Have the same question, but hazarding a guess - the rule of thumb would be using the bottom of the cells as guide?

You remember those old “In Soviet Russia” backwards jokes? It’s like that, but unironically.

Putin has consolidated power to the point that he doesn’t serve at the behest of Russian billionaires; they only exist due to his whims - and they can cease to exist just as quickly.

‘Blowout’ by Rachel Maddow touches on this, it’s an interesting read/listen.

Yeah, that’s basically it - there’s a small removable filter/container in between the two vegetable drawers that you fill up with water.

It then pumps the water into an ice tray in the freezer, and dispenses ice into a tray every few hours.

Edit - it looks like this:

We’re likely in a similar boat, due to the size of our fridge nook. We had the LG 530L French Door Fridge Stainless Steel GF-B505PL previously, that the compressor failed in.

I’d you aren’t already, you should be pulling the fridge out every six months or so and cleaning behind it to keep the compressor free from dust bunnies.

We managed to just squeeze in a Hitachi 638L 4 Door French Door Fridge in the same space, even though it juts out by ~10cm - the added 100L capacity (and bonus unplumbed ice maker) was worth the trade-off.

Just be aware, LG’s linear compressors (ie. the ones that claim a 10yr warranty) are prone to failure; ours crapped out after ~3 years and was deemed uneconomical to repair.

Thankfully we have pretty strong consumer protections in Australia (and I expect similar, or better in the EU for OP); so we ended up getting a full refund from the retailer which we ended up putting towards a Hitachi model, after way too much research.

It’s even more egregious than that; I’m pretty sure a court ruled a while ago that international airports count as borders too, for the purposes of ICE.

In a similar vein to ‘Only Murders In The Building’, with a likeable enough cast and adequate writing, viewers are more than happy to overlook the plot contrivances to necessary keep the premise of the show going.

They’re great also (have a Silent Power 10 in my NAS); definitely a step up from what you had before! 😄

Well worth investing in a Seasonic unit, either directly branded or a unit that they OEM for other companies (Phanteks, in my case).

Not only do they offer a ridiculously long warranty (10+ years), they are basically the industry standard when it comes to smooth, reliable power delivery.

They may be on the more expensive side for any given wattage range - but given that they power EVERY component in your system, it is one part you should never cheap out on.

We need both; even if passionate developers are put in charge of projects — they are still likely to be stymied by an overly conservative C-suite.

Successful ‘weird games’ in conjunction with indies would lead to a positive feedback loop in the industry and allow for more creativity across the board.

None that I have been able to find; probably just hearsay, or a misrepresentation of what a pundit said on cable news somewhere.

 

Not sure if anyone else remembers this cartoon from their childhoods; sometimes it feels like it may have all just been a bit of a fever dream given how unhinged the English dub was at times!

This trailer gave me big, warm nostalgic vibes, and it seems like it could look/play somewhat like Cuphead perhaps? I’m cautiously hyped.

What are other obtuse, forgotten media properties that you think are overdue for revival? I’ll start the ball rolling with Tekkaman/Technoman Blade
