This meme does meat pies dirty (unless “mincemeat pie” is one of those horribly deceptive terms like “mince pie”)

A mincemeat pie is another name for a mince pie. So yeah.

Mincemeat is not the same, at least where I’m from… Mincemeat is dried fruit and spices, no meat
- brisk ( @brisk@aussie.zone ) English4•6 months ago
Where I’m from “mince pie” is dried fruit and spices, while “mince” is equivalent to the US ground beef (or less commonly other meats), and a “meat pie” is made from beef mince.
It made for frustrating Christmasses as a child because mini meat pies (“party pies”) are delicious and available at every other celebration.

Thankfully that’s not the case here in NZ. Otherwise the rather popular mince-n-cheese pie would be weird.
Today, ‘mincemeat’ as a term by itself, is unusual. It’s usually either just ‘mince’ (meat) or ‘fruit-mince’ (not meat).

I’m just going off of Wikipedia, idk.

Then I take it back. I have never been as disappointed as the first time I was offered a “mince” pie

Theta minus sin theta? What does that give you
- TheOakTree ( @TheOakTree@beehaw.org ) English2•6 months ago
(1/2)×θ×r^2
is the area of a circle sector, like a slice of pie.
(1/2)×sin(θ)×side1×side2
is the side-angle-side formula for the area of a triangle.
We know that the triangle encompassed by the sector has two sides that are equal to the radius, so we replace side1×side2 with r^2. Since the area of the arc segment is equal to the area of a sector minus the triangle, we can subtract triangle area from sector area to get
(1/2)×(θ-sin(θ))×r^2
which is the area of the arc segment, as shown with pie in the picture.

Is theta in radians? That’s the only way I see this working
- TheOakTree ( @TheOakTree@beehaw.org ) English1•6 months ago
Yeah, it’s in radians. The degree version has a less clean format.

That makes way more sense, I was so confused, cheers
