So much of anyone's success is attributable to luck that every successful person could be feeling guilty all the time, but they mostly shouldn't waste their valuable time that way. Keep doing good work until, hopefully, things get better.

I liked the original x-men but they weren’t my favorite Marvel heroes. They were a little namby-pamby compared to the new crew. The new group were instantly my favorites. Easily the most striking change in the time I read comics. Loved them all.

So sorry about this Cassandra! They seem to be tearing up everything aimed at improving people’s lives. I hope things will improve someday but suppose we can’t count on it. Kris is also sorry and sends her best wishes.

As computing capabilities increase, the number of digits we'll be able to calculate will also increase.
I think what's so poetic about this:
It's a process that began with the first civilizations and is a thread that weaves through the whole of human history.
It's our story as a species.

Happy #PiDay 2024!
Let's talk about the history of pi (π) and the methods used to approximate it!
We start with the Babylonians (~2000 BCE), who used π = 3 for architectural projects, or in at least one instance, π = 25⁄8 = 3.128, which is within 0.5% of the actual value.
