The slide rule is the key tactical bit there. Means ready ready to rough it far away from recharging stations.
But now you’ve made me wonder if they make Kydex in-waistband holsters for the TI-84 calculator…
Dang… well played, sir!
Begin? Oops…
I do know they make MOLLE pouches for my TI-nspire CXII. Don’t ask me why I know this.

I have a drop-leg holster for the Accu-Math slide rule.
You guys are about to start up a movement of “Pi Boys?”
White privilege.
What goes a round, comes a round.
GROAN!
Now you’ve gone tau far.
The Nazis in Charlottesville were all wearing white polos and khaki chinos. The Proud Boys wear black and gold Fred Perry polos (which cost upwards of $90). Fred Perry has issued a proclamation condemning them, and has announced they’re going to stop making them.
And the Boogalo Bois wear Hawaiian shirts. Or else t shirts with igloos on them (because Big Luau and Big Igloo).
The proud boys aren’t the only ones to hear the dog whistle heed the call.
Other groups include:
- Three percenters , named for the myth that only 3% of colonists were willing to take up arms in the Revolutionary War. The militia group has threatened force against Democratic politicians.
- Oath keepers, who seek to serve as private back-up for police forces around the country. Many members are themselves former police or military.
- Boogaloo bois , identifiable by the Hawaiian shirts they typically wear in concert with body armor and, often, Make America Great Again hats. Like the Proud Boys, they bring the winking irony common to online extremism into the physical world. Even the name “boogaloo bois” is a joke — but their call for a second civil war, drawn along ideological lines, appears very real.
- Atomwaffen , the most nihilist of all the major groups, which openly calls for mass murder of lefists, ethnic and religious minorities, LGBTQ individuals and others. It’s been linked to killings and terrorist threats in the U.S. and abroad.
That’s on top of:
- Local groups like Patriot Prayer , which organizes rallies and disrupts left-wing protests, chiefly in the Pacific Northwest;
- Longstanding hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan ; and
- Groups like American Renaissance that seek to put the gloss of academic legitimacy to far-right, racist views.
…
The bottom line: Any one of these groups on its own represents a small sliver of the far-right fringe. But together they constitute a potential paramilitary force that has an increasingly explicit endorsement from the president and that’s hungry for violent clashes with their political opponents.
It sounds like an Ork unit from Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40k game. They’ve got Pain Boyz so why not Proud Boyz?
A friend commented that it sounds like a brand of potty training diapers. Which is quite appropriate.
I don’t want to link to some of the tweets I’m seeing as they are hella scary, but Rex Chapman is posting several if anyone wants to see them.
One guy says war is coming and he’s ready. These guys are not going to have a problem killing their neighbors. They are saying out loud that they will not accept a Trump loss.
Holy cow, I don’t want to overreact, but I’m getting very concerned about the next little while.
Relax, they’re just orks wearing diapers.
If they were Skaven, I’d be worried.
Organized recreational activities for Incels(R), on off-days in between riots.
ETA: Okay, I see I was ninjaed by anny_m at Post #28.
Remember the crying on the internet tough guy after the Charlottesville fiasco? Those are the kind of nimrods threatening to, something, if Trump loses. Don’t fear those assholes. Never fear those spineless bastards. If they want push to come to shove in a literal sense, then they’ll find out what exactly is the difference between an electoral majority, and a popular majority. They are outnumbered a thousand fold if not magnitudes more. Fuck those assholes.
From HuffPost, but also quoted on any number of other media:
Listen, quit taking this off-tangent. I’m trying to get an inside angle on what these retards are all about, and your math puns are too obtuse. C’mon, I’m just trying to figure out a normal vector on these chowderheads.
Tripler
I can’t join them. I just blew my monthly load of math jokes all over this thread.
On a serious note, I object to your use of the word ‘retards’.
That figures.
