Ugh that's a lie, late 80-90s Benz will need a complete rewiring. They used a biodegradable coating for all wires, the coating degraded faster in cold and hot markets too. Catastrophic failure in 20-30 years is normal.

A 14 cup coffee maker, I presume.

Those handlebars appear to be preposterously high, as in I see where the head tube ends and it looks like there’s a foot of spacers before the bars. Camera tricks or are you insanely upright on this?

Fisher pens are pretty great. They are the "space" pens that can write anywhere. I used them in the Army, I've lost some, but one survives. Even after mud, dirt, tossed around, uses in rain, sand environments, it survives.

14 cup? What?

My aunt and uncle had one of these! Just across from the wall phone in the kitchen that you weren't allowed to answer during dinner.

Simplicity in design and function. Companies eventually learned that using the correct components soldered perfectly, meant people didn’t need to buy more of what they sold….and so, here we are

I think it's for the people who remind everyone else to drink water, since (at least in my personal experience) a lot of people don't think much about keeping their water intake up and are thus dehydrated despite being surrounded by clean water. I don't personally visit it much but that's my understanding at least.

For the folks that don’t take water for granted and also embrace it as part of their personality. Like the dudes at the gym that carry full gallons for some reason - I don’t get it, but that’s why I’m no hydro homie.

That's the point (I think). People making a big fuss about nothing at all, and other people laughing at them :) I mean yes, water is life, but to some people it's like a religion!

And this is how people get the attitude of "it's all the same so I'll spend the bare minimum to replace it" and then are never able to escape the garbage cycle and then insist that there is no other way.

I like the irony of the brand name and the product.
But jokes aside, i like the design.
