@evan Yes, but itβs an ongoing exercise in trying to be a person who prioritizes having fun, over being a person who grins their teeth at the MM/DD date format.

@evan Thank you for this poll

@evan Fun story, 3 years back I was runner up to be "Pi" in the big Pi Day celebrations here in Markham. Some local council member used their political leverage to get it for their kid instead and it's put me off celebrating ever since. Sure I still go to the parade and support the pizza and baked good sales, but it just all feels like a sham now. Even the Pi costume and the mini cheesecakes they throw at us just don't have the same heft as they used to. #NotMyPiDay
("celebrate"?)
@jamie this is a good story

@evan Thank you for this poll
@penryu welcome to my oll. Notice there is no "p" in it. Let's keep it that way.

@nizarus reshared, Ty!

@evan Yes, but this year I forgot and I don't really have pie ingredients.

@evan in all seriousness though I demand photographic proof from those who βcelebrateβ. I need to see party hats and blowers, balloons, rented bouncy castles and clowns, etc. I do not subscribe to the idea that ordering a pizza and having some lemon meringue for dessert constitutes βcelebrationβ. Thatβs just a dressed-up Tuesday night in my books.

@evan What I celebrate is any excuse to eat pie
-
@evan Mostly to point out tau > pi
-
@evan No, because in the rest of the world the month comes after the day. I know there is no 31 April, but still, celebrating it on 14/3 would feel weird.
-
@evan Yes, but ... 22/7 is a better approximation, and month-first dates are not common worldwide.
-
@evan I celebrate it 31.4.
No wait.

@jamie people celebrate how they celebrate.

@evan Yes, but the pie should be eaten at 1:59:26. PM, 'cause I ain't getting up that early.

@evan
We write the date as 14.3. so it looks weird to connect it to Ο. -
@evan but we're not like those weirdos celebrating tau day on 6.28

I voted yes because I do celebrate; but I consider March 14 to be Lesser Pi Day. July 22 is Greater Pi Day, since 22/7 approximates pi to three decimal places better than 3.14 does.

In corso c'era solo il pagamento continuativo della nostra istanza che abbiamo sostituito col pagamento diretto da un conto corrente.
Altri pagamenti fatti nel tempo erano solo una-tantum.
Non sentirΓ² la mancanza...

@benvantende prep for Monday! But, thanks for the thought! :-)

@Thayer can he get to Welwyn or is that too far?

@kidpixo @paoloredaelli @informapirata @aitech Arch configurata Γ¨ uno status sociale. Io ho un ambiente desktop che neanche lui sa se usare QT o GTK.
Comunque, alla fine lenovo rispetto a tutti gli altri Γ¨ l'unica che fornisce il manuale per lo smontaggio sul suo sito. E non ho un thinkpad ma un thinkbook.
