  • To be fair and if we consider Catholic lore and dogma technically any kind of breach of the confessional seal is a major breach in Catholic law or whatever. So I understand this from a faith based perspective.

    On the other hand, I'm an atheist so fuck the confessional seal and report major crimes. Especially fucking child abuse! Any kind of child abuse!

  • 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....

  • 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.

  • Nhaaa.... Just because you do the nazi salute position yourself in a place of authority inside our current fascist government and support it's politics and agendas even make Buddy buddy with its leader doesn't necessarily make you a fascist yourself... Right?

  • See this is exactly where I mean. You immediately take offense.

    Like I'm some kind of super conservative right wing anti LGBT nut. You have no clue what I have to say and even if I said it to you wouldn't understand it and call me a bigot.

    Of course I don't necessarily mean you as an individual I'm saying in general.

  • You know it's funny comments like this don't get reported for "inciting violence" but if I even mention the slightst dessenting opinion of trans issues even for the sake of discussion my comments get removed for the same "inciting violence" 🤷

    Edit: point and case. Can't have any kind of differing or dessenting opinion on anything having to do with trans anything. All you people want is to give you unwavering support and don't you dare question anything.

  • Trump isn't king and executive orders aren't heavenly edicts.

    Both their powers have limits. Limits that were intentionally imposed so no one entity and individual would have too much power.

    If anything all these ridiculous and idiotic executive orders are lessening the true power of the process.
