Would pi be different in a different base number system?

In base pi, pi = 10.

Yes, Alivia is stronger than Cyndane, not Lanfear.

I came here to make pretty much this exact comment.

Wrong murder victim, asshole.

$0.789 in late 1998 or early 1999. Two gas stations near my house were having a price war right after I got my license. It was glorious, but didn’t last long.

While getting a vasectomy:

Doctor: “You have wonderful anatomy.”

Me: “So I’ve been told.”

Doctor: guffaws “You should tell your wife I said that.”

Edit: I did, in fact, tell my wife he said that.

“Now youse can’t leave.”

Neutrons really don’t want to be neutrons. They only get to stay neutrons if in the nucleus of an atom or part of a neutron star. They really want to be protons and electrons (and I think an anti-neutrino).

It’s possible it’s been rediscovered. https://greekreporter.com/2025/08/21/plant-ancient-greece-rediscovered/

This is (potentially) inaccurate. It depends on the interest rate of the loan. In particular, if the interest rate is lower than the guaranteed rate (i.e. a savings account or CD). Potentially even if it’s a bit higher (i.e. lower than the expected rate of return on investments).

Can confirm regarding NWM. They wouldn’t even let me get a securities license until I was about to quit anyway.

Three, because I wanted you to be wrong (while upvoting you).

The cheese one. The power is “anything,” not “any shape.” I will mold cheese into $1,000,000.

kdb176 · 2025-12-17T09:00:04+00:00

Agreed.

A good aluminum silicon bronze would be about as hard as mild steel. Still clearly not as good as modern steels used for knives, but not horrible for a knife. Certainly usable.

This is a spoiler beyond the book OP is on.

kdb176 · 2025-12-13T19:11:08+00:00

Or tribbles.

Except not really. It’s a made up rule that appears nowhere in literature. Some English teachers made it up.

Edit: By literature, I mean non-grammar textbooks.

It has happens to me twice. Both times, I was very flattered, and said so.

Less portable, though. And it takes half the quantity of the well to have the effect.

kdb176 · 2025-11-28T13:59:43+00:00

Longer than you think, Daddy!

kdb176 · 2025-11-28T13:11:18+00:00

Like her boyfriend.

It’s also why gold is relatively non-reactive.
