Let π = 5

There are people that think this post is wrong because the equation is wrong or due to a lack of units

The equation for cylindrical volume is correct (circular area multipled by height).

And the units are unimportant (can be described as cubed units)

The issue is that Pi is a constant. Constants and variables are different things.

Other examples of constants: 1, 24, 7, -1 ... Etc.

Saying Pi = 5 is like saying 1 = 5 ... Both Pi and numbers like 1,2,3, etc. have a constant (non-varying) value.

You can't reassign a value on a constant. It's like me sticking up 3 fingers and claiming there are 5 fingers there.

Did california just legalize slavery and servitude?

13th Amendment:

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, -except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted-, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Basically says: "slavery is illegal unless it is used as a punishment for a crime".

California was voting to override the 13th Amendment it seems

This 100%. I liked bash scripting when I was in college. Took some time to actually learn powershell, and it's been amazing. Steep learning curve in the beginning, but it's worth it

Edit: I had also meant to mention the fact that powershell definitely feels a little similar to bash. I mean, not quite the same. Powershell is more object oriented, whereas bash is more text oriented. Powershell for structured data is nice.
