I spent like 3 hours of MY TIME tracking down the exact line of code to
try and help you all fix this issue (or tell me it's not an issue) and
you're literally calling me NOT HUMAN. It absolutely IS NOT BS. Look at it
yourself. That's what the line of code does. You say you wrote it , you
should know.
