@nizarus reshared, Ty!

@evan Yes, but this year I forgot and I don't really have pie ingredients.
-
@jamie this is a good story
@evan in all seriousness though I demand photographic proof from those who “celebrate”. 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 “celebration”. That’s 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 π. -
@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.

@kdawson I agree!
-
@evan Yes, when the Fediverse points it out.
I’m bad with calendar dates 😆
-
@evan No, but I do recognise it as tau/2 day.

@jimfl I mean, who wouldn't?

@SnoopJ what?

@quinta purtroppo sono rimasto fermo al duello Arnoux-Villeneuve a Digione 1979. Poi mi sono rotto le scatole.

@stanton these look pretty great on Mastodon btw.

Making tourtière for #PiDay. The eggs aren't traditional, but my son and I read about it in "Danny, Champion of the World" and we've done it in our meat pies ever since. Really good!

During my angsty teenage years, LiveJournal was where it was at. I remember writing in it daily, and even though I came from a small town, I had an audience who interacted with my journal. It felt real and vulnerable.
Why did we stop using it? Facebook came out, and all of a sudden, the world lived through status messages. AIM → LiveJournal → Myspace → Facebook → YouTube → TikTok. We went from instant connection and long-form thought to building spaces that felt like our own, only to abandon them in favor of performing for the world. Somewhere along the way, we traded vulnerability for likes.
I miss the community.
That said, I've been blown away by the people I've been meeting here on Inkwell. It's been a pleasure getting to know everyone, and I hope to continue meeting many more. I also hope others find one another through here and make meaningful connections. The one thing I've noticed so far is that I'm meeting people all over the world. Right now, that feels important.
Who else used LiveJournal? And who joined for the appeal of long-form writing?

@quinta però succede solo nei primi giri e per le primissime posizioni, poi sembra che la difesa cominci a essere efficace
Ho l'impressione che sia soprattutto dovuto al fatto che con così pochi test nessuno sa ancora come fare con questo formato (sia i piloti che i progettisti che i box)
Certo che una batteria che passa da 100 a 0 in meno di venti secondi non sembra un' idea favolosa (anche peggio il fatto di non poterla usare a bassa velocità)
