There are many posts preaching for the choir, but I wouldn't call it an echo chamber. It's more like a dead sound chamber where the ideas dies in agreement. It doesn't bounce off the walls or resonate. It's already there so no answer is required.
Lemmy would benefit from more users playing the devil's lawyer, but I think it's too small for anyone to use their main profile for that, and alt-accounts would quickly get blocked or banned.
Actual users with opposing views wouldn't be of much help. Politics isn't very nuanced these days. It's not red or blue, left or right or whatever. It's polarized into a new duality: Those that give a shit and those who are proud idiots. Lemmy is on the good side of this and will not benefit from being more accepting of idiots.
People on Greenland eat seals for breakfast.
It's supposedly used for gross profit margin calculations, which is an equation for business stuff rather than an ordinary math function. It adds a profit of a margin calculated from the gross price. The gross price is unknown, so you'd input the net price and the desired margin of the result.
Ordinary percentages would be used for "net margin": net price + percentage of net price = gross price. This can be done by simple multiplication, such as: 100 x 1.2 = 120
This does "gross margin": net price + percentage of gross price = gross price. This would require solving an equation in several steps to do: 100 / ( 1 - 0.20) = 125
It might seem like a rather random function to add to a calculator, but it has to be seen in the context of being prior to computer spread sheets, where accountants would make price lists of hundreds of products manually, so a short cut like this could save a lot of time.
Hmm. I guess different brands do this stuff differently. In real life I'd definitely prefer to break the equation into separate operations, just to ensure that I understand and can document the process.
It think you should try:
100 > + > MU > 20 > % > +=
It should show 125.
According to that site, it also has an item counter. Normally this also on the print, but without a printer I guess it needs a button for that. Perhaps the IC button?
Remember that on desktop calculators the operations are entered reverse of ordinary pocket calculators. First you press the number and then you press the operation. So to do 100 - 50 you need to press "100 + 50 -"
Same for the MU. First you need a number to be added. Then MU some number as percentage and +=.
Most of the other buttons appears to be for the internal carrier (aka memory). Lets say that the main display is one column in Excel. The memory is then a second column, where you can pull or push the displayed result in a variety of ways. This allows you to do some calculation, throw the result into memory, clear he entry and do another calculation and add that to the previously stored result and such. The slider labeled with the sum sign is a grand total. It'll cause all your results to be summarized. I'm not sure how to display it. Maybe it's only shown on the print.
The MU button doesn't "do" anything by itself. You'll need to press 100. Press MU. press 20. Press %. Or maybe the sequence is different. It would be nice with a manual.
I see a lot of wrong info on the the decimal slider. This is how it works:
A is for "Add-mode". This means that 2 decimals are always assumed. It's used for adding a lot of 2 decimal numbers, because you'll never have to press the decimal key. If you've ever worked a credit card terminal and having to enter 200 to get 2.00$, that's how this setting works.
0-6 are fixed and rounded according to the rounding setting.
The decimal F is for floating. It'll use the most relevant amount of decimals.
Another funny button is MU which is Mark Up. It's used with the percentage button. It's a backward ass way to do percentages. You'll enter a value and then MU the percentage that you want from the result, instead of the input. Say you have product that costs 100 and you'll want to mark it up, so you'll get 20% of your new sales price as profit. Press 100 MU 20% and it should show 125, which is your sales price, because 25 is the 20% of 125. It doesn't make sense to me why anyone ever needed that button.

There are ressources there, but they're not economically feasible to extract.
Trump wants Greenland because Putin asked him to.
As a kid, a friend asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I said I wanted to be an inventor, like Gyro Gearloose.
He said: That's not a job.
He didn't really break it down much, did he? Basically just spent 4 minutes saying that people who study the bible don't agree on it.
Makes sense to spend most money on the tutorial. All players see the tutorial. Fewer players see the side quest characters or final boss.
There are claims that the translation of the bible is wrong on this though.
In short, feet might mean genitalia. I really have no opinion on it, but it makes a lot of sense. The purpose of even describing the submissive act of washing feet aligns well with the old Greek teacher and pupil relationships to present Jesus as a stand up guy who will go down on anybody, men or women, regardless of their status. He took your sins and such.
The message is the same anyway, so I suppose it has been whitewashed a bit throughout the years.
The reason why I want to believe it is that it would also explain why he was so popular that contemporary writers would bother writing anything about him.
Animals sleeping is a pretty big science. Humans are the outliers on this, because we almost shut everything down while sleeping whereas most animals only shut down partially, and/or for much briefer periods. Our sleeping routine is very much based on being in a group, where someone would keep an eye out while others sleep.
Dolphins sleep with one part of the brain at a time. Some birds do the same, but if they're in a group, the innermost individuals can sleep fully, while the outermost keep one eye open away from the group.
As for sharks, yes, they do require a constant flow of water through their gills to breathe even when sleeping. Either they keep moving or they die, or as one shark was found to do: sleeping against a current.
The largest QR code can hold up to 3 kb of data, which is more than enough to write a nasty virus in an injectable script if aimed at specific devices/apps. The main hurdle is breaking the app to execute the code instead of treating it as a string. It's the Drop Bobby Tables joke. Developers hopefully don't fall for this anymore.
Anyway. Making a shitty link and leading people there isn't a new idea. You don't even need a t-shirt. Hackers already place their own printed QR labels on top of otherwise real codes, and the user might not even notice, because they'll be redirected to the right site after the dirty deed is done dirt cheap.
People having been in his vicinity have reported a foul stench, so it's unlikely that he is assisted by anyone who does this kind of job professionally.
I would guess that he's too proud to ask for help, so he probably just trashes some restroom or bath occasionally and then denies it ever happening.
That didn't happen last time, despite people hoping for it back then too.
It's a bit of a paradox, but he actually stayed clear of a total crash last time by not doing his job. He used most of his time scamming the system for money by doing everything at his estates, but it's remarkable how little he actually fucked up because he was occupied with those small amount scams. He's not just a bad businessman, he's also incompetent as a scammer.
I expect the following years to be another golf tour for him, and that's probably the best outcome. Again.
