Physics enthusiast first, math amateur second. Squash fan and official third. Wait! I also have pugs and an amazing wife, too. Forget it...
Trying to come up with a way to visualize the calculation of the shaded area outside a chord in a circle. This was the closest I could get. I strongly suspected that what I drew in the triangle was not a straight line. Now I get to parameterize a line!

Here is a surprisingly deep question. How many dimensions to a circle (Euclidean definition)?

An apple pie destroys the cube rule. When a pie comes from the oven, it is a calzone. When a piece is cut for you, it is a taco. When you take your first bite on your fork, it is a sandwich. If you unfold your Brooklyn style pizza, your taco becomes toast. Madness

So, I'm testing out a new technique to head off the awkward "any plans for the night" questions from servers. I ask them first. How do you deal with those questions?

I'm bored of the hotdog sandwich debate. Try this one. Is rice a dish or an ingredient? Is there a recipe for a banana? @carterorieux.bsky.social . Is there a minimum requirement for a recipe?

With the funding to schools like Princeton being cut for questionable reasons, is there a reason than no one has looked into asking the schools to revoke law degrees to lawyers who have been involved in the process that has been hurting the profession?
