Wouldn't a flatter form factor be better for rear mounting?

I can get an I9 32gb 1Tb mini pc for under 500€. Where is the bargain?

True, but with the insulation upgrade you'd basically end up with a DIY fridge that will probaby cost more, work less well and fail sooner.

Nowadays when I fly the fiirst criteria when I search for flights I check the airline's fleet, then price.

Modern heat pumps, which use the same principle as A/C, can achieve 4 to 1 efficiency. Old fridges can be tanks, but are horribly inefficient. A new high efficiency unit could probably pay itself off in 2 3 years.

I don't buy new cars. I buy them 5-10 years old, and for a bit before, try to keep an eye on how many I see of them on the road. Not very scientific, but it gives you an idea of their longevity.

I was surprised, until I read the last paragraph. SEAT and Skoda have been the reliable VW brands for 2-3 decades, with the Ibizas and Octavias reaching mythical status. I read somewhere that some SEATs are actually rebadged VW china models. Great way for VW to squander reputation.

There are some great looking container hoces in alibaba. Not joking.

I hate the guy, It scares me shitless that he may be elected, but we must admit that creating the "weave" thing to sell his mental decline as a brilliant oratorial strategy is a genius marketing move. The problem is that he is selling exploding Ford Pintos as the safest car in the world.
