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 🤷

It’s pretty useful guessing how much you need to pay when picking multiple products in the supermarket

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

That sounds like an incredible amount of work vs just adding rough estimates together. I can add two numbers in less time than it takes to reach into my pocket.
