The 10 minute default notification for an upcoming meeting is simply a bad default.
10 minutes is too much time. Time enough to get sucked into something and forget the meeting.
It really should be ~3mins. Just enough time for a quick bio break and rushing back to join the meeting.

KRAMER: You, sir, should unmask.
JERRY: Indeed?
NEWMAN: Indeed it’s time. We all have laid aside disguise but you.
JERRY: I wear no mask.
KRAMER: (Terrified, aside to Newman.) No mask? No mask!

episode of seinfeld where jerry is wearing a mask, which is never shown. kramer becomes obsessed with removing the mask, but cannot bring himself to look upon it. his obsession becomes abstract. a hatred of jerry. a hatred of all things. george and elaine watch a fire in the distance, growing closer

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

An interesting hypothetical if you’re wondering if Elon Musk is a genius or not is to compare his behaviour in any situation to what a complete moron would do in the same situation
