Those are built-in 30’’ commercial Sub-Zero units. The pair are $21,000 together ($10,500 each) plus installation cost. They have wi-fi so you can set the temperature on your phone (and if someone knows your wi-fi password they can hack your refrigerator, I know someone who did this) and NASA air purifiers and (Black) sabbath mode so that when Members of a certain tribe open the refrigerator the light doesn’t come on because the Bible totally says turning on a light bulb is work and work is verboten on the sabbath. It’s not some bullshit some cleric invented in the 20th century, honest.

I…didn’t expect a detailed reply about the logic behind a $24k fridge lol. I hate this future where EVERYTHING needs bluetooth and wifi now. Won’t be long before our wallets no longer open until they have a clear wifi connection.

is it so hard nowadays to make a refrigerator that cools and freezes things without much humidity and that it lasts atleast 10 years?
 
they dont make sturdy reliable and simple stuff like they used to anymore

Planned obsolescence.
 
I don’t think it’s that hard, it’s just that corps are building everything to break down as soon as warranty runs out.
 
If our stuff lasted 20-30 years, how would they sell the new 1.00001 version 6 months later after they released the version 1.0?
 
Besides the loads of documented instances of this, here’s a piece of anecdotal evidence: (my own experience). I never had any kind of electronics that lasted more than a few years. Laptops, smartphones, you name it. Except, I have this 2012 Kindle Fire HD thing. It’s not just the basic grayscale e-reader, it’s a full on tablet computer. Music, movies, etc. 8 years, still works pretty much damn perfectly, even though I’ve been dragging it around with me for years, reading in both way hot and below zero temperatures, installing some hacked-together apps, etc. on it. Battery lasts a bit shorter of course, but other than that… works fine.
 
Not that Amazon is a good company, but it shows that you can build even electronics to last if you’re up for it.
 
Same thing for everything else. My grandmother has a fridge that’s I don’t know how many decades old. 50? 60? A real friking Soviet relic, and it’s still running.
 
Today’s economy just relies too much on non-stop mass production of crap that breaks down all the time. And then we get all the issues with pollution and recycling…

Ross Perot and Teddy Roosevelt 1912 are the best arguments against the current structure of The Electoral College. After Perot’s unexpected success, the two major parties ensured that third parties could only win by cheating. Gary and Jill (2016) as well as Jo and Howie (2020) should have been on the debate stage.

Principles are for losers. The only way to win now is to cheat. No one cares if you cheat if you cheat and win because once you’ve won then your enemies have no power to stop you.

Lots of people are going to get SO fired from this security breach, but notice how no one is burning down the building, writing graffiti on the walls, or destroying the statues and paintings inside.

So how many Antifa members are among the capitol stormers? We already know there was talk about both sides cooperating.
