Genuinely not sure. Are you the brother that spited your family with a successful career or the one whose life was was doomed by a graphing calculator.

My guess : the engineer got the older model

Reason : making due with more scarcity increased independence and critical thinking.

I don't know if that was your point...

Sounds like he needed all the help he could get.

ooh good catch! it was a TI-83, got confused right there (it was before 2004)

weird grudge to keep for twenty years, man

> I got into advanced math classes but it was my brother who got the 84+ (I had to settle for a 83+)

I had a TI-85 (maybe 86), unlike the entire rest of my school who had 83s.

There was a difference: when programming in TI-Basic, variable names on a TI-83 are limited to a single character. On the 85, you can make them longer.

But that was pretty much the only difference, and it will never come up if you're using the calculator for school-related reasons.

(For calculus, I had an 89. The differences are much more significant there.)

Gonna guess you are the NEET

why are you attacking your brother lol

On 9 July 1537, Martin Luther wrote in a letter to Wolfgang Capito about a lost golden ring: "Pro annulo aureo gratias tibi agit mea Catharina, quam vix unquam magis indignatam vidi, quam ubi sensit, cum vel furto sublatum, vel sua negligentia (quod nec mihi verisimile est, licet usque ingerenti) amissum, quod persuaseram ei, hoc donum esse felix omen et augurium ei missum, tanquam nunc certum esset, vestram Ecclesiam cum nostra suaviter concordare; id mire dolet mulieri."[1]

When Luther's house in Wittenberg was excavated about 20 years ago, a golden ring[2] was found that must have been deposited there before 1540. It is therefore quite likely that this is the ring mentioned by Luther in 1537.

My mom once was getting ready for work and I hear a pop and hear my mom yelling. I go in and her necklace fell off the dresser; a "dust buster" wall wart was plugged in back there and it fell across the prongs, shorting it out.
