The article ~~you keep linking~~ disagrees.

Although having given its name to the word henge, Stonehenge is atypical in that the ditch is outside the main earthwork bank.

An atypical example of something is still a "true" example of the thing, especially given that the very term derives its origin from Stonehenge itself.

Edit: Oops, mistook 2 basic pedants regurgitating trivia as the same person.

Obviously, it was a skill learned in early grade school and subsequently forgotten through lack of practice. You know, as stated in the article and multiple comments here.

That's a subtly and nuance that will be lost on A LOT of people. Clearly it's a distinction that OP's roommate is not ready to confront, which probably tells us something about the attitudes of his family as well. But, in the end, it's rarely so simple as chucking someone into a bin for convenient stereotyping based on one person's story about another person's feelings.

Rocky Horror Picture Show: Channing Tatum or John Cena or something to play Rocky, everyone else is a Muppet. Because no human alive could ever replace Tim Curry, but we could maybe use all of Tim Curry's original work to voice a Muppet.

It wouldn't be reddit 2.0 without complaints like this about popular social concerns being popular on social media.

Being able to fold down a larger "sheet" display so that it fit in a pocket would be pretty cool. Having extra room for reading things like maps and comic books is so much better than pinching and zooming on a pocket sized display. What you call limited purpose, I call functional design. I'm kind of over all-in-one devices. They've turned into Jack of all trades, but master of none.

Obviously that's not what this device is, but it got me thinking about why I'd want a device with multiple e-ink displays or a foldable display.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

You're looking for proofs that Pi is constant.

Here are some explanations (without in depth review on my part):

It's okay, you don't need to beat the poor lame joke to death just because YOU didn't get it. It's okay to just let it go.
