@DrOinOR@mastodon.social I'm part of the generation that definitely knows what this is and has at least some idea of what it does, but has absolutely no idea how to use it for any of it.

@DrOinOR@mastodon.social I know not the way of divining information from the rule of the slide. And I give thanks to those who do.

@DrOinOR@mastodon.social My dad had a slide rule. There's one black-and-white self-portrait of him in college looking super studious with the slide rule covering part of his mouth. (He told me later he was holding it that way to hide a cold sore.)

@DrOinOR@mastodon.social I know what this is and actually knew how to use one back in the late 70’s. And can safely say I haven’t used one since then nor do I remember how.
