Having worked in a couple of European countries, I thought 7.5 hours of work plus a half an hour lunch break is the norm everywhere in the western world. So the 9 to 5 did totally make sense to me. I was honestly surprised reading all these comments.

To answer the original question, a fridge requires quite a lot of power to operate. Could be 500W. There's also power loss from the voltage conversion, so you need a battery and an inverter that are able to provide more than that - let's say 600W. Car batteries are typically 12V lead-acid batteries. 600W means 50 amps from the battery. That's a huge current. Lead-acid batteries can handle high currents for a short period of time, but high currents have a negative effect on the battery capacity. So my guess is that the fridge could work for a very short period of time.

Before cell phones, we had a cordless phone... which others were able to hear from the radio.

Me too. Couldn't quite make it to the bathroom. I remember our first grade teacher asked me to come to her office and told me to next time throw up in the bathroom.

I was going to say we've all lost an essay before we learned to routinely save the document. :)

So... it was a really good call from the CEO to not remove the account?

Imagine the irony, if finally some day Putin is found dead, fallen from a window.

One time we arrived at a train station drunk, and decided to cross the train tracks, instead of walking through the underpass tunnel. Just when I was jumping to the tracks, my friend stopped me and a train that I hadn't noticed passed the station full speed.

We crossed the tracks anyway. Between the tracks there's a fence and I cut my pants from the crotch when I climbed over it. Later my mom noticed the cut and said: "I hope you haven't been crossing railway tracks". "Of course not", I replied. To this day I wonder how the fuck she knew!! We didn't even live close to any railway tracks.

I’m surprised that some populist party hasn’t picked this. I mean, this is exactly the kind of injustice that’s easy for everyone to agree that it just doesn't feel right. How easy it would be to do something about it or how much it would really make a difference, that I don't know.

Descendants of the Wittelsbach family, that reigned the Bavaria until 1918, still receive 14 million euros annually from a compensation fund that was established 100 years ago. The head of the family also has the right to live in Schloss Nymphenburg in Munich.
