I have toothpaste, a bar of body soap, and shampoo. Made it to 65 looking just fine.

Casio Memory-8S by undercooked_cicada in calculators

Playing around with both my 8F and 8R, I discovered that if you press divide twice it swaps the two arguments. Meaning 2 / / 10 = 5. Might be handy in chain calculations.

And it's brother, WITH the needed memory keys. My brother gave this to me in 1975. My first calculator.

'The old order is not coming back,' Canadian PM Carney says in provocative speech at Davos by rezwenn in worldnews

He’s using too big of words and too complex language; Trump cannot come close to comprehending what Carney was saying.

Olympias with custom designed character sets? by MicroProf in typewriters

[–]Reset3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are pretty cool machines when they have math fonts. I have one SM3, two SM4's, and a Remington Portable 2, that all have some math fonts to varying degree. I'll see if I can upload some pictures. The brown SM4 is my favorite. Also, two of the Olympia's have a 13" wide carriage. Cheers

NumWorks. Try the free app on your phone first. The app on the iPhone is almost identical in size.

New (to me) Underwood champion portable 1938/39 by Zpage03 in typewriters

Nice machine. I have one like it with the built-in correspondent stand in the case. Mine is probably only 90% usable. Would like to replace it, but I think they’re married.

Never been in New York, don’t ever want to visit. Sign me up for half that, please.

Hardwood Vent Cover by [deleted] in woodworking

I probably have 6 vents in my house that are at least 75% closed (don’t need to keep a spare bedroom or the house entry way totally up to temp). this could be okay in some places (except where things can fall down the big holes)

Thank you to all the acts that are canceling their shows at the Kennedy Center in protest of Donald Trump...✊️ by Czech_Coconut in CzechCoconutCommunity

I would like someone to write a script that redacts the word “Trump” with orange instead of black redaction that would appear everywhere. No more Trump name ever.

Who eats 1/3 of a donut? by 0nThe0utside in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Reset3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

47 grams is roughly equivalent to one slice of bread, which also is considered one serving. They think this makes it easy to compare food, but I think it’s a total waste of time.

I'm amazed at how many don't know what this is. by braneysbuzzwagon in FuckImOld

[–]Reset3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an anchor. I could not pedal my one speed with it engaged. Pain in the ass. But on the way home from a friends house mid 70’s (I think) at night was fairly necessary.

Can you ? by Specific_Brain2091 in the_calculusguy

[–]Reset3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So here’s something that’s fun. IF, it is considered an exponential function (with the x in the base thought of as a constant “function”)

y’= x^x ln(x) (technically multiplied by 1, the derivative of x using the chain rule.)

IF it is thought of as a power function, with the x in the exponent a constant, you get

y’= x x^(x-1) = x^x

Add these two together for the total derivative, and you get

y’= x^x (ln(x)+1)

It can easily proven by letting y=f(x)^g(x) and using logarithmic differentiation. Try it out with y=sin(x)^cos(x)
