Some of the few compact disks I bought.

Most modern gadgets are alternating current only.

Direct current is easy to store.

Solid state inverters work beautifully.

Life is short.  If a child were started now I would be of little physical use before it was forty.
Starting with an older child is starting with the probability of other's mistakes.

Dogs would be easier on my conscience.
