On both desktop and Android, I've been getting HTTPS errors that require two Refresh clicks before the actual page loads.

I agree, I'd cut off dual booting and go full Linux when the hardware and software I use supports it. One of which being a PCIe Elgato capture card, another being an audio mixer with no driver support and the alternatives are very hacky and too complicated for me.

Several reported having to be diverted, and I think in one case a flight that left JFK had to return to JFK while over the midwest: https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/ASA31

Well, there's a theory the latter will happen, but you'd have to be around for possibly 10 million years to see it. https://www.wired.com/story/walker-lane-move-over-san-andrea...

It also didn't help that the Metric Conversion Act defined it as voluntary, and the U.S. Metric Board was essentially toothless from the start.

The funny part is that in elementary school here in the mid to late 90s, growing up in a rural area, metric was only touched upon for a day at most and until high school chemistry and physics classes, I very rarely had to deal with metric. Which sucked! My math classes kept to U.S. customary system / imperial units for example.

(It wasn't even told to me that it was the default for most of the world. It was disappointing to learn later how much resistance to metric there was in the U.S.)
