Hell, I've heard of Americans coming to Vancouver Canada and being pleasantly surprised about our public transit. We don't even technically have a proper heavy metro, and the SkyTrain is classified as automated "light" metro, AKA the kind they have in tiny German towns that are too small for heavy metro or S-bahn, AKA basically the same as an airport peoplemover but built out for a metro area of 3 million people.
FreeBSD does not have support for multiple drives
What really? Isn't Freenas a Freebsd distro? Isn't ZFS like something you can only do efficiently on BSD?

Then it wouldn't be reasonable to assume the US would collapse right at the average (mean) though. If the majority of empires collapsed at the same age (the mode) it would be different, but the mean tells you very little about when any particular empire will collapse.
The mean number of children per household is a decimal, that doesn't mean any households have partial children.
Using prison slave labour for firefighting is literally the dumbest shit I've ever heard even ignoring all the ethical issues. You know who I don't want in charge of saving my life from a fire? Someone who's being forced to do it. Because that person probably won't try very hard.
Dumbest AND most genius: Fake captchas that get the user to press windows+R, then control+C, then enter.
Dumbest because if you paid attention to what's being pasted, it's usually a call to power shell with an arbitrary script, and it's being pasted into your OS's run box which is basically like a console.
But also genius because there are tons of people that fall for it, and it's a social engineering masterpiece.

This really highlights two systemic issues: tons of people don't know what they're doing with computers and don't know basic security concepts like don't run an arbitrary script from an untrusted website, and we should probably do something about that. Which brings me to the second point that Windows is pretty ass for making it this easy. Why can you run an encoded power shell script from your run box, and why would you make bypassing the execution policy as easy as a flag in the command you're invoking? I can't imagine those have a lot of legitimate uses and aren't just being abused by criminals.
But seriously, why would you make something like this in assembly?
Coding exercise? To see if they can?
So it will fit right into Meta's work culture then!

Except those weren't "holidays" in the same sense as modern holidays, as in you had the day to yourself and you could do pretty much whatever you wanted. Those were church days, you had to go to mass, fast for the day, and/or do other assorted religious rituals. You didn't get a break from work, you were forbidden from working even if you wanted (needed) to because you're supposed to be worshipping God on those days. Failing to do so can get you shunned from your community as a sinner, or worse, executed for being a blasphemer, especially if you're a woman. If you're falling behind on the quotas your lord gave you, those kinds of "holidays" would only make the situation worse because you're not allowed to use them to catch up.
