Happy Pi day

[SteelRat70]

Yet when you say "could care less", you mean "couldn't care less".

If the value of "care" is at its minimum, then it's not possible for you to care any less.  "Couldn't care less".

 

If you "could care less" then there's a further possibility for your care factor to be lower, which removes the point of the statement in the first place.

 

So don't talk to me about pudding ;)

Also, on topic, don't you also call Pizza a pie?  Pies have lids.  Pizzas don't.

Pumpkin Pie, Sweet Potato Pie, Lemon Cream Pie, Banana Cream Pie, Chocolate pie, Cheese pie do not have lids. They're all custard based pies (straight up custard pie also doesn't have a lid). Apple pie pretty regularly can have a streusel topping in lieu of a lid too. You also find a lot of peach pies without lids. Strawberry pies too. Honestly, I think lidded strawberry pies are rarer than the lidless type.

 

Stuffed Pizzas like Chicago Deep Dish have lids.

Not pies.  They're tarts.

You can't call them tarts because they're topless, it's considered politically incorrect.  The world's changing, this ain't the 15th century any more!

Put in all the definitions you downloaded on the internet you like, a pie is not a tart.  And pies have lids.  Tarts do not.

also 22/7 is not closer to 3.1416 than 3.14.

Biscuits are things that start hard and go soft when they go stale or when you dunk them in tea.  Dipping a scone in a tea is just wrong on SO many levels.

There is also no such thing as "aluminum".

Pineapple on a pizza is also OK.

(was that last one a step too far?  I have a feeling I may have alienated even my fellow brits with that one)

Yes.  Yes they could.

 

Although every day is biscuit day.   Biscuits are nerd fuel.

22/7 - 3.1416 = 0.001257

3.1416 - 3.14 = 0.0016

The closer number should have the smaller difference, right? (This one is honestly baffling to me, because you're not the first person I've heard say that 3.14 is better than 22/7, and every time I check, 22/7 is closer.)

 

A pie may not be a tart, but a tart is clearly a pie. So if tart is a subset, it's fully contained within the superset.

For an aside.

[SteelRat70]

Alright.  It probably comes from the general belief that 22/7 is a poor representation of Pi in general.  If you're going to have a date in the calendar that is supposed to represent it, why would you choose one that is typically seen as not very representative.

 

Sets.  Subsets.  I don't care.  Pie<>tart.  Further a Pie isn't a tart with a lid any more than a tart is a pie without one.  Your definition says that a tart is a pie.  No it isn't.  Pie's have lids.  Tarts don't.

I see absolutely no reason why I should accept your definition of pie when I don't see anyone else requiring a lid. You just seem to think you're right and decide not to research at all.

I'm about to Dutch oven some brownies.

Pastry lid is also common nomenclature for a top crust.

No.  I mean a lid.  If I'd have meant a crust, I'd have said crust.

You're just making it more difficult for yourself.  Don't try so hard.

 

Lid.  The top bit of a pie.  The bit that makes a pie not a tart.

 

See.. s'easy.

You'll be trying to tell me next that the rim of a wheel is the whole wheel, not just the the bit that the tyre gets stuck on to.

Imagine that and how we'd laugh!

I'm just right.  Research is therefore unnecessary.

I know what a pie is.  I don't need to look it up on the internet.

Have a look at what the internet says a woman is and see how far you get with your "research".

See how that works?

You joke, but it is disassociations like this that are ruinous for me.  

 

Is the lid the part of the pie that was browned, or is it the part that is made of dough, or is it the top few layers of whatever molecules are on top?
