That was my first thought. I know that East got a complete renovation but damn! Pizza shops inside an actual dorm?!?!

They had a pizza shop in West Halls in the mid 80's - right inside the doors off Burrowes across from Rec Hall. It wasn't bad pizza either. They also had subs.

lol, I was going to say something about this last night and didn’t.

No, standard pizza slices are not triangles in Euclidian geometry. You will notice that in ordinary three-sided pizza slices the sum of the angles of the pizza slices is greater than 180 degrees. The great challenge of geometry up until 1830 or so was to try to prove the Euclidean Parallel Postulate by using the other axioms of Euclidean Geometry. (Euclidean Parallel Postulate: if you have a line L and a point P not on said line L there is exactly one line through the point P which is parallel to L.) The Russian Lobachevsky and the Hungarian Bolyai independently came up with geometries where the Euclidean Parallel Postulate was false but the other Euclidean axioms was true. Hilbert formalized it all in 1899. Fascinating stuff, it was my favorite class to teach. The enthralling thing about mathematics is the creativity and it’s easy to show this in non-Euclidean geometry compared with other subjects.

Perhaps you can wizard me this. Trader Joe’s sells a frozen 30oz cheesecake, which like most cheesecakes is round. However, they claim it is seven servings. How does one go about cutting a round into seven equal portions using only normal kitchen utensils?

That's easy, first you cut it in 8 pieces, then you eat one.
Voila, 7 equal pieces.

This thread needs to be taken down. That girl is a minor for Pete's sake.

She’s an Instagram influencer, she makes money from clicks. This isn’t some random “hot young woman in a pizza parlor.”

Plus Mt Nittany and I share info on food, bars, etc down here since we live near each other ... I had never heard of this place and now its on my short list of place to try... I am up in Stuart on business often so when I there next time I will support her.

She slices a round pie the wrong way. Does she think she is from Columbus, Ohio? I always hated when they cut the pizza that way when I lived there. And they would still do it even when we specifically asked them not to do it that way.

That crazy cut is also common in the Dayton area with the pizza chains: Donato's, Casano's, and Marian's Piazza. Fortunately we have two family owned real NY style pizza shops (Flying Pizza) in the Dayton burbs. They also sell by the slice.

I was Snyder in 96/97 but my brother was Stuart before that. Fun fact my dad was Snyder and my mom was Stone...

I think she's 23. She knows exactly what she is doing, and as I said in the OP, I hope she's profiting handsomely from it (though knowing youtube, probably not as much as she should).

What's Pete have to do with this anyway?

Lione’s in East Halls was pretty good. Pizza, subs, plus a huge chocolate chip cookie dipped in chocolate on a stick.

Dang, I hadn’t thought of Lione’s in forever!

Wasn’t there one in Pollock Commons, and then the one in East halls was called Lione’s East (natch)

I think I may only have ever been to the one in Pollock, if I’m remembering things correctly

You can describe any (round, square, whatevs, just no holes in the middle, ie, simply connected) pizza as being homeomorphic to the unit disc. So if you pick any two points A and B on the boundary of the pizza and cut two segments from these points to a point C in the interior of the pizza, then you’ve got a slice of pizza homeomorphic to the standard slice of pizza you see on the commercials. So, “shape” really doesn’t count here, they all boil down to being homeomorphic. The sausage is what’s important, not the shape.

The great thing about this is when you go on and on and on and on about this in the pizza parlor until your wife throws down her napkin and storms out you get to have the entire pizza for yourself.

I’m trying to figure out, in today’s world, whether “homeomorphic” is a term you’d hear bandied about by the Left or the Right ;)
