Sorry about the migraine ): I hope you feel better. Thanks for the info, though. My school doesn’t really have a lot of academic clubs, so I’m trying to see what’s out there.
@futuredoctoryang It’s a ton of work, but you can start a team. It’s really fun. If you PM me, I can help you find resources for starting a team in your state.
I just figured out how to use my calculator as a clock! If you have a TI-84 Plus CE (and possibly some other models; I haven’t seen this with anything other than mine yet), go to mode (to the right of the 2nd button) and go down to the second-to-last thing on the list. You can set the time there.
Edit: does not work on TI-83s.
Liiies. Everything and anything can be done on a TI-83.
TI-83s can’t tell time or show different colors or look cool @OMPursuit
Well, it can’t show color. That’s just not possible, with its hardware. 
The telling time thing is just a lack of creativity. They’re programmable, you know?
That last one… </3
Gunna go kiss my TI-83 on the display and tell it how beaut it is
Gunna go change my profile picture to my TI-84 Plus CE
I got my 84 for $88 from WalMart, greatest, choice, ever. BTW, the time setting only works when the calculator is on, so it is never right unless you leave it on 24/7.
@neophite not for mine. My Plus CE is never more than 10 seconds off, but only because of human error.
OMG @awesomepolyglot we are calculator twins! What color is yours? Mine is pink!
Also at Academic Decathlon yesterday, my team got second place (we would’ve gotten first but we were beaten after three tiebreakers with our rival, wwphs north) in the super quiz bowl and we are almost def going to states (ofc our school always goes to states, but we don’t get our results/medals until Wednesday) and hopefully I got a medal.
Mine’s black and grey.
the ti-84 plus CE is beautiful omg
does any of your schools participate in HiQ?
@whimsicalwhims nice calculator btw
@collegeyouth what’s that?
Are you guys familiar with the whole “lawful good, chaotic evil” thing?
Hark, ne’erdowell- 'Tis known!
Also, knowledge aside, I do think it’s very silly. Neither ‘good’ nor ‘evil’ is any sort of quantifiable or detectable /force/ of nature, yanno?
Yet they’re definitely represented as such. Noooooo. No!
I want some well-intentioned underworld cultists, please.
Oh my.
There’s also a whole “looks like a cinnamon roll, is a cinnamon roll… looks like could kill you, could actually kill you” and I think there should be a new one:
-Says “Fight me” and would actually fight you
-Says “Fight me” but would not actually fight you
-Doesn’t say “Fight me” but would actually fight you
-Doesn’t say “Fight me” and wouldn’t actually fight you
Where do you guys fall? I’m the second one.
I’m the last one, but sometimes I jokingly threaten my siblings and my friends.
I’m the last one too lol. My English teacher just let us write a whole non graded essay where we were able to just express our opinions and everything about A Tale Of Two Cities- it was actually very simulating. Also, she was talking about grades and only seven people apparently have As in her class so now I feel very lucky because I have a 97 and honestly only read maybe 1/2 the book and sparknoted the rest.
I called “dibs” on math competition signups today.
