I am live.
Tell that to the thousands of clients I service every year with no r134a left if their sealed systems.
There’s a reason appliance repair techs that work on sealed systems are in such high demand.
Dude. I literally recharge two refrigerators yesterday that were less than ten years old.
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…
That’s funny.
Although to be fair the change to r600 freon was a very good step. All they have to do is improve the reliability of those compressors and we’re golden.
No because appliances have become more efficient since then costing less energy to use.
My point is is that efficiency is negligible.
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.
Yes correct. Because fundamentally there is no significant difference between Democrats and Republicans. Money and favor buy votes across the aisle the same as it buys anything else regardless of political affiliation.
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.
The code of Hammurabi clearly states an eye for an eye.
We should just have two women run for president and force the issue!

So basically everything that you said doesn’t address a single thing in my comment.
You’re simply Gish galloping at the moment going from one thing to the other.
Is there anything specifically you would like to address about my comment.
Specifically how the mental illness of gender dysphoria debunks the “I identify as” in the trans community in a relation to the comment that was responding to?
Also stop using the term straw man you don’t know what it means none of you know what it means most of the internet doesn’t know what it means you just heard it on some YouTube debunking videos.
Nothing.
What does your comment have to with the language being confusing?

I fully understand what gender and sex are and agree with the definitions.
I fully support the trans community and people should dress in anyway they want to. The general crux of my argument was about how muddled the language has become.
Man and woman have lost some of their discriptive nature. As a society that uses spoken language words have to have meaning.
There is a disconnect between what people want to be and what people are. And for some reason when this aspect is brought up people become offended.
Being what one is and wanting to be something else are different things. I want to be rich yet I am poor.
People being a “man” or “woman” going around saying they’re not or are something else is confusing and only adds to the negative political nature of this topic.
Why is this issue only localized to gender and sex why not to species? If people called themselves dogs how would that effect the understand of those words?
Matt the idiot Walsh goes around asking aboriginals in Africa to define what a woman is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen btw.
In the eyes of a stranger people are what they appear to be. If one looks like a man I will call them sir. If one looks like a woman I will call them ma’am. I’m not being offensive, I’m just trying to be polite.
