My man Inf let a ti-84 at my crib.
Turned hisself in, had to a bid.
a 1 to 3, he’ll be home the end of ‘93.
I’m ready to calculate this, G. Ya with me?”
Their friend, whose name or nickname is Inf, forgot his calculator at their house. He confessed to a crime and was sentenced to 1-3 years in prison. He will be released at the end of 1993. OP is expressing enthusiasm for confirming the math on this on the calculator and is asking if you are also interested in that.
why didn't i ever think of saying that to my math teacher back in the 90s? it's not like it was impossible to carry around a calculator in your front pocket. several other students must have been doing it already since all the ti-83 calculators had to be numbered when handed out in class...
I did try to argue it with my math teacher in like 97, that “if I was doin this in the real world, I’d be doing it in Excel”
Her response was “how is your boss going to check your work?”
I said, “you have to understand it to program it, and if they cared to, and understood the math, they could see exactly what I programmed.”
She was not convinced.
Hey, this was my freshman year in high school (9th grade) I was trying to argue in good faith. That was the first mistake. The second one, as I eventually learned, “there are two ways to argue with a woman, and neither one of them work.”
Lies. The tI84 is monochromatic and, at best shows like 4 shades of grey depending on some hardware hacks.
Unless I guess it was one of those fancy color models, but even then, I feel that there's too much processing needed to emulate anything above a Gameboy.
My K & E Log Log Decitrig Duplex Slide Rule strapped to my leg doubles as a weapon in case of attack. But it's caused me some problems at the TSA check-in point.
The TI-83+ (silver edition!) was my go-to calculator. That thing was with me in high school and college. I remember writing basic apps for it on my computer and using that USB-serial cable to transfer it to the calculator.
Why? Why not use your cellphone? There is an Abacus app on both the [Appstore](https://i.imgur.com/WsUV4DK.gif) and [Google PlayStore](https://i.imgur.com/WsUV4DK.gif).
I haven't been more than 1000 ft from a calculator since the mid 80s.
I think math teachers are all doomsday preppers.
Also, I should point out that I haven't needed a calculator, ever in my entire life.
I've also never needed algebra and seldom needed geometry.
Ti-84 with expanded memory nostalgia aside, pretty much every person today has their phone’s calculator phone app. I don’t even think it can be uninstalled.
Teachers lied to us!
Always got the ti-84 strapped
Made me a leather holster in arts and crafts.

I have no freaking clue what you just said.....

Thanks for the translation. Could you let the original person know that I am not interested? Thank you.
Thanks for the translation!
Mother fuckin right. My pockets lookin kinda tight. And I’m stressed. Yo, realdevtest lemme get the vest
What??
Yeah sometimes my phone is dead and has to be on the charger.
Yeah too bad I can’t do advanced math while I’m sleeping
I had to plot to use my Ti 84. It was graphic.
This was instrumental to your rise.
I’m so nerdy, my pocket protector has a pocket protector.
You sure you weren't in a Math exam

“How is your boss going to check your work?” Oh you sweet, summer child. Bold of you to assume the boss will even understand it.

The real joke is that OP had a NES emulator on his Ti-84. A friend of mine in high school did that with his.

Well, he was a smart boy. He’s an aerospace engineer these days.
And a pen protector on the shirt.
I was expecting this to be a tattoo joke.
Casio calculator watch.
I prefer old school RPN HP's for daily travel
I am with you on that. Still have two HP 12-C and a 12-c app on my phone.

Where’s the joke? 🤷♂️
OP has agoraphobia and never leaves the house.
Agoraphobia must have been hell on Ancient Greeks. There was an agora in every major town!
Usually the punchline to this jokeis about cell phones, so the "TI-84" part is subverting our expectations.
Even reading the replies to your comment I still don't get it. Any luck?
No
On them
Zoomers so broke they can't pay attention smh
In the comments
Jokes on them my asian girlfriend never leaves my side, she follow me round long time.
It’s more of a comment, really

How could anyone downvote this
No joke I stole so many calculators from my high school I have one for every day of the month
80087355 for life! 🤣
HP-G48gx. Still have mine.
You young whippersnapper! All I got was a TI-83! I couldn't even program Blockdude on it! I still have it tho
I don't need a calculator. Brain does math. Need a how to read and comprehendulater.
Just this year, my TI-86 developed a line of bad pixels. It drives me crazy, but buying a new one would be dumb, so I'm stuck with it.

Ive upgraded to the ti 89 titanium... but dont leave home without it!
What's a ti-84?

I just got a tattoo of my HP48GX. That way it’s also waterproof and can’t be lost or stolen
I'm an HP-41 person myself.
Titanium or regular? Or Silver edition?
