"Miles per hour" is a great way to measure charging speed. (Kilometers per hour would be better though. Maybe furlongs per microfortnight.)

Yeah, I got my kid one and it's been great.

Week nothing, my kid got a balloon for her high school grad that was still hovering at ceiling level 3 months later.

Ha ha, but you actually can set an internet connection as 'metered' in Windows 10 so that it doesn't go crazy with updates and the like.

The venues on this tour are giant arenas -- 90% of the audience is going to be viewing him via video screens set up over the stage. (Including me.)

I love SJG and Jackson's work, but I wish I'd seen this so I could have asked some questions. (Adventure Time is a pretty good version of Munchkin, too.)

The Apple keyboard is okay, but I *hate* not having a number pad. YMMV of course.

Maybe it's just me but ES File Explorer over wifi has been pretty much a non-starter for most of my local network shares.

I don't eat them, either (I did as a kid sometimes and enjoyed them.) They really do seem too smart.

I just started doing the mpeg-ts thing recently. So pretty.

I am boggled at everyone suggesting stuff that was already old when I was a kid. There's plenty of modern SF themed stuff. I guess there is more fantasy and more for older kids, but what about something like Colfer's Artemis Fowl? Would you count something from a modern extended universe, like Pokemon books or Star Wars? (I am not sure what you're kid's reading level is at, but there are Star Wars for pretty much any reading level.) Or maybe gateway stuff like comics, or books about comic characters? Does Iron Man count as SF?

Yeah, I enjoy it although by now I'm mostly only reading to my younger two kids (12 and 6). I read to the older two until long after they could read themselves.

The last one has apparently just been finished (in first draft, anyway.)

My sister quite outdid herself in that respect, getting "Karaoke Kid" for my daughter, a large Teddy Bear that sings. Very loudly. And has an attached microphone so that my daughter could sing loudly along with it. Needless to say, it had no volume control.

It was "lost" pretty quickly.
