38 digits of pie gives youv an error of less then a hydrogen atom in the circumference of the known universe.

Good news for her. Cheese cake is a pie not a cake.
- Comment on Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering 1 day ago:
FFT was a DARPA project. It alone probably makes all their funding worth it.
- Comment on is white light "white" because that's what our start emits? 1 week ago:
So white light is when your brain sees a roughly matched signal level on all three color channels. So white would be all of whatever color receptors we evolved for the planet. It’s more of a signal overload than a color.
We actually can’t tell the difference between the mix of primary colors and the actual color. Take Cyan at about 490nm. Looking at it triggers your red, blue, and green receptors in a spefic set of levels your brain reads as Cyan.
However your brain can’t tell the difference between a signal at 490nm and the right combination of 440, 540, and 580 nm. So for example a tv can only show 3 colors but your eyes and brain can’t tell the difference between that and all the natural colors.
We are the most sensitive to green because it’s the wavelength least used by photosynthesis and most plants reflect it. So we evolved to be extra sensitive to it. Camera sensors are usually 50% green, 25% red, 25% blue.
A small number of women have a mutation allowing them to see yellow. So some women can tell the side difference between true yellow and a primary color mix.

Totally. If it wasn’t so fun we wouldn’t be talking about it today.

Galaxina. Low budget space western comedy. Space cowboy wants to have sex with his robot pilot but they have to order the extra parts for her.

What’s your favorite Stewart Raffill movie? Tell me it’s not Mac and Me.
- Comment on The Faculty, any day 2 weeks ago:
Yeah the budget was cut a lot just before shooting started. I think the director and cast said it’s going to bomb so let’s just have fun.

I’m in the minority where Chronicles of Riddick is the only Riddick movie I like. Such a neat universe.

They changed and killed off Black Noir so it’s going to be different.
- Comment on ‘The Boys’ Star Teases an “Extremely Satisfying” Series Finale 3 weeks ago:
They won’t say that but watch some of the cast promoting the final session of The Umbrella Academy. You can tell they knew it was bad.
- Comment on Why does (human) organ trafficking exist? 3 weeks ago:
More people need a transplant than there are donors. A lot of people die waiting for an organ. Some people are willing to skip the wait list and get their organ from non willing donors.
- Comment on Former President Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis: What does a Gleason score of 9 mean? 4 weeks ago:
A 9/10 for aggressiveness and it’s metastasis to the bone. He’s done for.
- Comment on Are there any TV series you gave up on, or just forgot about due to insane gaps between seasons? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah we stated to get some answers in season 3 and they were dumb. I have no faith in the mystery now.
- Comment on Anon is a fighter 5 weeks ago:
Nah I had good friends with me.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
My cousin was raised super religious and sent to religious schools that barely taught anything. When she graduated high school and went to a real college she flamed out hard.
She couldn’t keep her grades up because she hadn’t been educated well. Flunked out and moved in with a tattoo artist living in a trailer. Got pregnant a year later and decided to keep it.
Ended up working at a call center to support the baby and her husband who was over 20 years older. He ended up dying in his 50s so she moved back in with the parents.

- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 1 month ago:
Kings Quest? I played them on pc. They had stuff you needed the manual for but that was it. Did they change it for Nintendo?
- Comment on sus 1 month ago:
Yeah people not dating their partners partners is much more common than everybody dating everybody.
- Comment on sus 1 month ago:
I’ve seen some bad poly breakups. Once where the three all had a falling out. They jointly ownend the house they lived in together. Three were a few months where they all would just stay in their room as much as possible.
One of them finally managed to get a loan to buy my friend out of her share. Now she refuses to be dependent on a partner for housing.

Yeah my fluid bonded girlfriend had a condom break with her other boyfriend. So she just told me and we switched to condoms until she could get retested. No big deal.
If we hadn’t been poly it would either have been a I cheated on you conversation or worse she exposed my to possible STD without my consent.
- Comment on sus 1 month ago:
Yeah. My polycule is small but my friend is in a big multinational one. They have a google doc spreadsheet with STD results and sexual relationship tracking (fluid bonded, barriers, etc).
- Comment on What's an example of a TV show that came out at before its time, or just at a bad time? 1 month ago:
IIRC It was Doctor Who using the set that started the fire.
- Comment on Neutronium would like a word. 1 month ago:
That and the neutrons would rapidly undergo beta decay producing a LOT of free energy and other particles.

- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 1 month ago:
Gimp doesn’t have UI standards. That’s part of the problem.
- Comment on What's the worst example of a TV series or character within that series being flanderised as the seasons went on? 1 month ago:
In a similar vein Neolution / Dyad in Orphan Black. It started as a shady transhumanist group willing to break legal and ethical boundaries to control human evolution.
The clones seemed like just one of their experiments and not a major one. But because the clones are the focus of the show they become the core mission of Dyad.

There’s no one like you in my ass.
- Comment on What’s your favorite “flop” of all time? 2 months ago:
I don’t have a favorite but a few I liked a lot.
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension: great fun crazy cast.
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant. Such a strange world. I would have loved to see sequels.
Pandorum: Clever scifi horror. Unique situation and setting.
Rustlers Rhapsody: The main character is a genre savvy singing cowboy from 1940s westerns transported to a 1980s western. The bad guys have to team up with some spaghetti western villains.
