  • I did a lot of research and ended up buying a Kobo for my wife who was looking to switch from paperback. At the time the Clara HD was the newer model in the size and feature family she was looking for. I made the choice based on e-ink quality, wide compatibility of formats (including public library rental), and price.

    Keep in mind that Amazon keeps device prices artificially low by pushing ads to your screen. I have had four different Kindle Fires over the years, and hate how intrusive the advertising is on their devices.

    After spending a year or so jealous of my wife's Kobo Clara HD, I bought myself the then newer Kobo Libra 2. Then she was jealous of my Libra and bought herself one, and gave the Clara to our kid who is a bookworm as well.

    We love our Kobos.

  • Drop the integer and multiply the decimal part by 12, round, divide by 12, reduce, then re-incorporate the integer.

    Example: 1.3 cups = 1 + 0.3 cups = 1 + 0.3*12/12 cups = 1 + 3.6/12 cups = 1 + 4/12 cups = 1 + 1/3 cups.

  • The cure I've always used is to suck water through a restricted straw. I take a plastic straw, pinch it in the middle with a paperclip, and drink a small glass of water through it.

    The science is still out on what causes hiccups, why we get them, and how exactly to stop them.

  • I've been following this story for a while, and no, the school and the surrounding community didn't have a problem with the Christian club. Early on (iirc) the school claimed they denied the Satan club because they handed out fliers in school, against the rules for religious clubs, even though the Christian club did the same thing.

  • I had a DM wanting us to come up with a party name after a dozen or so sessions together. Our first big quest - and a couple reoccurring themes - had to do with escorting NPCs, so we decided to call ourselves "The Escorts". All the players not only liked it but were actually excited about it. But DM flat out refused to allow it. (Important context, we were all adults between 25 and 40). We never came up with another name, and the campaign started falling apart no long after that.
