So glad I got a 12900k. Apparently they beefed up the reliability of the 12th Gen since it was the first gen with the new framework, but crapped out on the subsequent gens. Looking like it's going to be the best CPU for quite some time.

To be fair, that's probably the best Overwatch short there is. When I first saw it, I thought "this is better than some of the stuff Pixar puts out", which back in the day was saying something.
I thought Signal was the big one?
I mean, it was a pretty well targeted attack.
If you go to a museum and see an impressive skeleton of a dinosaur, you're not actually looking at dinosaur bones. And no, I don't mean because they've calcified and become "rock". I mean the real bones are in a drawer somewhere, if they even exist. What you're looking at is plaster, often with many of the pieces wholly created from scratch in order to produce a full skeleton.
Most of the time they are third party companies hired out by the main one who have literally zero ability to resolve your issue.
Not just without protection, also without lube or foreplay of any kind. That's an important distinction.
The Martian and Project Hail Mary are some of the best sci-fi-of-tomorrow books I have ever read. Maybe not a single day, but neither are overly long.
I don't think anyone had an issue with Benedict Wong as one of the head monks so I think your theory is bad.
Unit 731 was garbage science. About the only thing worthwhile that came from that was learning how better to treat hypothermia. Most of their experiments boiled down to "If we do terrible things to people, how much will they suffer?" with the answer being "A lot."
It doesn't take live experiments to learn things like surgery without anesthesia is less effective, or that not treating people infected with horrible diseases causes them to die in agony.
Eugenics. Not the racist BS that was done in the past, but really pushing the limit to see if we can breed super humans. Genetic editing to make humans immune to cancer or disease. Increased lifespan. Resistance to radiation. Smarter. Stronger. Better.
Arguably, this kind of thing is actually somewhat of a necessity if we ever want to explore the stars. We are far too fragile in our current bodies to survive the difficulties and vastness of space.
It's not about winning the fight, it's about ensuring they are never considered a viable target again.
