    Slide the beads over one at a time and when a row gets full slide all the beads back and slide one from the next row.

    I was thinking about building a relay-based kit computer. Distantly related to being able to work an abacus?

      hmm. the modern day equivalent perhaps, but i don’t think the skills are particularly transferable

      trans for trans, it means a relationship between trans people that doesn’t involve cis people

      also please don’t come into the trans comm and be rude when you ask questions

          Using a wtf to ask about what a trans (or lgbtq+ in general) thing is makes you sound like you are making it out to be ridiculous, like what a transphobe would do.

                I think I understood that I came off as rude and apologized. Idk wtf the abacus reference is to either.

                I’m extremely online and what is this?

                Sorry I don’t meant to barge into any spaces, I barely post anywhere found this place and thought the posting quality was pretty good.

                  i think you’re fine, you apologized.

                  do you know what a eunuch is? they were a specific class of amab person who was castrated and usually acted as high ranking civil servants in imperial courts in china. the joke is that eunuchs could navigate social drama because of their experience in imperial courts, but a modern trans woman couldn’t carry out the basic functions of the eunuch’s job (using an abacus to do like, basic accounting and stuff)
