OT - Happy REAL pi day
I'm planning on going for a 3.14 mile run at 9:26 this morning. Happy to say, this is by far the nerdiest thing I've done as an adult.
As a guy who had a few too many beers after the two and a half hour drive home from East Lansing last night, I will be doing neither.
Sounds like a good time
Well done.
That is astonishing.
I have Pi memorized out to 50 places, but for me to recite it I have clear my mind and just go without thinking too much about it. It's just a number pattern in my head.
But to do this ... wow.

What is the benefit of mesmerizing many digits of pi ? I don't get it.

Once they're mesmerized, you can get away with things you otherwise wouldn't.

is beneficial in winning bar bets (but you have to find the right bar).
Would that be the h- bar?

Proudly so, sir ... proudly so. :-)
that's MY pie!!!
Yeah, my family going to get a pie to eat tonight at 9:26
Fortunately for me, I shall be at a small gathering later which will facilitate my desire to have pie in celebration of Pi Day, so there's definitely that. I was unable to sell the kids on the idea of moving pizza day at the house back to today in order to add to the festivities, so when we get home, I will just have to settle for leftover pizza...or abscond with one of the pies from today.
I was actually already running at the moment 9:26 AM struck, and yes, that was intentional. Trying to find different ways to recognize Pi throughout the day.

Francis Drake wrote about doing shots that day in his memoirs.
as the British Empire did not adopt the Gregorian calendar until 1752, Drake was taking his shots on 3/04/1592 by our standard.

There was a fake Pi day running around?
WTF America. WTF.

Yeah, I was wondering the same. Is there a dispute about when Pi day occurs?
