How Large Are Pizza Hut Pizzas?[^]
Nice dedicated domain to something we all have been wondering.

They need to branch out and do direct pizza-to-pizza comparisons across different brands.

Bite your tongue. There's no point in buying anything other than Pizza Hut.

If you believe that, you've clearly never had an actual pizza.

I suspect he's being sarcastic.

While some of those numbers may be facts, they are incomplete at best.
In particular, the speed statistic. I believe that would have to be for the olfactory component. The aural component would be at the speed of sound, and be over 1100 f/s at the time of wind breakage and decelerate based on environmental conditions. The olfactory component would also be affected by this, along with variations based on content- in other words speed is a function of diet

Yes, of course and is relative to wind velocity as well.
Of course once my first wife had a major issue and it was summer, so we had the windows down. I puledl up to a stop light and she let loose. Thepeople in the car next to us sniffed, save us a dirty look and ran the red light. She never complained about me breaking wind again!
My german grandmoth, would say if someone broke wind:"Who hath let forth that spicy breeze"!

Well, the olfactory component should obey the laws of difusion, but be superposed on the drift velocity and reaction (EEEw)time.

Can't you just calculate the volume of a pizza of radius z and thickness a to be pi*z*z*a?

No, I haven’t published my page to tell you how much the snow you shoveled weighs.

That's good, we haven't had snow for a couple of years, although I did see some on a trip to Philadfelphia early in March.but I didn't have to shovel it the hotel took care of it.

When did you first learn to code and why? I learned in 2012 and my WHY is to hopefully be successful one day in helping millions.

It turns out it was a Pascal Programming class and for the first 3 weeks the computers weren't ready so we did everything on the whiteboard. I was so lost and confused, I had no clue what we were doing. Nothing made sense at all.
Once the computers were ready and I saw the Pascal compiler and where we were typing in the commands, it all made sense and I've been doing programming ever since.

In the early 80s I just wanted to try something new and via a family member I had an opportunity to try my hand at coding. Over time I learned BASIC (of course), then came writing glossaries for the Wang OIS[^] (you're really old if you remember Wang), Lotus 123 macros and dBase II. Made some money, had some fun, but eventually grew tired of being in an office all day and went back to trucking. Nowadays I just write apps for my own use or the occasional CP article.
Sometimes the true reward for completing a task is not the money, but instead the satisfaction of a job well done. But it's usually the money.

My first lines of codes were written in 1983 or 1984; at that time I had a Texas Instruments TI-99/4A computer, and the language was (extended) BASIC.
Why? Because coding is just awesome

Did you buy the huge 32K Memory Expansion and dabble in assembly language with it? I did.
First 16-bit CPU, baby!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I had indeed the 32K memory expansion, but I did not code in assembly language; not that I did not want to, I remember having searched for books on the subject; but at that time, I did not get any, or at least any I could understand easily. There must have been some good materials on the subject back then, but not in my native language, unfortunately. I was a teenager, and at that time the only English words I could speak were those of the songs I was listening to; something like: "Won't you take me to... Funkytown!". I could sing them, but not understand.

Me too! A pricing war had made them affordable so my brothers and I got one for Christmas in either '82 or '83. My brothers were interested in the games but I realized that there was much more to it than that and soon had it doing my algebra homework, playing music with flashing colors...what fun! Luckily, we had an extra TV for the basement!

I was lucky to have comprehensive parents, who let me monopolize their TV (we only had one at that moment).
Thinking back, they must have wondered if I really was their offspring ^^
