Would be a terrible shame if the aircon was to fail.

Toodledoo worked very well for me. Even had annual reminders for car tax & insurance etc.

Looking at the streaks around el28, could the large blue electrolytic have failed?

They don't want to sting you.

Pick the fruit up in the earlyish morning when it's cool. Do it carefully so you're not squashing any wasps that are about and you should be fine.

Move slowly and don't 'flap'.

Unless you have health problems a couple of stings are painful, but not that bad.

Not long ago I had a Queen wasp fall into my T-shirt resulting in five stings on my back. I dosed up on antihistamines and was OK in an hour or so. - yes, the wasp was captured and safely released.

I'm guessing that you're in the US and have strange rules about eliminating nature from your gardens... I'd just leave them to it. Wasps actually do a really important job and most of the time they just go about their own business. This time of year is hard for them as their preferred food has gone so they seek sugar, any sugar to survive, but the windfalls won't last forever and then the wasps themselves will also be gone until the spring.

The only time I'd deal with wasps is if there was a nest either in my house or shed, or by a door that I need to use. They're fascinating creatures when you get a chance to watch them.

Enjoy the nature, there's not much of it around nowadays.

The smell of people in general. Not sweat as such, just that 'human' aroma. - hate it. Public transport is awful. Funnily enough, I can't differentiate between people, they all smell the same.

And that's the point, a password vault is literally all your eggs in one basket. It only gives security if you are secure across the board.

Size: height depth width.... Can be easy to miss one dimension. Energy rating - obvious reasons Noise depending on the room it's in Ergonomics - can you reach all the bits you need to... Imagine filling it with your weekly shop. - better energy rating=more insulation=less space. Doors can generally be reversed, but check. Some FFs have two compressor circuits, others only one. Can be important if keeping it in a garage. Do you need a water cooler/ice maker thing? More to clean, more to go wrong. YOUR FRIDGE DOES NOT NEED AN INTERNET CONNECTION Nor does it need funky windows & stuff Self defrost is a must. We spent ages discussing colour, now you can barely see it behind pictures & papers etc.

Think " is this a useful feature for me, or is it marketing fluff? "

Finally, while a fridge should be a long term purchase, is just a box that gets cold. Don't lose sleep over it.

That when I grew up I'd know what I was doing and my body would work.
