<p>> It is also possible to perform different computations on each calculator. This function comes in handy when the user wants to compare prices to determine which store product is cheaper by the gram, for example.<p>This adds another use-case outside of the M functions on a standard calc :)</p>

<p>I’ve been here for quite a while, and I’ve learned more from this community (which included developers across the planet) than I’ve learned from any other community online.<p>I’ve known PG’s biases and dogwhistles for a while ("What you can’t say" is a FOGHORN of a dogwhistle), but the political landscape has changed.<p>When PG is expressing open regret for opening this forum, despite <i>dang</i> doing most of the work, he’s signaling that the discussion of this forum isn’t going in the direction he wants.  This has been the most civil forum on the surface web for a long time.  And that says a lot.</p>

<p>This actually illustrates an interesting point about think tanks.<p>Amren may have never done a lynching, but the shadowy nature of how think tanks can launder money may implicate an associated group in modern-day lynchings covered up by the police[0].<p>The Koches, one of the largest financiers of right wing groups was built oil refineries for both Stalin and Hitler(the reich’s second largest refinery).  They scrubbed the latter from their corporate history and were never tried at Nuremberg.<p>As it stands today, an average high school girl attending a BLM protest from twitter is likely surveilled far more heavily than Taylor or Anglin from the revelations in new surveillance articles.  And that’s terrifying.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/06/22/black-victims-hanging-suicide/" rel="nofollow">https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/06/22/black-vict...</a></p>
