MonkderDritte , to til in TIL there is no original TI-84 as the TI-84 Plus was an upgrade (like iPhone 14 to 13) to the TI-83 Plus

Why did it have no GPS?

Because that would have eaten into their price gouging. In the age of the iPhone, Texas Instruments was able to charge upwards of $100 for a Zilog Z80 powered nothing machine because they’re quasi mandatory for high school and college students.

Aatube OP ,

I bought my TI 36X Pro at $20.

ShepherdPie ,

I paid over $100 for my TI-84 in like 2012 almost 40 years after this basic ass hardware was created.

Gabu ,

My Casio FX82 calculator got me through two degrees and cost me $15

TopRamenBinLaden ,

I figured out you could emulated the TI-84 plus on a smartphone for free, around 2012. I just used that for my college math class, but it probably would’ve been harder to get away with in a high school class.

godfilma , to til in TIL Joseph Stalin was struck by a sport carriage and severely injured at age 12, which a certain source cited by the Simple English Wikipedia took as his father dying in a drunken brawl

If it’s incorrect you have the power to change it.

At the time I made the post, the article on Stalin was protected due to vandalism.

SocialMediaRefugee , to til in TIL that the white stuff that sometimes appears on chocolate is called "chocolate bloom".

I’ve been able to “repair” bloomed chocolate by melting it and mixing it back together

Rhynoplaz , to til in TIL about Swatch Internet Time, a decimal time system that has no time zones.

A lot of magic can happen when scarcity vanishes, or is ephemeralized.

SrTobi , to linux in TIL that operating system Linux is an example of anarcho-communism

Isn’t Linux more like a benevolent dictatorship. At least the kernel development.

BudgieMania , to gaming in Nomic, one of the best concepts of a game I've seen

This sounds like something that would be played on The Genius, I'm all for it

Umbraveil , to youshouldknow in YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective"

Correct, they are Doctors of Chiropractic.

Unfortunately a lot of misinformation exists which has hurt the field.

Oddly, people have no problem shitting all over this profession but yet religiously trust Western medicine and pharmaceuticals… And people still die.

Maybe lead with facts instead of spreading FUD?

gila ,

Fact: The original proponent of chiropractic claimed he learned it from a ghost

From Wikipedia: “There is not sufficient data to establish the safety of chiropractic manipulations.”

TheGreenGolem , to youshouldknow in YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective"

See, you are not a real doctor, Allen!

Borkingheck , to asklemmy in How would you expain the idea of social status to a child?

See your star chart, social status is the same. If you litter you have low social status.

Stovetop , to til in TIL of the Mobile phone throwing competition that originated in Finland

    There’s a section on recycling on the Wikipedia article, but it’s so vaguely written, I can’t make out what it’s trying to say.

    jet OP , to moviesandtv in Duty After School 2023 Discussion

    Early Episode One spoiler discussionWhen they opened the series and said soldiers up to age 24, and high school seniors were being called into active duty… I was intrigued, thought there was some age based reason only young people could effectively fight the Spheres. Like maybe the brain patterns of older adults were too suspectable to mind control, or something. But no… just… Need boots on the ground, so instead of using the military 24-40 and reservists 24-40… we will activate the highshoolers first… I realize this was all plot convenience to get a high school drama in a sci-fi war, but come on…
