AI Thread Summary
The discussion celebrates Pi Day, acknowledging its significance and Albert Einstein's birthday. Participants share links to Pi facts and humorously note the timing of the celebration, with one suggesting that Pi should be celebrated as a specific instant rather than a day. An alternative concept, Radian Day, is introduced, proposing a celebration based on the Earth's orbit relative to the Sun, with specific dates depending on leap years. The conversation blends mathematical appreciation with light-hearted commentary.

Instead of Pi day, it should be Pi instant. It would occur on the 14th of March at 3:23:53 am plus 0.6052271 seconds. It would be widely celebrated by subatomic particles.
Or there could be Radian Day. It's measured relative to the beginning of the New Year. Since then the Earth has travelled a distance in its orbit that is the same as its distance from the Sun. In a leap year Radian Day would be February 29th, otherwise March 1st.

Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff!
Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use?
