It does have a little “operations” button where you can define a function with one variable.
Maybe it could be used with that?

The TI-34 is a fairly basic scientific #calculator. -
@inherentlee@inherentlee
It has division with remainder by using 2nd and the division symbol. This thing is in the “math” menu. -

The TI-34 is a fairly basic scientific #calculator.The TI-34 is a fairly basic scientific #calculator. I’m a big fan because it’s easy to use and not overwhelming.
I was reading the manual and discovered it has two functions:
ipart(x)
fpart(x)These return the integer and fraction parts of x.
ipart(2.34)=2
fpart(2.34)=.34Great! So, uh.. What are these typically used for? Why include them on such a *basic* calculator? #calculators #ticalc #ti34 #matheducation #mathchat

When reading science fiction or fantasy are you more likely to skip through the action scenes to find out how the world works or are you more often interested in action and bored by exposition?Sometimes, if you are a world-building focused writer, people will suggest adding “more action” and I think one should always *listen* to advice (what you *do* about it? that’s another matter)
When I hear the words “more action,” I think “so add a sword fight??” This is being overly literal. How are your characters in conflict with the world that you are building? How does revealing more about the world complicate expose more of who they are?

Sometimes the main characters a book on their way to an objective and a problem arises, and it can feel very much like the author has inserted the problem because otherwise it would be boring.
“but oh no it’s the bad guys”

The heart of storytelling is always character. (I say this, as someone is generally more interested in the world building than characters.)

What if for our theme, we choose ...UPDATE: the art deco faction is talking about vintage dresses and the sewing club kids are interested maybe it won't be basic.
I will miss this class can't believe the year is going by so quickly. I swear to go they were freshmen just a moment ago.
Woe is me, I'm growing old.

What if for our theme, we choose ..."under the sea"
I'm *still* mad about how basic that was.
No, I didn't go! But still.

What if for our theme, we choose ...I guess the theme is *supposed* to be terrible in a way. I think when I was their age the people into such things picked "under the sea" as the theme.
The play-writing club kids all showed up and tried to stage a "gothic coups" but didn't have the numbers. Also everyone pointed out that we hadn't even bought tickets and probably wouldn't come... (fair point)

(kid on the graduation party planning committee who I wish they'd all listen to. She's going places that one. Strange places I think, but it will be fun. )
I think they picked "art deco" or "roaring 20s" or something like that for the theme and I'm so over it already.

This thing where the Bigfoot people and the Aliens people have teamed up and decided they are all a part of one "phenomenon" (this is true, just not for the reasons they think...*)The east river has been doing better for about three decades now. In the shallows there are even oysters.
There are fish and many sea birds.
I would not eat the oysters just yet, give that one another 200 years.

@glitchI didn't know about that meaning when I named her.
She's rather good about not eating random stuff. Much too picky to eat anything but very fancy cat food.

Small to tiny friends from this weekend on the coast.That's a buff fly.
I assume this is what one finds in "Muscle" magazines for flies.
"Get Big Legs in 10 Days"
"Six hover workouts for better agility."
"Delicious places to stand." -
Shroud isn't a fun book, but it is very good indeed.I liked this one too!

Someone tried to impress me by showing me the Great Potoo, but having been exposed to #PicaTheCat I'm not that impressed: -
#pixaTheCat and a stuffed ant plush are almost the same color and size.@spiegelmama @MCDuncanLab @nova
She has such a happy face.

#pixaTheCat and a stuffed ant plush are almost the same color and size.I don't know about nova, but Pica's mother was a Bronx deli cat who lived down the block from us and kept having kittens until the neighborhood saved up to get her spayed.
Pica was the smallest of a litter of 6. Every cat in that litter was a different color.
