is it, though?

a stomach can stretch upto 4 litres in capacity when pushed (one source). that’s 4000cm³ (or 244 cubic inches).

to fill that capacity, the volume of a pizza needs to be 4000cm³ or 244 inch³.

take πr²h = 4000 for thin crust pizzas, if we assume the average height of pizza and toppings as 1cm, our equation simplifies to πr² = 4000; which gives the radius of the pizza as around 36 cms – or a diameter of 72 cms (or 28").

if we take a thicker pizza of an average crust thickness of 1", then our equation for square inches simplifies to πr² = 244. which gives us a radius of about 9" or a diameter of 18".

since most pizzas top out at 12"-14" diameter (thin and thick crust volume varying between 700cm³ to 2600cm³), if anything, we’re nowhere near achieving our full potential!

oh, no, no, no! booze and a goose should never go together!

they are very different in my mind. perhaps because i first came across them in their respective contexts through reading.

even when speaking, to me, lose rhymes with booze and loose rhymes with goose.

this has never been a problem for me, personally.

tag and categorize

that’s a whole other angle; one which i avoided altogether.

but i do converse in different contexts on different topics. i do like to recall things in an easier manner. i do like to do all the other things i listed in my OC.

im may have started as a conversational tool, but it’s pervaded every aspect of our lives now to such an extent that “whatsapp me” has become a generecised verb. in that process, as society, we’ve forgotten the benefits of email.

why people have moved from email to im is beyond me.

one gives up topical conversation threads with relevant aubject lines, easier search and retrieval, thread-specific groups and readers, more robust spam-filtration, the lack of necessity of a phone number, more flexible options for cross-platform access, downloadability of your messages, options to host your own server, and so on.

in return, you get perhaps a tad more convenience from an im – even that is debatable, though.

it’s high time we all returned to the friendly envelope instead of the intrusive chat bubble.

edit: another benefit: with email, you can still communicate with people who’ve chosen a different email platform. they don’t have to have the same domain as your email provider.

good erection discipline, though – what with the option to “pop out” being greyed out.

someone should point out to them that a vpn is the technological equivalent of the burqa.

either ban both, or allow both.

while you may be right, one would think that the problem lies in the overestimated peception of the abilities of llms leading to misplaced investor confidence – which in turn leads to a bubble ready to burst.

… bunch of douchebag techbros thinking it’s going to solve all the world’s problems with no side effects…

one doesn’t imagine any of them even remotely thinks a technological panacaea is feasible.

… while they get super rich off it.

because they’re only focusing on this.

oh no, linekar is leaving motd? first wrighty, now him?

i don’t think shearer and micah can pull it off themselves going forward. they’re both good but, let’s face it, neither has the gravitas needed to anchor the show.

i’m not clicking on a reddit link so this assertion may be wrong, but i don’t think the case in the OP has anything to do with trump?

you may be right, but i first heard jimmy carr say it on an episode of qi.

big talk from someone with McSwag in their username!

… gas is a type of fluid.

that goes a long way in explaining some of those farts.

makes sense. after all, the united kingdom + a lot of rain + an affinity for Ecstasy = UK-Rain-E.

but, hey, we have this super-mega toy that can hallucinate an answer to your esoteric questions for that price!

that’s got to be a bargain, yes?

you’re mixing up trump’s eventual misdeeds with the fact that the usa has undergone a massive transformation towards the right under the eight years of obama.

i’m talking about the seeds which were sown, you’re talking about the harvest which followed. these are two separate things.

each of your assertions have flourished under the manure of the obama tenure – even if they didn’t happen during his presidency.

but, sure. live in denial and give him a pass. just don’t moan when history repeats itself. as a non-american, it’s no skin off my back.

enrol there before them, then.

well, one thing i’ll say in his favour: he did kill hitler.
