Having an IQ above room temperature might not be bliss but it sure helps.

Very based. I have a slide rule that my grandfather gave me made out of ivory. I still use it sometimes just for fun.

How do I get into slide rules? Are they better than a calculator in terms of speed? Or should I just learn how to use an abacus?

I have the same one, a gift from my grandfather. Don't know how to use it. Maybe I should learn just for fun.

you probably have on hand a huge amount of compute power. Figure out how to use it.

Download a slide rule app on your phone if you want to just try one out.

No need for an app even, here's a website with one on it:

Slide rules are fun. It's a good thing to pick up older technologies every once in a while.
