The forum doesn't have enough boards.  Let's suggest some new ones.

Doesn't your post mean there are two questions for today in view of the one freebrickproductions posted? The guy who started the thread said

No more than one conversation starter question per day.

Oh, I didn't notice the date at the top of his post (which is crazy, considering I quoted him).  I just thought he was replying, not giving an actual daily conversation starter.

I've removed mine now.

Kind of average around the curve; do not expect designs pressed into sound walls nor bridge abutments, no signs of fancy lighting, any other local frippery mounted upon bridge railings nor questionable artworks.

A clapper. And not the "on/off" as seen on TV kind.

A piece that looks to be in C# minor, with that key signature, is a minor thing that bothers me

The phrase "clapper within a non-existent bell" is one of my favorites.

I see what you did there.

With so many accidentals, you kind of have to choose between multiple bad options when deciding on a key signature.  Writing it in C#m minor instead, it would have a lot of accidentals too—including, for example, F𝄪 (double sharp) in measures 2, 5, 6, and more.

This sign will be banned in Texas, because too many out-of-state roadgeeks have been arguing online that its verbiage is misleading.

These signs are banned in Oregon, because our nanny-state DOT knows we'll get all scared if our widdle cars go too fast.
