What I hate even more is when I press the Windows key and start typing an application's name into the Start menu textbox, and it misses the first two or three keypresses.
As a comparison point, gnome 3 does the right thing and buffers the input until it can handle it. On an old machine I usually have the full name typed out and enter pressed before any animation actually starts being displayed.
I think it somehow depends on whether the OS is installed on a spinning disk or an SSD. I know it's stupid but this is my theory based on observation. Would love for someone to verify it.
I'm sure a spinning disk would make it worse, but I do have an SSD (admittedly, a 2013 model and not the fastest). To answer the grandparent, build 15063 and I'm using the laptop keyboard.
I tried a few times and I can consistently make Windows miss at least the first keypress if I haven't opened the Start menu in a few minutes.
Maybe they actually have a Worten company chef who knows what he is doing, or maybe you are just unaware who customer service should be. I don't know. The natives here (south of Spain) don't see that everyone is downright rude to you. Until you go to a scandinavian / north eu place and you see the difference. But it might just be the people here; there is a huge difference between the two.
"Also, look at men vs women. How many wars have women started compared to men? Nearly every war, genocide, and conflict has been caused entirely by men. Why is it that we never see the female versions of Hitler, Gangis Kahn, Napoleon, Stalin, etc... Because evolution has created extremely violent men (not all of us of course)."
One thing is to say that a war is unlikely to be started by a woman (your historical observation); another thing is to say that a woman is unlikely to start a war (your claim). That's because, historically, the people in a position to start a war have mostly been men.
If W means that a given leader (i.e., someone who could have started a war if he or she wanted to) was a woman and S means that the leader started a war, by Bayes' theorem the probability of the leader having started a war, given that she was a woman, is
P(S|W) = P(W|S) P(S) / P(W)
Likewise for men (if ~ means negation):
P(S|~W) = P(~W|S) P(S) / P(~W)
You observed that P(W|S) is much smaller than P(~W|S); but to compare P(S|W) and P(S|~W) you also need to take into account how much smaller P(W) is than P(~W).
Something similar ("Needle Park") was attempted in Zurich in the eighties: a place where drug sale and use was officially tolerated. It was closed after a few years. Opinions are mixed.
"For example, he opposed the RU486 "morning after pill" on a conscience vote"
In fact, the RU486 is a abortion-inducing pill effective in the first 2 months of pregnancy [1], while "morning after pill" is a common name for emergency contraception pills effective for the first few days after intercourse [2].
