Edge is just Chromium. When they retired IE they switched. It might still work better because it's the default supposedly built to work with their products so their tweaks should help. But it is Teams and they've been doing a lot more updates lately. Did you update to the new version of Teams they've been pushing? It's bad and it's performance is bad, so that can cause issues.

Edge is built on Chromium for every OS. When they developed it they said they were using Chromium. This is not special for Linux.

Your inability to understand is not my problem. I suggest a reading comprehension class. I understand that some of those big words like "Probabilities" and "math" might be too much for you. It's okay. We all have things we're good at. You'll find yours one day.

Ah. Sorry, I assumed you knew what you were talking about about and not just copy/pasting a thing you found. My bad.

Questioning doesn't mean you have to come to a different conclusion. I'm cis-het(ish) and don't just take that for granted. I've thought about my gender identity and sexuality and done the introspection. I'm definitely more of a gender abolitionist, so I don't necessarily follow the loosely ascribed gender traits consistently, but I'm not trans. Questioning and defying social norms does not make one not cis. And that government comment is weird. Society assigns them to us. The government just writes it down.

So not really then. I've always heard this but not seen it explained. But what you're saying is that with every interaction the likely hood of finding a match goes up. But realistically, probabilities like that are just fun quirks of math, not representations of reality. Probabilities are doing the math on events, but these are events discussing concrete and unchanging dates. Every person paired up isn't given a random date in every interaction. They have a set date from the outset, you just don't know it. There's not a random number generator picking a number from a set every time. Unless you're in a simulation and none of this is real and birthdays don't exist and the computer you're plugged into has to make up a random birthday every time you interact.

Because time and direction are different metrics? West is a metric that only means anything in relation to something else in a straight line. It's a direction. West doesn't stop being west if you go too far. It's always west.

But aren't the tides caused by external gravitational forces (the moon?)

Oof. Yeah... Sometimes there's just no getting around it. That's rough. I've had some that when I was working on them I just knew that it should take 5 minutes but will end up being 30 because every input means I wait 5 minutes for it to catch up. We also have some that are used and continuously updated every day. I was finally able to convince them to archive old ones and get a new sheet every quarter.

My workplace switched from G Suite to all MS a while back. I was livid at first. MS Excel does have some good features that Sheets doesn't, and some of their formulas can be better functionally. But Google understands user experience better and it definitely runs more efficiently than Excel. Like, Excel, This workbook isn't set to share yet, it's entirely local. Why is every other window of Excel also updating every time I change something? They aren't affected!

Anyway, if possible, when I'm working on a really chunky workbook, if possible I'll do all the work offline in the app and everything else open in the browser. If I have to add it to a shared sheet, I'll just paste it in when I'm done and know it works. I work with excel lot, but it's mostly data sifting and I tend to use Excel in ways it was not designed for, so my formulas can get out of hand sometimes and be a bit much on larger sheets.

If I had to guess, Teams is getting small updates when that happens to you. You have it turned off on startup, but if it gets an update and the end of that update is a restart of the program. And poorly designed updates tend to reset connections or settings. And Teams loves its updates. I wouldn't turn off the auto updates though if I was you. Usually they are security updates.
