Embedded for convenience:

Can we make it a rubber duck? I'd like to be able to debug my code at any time.

"smoking" and "cured" mean something else when talking about meat

Wherever is reading this, this article is worth looking at. Just trust me.

Usually when that happens there's a way to tie it back to circles, but it's not always easy to find

There's likely a clearer error if you scroll up.

You wouldn't turn up the volume when you know the scene is meant to be quiet. Or at least, you wouldn't turn it up so high you can hear the background noise at the level you want to hear dialogue.

Laptop keyboard layouts. There is no reason they should be so different.

Specifically, those laptops that have full-sized left and right arrows, but half-sized up and down arrows - those earn 1 week of jail time for the CEO per unit sold.

While we're at it, the power button must be in the same place on all laptops.

This is not as straightforward as you might think. If there's an actual quiet part it would amplify the background noise.

I can get behind this one.

But how am I supposed to wash my good kitchen knives?

This screenshot is a little bit hard to see, but from what I can tell:

°RA is pointing at °R and °C
°C is pointing at K and °F
K is pointing at °R and at °F
°R is pointing at °F (and the other gun isn't aimed at anyone in particular)
°F is pointing at K and at °C

Emphasis disproves your claims, sadly. Perhaps there was another way to label them to make it fit, but that's not what was done here.

I will always use the GUI for this when given the option. Change my mind (you can't).

If using log scale, 0 is at -∞

Pedantry:

K and °R agree on 0
K and °C agree on the unit difference
°F and °R agree on the unit difference
°R and °Ra are the exact same thing (??)

From what I can gather, R and Ra are the same thing?

I don't think any context is needed, it's just about when you have an idea that you think is great and novel but it turns out it has already been done 30 years prior.

Problem is that some sports are really unfair towards one of the sexes (and it's not always men who have the advantage). I definitely think it should be mixed for sports where there's no advantage.
