Queue China cleans the air, but at what cost articles.

Nit: You probably mean Cue, as in "That's your time to go on stage" not Queue as in "that's your place in line"
You can remember this with the mnemonic that a cue file tells when each track on a CD starts, and a cue ball tells the billiard balls what order to go in the pockets, but a queue is a line of silent letters

glorious, thank you.

I feel like the data structure would be a better mnemonic device on its own. There is no std::cue, there is std::queue.
Shh, don’t let the C++ committee hear you! ;)
And a Q is an omnipotent being/continuum because in the 80’s it actually was cool to have a letter for a name.

Man, something something Data now being reality something something LLMs
TIL. Thanks.
The queue starts with a cue, because it's not your turn until it's your cue.

bone to pick: you missed your opportunity to cool-ly say "not queue as in hair worn in a long plait descending down the back"

Not to mention that a queue is a long braid of hair worn down the back of the neck, long associated with Chinese men.
This thread is a great example of minding your peas and queues. Or maybe cues. It's hard to say which.
Manchu men...
Also China: after getting rid of aerosol, install solar panels under clean air
