oh are calcs tools. I'm an hp calc guy, used to have a 48sx and a gx but the gx screen got smashed and I hosed up both of them trying to swap screens because they're really not made to be fixed easily. the screens are held in by these twist tabs and use those conductive rubber strips, and if you break a twist tab (you will break a twist tab) it is impossible to fix. anyway i got a 32sii recently and it's great. fantastic key-feel.

hp32 is the best calculator imo like the 48s were amazing but at that point come on, just drag out your laptop.

nah the 48SX is still amazing for just pulling out and running some numbers, even complicated ones—enough so that I bought one for my wife also gets such good battery life that the last set of batteries in my 48SX started to leak even though it’s been operating fine I actually find models like the 16C and 32S difficult to use because I’m just so used to seeing rather than remembering the stack and using that for cues as to what operation is next that said the 16C is really goddamn awesome and so is the SwissMicros 42S

i guess im just dumb babby, bc i cannot into rpn the TI systems (89 etc) where you can just type in exactly what you want it to evaluate, parens and all, and it'll do the right thing are more my speed

RPN is the calculator equivalent of a Dvorak keyboard ...nobody actually believes its better, they just use it because they think it makes them interesting

someone mentioned speedcrunch here a couple years ago, so that’s been my pc-based thing since then for stuff that’s not well suited to excel

qirex posted:one of my first jobs was at an investment bank and all the partners had hp48s on their desks but everyone under 40 just used excel what do you mean four level stack limit? you can use a hundred sixty kilobytes if you get a RAM card! you’re just limited to viewing a 4-line window… also sharing is why the HP48 has an RS-232 port and Kermit built-in the DOS “Program Development Link” package even includes an IDE for developing HP48 software interactively from the PC and stuff like that

 this is my tool most people can see 3 things. most people can’t see 5 things. they have to count 5 things I’ve trained my brain to be able to see 5 things. I count in 5s up to whatever. but I can see 5 things and I bet most of you can’t

phone numbers used to be “klondike 5 3762 because memorizing 6-7 digits would be impossible. then everyone did memorize a ton of 7 digit numbers, and now you are lucky if someone knows their own phone number.

I know mine and for some reason a girl I had a crush on when I was 6 I still remember hers

Sagebrush posted:phone numbers you remember is not tool talk. please keep it on topic ya. for example, I love my #7 Stanley jointer. it’s from 1899 and is a rare subtype that has grooves in the bed. they were supposed to help it have less friction but never caught on. I got it from a guy who restores planers and at the time was hoping that meant I didn’t need to learn sharpening. well, that didn’t last and I have a set of 4 diamond plates and a knockoff rolling set angle holder. it’s so heavy and solid and I love it as much as my cats
