    If it’s not important enough to take a few seconds to a minute typing it, it’s not important enough to use a skill that’s severely atrophied from decades of intentional disuse 🤷

        Again, you can do that on your phone calculator. Hell, most grocery stores even have self scan apps if you want to go a step further
