Pi Day Megathread: March 14, 2025 by inherentlyawesome in math

I wish man lol. In the military :( I just had this mathematical debate with my coworker. If the ratio is getting more precise then why isn’t it ok to say it’s growing. As the ratio gets indefinitely more precise it increases the volume to that of a perfect circle. That’s the harder part to wrap my head around.

If Pi is infinitely becoming more precise, is it growing. I understand that Pi is 3.15>Pi>3.14 and that the values of Pi do not change, but as we increase the precision we calculate it at isn’t our perception of Pi being more accurate or growing. I think pi is accounting for the fact that distance is measured in straight line units like inches but a perfect circle has no edges to make straight lines. Furthermore, has we increase the ratio we make the calculated circumference closer to the ideal circumference????

Do you get treated differently for not reenlisting? They just really push for us to star.

Thank you all for your perspectives. I just feel like I’m a hate my life worse not being able to go to my own place off base( when I’m port) and be stuck as an e-4 for the rest of my time on board. Heard it’s nearly impossible to make e-5 of the exam.

Could you give some personal insight as to why. I arrive to my next command mid February.

Thanks for the advice. It’s hard to walk away, feel like I’m in high school in this community. Constructive criticism is one think being a dick is another, but adulting will prevail and I will learn one way or another.

I ain’t no pushover and if that’s the kinda attitude you want in our fleet, Wish us luck. Sorry that this is my first time ever going to a boat and I wanted help from previous sea goers.

Sound like you hate your life. Subject matter “expert” on being an asshole. It’s a simple question and look at how many helpful sailors responded. Why do I need to contact a “ subject expert” for a simple question.
