That tracks with some human social groups I have met or been welcomed into.
There's usually one or two guys who are willing to play the "big scary" when necessary to get rid of creeps. The rest of the time they're usually the chill ones whose couch anyone can crash on.
I guess that is a kind of leadership, in itself.
But they usually aren't the one who decides which theater to go to.
I don't see how even Amazon can try to kill the competition in a market that huge, regardless of price or convenience.

A tricked out tank, covered in specialized launchers.
It's an acronym: T.W.A.I.N. (edit: a backconym, as was pointed out - I've also heard that the weird upper case name came first, and the weirder acronym was added later.)
"Technology without an interesting name."
And... That's all I remember about it, at the moment.
Well, also that it broke often, and threw weird errors like the one pictured.
Or do I just have a really weak electric stove?
I think you might just have a really weak one, or poor compatibility pots? I've had both, and if anything my gas burners feel a little slower and cooler than my induction stove did.
