The upper case Seven is bigger than the lower case seven, so they aren’t quite equal.

I’ve posted to both of these and I _still_ misread them:  
**[Liberal Christmas vs Conservative Christmas](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/liberal-christians-vs-conservative-christians/1006491)**. I guess _everything_ is political now.

**[How to program HVAC system when snowboarding](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-to-program-hvac-system-when-snowbirding/1006532)**. How about “Cold enough to make snow”?

Fun fact: According to some car blog I read a few months ago, 1970s era AMC cars had a “desert only” setting on their air conditioners. Apparently if you used this setting in a humid climate the AC would literally start blowing snowflakes out the vents.

[Cameras with auto functionality as witnesses to crime](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/autos-with-camera-functionality-as-witnesses-to-crime/1006776)

Apparently that chain’s name is NOT based on the cartoon character, note (on the Gene Hackman character from the French Connection), even tho years ago I would have sworn they used him and esp, Wimpy to sell their fare.
