HobbitFoot, in At which scale (real world day to day life situation) when each extra digit of pi become necessary?

So, in terms of accuracy required, an old structural book I have includes a “functions of numbers” section which has various things including the square, the square root, the log, and the circumference of a circle with that diameter. It shows pi as 3.142. Outside of alignments, I would expect that to be good enough for most civil engineers.

hactar42, in Is a fart a fart before you fart it?

When used as a noun a fart refers to “an expulsion of intestinal gas^1^” or “An emission of wind from the anus; an instance of breaking wind^2^”. So, I would say no it is not because it is defined as leaving the body. While in the body it is flatus which is gas in or from the stomach or intestines.

my gastrointestinal atmosphere is none of your business.

It’s in a superposition of fart and shart until released at which point the wave form collapses into either a gaseous or liquid state.

That’s like asking if you’re wet when you’re underwater.

At that stage, it’s still a farteus.

surewhynotlem, in At which scale (real world day to day life situation) when each extra digit of pi become necessary?

It’s been about 20 years since my engineering degree, but we used to memorize to six decimal places. Anything more than that is never used.

KISSmyOS,

I memorize it to 7 digits cause that’s the phone number of my mom.

That may not have been a wise thing to say on the internet.

KISSmyOS,

Well, in the US it’s an unlisted number cause the area code 159 doesn’t exist in Missouri.
So you’d have to try out all the probable country codes, combined with all of each country’s area codes, to call her.

If you reach her, tell her I love her.

piecat,

Only 999 area codes to try

No, then it’s just referred to as “gas” or “feeling bloated”

Butt magma vs. butt lava.

Deepus,

Only if its wet …

Schrödinger’s fart until proven otherwise

thefartographer,

As a professional Fartographer, I can confirm this is the correct answer. Sometimes you’re feeling confident that you’re hanging out with a fart, but then it comes out to you as poop.

Then you have to tell it, “look, I still appreciate you as something I created, but I can’t support your choice of being poop.” And then you tell it that it has until the weekend to get out of your pants.

4am,

Where do you set up the seismometer? 🤔

lando55,

Near the crack

thefartographer,

Bravo

You can't study it directly without bringing it out into the world and measuring it, but by doing so, it immediately collapses into a fart.

Quality. Thank you for posting.

Pissnpink,

These are mysteries of life that need investigation.

Contemplating this, they achieved enlightenment.

AlataOrange, in At which scale (real world day to day life situation) when each extra digit of pi become necessary?

The answer to your question is as simple as it is unsatisfying. Additional degrees of precision in construction are only as useful as your means to use them.

If you using your saw can only cut to an accuracy of 1/8 of an inch, than any precision beyond that point is lost as you are unable to actualize it

However if you are using a saw and you’re now at the point of your personal skill that you’re measuring to the inside or outside of the mark on a ruler, then it is likely time for you to graduate between more precise form of measurement.

This video covers a lot of the interesting points around measurement and how we can never truly be perfectly accurate with any measurement of any non-discreet metric.

To give a real world example if you are off by a millimeter diameter when building a car engine cylinder it will likely fail.

zepheriths,

IIRC the 15 digit is the size of a hydrogen atom

Like a volcano, when it’s still inside you, it is magma.

Bizarroland,

Maybe it should be called a fubble?

Starglasses,

Hmm. Lava comes from Magma. M is just after L.

Using that logic, a Fart comes from Gagma, which some people truly can eject.

OwlYaYeet,

That’s fitting cause I’m gagging right now

DosDude,

Like a vulcano, it’s either dormant, active or erupting. So dormant is no gas, active is gas, erupting is letting the gas out, ie. farting

CADmonkey, in Why is Steam (Windows PC version) the only program (to my knowledge) that natively snaps to windows displays?

What? I use windows 10 and it does this with whatever window I have open.
