I believe the reason that the wick degrades at 'just the right rate' is that the flame actually keeps oxygen from reaching the wick (so it can't itself burn) until the level of wax goes down enough that the top of the wick pokes out of the now lower flame.

A lot has and continues to go wrong, but mostly self-repairing. At some point some failure will be unrecoverable, but hopefully that's a long time in the future.
An even better answer might be my cats. The small number of repairs that need professional assistance are cheaper than the same issues would be for myself. However I don't expect them to last as long, unfortunately. Even though I got them very nearly brand new a few years ago.
I don't even see why 5 MB images would be a problem either for lots of us. I usually browse on my home Wi-Fi and have unlimited data outside that anyway.
I'm really beginning to think I should quit that. Even voting isn't secret here.
I bought an Ouya. But that's not the worst. At least I actually received it.
I preordered (what would now be called crowdfunded) a Pandora handheld. Unfortunately I ordered it from the UK shop.
Never got it or a refund.
As another comment said, the wave behavior when not measured is hard to explain if one thinks of photons as little particles that classically would need to go through one slit or the other. It seems each one goes through both slits and self-interferes.
And when measured, sure enough they act like little particles that need to go through one slit or the other.
I still remember exactly how the announcer enunced "You're Going The Wrong Way!"
I haven't read the book, but yeah that really broke immersion for me in the movie.
I Quite Enjoy Your Strategy.
That description reminds me a bit of Habitat for Humanity - I didn't know much about the organization before reading that page a minute ago, but have shopped at the thrift store and knew they use volunteers to build houses for lower income people.
