Hi, [FristName]!
Admin
I think the Twilight Zone landing page is deliberate -- the stars end at the edge of Chris O'Dowd eye, not his temple as in the rest of the image and generally the shifted graphic does not fit fully with the rest of the picture. For instance, there is a slight highlight below the shifted strip, now barely visible, but more pronounced when the strip is shifted back.

Status Code 601: How dare you presume to send us requests, peasant!

Well, there are other status codes used unoffficially, but usually they stick to the 5 types. I suppose the server can use any 3 digit code, but nit sure the HTTP clients would do - I expect them to throw error like in case of 4xx and 5xx error codes.

The temperature has reached Internal Server Error degrees, or so it seems.
Admin
I would normally say that 68 degrees is a bit toasty for a home where humans live.
Oh, wait, those degrees. Never mind, as you were.
Admin
It's 0.947 Radians in the room i'm in right now: Just the right temperature for me.

I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing RFCs.

Regarding status code 601: The computer error "601" occurs because of a system overload while trying to simulate Andromeda's growth and mutation. The error number is a reference to the computer overload error of "1202" (exactly double) which occurred on the LEM during the first lunar descent. (Source: IMDb Trivia for "The Andromeda Strain", 1971) - Too much information coming in too fast.

Thanks you for mentioning his name, because I couldn't think of it and it was annoying me - but not enough to make use of IMDB.

You heard it here first: The heat death of the universe starts at Robert J's house.

Pascal - do we need to do an intervention? Taco Bell, McDonald's, and Wendy's apps giving notifications??
Admin
SIP (which is very similar to HTTP in many ways) has the concept of 6xx Global Failures - but not specifically 601. Is someone using a SIP stack to serve HTTP again? (It has been done)

Do you work in the produce section of a grocery store? Or is it spring time in Alaska?
Admin
What's the big deal? So his thermostat is displaying Rankine temperature. A bit cold for my taste.
Admin
Possibly explains it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/23574960/864696

Rankine scale starts at zero and continues positive. There's no -500 in any standard temperature scale. Absolute Zero is:
−273.15 °C −459.67 °F 0 Rankine 0 Kelvin
Addendum 2019-12-20 12:48: stupid autoformat. Imagine line breaks please.
Admin
You forgot to mention watching "the young and the restless". Worthy of an intervention right there.
Admin
A negative temperature is not impossible (and is actually hotter than hot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_temperature)
By the way, heat is not the same as temperature. Heat is a form of energy and temperature is a physical quantity.
Admin
I thought it was feeling chilly in my apartment, but I guess I don't know what chilly is.
As far as scientists claiming that there can be negative Kelvin or Rankine temperatures... they're scientists, not computer programmers, so it's pretty obvious that they've just experienced floating point overflow and didn't know how to handle it.
Admin
TRWTF is that apparently you were just watching The Young and the Restless
Admin
Looks like that's Snape in the background casting his Sectumsempra.

What the devil? 601? The computer's overloaded--too much data coming in too fast.
