Stop preordering unreleased things.

Don't preorder games or unreleased cars.

Funny how a month with 28, sometimes 29, days costs the same as the months with 31 days.

You are correct. However, I mean initialization and finalizing.

Yes, but I think there was some overhead in the process that was slower.

Why isn’t this just the default?

One may notice that for every new method, the old ways stay around, possibly forever. It is not the default because there were things that worked prior to flatpak. The distros that from before flatpak have likely added the capability, but won't likely change their default for another decade, or more.

They often are. Many recalls for other manufacturers are similar. They don't actually buy back the cars and crush them.

You tried. That is far more than many people. Good for you!

I have had similar experiences, but from Linux to other OSes. The mental models for using them are really different, and those don't get enough discussion.

Works well to have camera a few feet from the wall. There is less room on camera that way.

I agree that getting that amount of money, practically speaking, will be difficult.

If they can get so much money, and can spend it/set it in motion in the economy/not just horde it, then it would be great.

However, I don't think it is a good idea for one company to have so much money at one point in time.
