Warp Speed Comparison
I'm just barely geeky enough to find this interesting, but here goes. The first reason is that logarithmic scales show up in science all the time, and are frequently misunderstood by layman and media, they just aren't at all intuitive.
The second is that those shows were written over decades by smart science-literate people who put in all of these careful details that totally flew over my head, it's fun to look back and see it was deeper than I knew at the time.
When Sci-fi is written with a good understanding of science and physics, it makes the fantastic parts seem more plausible because the rest checks out. The alternative way to do Sci-fi is to just say "Screw it, it's all magic!". Which works for Star Wars but isn't compelling in the same way.
What's so intriguing about made up numbers though?
Facing the final boss after doing every single side-quest
<knowingly geeky response to comedy bit>
It's actually a really interesting game design question.
There are basically two approaches here: enemies are either fixed level or scale with the player.
Fixed level enemies mean it's possible to remove all challenge from a particular encounter by being waaaay OP for it. Scaling the enemy stats fix that issue, but you then miss out on the fun of going back through an area and roflstomping previously challenging foes.
Mark Brown of Writing on Games did a great video on this recently in relation to the design of Dark Souls

Why these LEDs glow at all?

With no explanation, there's no education or learning to be had, certainly no electronica, it has not been debunked, it's not magic, and it's probably not geeky.
A simple explanation that the electrodes interact with the acid to create a small electrical charge would have made a few of those tags proper, but this was more like "magnets....how do they work?" level education.
"Theory of Everything" (a rather cheeky explanation)

Silicon Valley S1E1/Pilot Full Episode (TVMA) (HBO)
Thank you for posting it. I just read about it in a week old paper and quite honestly was going to look it up after I sifted through what was sifted and low and behold here it is. You saved me work, I also thoroughly enjoyed the show, no laugh track like that other sciency big bang, I hate laugh track but like the story of the show so I keep up with it, this is my new favourite geeky show.
Getting my dog out of bed in the morning with raccoon sounds
Sounds like your life is like playing "Dayz" or "7 days to die"... Perhaps without the zombie Apocalypse scenery...
