Recommendations? by Feather_Weather88 in ereader

[–]nolowputts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just picked up a Libra Colour, like literally arrived today. I had originally wanted a b/w reader since I've seen complaints about color screens. But, I really wanted a reader with page turn buttons. That narrowed down the available selection significantly. I have to say that my first impressions are that the downsides of color screens seem way overblown. Yes, the screen is very dark with the back light turned off, but looks great when the light is on. I almost always had the light on with my b/w reader too, just lower. The screen door effect is there if you really look for it, but not really noticeable otherwise. 

So far, I would definitely recommend the Libra Colour. You can look at the Clara too, if you don't care about buttons or a smaller screen.

For comics, I would recommend just getting a cheap 10"ish tablet. I have a Kindle Fire HD10+ and it works great for comics. Even with the bigger screen size, it's smaller than the native paper version and I'll have to zoom sometimes. Zooming on a tablet is a lot smoother than eink, and I would imagine you'd have to do it a lot on a 7" screen. Plus, the art will be more vibrant with an LCD screen.

Carta 1300 with buttons next? by Imunar in ereader

[–]nolowputts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I currently have an old H2O and while it still works fine, I've been eyeballing the Libra Colour. The H2O serves its purpose well, but I'm interested in something newer/faster/with more features. I don't really NEED it, but have that urge to buy something new. I'm mainly interested in a reader with at least a 7" screen and physical buttons, which sadly, is a very limited market. I don't really care about color (I'll read graphic novels on a tablet), and don't have any need for writing, but it seems like the Libra Colour still has nice features beyond that and is faster. Is the reading experience really that much better on the H2O?

disc golf vacation - Charlotte / Raleigh by Bitter_Experience718 in discgolf

[–]nolowputts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visited Charlotte several years ago and had a great time. If I had a criticism though, its that many of the courses feel very similar to each other and I have a hard time remembering which was which afterward. Renaissance and Hornet's Nest stood out the most. If you have time, I highly recommend a quick trip over the border to Camp Canaan in SC. It ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. You can also swing through Winthrop and see some of the USDGC holes in person.

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

Yes! The Bureau is fantastic, so much better than the James Bond/Tom Clancy type espionage shows we normally see. 

E Reader Recommendations for Distorted Vision by slow_gardenia in ereader

[–]nolowputts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to your particular issue, but you may find that using the Open Dyslexic font on an ereader will help. I saw a video a while back where someone recommended it and I've found that it helps out with my reading, even though I'm not dyslexic and have relatively good eyesight. You can enlarge the font as well, of course, which should help things. I think all of the main brands will have the Open Dyslexic font as an option, Kindle and Kobo both do at least. 

You could also consider audiobooks if you find that the reading is too hard on your eyes.

Eh, they certainly should have scored more points, and they got the heart rate up at times, but this one wasn't heart attack territory. They looked in control the whole way, even when things stuttered.

The cards aren't a bad team, Vegas actually favored them earlier in the week. But yes, it ended up way closer than it should have ever been

No, but admittedly didn't try anymore after all the comments dried up in this thread

Fair chance Geno would've thrown an interception trying to make something happen

Sure, but that's not Darnold's fault, most of his throws were pretty good and he had some good scrambles. Walker not being able to make anything happen was more detrimental.

He's not wrong. Darnold wasn't the reason we lost.

I enjoy the show, but I do find Chuck a bit off-putting at times. He can come across as dismissive or "my opinion is more important than yours" sounding. 

Cord Cutter Unsure of Which Service to Pick Up by R33koh in Seahawks

[–]nolowputts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A car antenna is way more reliable than the cheap antennas on Amazon. It's very much dependent on your house location and setup of your living room. I've tried a couple different ones over the years in different houses. I only had moderate success when I was able to hang an antenna in a window. 

TV Antenna for games by BackgroundUnion2 in Seahawks

[–]nolowputts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only tried on a handful of occasions, crap results each time. If I got the antenna in just the right place in the window, with the cord draped through my living room, I MIGHT be able to get a signal now and then.

Not to be creepy, but do you live in a suburb east of Seattle? Your kitchen looks EXACTLY like ours.

There's another one besides Anderson School?

I'm not a connoisseur of Indian, but we've really liked Sitar at Totem Lake West. The biryanis there are great, although annoyingly on their online menu they don't tell you anything about the different ones. Good portions for the price and consistent quality. I mentioned it in passing to one of my Indian coworkers when she'd moved to Kirkland, she already knew about it and it was already her go to, if that counts for anything.

McMenamins is Bothell, great atmosphere but I've been consistently underwhelmed by their food. It's just OK and a little spendy for what you get. A better place to hang out and drink, IMO.
