Ah, that is the answer! 🙏

Indeed, it was the semi-annual compounding and effective interest rate that threw me off.

Also note that if it's just for personal use, you don't have to have a domain for HTTPS. You can self sign, or create your own certificate authority, you just need to clients to trust it. But domains can be cheap or even free, so it's better to get one so you don't have to specially configure your devices.

A guy came from the future, using time travel technology, and the achievement he touts is simply going to the moon?

These two had the misfortune of being in the grey zone between background and supporting characters. It's fine for a show not to focus on the bridge crew (who's at the helm on the Cerritos?) but Detmer and Owosekun got a raw deal because sometimes it seemed like they were gonna have some character development. Like in season 3 that Detmer had this bizarre beef with Stamets out of nowhere, and that was probably the only episode where she got more than a couple of lines.

I'm not surprised that the actresses chose their other projects (they were probably at the bottom of the totem poll of the show in terms of pay).

I probably wouldn't have noticed they were missing, but in episode 3 Michael introduced Rayner to the crew and said "You'll meet Owosekun, Detmer and the rest of the crew in a little bit", and then later Tilly said "I'll send Commander Owosekun in", off screen of course. Lame.

For years now I haven't watched a Discovery episode at less that x1.2, and at the worst parts I speed it up to x2.0.

Discovery got even worse after season 2.

Very nice. I've been daily driving KDE for 20 years and only changed the default wallpaper once or twice.

On behalf of UofT, what an honour /s

It caught me by surprise. When they filmed the short trek some years ago there was a university-wide email about filming going on, but this time nothing.

Both DSC and SNW are filmed in Toronto, and we've seen landmarks from the city before (e.g. Aga Khan Museum, Ontario Place); and of course "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" took place entirely in the city in the 2020s and featured it heavily.

Someone once told me their grandparents in Brazil were part of a community where Latin was spoken as the primary language, but I can't find any information about it online in English.
