FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Math Hipsters" published September 24, 2017 - Jason says: You're using a calculator? Pshaw! Eileen says: What's wrong with using a calculator?

As a result, I bet there are people out there who actually believe Pi equals 3.14159265. That's why for my problem-solving money, nothing beats a slide rule. Eileen says: Math hipsters are so annoying. Jason says: Just look at these analog square roots! Marcus says: You're using a slide rule? Pshaw!
