Yup.
I saw it as a great idea, when it came out (with '98? I don't remember) but it never worked well, so I tried it with each new "improvement" of windows, but always stopped using it in short order.
As I say, I think the main problem is timestamps -- the "blanks" in the time-frame -- but that's at least 60% assumption; I've never debugged it.
If I've guessed right, then as software (like chrome) gets more and more intrusive about user behaviour, the problem is bound to get worse, so the biggest glitches will show up there first.

Odd that, I'm still using W7 at work, and that has a persistent problem that causes it to reboot in the middle of a hibernate/sleep cycle, or even when the PC is locked. It's persisted even after the system was rebuilt. On a Dell desktop system.
Bit of a pain, as it limits my capability to work from home as I keep having to dial in to tell someone to wake my PC every time I have a break.
Pretty sure I've seen similar issues (or worse) on most prior versions of Windows, but (apart from an issue updating UWP apps, that I really don't care about) my W10 desktop at home has been solid as a rock.
But that's anecdotal evidence for you, pretty well worthless in the absence of deeper, more methodical surveys.

Hibernate was always unstable, which is probably why they implemented fast-start as an immutable feature (it's not hibernate, but it's got all the bugs that hibernate had/has).

DO. NOT. EAT.

That depends. Do you normally eat lots of starch and sugar? Was it fresh or fast food?
Note, never let it get cold.

Well if you do not eat that type of food often, it is not the best thing to order. Fast food version is a poor example. Hope you feel better soon.

All things considered, I think we'd all be better off (and the stuff more appetizing) if it were made from actual funnels.

All this talk of cake made me hungry. Guess what I'm doing right now? Enjoying a slice or three of sponge cake and sipping a hot cuppa tea! It's a public holiday in Ontario and I'm busy working on my (personal) Android app and enjoying the eastern view from my bedroom window.
