Yes, mine works just fine when it comes to jump starting my Ford Fusion (and my old Mazda 626 before that), but it is useless for starting my wife's SUV.
As far as the internal battery going flat, that definitely happens and it takes forever to charge it all the way up . I should probably buy a new, beefier one.

I'd probably buy a spare battery for the older of the two cars, and a trickle charger - that way you can use it as a "spare part" as well, and not pay extra for the plastic box it all comes in!

I hear you, but the trickle charger is really only good if the battery is flat while your car is in your garage and you have time to wait for it to charge.
My Mazda is no more. A few years ago an elderly woman ran a red light and spun me around. The Ford Fusion had corrosion on one of the battery clamps and stopped charging the battery. Cleaning that eventually fixed the problem, but the first time it happened I was running errands somewhere in Mexico, pulled the jumper thingy out of the trunk and got the car going almost right away.
However, that car was totaled earlier this year by an elephanting hit-and-run Porsche 911 driver . I was pretty happy with my old Fusion, so I bought a newer version. It's an awesome car, but my commute to work is +50km each way 5 days a week, so I am already due for a second oil change.
BTW, I don't know which guy at Ford decided to put 240hp in my engine, but he deserves an MVP award

Or if you leave it in your garage on trickle all the time.

When you were younger there were no pneumatic tyres!

Last time I had the mobile tyre fitter round, they used one of these and could work on both tyres on one side at the same time.

Handy!
I have the compressor, so if I had a garage...

That is the most fantastic style of English I have read in a long time. You Germans should do it more often!

I hope it was at least understandable

If you don't want to buy a tire pump like has been suggested above there's an easier option for next time. Go to the gas station where you normally refill your tires with them in the truck/backseat/etc and reinflate them *before* you mount them on the vehicle.
That or just say elephant this, it's too much of a PITA for the amount saved, and pay your local shop to do the work instead.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Looks made up, anyway.

Well, the Hoover Dam was a juicy target I don't doubt there were plans to take it down, just I think a U-Boat that could be for want of a better phrase 'flat-packed' is a little hard to believe there was I know some smaller subs that could be transported like that but they were to small (The sub museum in Gosport (UK) has the one they got working on a Ch4 show Salvage Hunters??) the Japanese had submerge-able aircraft carrying subs that could have made an attack but not with enough punch to make any serious damage. Interesting site will have to have a look further...Thanks for that!

Goliath encounter: Puppy-sized spider surprises scientist in rainforest
errrr
how about we rework parts of this article
Goliath encounter: Horriffic Arse wipingly sized spider totally terrifies scientist in rainforest
Found in an ungodly location, one spider so large it makes even the most hardened Australian stop and mouth W. T. F.
Yet despite all that, the spider doesn't pose a threat to humans. Even if it bites you, "a chicken can probably do more damage," Naskrecki said.
bollocks says Bryce, reader from Brisbane.
Despite its name, the birdeater doesn't usually eat birds, although it is certainly capable of killing small mammals. "They will essentially attack anything that they encounter," Naskrecki said.
Examples include, wandering scientists, small children and programmers minding their own sodding business.
After catching the specimen he found in Guyana, which was female, Naskrecki took her back to his lab to study. She's now deposited in a museum.
Dead, as it should be.

Love the way the article's written as if it's a new discovery.
The spider (or one instance of it) has been the Guinness world-record holder for decades.
