Most refrigerators have the compressor at the bottom and the heat from the compresser causes more energy loss in the bottom-freezer configuration.

There are still plenty of top-freezer refrigerators with no water dispenser, ice maker or filtration available and those fell out of style decades ago - despite being ~20% more energy efficient than bottom freezer refrigerators. They’re not going away anytime soon.

The battery-powered ones are supposed to be life altering. Perfect uniform beads every time.

You’re not actually giving the website access to your fingerprint or other biometric information by doing that. That’s all handled on your device which then sends a verification message.

There is a huge diversity of plastics being produced today and each one will require a unique evolutionary adaptation to be biodegraded. We’re also continuously developing new plastics and new combinations of plastics such as core-shell polymers. You also had much more wood available than you have plastic scattered across the earth, meaning much more energy available for any microorganisms that evolved to degrade wood and thus a greater evolutionary advantage. I don’t think microbes are going to save us from the plastic scourge anytime soon.

You've got enough lighting in there to perform surgery or put on a play.

Biden used tariffs pretty liberally and incentivized domestic manufacturing as well - entirely at odds with neoliberal economics. Even so, American post-pandemic recovery was the envy of the world.
