@th I would've thought it was somekind of mechanical navigation calculation device or something, had you not started talking about coffee beans.

Buying a Curta from a math dealer in a car park outside the train station while wearing "Virtual Light" style heads up display was a very @GreatDismal cyberpunk moment. I should have made a payphone call.

@th @GreatDismal other people: "OH NO LOOK HE'S GOT A BOMB!"
"oh don't worry it's just a weirdo who's about to grind his own coffee at the stoop"

@th@social.v.st first you need to solve vasas alvero conjecture, or else it won't open.

If you are a professional, you just have to count them one bean at a time.

@th lol, same energy.
I was reposting someone's photo of the reproduction of the Charles Babbage difference engine that was on exhibit at the Computer History Museum some years ago.
The difference engine looks even more like a grinder and when I saw it in person, I learned that it operated very much so like a very heavy mechanical grinder because they had to modify the original design so that a person of normal strength could (sweatily) crank the gears.

@th Wow, what a grinder. Don't take it with you outside, or the smartest of those thugs around could mistake it for a grenade.

@th It only accepts beans shaped as an aperiodic monotile.

@th That’s odd.
@michaelgemar @th I keep trying to come back with something better than this and I can't.

@th those have a very bad performance per watt ratio

@th whupps, I accidentally deleted my earlier post.
Anyway, I was trying to show this photo:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_engine#/media/File:Difference_engine.JPGI'd presume you're already familiar with that, but may or may not have seen it in action before and it's some serious physical labor to make that thing turn.

@th It is for counting beans, not grinding them. But you could use it to grind numbers.
