If you export it “wrong” once, you have to change the generated exe name, or windows will refuse to use the new icon.

Sounds like you just need to clear the icon cache. It's been a minute since I've written Windows apps, so I don't remember that process, but I'm sure google could help you out.

Programs compiled “from scratch” don’t have an icon...

As someone that wrote Windows applications for a living, that's wrong. You just have to add a resource file and your icon.

You can see that the hose enters the center of a centrifugal blower, which is the inlet, so the hoses are sucking.

Man, I hate that BlueTooth doesn't have an equivalent of "line-out" that isn't affected by the host devices' volume settings. It's so annoying when I can barely hear my music because I turned the volume way down on my phone while watching a video late last night.

This is only partly wrong, though. Happy employees stay even when paid less than they might get elsewhere, and unhappy employees leave regardless of high pay.

In my humble opinion, I'd say none of the three options are correct.

  • Ping-pong table - this is an answer along the lines of free pizza and casual Fridays that so many laughably out of touch managers default to. It's liable to actually low-key insult your employees.
  • Additional responsibilities - bitch, we are all drowning under work because of short staffing. I don't need another title bump and half of Travis' work after he left for a job with work-from-home.
  • A raise in pay - this only works if you can raise pay so high that its worth dealing with this shitty job, and that often just isn't possible.

What workers actually ask for is reasonable staffing, work/life balance, adequate tools to do their job, and autonomy.

Has ending on a cliff-hanger ever worked to get a show renewed?

I don't know how it is in practice, but conceptually clearing a jam in a 40mm grenade thrower sounds nerve-wracking.

I've got an older 3900X that's Zen 2, but I'm otherwise clear, too.

It's kind of hard to figure out which Zen # a CPU falls under, so here's the Wiki page listing all Zen 2 CPUs.

Heat pump water heaters already exist, but I think they're pretty expensive compared to gas/resistive heat.

I wouldn't be surprised if electric tankless water heaters are indeed infeasible under this mandate. Heat pumps generally aren't powerful, and tankless heaters require enormous amounts of power while in use.
