  • Ya. That black server fan in the frig is very common for the model of frig…also the little white resistance sensor on the coil tends to fall off of the tube sometimes causing it to defrost poorly. I like to swap them out when I’m doing the fan as a prophylactic.

    The reason they use that fan is because it’s super quiet and voltage can be regulated to it for different spin speeds which I turn is supposed to save energy.

    The issue with the fan in and of itself is that it’s inherently an aftermarket fan produced by an aftermarket manufacturer for GE. It’s just junk.










  • This is a very good question.

    I’m assuming you mean a range around $5000?

    In that case there’s really not much in that specific price range.

    Ranges in general can cost between 500 and 3000 dollars for a regular range you can get at your local appliance retailer. Here in the states that would be like home Depot or Lowe’s.

    If you wanted more high end than that you’d have to go much higher up in price. Like past $10000. It’s a weird market for ranges.

    I recommend Frigidaire for cooking appliances in general they make really good ranges. For less than $1000 dollars you can get a very decent appliance.





  • So let’s just address the meta here real quick. There was a comment on Lemmy to which I responded. In context the genesis of this comment is in reference to Ubisoft and the general state of inclusion politics in gaming today.

    You are questioning the fundamental motivation as to why I have an opinion on the subject matter that is presented to me under the protest that “it’s just a game”.

    I mean why even have an opinion? Why formulate thoughts? Why have any kind of discussions?

    I am abreast of what is happening generally in gaming and the industry surrounding it because I’m interested in these things. I like playing video games.

    I also have other interests. For example, I’m fairly good at playing the guitar, so there’s a lot of content in my social media about guitars and music.

    I also find it entertaining to watch flat Earth debunking videos on YouTube to pass the time.

    The reason I care about assassin’s Creed in particular is because I’ve been playing the game since the very first one. I like the franchise. I like the video games and watching it get ruined because of inclusion politics is heartbreaking.

    Moreover, they already have the game. It’s already been made. Therefore I have the right to criticize it. Simply stating “it’s just a game” isn’t helpful.

    I don’t care if there’s black people or women or LGBT people in video games. I could absolutely care less about that as long as it’s relevant to the game. If they’re just including it to be inclusive, then it’s a meaningless gesture. It brings down the game. It brings down the IP and it brings down the company that does it.

    Furthermore, people play video games for a reason. Either it be escapism or immersion or simply to pass a small amount of time till whatever else they have to do. Seeing these inconsistencies in the game breaks that immersion it no longer becomes entertainment. It becomes a political statement which I have very little interest in when it comes to my entertainment.

    You can pretend to be on your high horse all you want. I have no interest in seeing inclusion politics in my entertainment. It serves no beneficial purpose except to elevate the egos of people like you to make you feel as though something is being included.

    Pure nonsense.

    Also the new Star wars game which I don’t even remember the name of sucked universally. It didn’t make any money because people didn’t have any interest in it specifically and exclusively because of the inclusion politics added into the game. Also the main character is fucking ugly.


  • They already delayed the release due to so much negative feedback. It’s going to be a bad game. There should never have been a black person in this game at all. It’s 1600s Japan. It makes no fucking sense!

    There are so many layers as to why Ubisoft is going through what it’s going through I don’t have the energy to express it here in this comment.

    I can assure you, however, if they worried more about making good games and less of inclusion politics their stock would be worth a lot more than 2 bucks!
