This is the calculator that got me through junior high and high school. It even handles fractions, which is what you see on the display there.

355/113 is a very close approximation of PI, accurate to 6 decimal places.

Yes the calculator also has a proper constant for PI, but 355/113 is a pretty nifty trick in it of itself.

355/113 = 3.14159292, at least on this calculator.

Well if the opposite of progress is congress, then what's the opposite of prostate?

Fuck You

We here at Boeing Airlines have realized our continued recent issues and failures, and for that we sincerely apologize to any and all affected passengers and crew members.

We have decided that from this point on, we will now be changing our brand name to Boing as we upgrade all of our airplanes with spring technology. That way if any of our planes fall out of the sky, they'll go boing boing boing...

Please don't take this satirical thought seriously, just take it for what it is, total nonsense.

Couldn't help it LOL, wanted a snack to go with my beer.

Start the new year off right and leave this bad habit behind you, it's disgusting!

Yes, it worked perfectly! The repaired broken line was apparently power to the LED backlight.

I dunno, I needed a snack with my beer haha!

It's known that sneezing is a reflex to prevent dust or nose hairs or whatever from getting down into the lungs, but why do people and animals sometimes get hiccups? What function does that serve, and what causes them?

Also, bonus points for any random useful tips on how to make hiccups go away...

Get a medium to large metal coffee can, or any old metal can I guess. Make sure it's cleaned out and dry to start with, and is not rusty.

Then get some spray cooking oil and a few scraps of bread. Spray the inside of the can with cooking oil, then drop some bread scraps in there.

Now you have a roach trap, set it near where the roaches are generally at their worst, and they'll crawl out of the walls and into the can to get their munch on, but won't be able to crawl back out.

Check it every couple or few days or so, eventually the roaches will start piling up and most of them that have been in there for a bit will end up dying because they're covered in the cooking oil and apparently can't absorb oxygen.

Take the trap as necessary and either dump it in the toilet and flush them away, or if you have access to a bonfire burn pile, bag the little demons up and burn them. Then clean the can out and reset the trap as necessary.

Even with the worst infestations I've ever seen, this tends to eliminate over 99% of them within about two weeks, if not less.

A few thoughts about the different approaches between my trap vs poison...

If you poison them, then they just go back into your walls and die, further stinking the place up, is more dangerous to people and pets, and honestly isn't even nearly as effective as people would hope.

But roaches are simple and stupid. They're really easy to trap, and why the hell would I want them going back into the walls in the first place? Especially when I can just flush them instead?

Change my mind.
