Says the man with appliances on his front lawn. The British really are the ‘mericuhns of Europe aren’t they?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 2 points 48 minutes ago

It depends on where you live, but generally you leave stuff out the front if you want to get rid of it (fridges, freezers, ovens, mattresses, sofas etc) - either officially, by arranging a "bulky goods" collection from the council, or waiting for someone who wants/needs it to take it. Large appliances generally get picked up by "rag and bone" men who weigh the metal in for scrap.

Remember that a large chunk of urban population don't drive at all, and the majority that do drive small vehicles for short journeys - so not many people can take stuff like that to a recycling centre themselves.

I mean, the British helped to make us

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

They also helped to make Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and they turned out better than we did.

British: “You’re weak!”

Americans: “I’m you!”

In the snow - the perfect example of pointlessly redundant

De Gaulle vetoed the British application to join the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1963, famously uttering the single word 'non' into the television cameras at the critical moment, a statement used to sum up French opposition towards Britain for many years afterwards.[41] Macmillan said afterwards that he always believed that de Gaulle would prevent Britain joining, but thought he would do it quietly, behind the scenes. He later complained privately that "all our plans are in tatters".[35]

American President John F. Kennedy urged de Gaulle to accept the United Kingdom in the EEC, stating that a Europe without Great Britain would create a situation in which the United States were bearing the enormous costs of Europe's protection without any voice. Kennedy applied pressure to de Gaulle by threatening to withdraw American troops from European soil, but de Gaulle believed that the United States would lose the Cold War if they were to leave Europe.[42] It encouraged de Gaulle to see Great Britain as America's "Trojan Horse".[43]

In his defense, he is doing his best to save the climate by keeping his refrigerator outside in the Winter!

[–] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

An indoor refrigerator in the winter is essentially a resistive heater. It's not nearly as good as a heat pump, but may be better for the environment that burning gas, depending on the local electricity mix.

[–] totally_human_emdash_user@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That is an excellent point that I had not considered—it might actually be more efficient to make use of the heat in your food to heat your home than to pump it outside!

[–] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 hours ago

That's not my main point as I don't think the heat capacity of food is so important over the long term.

I mean, that the inevitable inefficiency of the fridge in a closed system, is no different, that any other device consuming the same amount of energy, as it all ends as waste heat.

Power companies hate this one trick
