     @normandy If any of the kids are wondering what the heck this is (hey I'm 40 in a few months and I never used one, but dad has one), check out HPR episode 2166 to learn everything you need to know.

     @normandy @perloid When dad learned engineering back in the 50s, they had German literature (he likes to call English "Neudeutsch" as it has replaced German as the engineering Latin of the day) and they used slide rules.
