No, he’s there, in the middle floating above everyone else.

I’ve got a variable-speed hammer drill. Gonna try sending one to the ISS.

No idea, I didn’t mean directly for The Crew, just getting DRM-free games. Anything that depends on a server is obviously still subject to the company’s whims, but at least I won’t get my account deleted and lose my library of games.

The thing is, with a lot of constants like pi, any measurements are attempting to capture a “pure” infinitely-precise value. And doing calculations in a purely abstract context can get a lot closer to that mythical value than measuring with even our most precise tooling. A constant like pi isn’t a physical reference (like a gram or a meter). Rather, the physical thing approximates some abstract “perfect” value.

Think of it like this: we want to find the value of 1 + 1. So we create cubes that are 1 cm on each side, then we put two of them together and measure them. The measurement will not be exactly 2, it’ll have some error (maybe 1.999896cm, or 2.010102cm). But instead of using physical measures, we can create imaginary cubes that are exactly, perfectly 1cm and two together is exactly 2cm.

So we can do the same thing with special constants like pi, e, and lots of others, and we can get much greater accuracy than by measuring real-world objects.

It’s been measured and approximated a lot of times.

To answer your question: it can be calculated/approximated mathematically, rather than by strictly measuring it.

My theory is that people naturally want things they can’t have. For the wealthiest people, there aren’t many things that are elusive. Epstein provided a venue to access something that wasn’t easy to get, something exclusive.

The other thing is how huge amounts of money affect a person’s mind. In order to justify hoarding that much wealth, you have to ignore the humanity of other people. And if other people (especially those without wealth) don’t mean anything, it’s easy enough to justify the abhorrent things they’ve done to them.

Wealth hoarding is bad for everyone, including the hoarders.
