If you must dual boot, have totally separate hard drives, and the choosing between Linux and Windows should be done in the UEFI boot menu, not GRUB menu. Windows can render Linux unbootable otherwise, requiring a rather complicated rescue. Windows would ideally not have any chance to see the Linux hard drive while booted.
An external SATA SSD in a USB enclosure is cheap these days.

Always be pruning away any objects you don't immediately need that day, putting them away.

Always leave at least one square foot of empty space on any countertop, desktop, table, etc, so that you have somewhere to put things down upon returning from a trip out of the house.

An overburdened-with-users server could discontinue allowing new sign-ups on their sign-up page, but rather post a link to a list of where willing-to-accept-new-users servers are.

What incentives could be created to make that janitor work less thankless and more thankful? Their favorite 15" pizza - the toppings being in non-stingy portions - arriving every Friday at supper time by gig-worker delivery for the length of their tenure?

Nobody likes a freeloader if it's a human - but pets? Nobody grows tired of their freeloading owing to their cuteness.

In order for a Social Media site to be popular, it has to cleverly turn up the evil dial several notches behind the scenes. It would never really "get ahead" in mainstream popularity without the assistance of said evil, which says something dark about human nature.
