Thanks, I forgot about those. My brain was still in the early days when it was basically a kindle, a nook or questionable knock offs.

Early apple had personality, now it's been replaced.
Is there a way to get hoopla on an e-reader? ~~Assuming no...~~ edit, forgot about the android ereaders. I would go for that + hoopla.
If you're reading on a tablet or android e-ink, I'd probably go with Hoopla. If I had a Kindle, I'd have to go K Unlimited*. As for content, Kindle probably has more [citation needed], but hoopla has alot.
E-ink beats all for reading text, personally I can't read books on a LCD screen. Tablet is great for picture books and comics.
Hoopla can be gotten free via library card, so that immediately gives then a +1 over Amazon.
Amazon has so many negatives, I hate to give them more money.
This next part is not really related to the question, so here's the TLDR: personal anecdote about reading free public domain ebooks.....
* I actually do have a kindle, but don't do Unlimited.
Personally, I have found some great sources of public domain e-books. Reading classics for the sake of enjoyment and not a class has been great. I've found Most English books in the 1850-1920 era are easy to read. Sometimes I have to look up an odd word, but that not any different than new books.
I do buy a few modern ebooks I want, but probably 70% of my reading these days is free public domain stuff.
The ones I know of include;
Project Gutenberg - very large collection, formatting may vary. Some books are just walls of text with 0 line breaks or paragraph indents.
Standardebooks.org - takes public domain books from places such as Gutenberg and turns them into well formated ebooks.
Bookwise.io - more public domain books, but a web-reader formated specifically for mobile devices.
Lastly, if you or anyone reading this does decide to go the free-ebook route or buys them regularly - Calibe is the iTunes of eBook management. (But FOSS) https://calibre-ebook.com/
You know, thinking back - that test (and all the rest) would have yielded much better results for us if they had us do them more often.
Instead it was normal sports most of the year and twice a year we did nothing but various strength, endurance, and sprinting exercises for one class.
In America, we didn't have to truley memorize it. For tests we had a reference packet that included the table.
That being said we did have to memorize a few major ones.
Its also important to recognize education is a state by state thing, not federal. The curriculum in Texas can be different than the one in Florida. Even teacher to teacher, I could see one class having to memorize it while the one next door doesn't.
that or if they have the company card
(and are allowed to use it for meals every now and them)
No problem
If they insist of covering their tip; you can sleep knowing you tried, and they can sleep knowing they can pay for their own food.
That is an intretresting view.
I understand, and respect the sentiment. However, in a co-worker dynamic, it makes sense everyone pays for what they order. I think they would feel guilty if you were buying them lunch. If my co-worker payed for my lunch, I'd want to buy for them next time. Putting a bunch of colleagues in an "I owe you" situation (intentional or not) probably isn't the best idea.
I think you could offer to cover tip for the table and be within reason.
If they were making more money than yourself, would you expect them to cover part of your bill? I think most men would say no, you pay for what you eat.
For a birthday or something, go ahead and push it a little more, but don't refuse when they return the favor (assuming they are decent people).
The fact they want to split the check is a big step from the steryotype of women expecting the man to cover the bill. You're not their wallet, and if they treat you like it, run.
No, this is Patrick!
Honestly, they might as well change the name to Gates. Feels like I have to break through one every time I want to do anything useful.
That's a tasty looking green apple.
I dont know anymore, been here too long.
