the /j is necessary.

Sorry to break it to you, but cartels are never gonna die off. They're not something that's currently happening in Mexico, they're the backbone of the Mexican economy and have been since the revolution war a hundred years ago.

More context: Cartels, although they weren't called that back then, are how the revolution war was financed. They basically rolled up into small towns and took everything that wasn't nailed down —including women— under the pretext that they needed it to "fight for freedom". When the revolution ended and they had no excuse to ransack villages anymore, they pivoted onto drugs. If drugs are legalized, they're just gonna pivot to something else. Right now, there's cartels who barely sell drugs and make most of their money through kidnappings and extortion.

They also used actual military tactics to fight the Emus, like mapping their routes and setting up ambushes. In one of these, they managed to get close to a flock of about a thousand emus and attacked them with machine guns only allowing the escape of... lemme check... about a thousand emus.

I got the second Punic war, but I think that's just a freebie. I also spent a lot learning about the Falkland's war just to annoy Argentinians online.

Here. I'm afraid there isn't much that's interesting about it other than the fact that it happened in the first place — I only singled it out because it's quite recent. If you want something interesting, though, how about the time our president straight up doxed a New York Times reporter on live TV?

If we're counting every Pokémon game as a single one, then that. Otherwise, probably Skyrim. I must have like 2000+ hours across all of its versions.

It's just really hard. Valve has been throwing money at the problem for like 10 years now and still hasn't gotten it right.

So they didn't have AC before? And people wonder why going on a murder rampage is called going postal.

Mexican here. Last month, a reporter known for being critical of the government was fired live in the middle of his segment. We're definitely going fascist.
