is Mr. Pig on Vacation?
I found out my old engineering calculator from 1982 is still worth a very very lot, more than I paid for it.
It still works.
I think it needs new batteries because a tiny icon blinks on it when I use it, but it does calculations. I haven't really used it in years. It does reverse polish.
should I sell it or keep it?
HP-15C
with reverse Polish notation.
my memory of the TI calculators was using it on tests and getting wrong answers. I think it didn't allow for a backspace, and also it would double punch the digits.
I did a quick search on circuit bending.
I used 555 timers and made some wild synth sounds back in the day.
I'd much rather use an actual synthosizer to do that than some toy that isn't specificically designed for it.
I can get some very good effects my using the effects in a recording tool called 'Audacity', which is open source. I haven't done it in a long time.
back in the 1940s?
you'll need a time machine.
or do you mean that jerk who banned everyone here until Jim figured it out and banned him?
made you look
a person with no concept about how to communicate effectively without seeming like a ninny control freak, and uses alided fake-words that only he knows, should go back to school and learn how to communicate.
Discuss it with the voices in your head.
who knows
why do you have him drawing that?
is something wrong with you?
why do you make him sex obsessed?
if you were an engineering student in the 1980s you avoided the TI calculators like a plague.
Everyone had the HP one, specifically the 15-C
the 15-C was more compact.
I never used a 41-c.
I'm sure it was awesome. I was probably priced out of it, though, as I was on a budget.
are you one of those who thinks any legitimate criticism of the psychopathic Israeli regime is 'hate'?
Israeli strike hits Gaza church, killing 3 and wounding priest who was close to Pope Francis
Updated 8:24 PM EDT, July 17, 2025
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — An Israeli shell slammed into the compound of the only Catholic church in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, killing three people and wounding 10 others, including the parish priest, according to church officials. The late Pope Francis, who died in April, had regularly spoken to the priest about the war’s toll on civilians.
The shelling of the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza also damaged the church compound, where hundreds of Palestinians have been sheltering from the 21-month Israel-Hamas war. Israel expressed regret over what it described as an accident and said it was investigating.
Pope Leo XIV on Thursday renewed his call for an immediate ceasefire in response to the attack.

I don't know if I can hang in with the Hannity show. It's all stuff we knew 8 years ago.
