Elon musk also says it’ll let you shit flowers and breathe hard vaccum. Melon husk just makes shit up whenever he feels like it. It’s not going to stream music into your brain. They still can’t even get it to stop killing the testing animals.

Gotta work to live.

Everything is a fuse if your current is high enough.

Actually modern fridges are usually less efficient. But that’s because they use refrigerants that are literally thousands of times less harmful to the environment.

Old appliances frequently used R-12 which is an damn nice refrigerant except it depleted ozone and has a GWP (global warming potential) of 10,900. That means 1lb of R12 released into the air causes the same amount of global warming as releasing 10,900 lbs of CO2.

Newer appliances use refrigerants like R134a which still works pretty well, doesn’t deplete ozone, and only has a GWP of 1,430.

The newest appliances are more frequently using R-600a which is hard on compressors because it has a high head pressure and it doesn’t cool quite as well. But it also doesn’t deplete ozone and it has a GWP of just 3. The bigest downside of that one is that it’s very flamable (it’s isobutane) so the legal limit on how much residential appliances can us is very low.

I run prime95 24/7 on my AMD FX-9590 to keep it at a nice stable temp. Plus it means I also don’t need to heat my house in the winter. Gotta love a tdp of 220W.

When it comes to refrigeration in particular newer appliances tend to break more frequently because they are using more environmentally friendly refrigerants. Old CFCs cooled really well with minimal work from the compressor. Newer fridges and freezers are more frequently using isobutane (R600a) because it doesn’t deplete ozone and it’s GWP (global warming potential) is 3 where the GWP of even non ozone depleting HFCs can frequently be in the thousands. The problem is isobutane requires higher head pressures to work properly and doesn’t cool as well as older refrigerants so the compressors have to work much harder to get the same result.

Also when it comes to household fridges and freezers, they really aren’t worth it to fix anymore. You need an EPA 608 cert to even touch refrigerants (in the US anyways). Plus you need a two stage vacuum pump and a recovery machine (amongst other things) both of which can easily cost as much as a new fridge. Then you need to actually have the skillset to remove the broken component and braze a new one in because everything uses brazed connections now to minimize leaks. Then you need to have the know how to properly recharge the system with refrigerant which when you’re working with a critical charge of maybe 2oz of refrigerant is an absoulte pain. All in all, maybe if you are already an HVAC tech and had the tools and materials on hand you might barely break even fixing your own fridge or freezer.

When it comes to consumer refrigeration they can’t be user repairable due to having to work with refrigerants and economies of scale mean they just generally aren’t worth a trained techs time to fix.

Ah, yes. Because the only thing that would improve my pizza eating experience is the risk of breaking a tooth on a seed.

It’s actually really easy. You just bleed a whole bunch then consume foods and drinks without microplastics in them so your body regenerates new blood without microplastics. Then you wait for that blood to pick up some microplastics from you body and bleed a whole bunch again and repeat that process to keep reducing the amount of micro plastics in your body.

The key part is to just make sure you aren’t being exposed to any micro plastics at all while you’re doing that which is basically impossible to do so good luck.

The same way we un-leadpoisoned the boomers.

We don’t.

Primeval Grime is my favorite music genre.

It’s like knitting but for MEN™.

Fuck, now I want to get into making chainmail. Time to pick up another hobby I guess.

Streamio + torrentio my dude.

Yeah, my parents made too much for me to get shit regardless of the fact I was living on my own and paying for everything myself. But I couldn’t declare myself as independant unless I was 26 or married. It’s a bullshit system. I was half debating finding a fellow student that wanted to get temporarily hitched just for FAFSA benefits.

Y’all ever notice that the way your mouth moves when you say Mercedes makes you smile.

Shit clickbait journalism identified.

Bad news guys. Sauron now know everything that Pippin knows. Good news. Pippin doesn’t know a damn thing.

Wouldn’t it make more sense just to use × instead if that was the case? I guess maybe it makes it easier to differentiate it from x?

This right here is the exact reason, especially because x is frequently used as a variable which may be sitting directly nex to ×.

Whenever somebody asks you what time it is, tell them in UNIX time. Become ungovernable.
