Another "obsolete" "calculator" arrived today: Smoley's Four Combined Tables for Engineers, Architects, and Students. The book combines four different books into one large volume: Smoley's Parallel Tables of Logarithms and Squares, Smoley's Parallel Tables of Slopes and Rises, Smoley's Logarithmic Trigonometric Tables, and Smoley's Segmental Functions. Originally created by C.K. Smoley, and extended by E.R. Smoley and N.G. Smoley. This copy is from 1968.

By adding or subtracting their logarithms, you can easily multiply or divide numbers. This book also features trigonometric functions, squares and square roots, cubes and cube roots, reciprocals, and a lot more. It's mostly geared towards architects and engineers; scientists and mathematicians will probably want something with higher precision.

Rude.

Path evolved to take on this challenge and it still didn't matter. Outclassed, outsized, outgunned, the water type still falls before Lone. Sometimes, you just can't win and all you should do is give up and offer up your little fertile womb to the big bad predator (hint hint).

Not shown this off yet but been working on a new version of my fursuit head & paws drying unit!

This one uses a 12v fan, comes with a USB voltage transformer and can be used with 12v DC power!

Showed these on my table at Furrific, likely to have a few pre made ones for sale!

Slide rules are great for multiplication, division, powers, roots, and other advanced forms of math, but what about basic addition and subtraction? Slide rules really suck at that. I have one slide rule that can do addition and subtraction, a Jeppesen CR-3, and it's limited to totals between 0 and 360.

That's where a device like the Addiator comes in. To do addition, place the stylus in the hole for each number and drag it towards number window. If the hole is red, you instead drag it away from the window and around the bend, which automatically carries in the next column. Subtraction is done using the lower set of numbers, always moving towards the window unless the hole is red, in which case you move away and around the bend to borrow. To clear the machine, pull the handle at the top all the way up, then push it back in.

The Addiator can handle positive totals up to 9,999.99 (or 999,999). They did make a version that could do negative totals, but they're uncommon.

This wolfy could use some hugs and cuddles. She feels not well and she doesn’t like it.

Well. I finally got sound working today, but it's largely on my left. Getting a late start, but I should probably be able to beat Gato Roboto today before I go to try and get working headphones tonight. Feel free to chill with me over here: https://twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

Did you know over 70% use vision correction? It's the highest amount of impairment. Even though we've normalized wearing glasses, what happens when your prescription changes? Glasses break? Don't have the money? And why did it take tech so long to even recognize that for usability?

I'm still looking for an #accessibility #UX job - US fulltime remote preferred. Accessibility specialist for the last 10 years in web, app, AND docs. Prev exp in iOS #localization as well.

I spent about an hour wandering around one of the larger anti-que stores around here and didn't see even a single slide rule.

When I asked, they said, "What's a slide rule?" :blobfoxdisapprove:
