Gold will do. Just leave it in an unmarked bag at your front door, and my minions (the green ones, not the yellow ones) will pick it up when you are not looking. Make sure the weight is less than 100 lbs please. (But more than 25 lbs).
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

I know what you mean about the heavily accented speaking. I went to GTC this past spring and one of the seminars was given by a guy from India and it was a struggle to listen to. I gave up and left midway through it and read the powerpoint slides.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

I totally agree, they spend half the video explaining every simple freakin detail that you should already know and if not you're probably watching the wrong video anyway.
I find myself constantly saying, "Get to the freakin point".

It’s because I was tired of reading the Indian version of English in articles and blog posts.

Does "paying lip service" involve regular botox injections?

No; that would be ironing out the wrinkles in the presentation.

Well, you'll toot, but I don't think it'll have a bagpipe sound.
Oh, wait.. nevermind. I misread your comment.

I hair what your saying but that's a mustache trim. Botox helps with playing cards and maintaining a pucker face.

10 cores, but only 2 are "fast" cores; and they're a 2015 model with the medium speed cores identical and only marginally higher clocked than the slow cores. Mediatek hardware elephantry at its finest. 
It's still probably an upgrade from an Amazon Kindle because they're absolute race to the bottom junk unsuited for anything but shopping from home or watching CatTube Prime Cat Video (no GApps on Amazon devices out of the box  ).
I have no experience with that model but do have a different no-name android tablet from China because of the huge hole on the market between Amazon's race to the bottom garbage and Samsung's compete with Apple on high price models. You definitely need to do your research and find some reviews before buying because quality on these devices is all over the map.
PS Thanks for linking this though, elsewhere I know a few people elsewhere who have been looking for replacements for older Android 7" tablets that don't massively suck; a year or two back and couldn't find anything with better specs than the Nexus 7's they wanted to replace. Assuming the screen isn't a train wreck this should fit the bill of better than that at least.

Thanks for the feedback on it.

That's what I'm thinking too. I mean it looks like on of the highest end Android tablets I can find.
It's so odd that there is such a huge hole in the market for this.
Like you said you basically have a choice of a Samsung on Android and one of iPad choices from Apple.
I actually have an iPad mini 3 that is still doing well and beats just about everything Android at the moment. I wish there were more choices for Android out there and you'd think there would be since it is an open platform. Totally confused about why there isn't more choice.

In the 8" class there's a fair amount of reasonablish ~$250 models if you're willing to order from overseas. The one I got is 1440p 8 core with 4x A7X cores.

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT.
So ... I'm up Monday.
So we want themed next week, or "back to normal"?
I have to say I'm not convinced by themes - this week was a combination of "too easy" and "too difficult" and I feel it's too hard to get the balance right.
Your thoughts?

I think go back to normal - the theme I inadvertently started ( spinners ) was taken up by chance so I thought it might work , but hey hoh

Maybe try it once a month and see if it improves with age and experience?

I couldn't figure out a way to indicate a 'keyword' (the spec is a little vague here), so I posted a 'general category' theme.
Which didn't give the original idea fair hearing.
Why don't you try to 'keyword' Monday's offering and see how it goes?
Alternatively, maybe Tuesday's child could be the one to form the first link in the chain - picking the key to link to - for extra points, if nothing else.

My wife asked me why I was speaking so softly at home.
I told her I was afraid Mark Zuckerberg was listening!
She laughed. I laughed.
Alexa laughed. Siri laughed.
