       @futurebird There's a definitional difference. Python describes the int() function as returning the integer portion and Excel (and I'm guessing the calculator as well) defines it as rounding down to the nearest integer. So -3.8 rounds down to -4, where python returns the integer portion, -3. To be clear, I really don't like the Excel definition.

       @futurebird Our team just got the expansion hub we need, so they're getting the cable management lecture after school tomorrow.

       @futurebird @JeremyMallin On submarines, the crew splits into three eight-hour shifts with a lot fewer people than the Enterprise. The captain doesn't have a watch and there's no particular status to being on one watch or another. The starfleet model exists for the actors, not the characters. We need the main characters on screen together.

       @futurebird @JeremyMallin Looking back, I'm not sure it was all that slow. :P

       @futurebird Polonium. Let folks think I screwed up trying to name him after the old dude in Hamlet.
