Is double clicking a word to highlight ever going to do something sensible or is this just it?

Watched Martian again over the weekend. Now I'm looking at a legacy fin tech jquery code base and finding that, "I'm going to have to science the shit out of this" vibes are appropriate.

the problem with the whole ‘listen to your body’ thing is that my body is always telling me it’s a great idea to get cozy in bed.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
