I second the Kobo. Bought one when my old kindle died, no regrets.

Are you suggesting that trump is clever and/or witty enough to come up with that on the spot? I find it hard to believe trump would be that clever. And if he was, he would have immediately followed it up with some comment about the "radical democrat [sic] deep state" out to get him.

Thank you!

Did you have that math handy, or did you calculate it just for me? Regardless, thank you again!

The three golden rules to ensure computer security are: do not own a computer; do not power it on; and do not use it.

How many hours of TV does the top 100 take to watch? I need to know what I'm committing myself to.

Teachers like this exist. One of my kids had an elementary school teacher like this. Two examples:

  1. The math assignment was about currency denominations; what coins and bills you need to make up $7.42, for example. My kid answered using $2 bills (uncommon in the US but still printed), as we have them at home. Teacher marked the answer wrong because teacher didn't mention $2 bills in class.
  2. The writing assignment was to rewrite the Snow White story from the perspective of another character. My kid, having read a bunch of those "twisted tales" and recently fallen in love with "Wicked", wrote from the evil queen's perspective and made her a sympathetic character. Teacher marked her down for "changing the story" without acknowledging my kid's creativity. Teacher did not back down when we confronted her on this during our parent teacher conference.

(FWIW, in both cases we reassured our kid that they did great in both cases, and that we were proud of them.)

"Shoot Donald Trump" is the funniest thing Biden could have done.
