Meme of two women fighting while a man smokes from a pipe in the background.
The women fighting are labeled “mathematicians defining pi” and “engineers just using 3 because it’s within tolerance”
The man smoking is labeled “astrophysicists” and the pipe is labeled “pi = 1”
Electrical engineer. Never used 3. Always 3.14. don’t really get the joke.
Electrician over here is killing the buzz
Electrical engineer. I’m nowhere near as useful as an electrician.
I’ve seen some blueprints who use 3.5. I guess it’s close enough but definitely not too small
Strange. If you’re going to use a decimal point, why not the right one?
You are correct, I used the wrong one for my region but according to Swedish Wikipedia (bad source) the US and UK uses a . If that is incorrect I’m happy to be corrected!
LOL. That’s not what I meant. Unfortunately it is what I said.
What I should have said is, if you are going to use a number after a decimal point (or comma in Europe) then why not use the right number. My bad.
A very good question, I think it was in an old DIY wood crafts book for older kids. I’m gonna dig through my book boxes to see if I find it :) Any excuse to go through them!
Edit: I’m autistic so it’s not uncommon to read stuff to literally, so don’t worry
