Oh! Well this is not a mundane detail, Michael!

Lt. Crowdstrike, NO!
I always head-canon that the transporter pad auto adds .02mm to the Z-Axis of anything that beams in. Just far enough enough that a person won't really feel it, and objects don't rattle or tip from the tiny drop, but not too far so it's not as jarring. Of course a good transport operator can override this, to make an even "smoother" landing. If the tech can reassemble molecules, then why not have an accuracy of microns rather then millimeters? No chance of interphasing matter, if it never overlaps.
The lesser known Venn diagram with no overlapping center.
I mean it's precise enough to assemble your DNA atom by atom, I think it can put your feet directly onto the floor?
Not just your DNA, but the DNA of your micro biome, all your gut flora, everything you ate for lunch, the grease smeared on your face, and any alien infection you managed to bring up from the surface when you didn't wear protection
not my feet they smell
The worst part is the wise Lieutenant of the Hallway knew this was going to happen.
Okay, but like... Even if the decimal point is supposed to be two places over, how often is Starfleet replacing people's shoes after they get embedded in the deck plates by a millimeter? Do the floors of transporter rooms get permanently rubberized after enough use? Does Chief O'Brien have a special floor razor tool to scrape shoes off the pad when they're too deeply embedded to pull out?
I always thought he said Monday detail
They’d guys are developers. Maybe have someone code review your malicious code before you push it to production.

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.
