I find my merino wool (unlined, no back, not tight in toe box) house shoes comfortable 2/3 of the year. We have seasons here, and a fairly cold winter.
I find them more comfortable than barefoot, in the house.

You’ve never had good house shoes.
I’m 10 years in on a (different brand) pair of $60 wool slippers. Worn indoors year round, and to run trash out, get the mail, etc.
Totally worth it.

I managed to get the Sony MDRZX770BN headphones last xmas for $75, through a Best Buy advertising screw up.
They are very good, but not nearly as good at noise cancelling as a 10 year old Sony earbud system I have (it’s only problem is earbud comfort, which can’t be fixed by different buds, because of the geometry of…

What am I missing here?

How about the giant headrests that completely block the view out of the rear window of Honda Odysseys?
Bonus - no one, be they child or adult, can sit in the chairs without the headrest fully up.

Battery powered kids cars are for weenies. (and 1 is far too young).

Get him a Kettler pedal car of some form:

Former rugby player, and I couldn’t agree more.
Played as an adult for 25 years, with only minor injuries, until I tore my ACL and meniscus recently.

For anyone who likes the physicality of football, but not the injuries (or stops in action, chronic play reviews, time-outs, etc.), please give rugby a look.

Loss of interior space.
Extra maintenance costs.
Limited life battery.
Battery disposal concerns.
Screwing over every tax payer for the subsidy.
Plug-in electricity sources generally not clean.

If people really wanted green appliances, they should pay the full cost themselves.

Now, do the same offset crash test using a modern full-sized SUV vs. the modern Sentra.
Basically the same result.
The vast differences in mass and ride height of cars in the U.S. mean that any small car involved in a head-on/offset collision with a full-sized SUV, is basically unsurvivable.
Similar results when hit from…

You think 7th graders are 10-years old?
And that these words are too complicated for either a 10 year old or 7th grader?
And that the leader of the free world should have pandered to such a whelp, rather than the spot on delivery he gave?

I’m a holiday decorator, but am considering something like this for this year.

My neighbor lost his leg (diabetes) to a Christmas light fall a couple of years ago.
Putting lights on/taking off in places that get snow/ice/frost is just dumb. Ladder work as well.

When they make LED shingles that you can change with the…

Not to mention the challenges of trying to land a manned and cargo-stuffed vehicle on Mars.
We’ve still yet to land anything of any size on Mars, in a way that humans could tolerate.

Looks like a Ford Probe, even down to the color.

They’ll buy them back?
Where do you see this?

Does the same apply to the Kindle Fire tablets?

Got one similar to this from a Coach outlet for $25 ~ 17 years ago.
Still going strong; the metal clip is starting to wear through the leather, but it’s got a good many years left in it.
Since I do almost entirely digital transactions now, I’d go for a version without the clip, if/when I replace it.

I can (slightly) see the appeal.
The amount of upfront cost and work to get there isn’t worth the negligible time savings* each time I’d set up a ‘scene’.

I also wouldn’t pay $60 for a digital album.

Not saying they’re comparable. Just don’t understand the market.

I think people with smart lamps or Phillips Hue things are generally spending money on a gee-whiz factor that will look as dated and silly as that Radio Shack remote in a couple of years.

I understand the difference, just not the scenario where I’d a) want a wifi connected lamp, b) be willing to pay $60 for it or c) why I’d add another switch to my wall, if i could control with my phone.
If you have a dedicated lamp you want to turn on with a light switch, spend $3 and wire it that way.

Even my Radio…
