How do you even pronounce UEFI?
You're 100% correct.
But I'm gonna keep calling it BIOS anyway.

I don't need this feature even a little bit.
In lieu of this, I have consistently used this feature at least twice a week ever since I found it by accident. It adds a little joy to my day.

It's maddening.
I'm an uncultured slob that doesn't put my blankets in giant pillowcases. I am happy in my ignorance.

Look at it selfishly:
Pulling the level is the only way to have a shot at not being saddled with the guilt of killing someone. Sure, killing 5 people is worse than killing 1, but avoiding that personal impact entirely is a desirable goal in and of itself.

What's the most unforgivable sin done in media that you're still bitter about?
For me, the Mass Effect 3 ending at launch. It's still aggressively mediocre after several patches and DLCs, but the original at launch was genuinely insulting. I have only been invested in a piece of media like that a few times in my life—the shittiness of that ending really ruined me for a few days. It was an entire decade before I could muster up the desire to replay the trilogy. I'll still be mad about it when I'm on my deathbed.
Game of Thrones ending was less disappointing for me.

I'm in TX. For me, it would be 21 hours of driving assuming no traffic or stops. Given gas prices, it would be cheaper to fly. And given the price of flights, if I'm splurging on plane tickets, I'm probably going somewhere pleasant to be so I can ease my poor mind from the constant flood of cortisol that is modern life—DC is a place that will bring only resentment and misery.

We also lacked indoor plumbing, sanitation, sewage management, and typically had livestock near people as there were no highways or 18-wheelers to deliver meat from a farm in another region.
Life was stanky for thousands of years.

No, if you loved 1 and 2 you should finish it. They have updated the ending so it's not miserable, but set expectations accordingly. However, ME3 does have some great high points. It was a rushed mess at release. Face import failed for characters that played through 1 and 2, for example.
I have a lot of complaints, but I wouldn't completely ignore the game if you love the series.

Hell, I use it locally if there's any highway involved. Wrecks are common here and knowing what roads to avoid is nice.

There is no specific appointment for the losing presidential nominee. They just lose and move on.
The idea with the US government is checks and balances between government branches. Congress and SCOTUS have some degree of power over the president and each branch can keep the other two in check. Historically it has worked well, but things have been changing quickly in the last 10-20 years, but especially with the two Trump admins.
The current situation with Trump is particularly different for a few reasons:
Trump has a perfect storm of control over the systems normally in-place to hold him accountable.
Once we have an administration ran by adults in power again, we're going to need to seriously re-evaluate and update our system of checks and balances, or future administrations will continue to exploit these problems until the country rots and dies.

Give am a scrub and a wash to clean off most of the dirt and you're golden. Microbes are on everything everywhere; whatever the scrub and rinse doesn't remove, the cooking will.

Unironically at this point

I'm gaming on grandpa Debian using nVidia's CUDA repository for driver updates and I'm sitting fat and happy. Ignore instructions to install kernel headers for your specific kernel and just use the linux-headers-amd64 meta-package and it will automatically install new headers when the kernel updates. DKMS will rebuild the nvidia module for the new kernel and now kernel and nvidia driver updates are seamless. Performance is not noticeably different from when I was on Windows.
The only improvement at this point would be kernel-level integration like AMD has so I don't need to add a repository, but aside from that I honestly don't see room for improvement.

They're called comforters and very common in many places. I rarely see duvets where I live. You just wash them periodically like anything else.
Bed bugs need to be introduced to the home from a source somewhere and a duvet cover won't help if they are.

I can't say what is objectively true, but I can say that if I were in that situation, I absolutely would feel responsible for the outcome if I could have reasonably affected it.

I've been on Debian since the start of the year and been having a grand old time. I rarely think about it.
