I guess people who can afford any of that sh#t for cats can afford it since they likely have nothing else in their lives - and no reason to live anyway.
normal light can shine further away, and you dont have to fix your eyes on grid pattern....and you can still see imperfections, holes etc. vs. all you can have is just light grid/pattern, not an actual visible area in front of you in dark. just lines reacting to surface. also its not that far in front of you, so you have to ride pretty slow to be able to react...
#16 The act of writing something down aids in memory. Forming the words in your head and transferring them to paper make you think about them more deeply, creating more synapses connected to the memory. That's why we should do it, and why people who do take notes generally do better on tests.
Kids are now given access to teacher's notes online, or they just take a damn picture of the board with their phones. Either way, they never look at them again, and don't remember sh#t. Then they're surprised when they get a sh#tty grade, and they go make memes about it.
#31 I have an electric clothesline! Mine doesn't raise up to the ceiling, though. It just sits on the floor, next to the washing machine. I call it "the dryer."
These are all worthless luxuries for people who have too much $$ and are just looking for something to spend it on. None of them are very practical, and a lot of them are just dumb.
#15 That dryer came with a rack to put shoes and other things on so they don't bounce around. Below and to the left of the exhaust vent, you can see one of the two indents that hold the back of the rack. The front of the rack rests on the lip of the door frame. We have had one for +20 years.
#18 Even at 100% efficiency, the amount of solar energy landing on that surface area (1,400 watts per sq m at the equator at noon) is nowhere near enough to move that car 45 miles in a day, let alone 450. Solar cells are 20% efficient at best (280 watts), then about 30% of that is lost when you charge the battery (200 watts), then you lose another 25% of that in motor efficiency losses (150 watts). Net usable energy is marginally more than 10% of the available energy. Pure fantasy.
I just upvoted your comment. But then I googled "Bridgestone World Solar Challenge" which finally lead me to vita.solarteameindhoven.nl/ This thing seems to be real!
Ebbie, Technology was "nowhere near that" back when internal combustion cars could only do about 25 MPH, max. Car tires were "nowhere near that" back before vulcanization had been invented and tires melted on hot pavement. Time moves on, new discoveries are made, and things improve. The profit incentive guarantees it.

Hehe, stick... Do you mean shtick? A shtick is a gimmick. A stick is a small piece of wood.
I totally agree, though.
Whatever, i want it!
While they're certainly cool, doesn't that defeat the purpose of "blackout" curtains...
I’m gonna have to disagree. That is pretty brilliant
normal light can shine further away, and you dont have to fix your eyes on grid pattern....and you can still see imperfections, holes etc.

it looks cooler, but thats it.
Abednego,
dont tell me this is worse

Gratis invention in 2010...Never heard from again
#21 Of course! I should buy blackout curtains just so I can turn them into non-blackout curtains. Brilliant!

This is our future.
Your joke is even older and more worn out than boomers are. I'd bet you're a real disappointment to your parents.
Maybe you could have a talk with them.

Basically a good idea poorly implemented.
