🤓 #nerdstuff #rpn #calculator alert:

Who else here uses the old reverse polish notation (#rpn) calculators of HP? One of the best is the HP42S - quite expensive on the second hand market. A free alternative is the Free42 app of Thomas Okken: https://thomasokken.com/free42/

SwissMicros has built an actual calculator, DM42, based on the Free42 software https://www.swissmicros.com/product/dm42

Edward Shore has a nice calculator blog, on which he posted a fibonacci program of mine for the Free42 / DM42 , in two versions. https://edspi31415.blogspot.com/2022/09/dm42-recursive-fibonacci-by-marko.html

I did it. I turned on the heated toilet seat.
I held out as long as I could.

I am reminded of this Hunter Thompson quote:

“He has poisoned our water forever. He will be remembered as a classic case of a smart man shitting in his own nest. But he also shit in our nests, and that was the crime that history will burn on his memory like a brand.”

so obviously i'm sad twitter died, mainly because i got a lot of my indexing jobs that way, so if you need to have a book indexed, hire me! (please reblog this academics)

Timeline cleanser. My kids made a new friend. Meet Larry the Squirrel. Every morning he comes and knocks on our back door eagerly waiting for food. My kids feed him and he scurries off. 😅

When faced with a large problem that feels overwhelming, break it down and focus on the single best next step you can take.

Set realistic goals, take one incremental step at a time and you'll get there.

@Mrfunkedude Taking my little puppy for a walk and enjoying how happy his way of walking is. Just utter joy and curiosity about the world.

they put a christmas sweater on the t-rex at the national history museum in london and it's ridiculous and adorable

I’m new to Mastodon so here’s a little about me:

Trying to remember how Mastodon works. Glad it’s here, though.

In advance of the Musking mandates…a first, er, toot on Mastodon.

Got in! Took all day.

One nice thing is that it’s Saturday and these are pictures of my dogs. #dogsofmastadon
