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.

 

I'm using mobile data roaming all over the EU, but when I come to Italy, most apps and Internet sites stop working. I can use some messaging services and access google.com, but that's about it. I have the APN protocol set to IPv4/IPv6 by default. I changed the APN protocol and APN roaming protocol (from the Access Point Names setting on Android) to IPv4 and was able to access all sites normally after that.

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.

 

I would say that this is the coolest 7A around Helsinki (could be a 7A+). Hard and technical board-style climbing.

I'm not really the kind of a shoe nerd who has a different pair of shoes for every scenario, but I like to use different shoes for sport and bouldering. For sport, especially for multi-pitch, something comfortable, with stiff sole and laces. Katana is very good and comfortable, and I liked the pink Anasazis a lot. For bouldering something tighter with velcros. Especially the heel cup has to be tight or heel hooks won't work. My current favorite is Theory.

I prefer YouTube premium over Spotify for the same reason, but the feature that made me pay for YouTube is video downloads. I'm traveling a lot and I can spend a flight easily watching YouTube. I don't listen to that much songs, mostly podcasts and SoundCloud, so I'll probably pause my subscription when I'm not traveling, if they increase the prices.

Edit: Revanced looks promising, gotta check that.

It's scary as hell at first, but once you get used to falling, it's the best thing I know.
