I had a snob Math Stats prof. you said that an engineer is someone who believes infinity starts at n=30 ( Central Limit Theorem, etc.). Bet he never had to take a 17 credit load or do heavy EE or else.nuuskur said:Fundamental theorem of engineering: ##\pi = e = 3 = 2 ## roughly.

Optical (sensor failure), wireless (batteries), or ball (dirt)? It could as well be the browser, at least I had this error. A restart of the browser did it.WWGD said:Still trying to control my promiscuous PC mouse that latches/clicks onto everything when someone farts in Western China.
I went over the mouse sensitivity, but no change in sight.
A 'hand' or sliding mouse. Thanks a lot, I guess you took a deep breath and my SQL Server opened up and even somehow ran a query.

## | 3.14 - \pi| > | 3.16 - \sqrt10| ##. Not sure of what you mean with the 5.25, unless you mean that ##5^2=25##, which seems to trivialize the issue, since then ##1^2=1 ##, etc.fresh_42 said:It's no better approximation, but anyway, only 5.25 counts.

Ok, my bad. Then I can still tell the lie that my great-great-great-great grandfather ( who was really my great-great-great grandfather, but he was really great) was born on March 14 1592 : 3.141592. And for that matter you than have 1/1, 2/4, 3/9, 4/16 and 3/9/690000 = (6/3/00)^2fresh_42 said:##0.00159265 \approx | 3.14 - \pi| \ngeq | 3.16 - \sqrt{10}| \approx 0.00227766 ##
I meant May, 25th, of course!

...And destroy the meat-eating market, unless they don't sub in and keep the meat. The thing, AFAIK.s that it is essentially impossible to make controlled studies in nutrition. For one, how to make sure participants are sticking to the diet. That is just one of the issues: how to make sure the diet is the main factor affecting the variable in question.fresh_42 said:The beef industry is already working on meat that tastes like tofu to attack the vegetarian market.

Can we agree that areal sausage should be either beef or pig? I ate a sausage with parts of chicken, pork, and might as well have chewed on a piece of rubber; lacking consistency.fresh_42 said:The beef industry is already working on meat that tastes like tofu to attack the vegetarian market.
As a compromise, yes. I would have added donkey for the sake of traditional salamis, but beef and pig is definitely o.k.WWGD said:Can we agree that areal sausage should be either beef or pig?

From Turkey or made of Turkey ( take a piece of dust , import it from Istanbul)? I know some Turkish people are upset because the name of their country is used for some food. Maybe they can counter and name turkeys "US' in their country: I want a US sandwich! Sorry to kid, your English is ##\infty## better than my (10-word) German.fresh_42 said:As a compromise, yes.

They have a lot of sausages from turkey here in the supermarkets, but I always thought that they are especially for the turkeys, which we also have a lot. But strangely enough, I never actually saw a turkey on a farm.
Do not send them over here, since we use the word for something even less pleasant: "etwas türken" = to "turk" something = to fake something. Hmm, fits to the sausages ... but the origin was another:WWGD said:I know some Turkish people are upset because the name of their country is used for some food.
With turkey for turkey by turkeys in US constitution, I think ( For the people...).fresh_42 said:The turkey sausages are made from not in turkey, but I cannot imagine a native buying it, at least not the real natives. Modern women certainly do. For me it is with turkey for turkeys.

If in doubt, add bacon!WWGD said:With turkey for turkey by turkeys in US constitution, I think ( For the people...).
Turkey needs bacon's help to be "Sandwicheable"..
