HP bucket

"Characters in D&D are such HP buckets! Play a real RPG that has a proper wound system!"

alligator in the cargo bay

A task that was taken on and solved out of a desire to take initiative at work. This is a reference to an episode of The Orville in which Captain Ed Mercer asks Bortus what he has been working on, and Bortus replies that there is an alligator in the cargo bay, but he has crushed it with a chair.

Did I fix the SQL injection vulnerability? Of course, it's an alligator in the cargo bay!

'Oumuamua

An interstellar object detected entering the solar system. No one knows for sure what it is - asteroid? comet? derelict alien spaceship? The name is Hawaiian for "scout", since it's the first interstellar object ever detected

I wonder if 'Oumuamua is an alien spaceship? Or is it just a comet?
