If you go to Advanced Mode when replying, you have a button under Aditional Options called Managed Attachments, conveniently badly named and out of view.

The image will then be displayed at the end of your post.

But hey, why not a decent calculator for those occasions when you forgot yours, or the battery dies or something?

Do they even make scientific calculators that don't have a solar panel ? I haven't seen a non-solar calculator since the 80's.

My school bookshop sold one from Sharp in the late 90's. I bought the solar panel version instead

My T86 graphing calculator or whatever from 2004 took like 4 AA batteries or something, but they didn't die often.

Here is the one I carry, I actually preferred the older model, which was lighter and had a better key layout and did HEX, OCT, and Binary conversions, but they don't make that model anymore.

The HP 48 series sucks too much energy to use a solar panel
