1. What movies would you recommend that have come out since Dune as that is the last movie I have been able to care about at all? This isn’t meant to be read as sarcastic, I’m being completely sincere I would like recommendations.

2. I’m not going to lie I just don’t trust non-indie series any more. I can’t trust them to not be arbitrarily cancelled part way through, or to be ruined after one or two seasons. There are too many burnt bridges and broken promises.

Counterpoint there has been a measurable decrease in quality of most forms of media as more and more stuff are soulless cash grabs. It used to be that games shipped completed, now they ship broken cost more and expect you to pump even more money into them on top of that. The last move I saw that I cared about was Dune. Many of the restaurants near me have reduced their quality of ingredients and staff, now when going to the nearby sandwich shop my order is wrong more often than it is correct.

What do we do when the world is measurably becoming worse?

In addition to what @Pons_Aelius replied, it is also used as a benchmark/flex for computers, as to who can build a beefy enough machine or good enough card to calculate more digits of pi.

The answer to your question is as simple as it is unsatisfying. Additional degrees of precision in construction are only as useful as your means to use them.

If you using your saw can only cut to an accuracy of 1/8 of an inch, than any precision beyond that point is lost as you are unable to actualize it

However if you are using a saw and you’re now at the point of your personal skill that you’re measuring to the inside or outside of the mark on a ruler, then it is likely time for you to graduate between more precise form of measurement.

This video covers a lot of the interesting points around measurement and how we can never truly be perfectly accurate with any measurement of any non-discreet metric.

To give a real world example if you are off by a millimeter diameter when building a car engine cylinder it will likely fail.

I’d call it Monday personally

Don’t be so dramatic, the moderators are divinely inspired forming an absolute monarchy.

The only proper political model to implement is a tychacracy where all decisions are governed by pure random chance. Every single post shall have the following.

20% the is removed

20% the post is untouched

20% the post is pinned. If the pin count is limited, pins are organized by first in first out.

20% the user is banned for life with no chance for appeal

20% the user is made a moderator

May the odds be in your favor!

Did anyone else accidently read Kanye?

Pesto Pasta it is! Alternatively I could go for a nice white or cheese sauce, or if those are all cheating answers well seasoned butter noodles are a good simple dish. 🍝

Cultures adapt and shift slowly, but I would love for us to embrace becoming something new instead of trying to recapture what once was.

Can you get in trouble for telling a judge that you do not believe that the court is inherently ethical and that you will only vote on the basis of your personal set of ethics?

See the courts upholding: slavery, the criminalization of certain people marrying, the infringement of other people’s rights, etc… Repeatedly throughout US history.

I think you were being scammed.
