It's just flatout wrong to say it makes no sense because an acronym is pronounced as a word, not an abbreviation of its words. AIDS isn't pronounced "awh-ids", NASA isn't pronounced "N-eh-sa".

This is strictly untrue for many climates. Where I live in Canada, 0F is average winter day, 100F is record-breaking "I might actually die" levels of heat.

-30C to 30C is not any more complicated or less intuitive than -22F to 86F

Standing desks - stationary standing is just as bad as stationary sitting.

Blue light filter stuff - it's my understanding that there's no evidence that blue light causes eye strain.
