    We all have phones with calculators, don’t really need to do napkin math anymore

      Depends on the level of precision you need. If I want the volume in a 500 foot long, 3 inch pipe to roughly estimate how much supply I need to order, I wouldn’t need a calculator. It would very roughly be 90-95 ft3. (Divide 500 by 4 two times and multiple by 3)

      Then I would spend 5 minutes double checking myself haha.
