The energy star organization isn’t dictating how much energy manufactures have to make their appliances use federal mandate is.
The law is actually dictating how much energy they should be using and they get more and more stringent every year from Congress.
The energy star rating is nothing more than marketing. The same as the better Business bureau they serve no actual function.
85 dollars spread over the course of 365 days is .23 cents a day. 45 dollars spread over 365 days is .12 cents a day. Omg. A whole .11 cents of saving in energy costs. Whoopdy doo! But yes if you turn it into a percentage that number seems way way bigger! 50% savings! A whole 40 bucks a year!
It’s funny because energy costs is just one small aspect of refrigeration.
Did you know that fridges made in the 80s and 90s leaked far less freon than ones made in the last 10 years?
The environmental impact of modern refrigeration is staggering compared to that of about 40 years ago.
Ok. Let’s talk a out this for a moment.
A fridge brand new in 1985 cost about 85 dollars a year in energy now a fridge costs about 45 a year. A YEAR. The savings is absolutely negligible.
And I understand that over a large population that small amount of savings is quite large. The thing is the standards for these types of ratings is… Questionable at best.
For example on a washing machine they conserve water by filling the tub with less water several times which in turn works out to be more water over time instead of just one fill.
The energy star rating sticker is there for marketing and nothing else. It helps sell the appliance. Thats all.
You take the current sitting dictator drag them out by their toes from his Ivory tower string them up in Town square and let everybody look at them.
That’s how it’s always been done historically and that’s how it’s still done to this day it’s very effective.
I am reminded of those poor artists that had to paint the portrait of vial dictators, Hitler, Putin, Stalin.
Afraid if the portrait is not approved they’ll be shipped off to the gulag, internment camp or the front lines.
Trump will endure precisely zero economic pain since he is rich. He doesn’t have to go through anything. He sits in a literal ivory tower why would he feel bad about anything?
I work in appliance repair. My favorite appliance to fix are sub zero refrigerators. They’re easy to work on, straight forward and the company continues to support their product as far back as models from the 1970s.
Subzero makes nothing more than household appliances a thankless industry plagued by planner obsolescence and they can supply parts for their appliances longer than a medical company.
This man being in gay porn sounds a lot like none of my business.
To be fair it is a rather small dick.
Easy peasy. Lemon squeezy.
Firefox-ublock (even better on Linux but not required)
Revanced for mobile.
Pihole doesn’t stop youtube ads anyhow.
Wait… They did a remake of cyborg? Is Van Damme in it?
O no!!! Not the word fuck!
Now I have to go wash myself in rubbing alcohol!
Russia said they’d take over Ukraine in three days.
Russia says a lot of shit.
Gosh that’s sucks people on iPhone using Snapchat.
Says a guy on an android that doesn’t even know what Snapchat does.
Oooo a whole 16 gigs! It can run Firefox with more than four tabs open!
Absolutely! Everything on YouTube is somehow predicated to getting you exposed to some kind of advertising. Absolutely everything!
They’ve min maxed it so hard that without the various plugins that I use in Firefox YouTube would be almost completely unusable.
It’s about uBlock Origin not working on chrome.
No I use u-block origin. The very product the article is referring to.
I just use it in Firefox so I am completely unaffected by this.
It’s a great feel.
20+ years in the appliance repair industry.
In the 1970s a residential clothing washer would run for about 40 minutes at the max setting pulling 120 volts and 5 amps. Albeit they used more water to clean the cloths faster.
A modern front load washer now runs for about 2 hours for a regular wash at the same 120 volts and 5 amps. Although we are saving water we recycle anyway…
