So, during the day, when I am at the office, my car stays at home. And in the evening, when I come home, I send my car on a road trip so I can you the parking space to live?

In reality I use the car to go to the office, so neither my car nor me is at home. During the day the parking situation in residential areas is not he problem. Problem is starting when people are all at home.

A lock that needs a battery ... no, thank you!

Btw: the autostart of the video on this site is something I really don't like!

Not very smart, the cord is coming out of the bottom and to plug devices in you need to come from the side.
And now try to put it this way into the book shelf ...

One might think about Apple like you want, but that is the difference to other companies.
Like here they show high sophisticated concepts and "products" but produce only the "old" stuff.
With the iPhone and iPad Apple on the other side developed something absolute new and caused a little revolution on the market.

Sometimes I would like something like that, but it is a bit awkward most of the time ...

It is nice to see what is causing the problem when you have one, but after some years the tube will be so dirty that you don't see anything on the inside ...

@wildlysimple: my grandmother became nearly 90 years old with the tank inside the house, so no problem as long as the connections are tight.

For No. 1: Stop printing on your own home printer, let it be printed in a photo lab.
Better look, better quality, cheaper!

For No. 2: If you like flipping through photo albums so use them. No need for film here either

For No. 3: You like the flaws of a defect camera? No thank you!
And the format of the print is something you can adjust in the digital picture rather easy. But you have to have it in mind while taking the picture (like in the "good old film times")

For No. 4: Polaroid has its pros but the only real use I see for it is when been in a remote area and wanting to give some prints to the locals to please them.
At home you get a better picture quality with the cheapest printer.

And to your kids: Ninjas don't make noises ;-)

@wingfeathers: no problem, but are you willing to pay the much higher price?

Uh? Yes, that's what I thought ...

I don't want to imagine how circumstantial it has to be to accomplish all the numerous functions of a modern TV with the left remote.

The remote of the first TV I can remember had only 3 rocker switches (channel up/down, volume up/down, brightness up/down).

With a total of 380 kg it looks a bit to light to swim rather stable ...
I would be afraid that it will capsize.

You have to differ why you want the SodaMaxxClubStream thing.
Is it not having to carry water bottles and the price is not really important, go for it.
If it is the price of the water you have to add everything what you need to make your tab water having the same quality like your bottled water of your choise.

In my town the tab water has the same quality like the lower priced bottled waters.
In Berlin the water was not very good, had a bad taste.
The water in my aunts house will match every high price, high end bottled water.

If you need a water filter you have to remember that they are quite expensive and they not only remove bad taste, they also remove the minerals which are the soul of the water ...

So it is not only the "screwing a bottle to the device and hooray". There is much more to think about.

Why not use the stuff that is made for it? Disco Film.
And in opposite to wood glue it is water soluble. So you can wash it away if you don't get it removed. Try this with wood glue (and the glues I know get pretty hard)
