Ridiculous. The Reflecting Pool is about 10x the volume of an Olympic swimming pool. Quick math tells me they need >1000 gallons to have any sort of effect.

They put in… maybe 8 gallons?

For real though:

Decimal representation of pi is 310^0+1*10-1+410^-2

So each digit represents a power of 10. Base pi works the same, kinda. 1 in base pi = 1pi^0, 10 = 1pi, 20 = 2*pi, etc.

This is the best I can do right now, I’m

You uhh… You just did it

Hell yeah, brother. That’s American pi

Haha nerd. I’m no rocket surgeon, 22/7 is good enough for the girls I date

Pi in base pi is 10.

Stop talking to clankers, you weirdo

Na

That’s literally the only digit it couldn’t be, if there was a last digit.

What? No. Laws are never named after what they do, they’re named HR#### or something. Acts are nicknamed, like Obamacare or the PATRIOT act, but they’ve always been political and not descriptive.

And the people who write the laws are not the same people who “approve” them, in theory.

What…

Are we doing bee communist theory now?

If anything, bees are happy to contribute to something greater than the sum of its parts. That’s how hives work.

I’m not a vegan, but I can appreciate the values concerning animal welfare. Extending that to bees is just kinda silly to me. Nobody forces them to stay in the hive. They make more honey than they could ever use.

And if we’re talking about stolen labor value, should farmers be paying for all the animals that work to pollinate their crops? What about the ladybugs that eat aphids? Or the worms that turn waste into compost? Or the spiders, centipedes, wasps, and countless other critters that keep crops free of pests?

This is the dumbest thing I’ve heard all day. Go tell a farmer they only work twice a year

Oh my god. Yeah, that sounded better in my head. Leaving it for posterity but I swear I’m not that guy.

When my dad taught me how to tie a neck tie, he had to do it from behind. He tried it facing me and just could not figure it out.

I think you replied to the wrong comment

Women’s clothing also tends to have fasteners in the back. Corsets, bras, dresses, etc. Not a woman but I have undone my fair share of garments.

Fashion always follows wealth. If rich people have their clothes made a certain way, regardless of function, everyone else will copy the form.

This reminds me of the theory that anyone who thinks being gay is a choice is probably a suppressed bisexual.
