You ever have one of those moments when you just put 2 and 2 together, and also that you should have had that realization many years ago?

I just realized what NaN stands for...

This must be what people who get told "you can just wait for the shower water to warm up before hopping in" feel like.

Not so much the realizing what NaN means; that's more relevant to that XKCD which I probably don't need to describe here.
