Heh. Well, she isn't the only one (I didn't know what it was either). What is the context in which it came up? Was it something related to Jared Isaacman? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobayas...

She was quoting a reference by Jonathan McDowell to the Kobayashi Maru.

>Your homework is to watch all the Star Trek movies. I may have to take you up on that. It's wild that the original reference, according to Wikipedia, was in the 1982 "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan". That's 43 years ago, when Jared Isaacman was something like -6 months old (he was born 1983).

Yes, but it was me rather than Jared who brought up the reference, and in 1982 I was already 137 years old.
