Here's one for the road. Ready for the tax return apocalypse! I thought we'd used the whole bunch of them safe for 2 or 3, but then I found a whole stash under a shelf. Geez, some of these rolls are older than I am loll

A large number of financial institutions and bean counters still use them because they're easy to use (big numbers, big buttons), they're very reliable, you can review multiple printouts of long strings of additions and subtractions and then store said printouts with the records. No software, no bug, no printer, no dependency 🤟🏼

Portability, reliability, big buttons, big clear numbers, the possibility to review and double-check multiple printouts of long strings of additions & substractions, removing said printouts to store them with records as proof of accuracy etc Many benefits that explain why a large number of financial institutions and bean counters still use these printing calculators.

Apparently, .32 rimfire is still being manufactured, but it's expensive.

Turns out, Mouli is actually an English word for hand-operated food graters. The word is derivated from "Moulin-Légume" which was patented in 1935 by Moulinex whose original name was "Le Moulin Légume". Everything is connected, we're one under the sun XD

We use it twice a month to grate cheese for pizzas and once in a while for ground ham sandwiches.

Note: I know it's from 1970 because the date of manufacture is stamped under the lid.

Even more upset when they’ll have to spend an extra bumblebee to ferry back there to retrieve said onion.
