The only important thing about cabling is RF shielding, and even that's not really important if your setup is more or less standalone. If you have a bunch of different unshielded/poorly shielded RF sources right by your sound setup that's a different matter.

Unless you're hitting stupidly large amounts of Vitamin D it's really difficult to overdose on. Vitamins A and B3 are much, much easier to OD on. Now, if you don't get enough K2, larger amounts of Vitamin D can lead to a dysregulation of calcium in your body, but that that is not the same as vitamin overdose.

Again, they explicitly attempted to interdict the weapons in WR and tried to work with their Mexican counterparts and failed miserably, which were the primary contributors to it being shut down. In F&F they explicitly did NOT inform their Mexican counterparts and no attempt whatsoever was made to interdict the weapons after they were sold.

Project Gunrunner was the overarching name given to Operation Wide Reciever and Fast and Furious. Also the Hernandez and Madrano cases but they were against specific people and not particularly relevant. Operation Wide Reciever was fundamentally different in multiple respects. It was much smaller in scope and there was an actual attempt to track the guns to their destination, including by implanting radio trackers into some of the guns' stocks themselves. It failed miserably and was quickly shut down. Operation Fast and Furious made ZERO attempt to track the guns to their destination, and was over an order of magnitude larger. Moreover, it was only stopped after one of the guns was involved in the death of a US Border Patrol agent. Equating WR and F&F is a fundamentally retarded position.

In order to quickly and accurately figure out what process calls and are causing frametime spikes and when, which are an important metrics when designing a simulator for a set of people with the some of the best vision and reaction times in the world, this sort of software is needed. And it's cheaper to buy a good one than try to make a good one.

Crockpots and now Instant Pots are set and forget. Pasta takes 15 minutes. Eggs take 15 minutes. Sandwiches take 5 minutes. Soup take 6 minutes on the stove or 3 in the microwave. Salad takes 5 minutes. 10 minutes if you want a protein topping. As for "food deserts" they only occur when people stop shopping at the grocery stores.
