Bitcoin had 211 half an hour “outages” during the last 30 days. 9 of them were longer than one hour

I was surprised to find so much eskepticism about the fact that Bitcoin frequently takes way too long to produce a block. It's a feature of the PoW. This is the list of blocks that took the longest in the last 30 days. Although we had even a couple of cases of more than 1 day on the early days of Bitcoin. Is it a dealbreaker? It isn't for me. It's an acceptable trade-off, if it's available +99% of the time. Well, in this case Bitcoin was avaiable a 98.75% of the time during the last month, but it's fair enough. I thought it's important to post it because I'm exhausted of people that don't know basic info about Bitcoin and accuse me of lying when mentioning this fact.
