Hello fellow Far Side fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.

The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

That's quite an efficient freezer to be so big and only need up to 15A.

A well insulated freezer that never opens would use very little power once it's already cooled. The impressive bit of this comic would be large thin pieces of glass providing enough insulation.

Na those are actually screens, like the weird ones popping up in gas stations that show you ads instead of what's in the fridge

Maybe it's super efficient insulating material and the electricity is only needed to maintain the temperature.

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

The electricity only controlls the LN2 solenoids.

Could be up to 220V @ 20A for that size of plug. Still pretty impressive.

A heat pump for a freezer might have a COP of 4 or 5 turning that 15A into 4 or 5 times more cooling
