Trammell HudsonI can't figure out how to put the coffee beans in my new grinder.
Buying a Curta from a math dealer in a car park outside the train station while wearing "Virtual Light" style heads up display was a very @GreatDismal cyberpunk moment. I should have made a payphone call.
[HANDMAIDEN] xan@th @GreatDismal other people: "OH NO LOOK HE'S GOT A BOMB!"
"oh don't worry it's just a weirdo who's about to grind his own coffee at the stoop"
you: *maths intensify*

julf@th @GreatDismal Wow! What heads up display is that?
Frank Engelhard@th @GreatDismal Looks like the map of Amsterdam
betabug... Sascha Welter@th @GreatDismal Been reading too much Gibson?
smells of bikes@th I would sure like to see the Curta!
cliffle@th more importantly, how many significant figures do you get out of a slide rule that size?
Will Clark@th @GreatDismal Hold up, you have a giant wall mounted slide rule?!?
Florian 'floe' Echtler@th @GreatDismal I absolutely want my own math dealer now.
leyrer@th rotfl. Yes! @GreatDismal
Simon ZerafaDid you recognise any patterns? 😉🤷♂️
webhat@simonzerafa @th @GreatDismal I'm assuming I'm missing the joke, and if not that's a map of the centre of Amsterdam
Sorry, perhaps I was being a little obscure 🙂

Michael Gemar@th That’s odd.
Coles Street Pothole@michaelgemar @th I keep trying to come back with something better than this and I can't.
@ColesStreetPothole @th There *should* be something hilarious here, but I couldn’t find it.

Trevor "Wet Brain" Flowers@th I believe that's for salting a variety of hashes.

@th that's not a grinder, that's a math grenade!

LIΞBΔCH@th I would've thought it was somekind of mechanical navigation calculation device or something, had you not started talking about coffee beans.

:kura_explode:@th first you need to solve vasas alvero conjecture, or else it won't open.
LumiWorx
Human Brain Enthusiast@th those have a very bad performance per watt ratio
Greg Bell
Arthur van der Harg@th It is for counting beans, not grinding them. But you could use it to grind numbers.
JWcph, Radicalized By Decency@th I have that exact mug - but honestly I'd rather have the curta... 😂🤩

Adam Greenfield@th I love that Marimekko mug almost as much as I love the math grenade.
Javier
Julie SqveakarooDo not divide by bean...

Nathan Standing@th
OMG! I haven't seen one of those since the 70s!
We forget how *transformative* pocket calculators were.
David Snyder@th the password is apple
masterzen
Cadbury Moose@th Oh... _very_ nice indeed, and not cheap.
dstuI can't figure out how to put the coffee beans in my new grinder.
Thanks, had to laugh, I use a couple of hand coffee mills, one for Mocca, one for coarser grinds. Both about 50 years old, still work fine and will probably remain functional much longer than me.
Construction, hardwood and steel.
Present Cost, for both would be about 35 maybe 45. Euro
Hand mill because slow cold coffee bean grind provides far better aroma.

Chris Burton@th nice find, yours is looking a lot more food safe than my latest 😄 .

Beanface42@th don’t know as well but DO NOT carry this in your luggage if you travel by plane, you will not reach your destination in time!
