Dometic here in Australia. In the car, I have a lithium battery charged from the alternator. In the US, I have an Alpicool dual zone fridge/freezer. Powered by a solar-charged lithium battery.

I’ve mentioned it before in a similar thread, but if you shave your head, get a Pitbull Skullshaver that can be used in the shower or while walking around the house, etc. About $100 and adding it to a shower routine is great. A wand for the

No comment on the implementation, but I wonder if there's some value in just allowing parents to be able to point to this and say "No, little Fred, you're not allowed to have an Instagram account until you're 16. It&#x27

If it’s not already, national security budgeting should come into play? Beyond lives at stake, things like morale would impact economy/productivity.

This always amazes me when visiting the US. I'm from a dry part of Australia where bushfires are a regular summer threat, but the smoke seems to dissipate quite quickly. In the US, I've driven more than once for a week across area

I hiked in the Wind River Range (Wyoming) in July and there were massive swarms of mosquitoes. They'd hang around and generally be annoying but I don't think a single one bit me; we were quite bemused. At home in Australia, one mo

I'd like to see a voice instruction layer that can work independently of the mouse/keyboard later without stealing focus. Things like moving files or preparing windows/positioning prior to switching.

Where I am, the local council/county co-organises group-purchasing deals of solar and battery systems. There are constantly incentives offered for solar or more energy- or water-efficient options at home.

Absolutely agree on street parking. If you're driving down a clear street, you can see a kid chasing a ball out from their driveway, or someone about to scoot across the road. When the area is full of parked cars, your visibility is go

This is quite different to my part of inner-suburban Australia. I find drivers here to be almost universally polite and accommodating. And there is barely any speeding. Someone doing more than 1-3 km over the limit on the expressway is a cl

Where I grew up in Australia, I don't remember anyone besides ethnic grandparents going to church (then or now). It just wasn't any sort of factor in the decline of free play for kids. In more religious countries, are the religiou

Personally, cars and the increase in street parking (reducing visibility) are the biggest factors in deterring me as a parent from having my kids roam the street with some level of freedom. When driving, I also see how many drivers beside m
