[Noisebridge-discuss] another refrigerator

Not that I have something strongly against refrigerators...
But,
> 420 watts and 12 cents per kWh
Where did you get these values? 12cents seems alright. But It seems
that power consumption could be 50% higher or more if it is an
old/huge fridge.

Also, we might think about trying to reduce storage of food at 2169
until the rat problem is somewhat under control. I saw a quite big rat
just last night...

But like I said, it's nothing that I'm getting too emotional about...
