bikeshedding: Futile expenditure of time and energy in discussion of marginal technical issues.

Not a term I was aware of. Thanks!

    There was a pub in my town called the Bike Shed. I spent many happy hours there in futile discussions of marginal technical issues.

    Alas, they're now gone, I no longer drink alcohol, and the people I bikeshedded with have either died or moved away. I still occasionally shave a yak at work, though. Sometimes doing so is a necessary evil.
