EpsilonVonVehron, in SLPT adding two mini fridges together makes one regular fridge. And cheaper!

Save $100 buying two small fridges, pays $100 a year more in power bills to run two small fridges.

Is it actually more power intensive?

From the Google: The electricity consumption of average mini or compact refrigerators is about 233 kWh to 310 kWh. Meanwhile, refrigerators (18-20 cubic feet) often use between 404 and 613 kWh.

Seems comparable. And you would only be opening one and losing energy for half of the total volume when doing it this way.

skepticalifornia,
@skepticalifornia@lemmy.world avatar

Agreed, probably a little more efficient to use the 2 mini fridges.

Brkdncr,

You don’t lose half of the volume when you open a fridge door. The “cold” is stored in the items inside the fridge.

Ragglemcsnics,

While yes you’re very right, that also assumes you have the fridge packed full.

Brkdncr,

If you’re interested in saving electricity, you should. Even if it’s just a pot of water. Empty refrigerators run constantly.

Electrically comparable only if they are volumetrically, which they are not. Typical mini fridges have an average volume of 2.5 to 3 cubic feet. So approximately one sixth the volume for half the electrical consumption is not a worth trade.

First I’ve heard of this, thanks!

Enjoy! They just fixed a hitch with accounts and the subscriptions and it's nice and stable now it seems!

Interesting thanks for sharing! Only thing missing is the absolute chaos in the comments. YT comments are half the fun haha

It's true haha, and there's a couple other quirks. Unfortunately the trending page is pretty bad (makes sense, it's just accountless YouTube) and there lack of tracking that YouTube uses on you mean you only get your subscriptions.

So if you're a YouTube explorer it can definitely limit finding new channels from the frontpage. (For me so far at least). However, the videos when you are watching something still have a mix of your subs and similar channels, so that's good enough for me for now. I also assume that it, unfortunately, probably doesn't fully support the channels (views, engagement). I'm not 100% on what the deal there is but it's worth mentioning.

Super cool project though, self-hosted solutions are always welcome and the developer seems to be quite young and enthusiastic which is always welcome.

That motherfucker went DEEP on fridges in his last video.

Robnez,

Since no one linked the actual video, here it is.

SirYeet,

Yeah I was thinking along those lines too. Hopefully op factored that in and it may be negligible

PenisWenisGenius, (edited ) in SLPT: If you dont feel like wearing pants, you can carry your phone around in that little front underwear pocket* (*male only)

You don’t really have to wear underwear either if you don’t want to. Everyone has a built-in pocket between their buttcheeks.

CluckN, in SLPT: You can make like 30-50% of your social circle think you're psychic (or just weirdly smart) by asking them to think of a number 1-10 and asking if it's 7.

How did you know the number I was thinking of?

mipadaitu, in SLPT: You can make like 30-50% of your social circle think you're psychic (or just weirdly smart) by asking them to think of a number 1-10 and asking if it's 7.

It’s mathematically proven that the number 7 is the most random number, so it makes sense.

Gigan,
@Gigan@lemmy.world avatar

From 1-100, humans perceive 37 to be the most random number. Veritasium did a video on it recently.

Pronell,

Yup. Go to the bar, find a 7, and ask them how random they are.

Chances are you’re gonna get sporked.

but actually, do this. just use a private tracker

PopcornPrincess, in SLPT: in a rush after a snowstorm? Skip brushing your car off by simply driving fast! The air will brush your car off for you.

You have the best slpts. I now know so much.

PopcornPrincess, in SLPT: Remember to do that thing before it's too late!

Damn why didn’t I think of this.

jacktherippah, in SLPT: Before taking what you think is the biggest shit of your life in the restroom of someone you barely know, make yourself a favor and flush the toilet once to make sure it is functional.

Ask for their poop knife =)

You may not have a choice at this point

If the tank isn’t filling for whatever reason just take off the lid and fill it with a water glass from the sink, or whatever is on hand. Once it’s filled it will flush. Unless it’s just totally blocked down below.

tenacious_mucus,

Unless they have a European style where the tank is built into the wall with no access!

Yaztromo, in SLPT: Before taking what you think is the biggest shit of your life in the restroom of someone you barely know, make yourself a favor and flush the toilet once to make sure it is functional.

Did you try asking your hosts for their poop knife?

zcd, in SLPT: Before taking what you think is the biggest shit of your life in the restroom of someone you barely know, make yourself a favor and flush the toilet once to make sure it is functional.

Learned this little nugget from dumb and dumber

jeffw, in SLPT: Before taking what you think is the biggest shit of your life in the restroom of someone you barely know, make yourself a favor and flush the toilet once to make sure it is functional.

LPT: if you have guests and your toilet doesn’t work, tell them. Especially if you see them enter the restroom.

If you don’t say anything, you get what you deserve. Don’t worry OP, you did nothing wrong and your host was an idiot

platypus_plumba,

Yeha, but it was understandable because it was a clogged pipe, so there was no way to tell just by looking at it. He didn’t know and obviously apologized… Anyways, the night was ruined for me at that point.

jeffw,

How does a toilet pipe get clogged without the last person who flushed it realizing? The previous flush would not have gone down. I think your host was trying to save face. Seriously, you should not feel bad about what happened. If anything, you should feel a little mad that your host fucked up.

Hello_there, in SLPT: Before taking what you think is the biggest shit of your life in the restroom of someone you barely know, make yourself a favor and flush the toilet once to make sure it is functional.

Followups: 1) rock back and forth if you have a hard one. 2) flush halfway through 3) Use colace and wait an hour if you have a really hard one.

nokturne213,

Won’t they noticed if you are in the bathroom for an hour? That seems super uncomfortable.

Just tell them you were just… shaving.

Or maybe hosts should make sure they have functional appliances if they have company over?
