In addition to what @Pons_Aelius replied, it is also used as a benchmark/flex for computers, as to who can build a beefy enough machine or good enough card to calculate more digits of pi.

The answer to your question is as simple as it is unsatisfying. Additional degrees of precision in construction are only as useful as your means to use them.
If you using your saw can only cut to an accuracy of 1/8 of an inch, than any precision beyond that point is lost as you are unable to actualize it
However if you are using a saw and you’re now at the point of your personal skill that you’re measuring to the inside or outside of the mark on a ruler, then it is likely time for you to graduate between more precise form of measurement.

This video covers a lot of the interesting points around measurement and how we can never truly be perfectly accurate with any measurement of any non-discreet metric.
To give a real world example if you are off by a millimeter diameter when building a car engine cylinder it will likely fail.
You could argue that these two are very closely related things.

I’d call it Monday personally
Don’t be so dramatic, the moderators are divinely inspired forming an absolute monarchy.
The only proper political model to implement is a tychacracy where all decisions are governed by pure random chance. Every single post shall have the following.
20% the is removed
20% the post is untouched
20% the post is pinned. If the pin count is limited, pins are organized by first in first out.
20% the user is banned for life with no chance for appeal
20% the user is made a moderator
May the odds be in your favor!

I’m going to go on a different angle on this one and say that we are much tougher on sexual harassment. I feel like a lot of people from the 1950s who have grown up on pulp sci-fi like Flash Gordon could accept a lot of modern technology and the internet as basically just magic. To be fair is how a lot of modern people also accept it. But I don’t think they would be able to process the move towards egalitarianism that we have taken.
That is not to say that modern society is egalitarian only that we have made good strides in achieving that aim.
Edit: Turns out Gordon is from the '70s, but other pulp sci-fi exist so my statement stands.
My thoughts are mostly my implicit bias against machine automation, that giving over one’s thinking to machines will only lead to you being controlled by the person who controls the machine.
I’m interested in kink, not crime.
Are there any spicier instances yet
NSFW content is hidden by default, you need to view it with an account that allows NSFW content to see the porn. There is a lot, both in quantity and variety
Pesto Pasta it is! Alternatively I could go for a nice white or cheese sauce, or if those are all cheating answers well seasoned butter noodles are a good simple dish. 🍝
Nice, thanks to audiobooks I’ve been able to keep up with reading somewhat, but not as much since I was a kid. What is your favorite genre or style of book?
