I thought we were talking about a non-refrigerated machine for oft-used parts and snacks and things. Soldering tips, sewing needles, mars bars, earplugs..<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 1:47 PM, TeeTrizZz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:info@leyenhaft.de">info@leyenhaft.de</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] Vending machines (dont get one)<br>
<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
Vending machines sound cool until you own one.<br>
I have personally owned one.<br>
You don't realize how much electricity they use until its your<br>
responsibility.<br>
They are basically a big inneficient refrigerator.<br>
<br>
But the electricity isn't the problem.<br>
The problem is the major humming noise they make.<br>
The humming noise goes on 24/7.<br>
You don't notice the noise at public vending machines because you're not<br>
standing near it very long.<br>
Also, most vending machines are near high-traffic areas where they will<br>
be used and other noise drowns out the vending machine noise.<br>
<br>
So don't get one.<br>
Both because of electricity use and noise pollution.<br>
<br>
Also, an obvious question...<br>
noisebridge can't pay for its own drinks...<br>
we argue over people stealing petty cash (drink money)...<br>
we apparently can barely pay the rent..<br>
yet somehow we have hundreds of dollars to donate for a drink machine?<br>
<br>
It just sounds like we have our priorities wrong.<br>
<br>
That said, Michael Kahn was probably right last night when he suggested<br>
we get a soda fountain and mix our syrup and carbonated water on-the-fly.<br>
Fountain drink machines support multiple beverages, silent,<br>
cost-effective, and usually have an ice maker.<br>
