...why would I own a calculator in this day and age?

What I actually do is type in 5/6 and the move the decimal point in my head, but x100 is the shortest way to explain it.

I have a calculator on my phone.

It's quicker to use than Google.

I use Chrome so I can just type whatever I want to know into the URL bar and it'll spit out an answer.  As opposed to unlocking my phone, getting the calculator app out, and entering what I want on the tiny touchpad.

They're both pretty lazy solutions but for me my solution feels lazier.

I find it hilarious that Windows 10 actually butchered their calculator program (along with making it hard to find)...

Just so they can charge people for the normal one.

Huh, come to think of it I gave up trying to find it ages ago and have been using my cell phones.

Are they seriously charging you to use the (good?) calculator? On a glorified calculator with a pretty display?

Windows-r calc still works. :P

It's 5/6. I think.
For anyone on the forum who doesn't know already, type your fraction x 100 into Google and that'll give you a percent.

Or just multiply by a hundred in your head. :P

Just got off the plane from Japan.

TV in Airport station is on CNN showing about how Clinton's Campaign has declared Pepe (yes, the "feels good man/pee pee poo poo" frog) is a "White Nationalist Image".

Seriously considering just flying back.

Now that is proof of poor fact-checking, or yellow journalism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism

I don't watch much American television so I'm not entirely sure if this is common.

I mean, the last time I saw something so ridiculous on television was a Japanese car commercial that used the intro song of an H-game.

Dwarves that mastered the art on quantum entanglement did not master the art of melting ice. WTF?

Quantum entanglement cannot communicate, and therefore cannot be used to operate levers.

I call levers spookier action-at-a-distance, since it's somehow even more spooky than the standard kind.

It's slightly less impossible than artificial gravity, especially the kind that doesn't let you arbitrarily tear holes in the fabric of reality, so there's that.

Forces that approximate artificial gravity are way easier than communication with entanglement (by which I mean infinitely, since centrifugal force exists in reference frames that matter for the conversation and quantum entanglement communication doesn't).
