Uh what, that's literally the point lol. The "you won't have a calculator" has been complete and utter bullshit for literally over half a century.

And yet my point stands: if you need to do a lot of calculations at your job, you'd be stupid not to have a calculator in your pocket. And if you don't, then the time it takes to find a calculator will be negligible.

Yes really, if your job requires lots of calculations you'd be stupid not to have one, even back when they were expensive.

Every machinist I know, even the crusty old ones, carry a calculator in their pocket. It's indispensable. Why wouldn't you carry one if you need it all the time?

there is no point in doing it yourself from scratch.

Learning. The point is to learn.

You don't have to learn everything that way, but you understand things a lot better when you've built them from scratch, and that underlying foundation enhances the entire knowledge stack.

It's that bad, and he didn't just give the workers what they wanted immediately? If they're that important, why is it even a debate? If the country depends on them, give them what they want.

So there's an option to support the working class and option to support the rich, and he chose to support the rich, and only came back for workers later.

Why can't we just expect him to do better for the workers in the first place?

Why did such legislation come at the expense of the workers?

It was the company that built every one of these problems. It was the company that was responsible. It's the company that has the resources and power to make changes.

But when Biden stepped in to keep the economy open, he punished the workers instead.

Once flatfish eyes get the lay of the land, they message the brain, which in turn sends signals back to the skin

All this neurological relaying is “a pretty sophisticated thing to do,” Burgess says

Isn't that just the same response to visual stimulus that every animal with eyes does?

Gaslighting is when you hold a match to your butthole and fart.

I understand the difference, I was pointing out the wattage thing doesn't really make sense.

Heating a volume of water a given number of degrees takes the same amount of energy regardless. Using a lower wattage heater is just going to make it take longer, not save any power.

Just do what Leo does and date some random teenage Instagram model.

I doubt those relationships last long or are fulfilling, but I also doubt any celebrity marriage is fulfilling and there's a lot more baggage involved.
