For distances >600km, flying is usually 4x-10x faster at a similar price. At least in and around Germany. I assume in the US trains compare way worse, also because the distances are way larger.

Examples: “Normal” example: Stuttgart (Germany) -> Amsterdam (Netherlands) Train: 11h 10min - 241€ Plane: 1h 20min - 225€

Best case scenario for train in Germany at around that distance (because there’s a direct connection): München -> Berlin Train: 3h 54min - 167€ Plane: 1h 5min - 226€

Then why not use 1? It’s closer to pi than 10 and even easier to calculate with.

There’s a couple of reasons straws might be convenient or even necessary:

• You have a disability that causes movement problems like shaking
• Limited neck/shoulder/arm mobility or a swollen lip (The latter makes it hard to get a proper seal)
• You wear lipstick or other makeup that could get washed away
• Your edibles were too strong
• You can build containers that don’t spill when they fall over

(Edit: Add text at the beginning instead of just throwing a list out there)

KDE is more similar to windows, Gnome is maybe closer to MacOS.

But generally, KDE felt always a bit “super user” to me, and I found the amount of customizability and features more overwhelming than useful. Gnome is simple, clean, and I prefer it for that reason.
