It did have one of the great opening scenes of all time though:

Scene where someone is sitting on a bench outside reading a newspaper where the headline reads "NCC reports critical lesbian shortage: fringe festival in jeopardy", underneath which is a triangle chart labeled "Express lesbian crisis graph".

Reminds me of this.

code comment reading as follows: dear programmer: When I wrote this code, only god and I knew how it worked. Now, only god knows it! Therefore, if you are trying to optimize this routine and it fails (most surely), please increase this counter as a warning for the next person: total_hours_wasted_here = 254

There's fun like this, where there's multiple true answers but you can guess what the answer they wanted is (and thankfully it lines up with the actual answer).

A question from Trivial Pursuit Infinite reading "What is the name of the security protocol for securing communications over computer networks against eavesdropping and tampering", with the answers of "ssl", "wep", "tls", and "ssh".

So my insulin pump controller apparently would mis-dose if I put a decimal first. That's REALLY BAD. Like lethally bad.

What devices are affected?
This affects the Omnipod 5 App from Google Play on your compatible Android smartphone.

What is the issue?
We have received reports from Omnipod 5 smartphone app users where the bolus calculator is not recording the decimal point if it is the first value entered when changing a bolus dose. If the user does not recognize the issue, this may lead to delivery of more insulin than intended, which can lead to severe hypoglycemia.

If you're still having issues after setting it a while ago, go back and re-add it. I think Google changed the interface to the setting, and what it put into the config today through using the active tab box was different than what it showed when I added the site manually.

The interface in Chrome settings to add an active tab to the exceptions to the Memory Saver performance feature. The screenshot shows deck.blue as a current site that can be added to the exceptions.

Something seems like it really broke over on the bird site.
