Having worked in a couple of European countries, I thought 7.5 hours of work plus a half an hour lunch break is the norm everywhere in the western world. So the 9 to 5 did totally make sense to me. I was honestly surprised reading all these comments.

To answer the original question, a fridge requires quite a lot of power to operate. Could be 500W. There's also power loss from the voltage conversion, so you need a battery and an inverter that are able to provide more than that - let's say 600W. Car batteries are typically 12V lead-acid batteries. 600W means 50 amps from the battery. That's a huge current. Lead-acid batteries can handle high currents for a short period of time, but high currents have a negative effect on the battery capacity. So my guess is that the fridge could work for a very short period of time.

Before cell phones, we had a cordless phone... which others were able to hear from the radio.

Me too. Couldn't quite make it to the bathroom. I remember our first grade teacher asked me to come to her office and told me to next time throw up in the bathroom.

I was going to say we've all lost an essay before we learned to routinely save the document. :)

So... it was a really good call from the CEO to not remove the account?

Imagine the irony, if finally some day Putin is found dead, fallen from a window.

I prefer YouTube premium over Spotify for the same reason, but the feature that made me pay for YouTube is video downloads. I'm traveling a lot and I can spend a flight easily watching YouTube. I don't listen to that much songs, mostly podcasts and SoundCloud, so I'll probably pause my subscription when I'm not traveling, if they increase the prices.

Edit: Revanced looks promising, gotta check that.

One time we arrived at a train station drunk, and decided to cross the train tracks, instead of walking through the underpass tunnel. Just when I was jumping to the tracks, my friend stopped me and a train that I hadn't noticed passed the station full speed.

We crossed the tracks anyway. Between the tracks there's a fence and I cut my pants from the crotch when I climbed over it. Later my mom noticed the cut and said: "I hope you haven't been crossing railway tracks". "Of course not", I replied. To this day I wonder how the fuck she knew!! We didn't even live close to any railway tracks.
