"The human is almost extinct in the wild. A captive breeding program has been phenomenally successful. Sometimes humans say they eat nachos like an animal, as though they aren't one." -> "A man disappears in the forest. The prisoner's system was successful. Sometimes people say they are animals."

I suspect the k in kWh leads to the occasional factor of 1000 error.

If you're terrified of drones, that's an interesting feedback loop.

When I was an undergraduate, I suggested some ideas to my classmates that would now be called "static analysis". About 1/4 of them would reflexively respond with "That won't work: halting problem". They were vaguely aware that someone infinitely more clever than us had proved the impossibility of something having to do with code analyzing code, and so they considered the whole topic off limits forever.

Referring to a "need" in a pointedly vague way whose meaning had to be inferred from context used to be a euphemistic way of referring to all kinds of biological imperatives. It is important to remember that this use isn't common everywhere. In particular, "do one's need" is unrelated to "do the needful".

Jeff Goldblum visited a game developer for his eponymous TV show. Even as a musician, he was surprised and enchanted by the idea of an "audio reward".

Some people are thrown off when the time goes 10AM, 11AM, 12PM, 1PM. The "12" is used more like a 0. So 0 hours and 30 minutes post meridian is 12:30PM.

This reminds me of the issue of clocks starting at 12 instead of 0.
