- Comment on I'm Heading to Phoenix Can Anyone Recommend Anything Cool To Check Out While I'm There? 3 months ago:
I visited for a few days once. If you like the outdoors, the parks in the surrounding area are nice. Camelback in the city is packed and not particularly fun.
Overall, I found that Phoenix was not at all a place I’d like to spend time. You might try Sedona just a little north of Phoenix. I haven’t been there, but I hear it’s not Phoenix.
- Comment on The biggest hand calculation in a century! [π Day 2024] 3 months ago:
Although there are measurement techniques that do appropriate pi, that’s done mostly because it’s interesting. Typically one calculate pi. The calculation cant ever be completed but the more you don’t the better your approximation. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_formula_for_π
That sort of stuff is done a lot. However, you don’t need all that many digits before adding more digits doesn’t meaningfully affect calculations. jpl.nasa.gov/…/how-many-decimals-of-pi-do-we-real…

- Comment on Windows Updated and is Pushing More Stuff 10 months ago:
I have used both Windows and Linux extensively, and although Linux used to be a serious amount of nonsense to get stuff to work, it’s not like that any more. I spend similar amounts of time troubleshooting shooting on each. Help for Linux sometimes is better. If you end up on the Microsoft answers forum, good luck to you, because it means the real answer is buried somewhere on the Internet, if it’s there at all.

“It too is not all that much better than Walmart, Amazon, etc, but at least you keep anyone from dominating.”

People here are saying they want to pay Amazon’s competators, and your argument is that they shouldn’t do that because the workers should be starting their own Amazon competators…

eBay is ok for a good portion of what Amazon sells, but it’s not a perfect replacement. It’s not all auctions now. There are lots of things you purchase outright and they ship very quickly. Watch out for people who resell Amazon items at a mark up though. It too is not all that much better than Walmart, Amazon, etc, but at least you keep anyone from dominating.
Otherwise, sometimesnthere are small sellers you can find for niche products.
