Percentages are somewhat misleading here. That's around 2 in 25, enough to falsely accuse a student or 2 in a fairly standard classroom for example.

I remember somebody mentioning a quote along the lines of "A 95% success rate sounds good, until you become the 1 in 20 that it kills"

Before we had diodes in our curriculum i was curious how one would wire them up or mark them on diagrams considering they were inherently polarized, given how electron flow is opposite to conventional. I was quite delighted to see the P/N semiconductor types making it immediately evident

Oof I feel I've been cursed on this front. Any events I try to plan have invariably had zero participation. A particularly rough one was when I tried asking 6 or so people to join me for a convention, 5 of them had (genuine) reasons for why they couldn't join, and the last one tried their best but almost as if by superstition, their phone died

It's gotten to the point where (in an admittedly superstitious manner) I ask people to plan events on my behalf, and inexplicably that ends up working

Ahh right, I was wondering if voltage levels would be compatible, that makes sense. Thanks!

On point 1, as far as I understand, generally since they use fossil fuels to hear water and generate steam to spin turbines, the generators output grid-compatible AC right away

Something I noticed recently is that Sunshine has added support for XDG Portal Screenshare access, meaning on KDE you can actually screen share a virtual display without needing anything configured on the hardware. You need to use the xdg-portal capture method, but I've tried it out with my phone before
