Fill a cardboard milk carton with water, freeze it, and see what happens.
According to you, it won't burst. But you're wrong.
Leave a six-pack of beer in your car trunk overnight in the middle of the
winter. According to you, the cans won't burst. But you're wrong.

The coke cans do but I can assure you that cans of Stella pop the ring pulls
if left in a freezer.

Like I said, I did that quite a bit when defrosting the fridge, not one ever burst.

Nope, not one ever burst.

Nope, not one has ever burst here, and dont when you put them in the freezer either.
The only ones that have ever burst have been in glass containers, what we call stubbys.

That still doesn't make sense. how do they expel the frost, scrape it
off and then toss it out somehowwww??? They might mean a self-
defrosting freezer, that would make some sense at least.

Nearly all the air drops out of an upright. The thing is, air
has little mass. Its the foods mass which stores the absence
of heat. But, if you keep opening the door, it matters.

Wrong.
The circulation fan is the main cause.
I know by use. The old refridgerators have less effect
on partially closed containers. Its hard to seal a lot of them.
I think it may have somthing to do with the ziploc bags
in my freezer expanding. They all fill up with air over time, and I
keep letting the air out. IS THIS MAGIC ??
Most of what i say about the refridgerator/freezer subject is from direct experiance.

The ideal system is a separate freezer and fridge in the kitchen,
and also a walk in pantry.
One TV show, Chef at Home, has these features with an otherwise normal
looking medium sized kitchen. Nice. I wish. At least I have 2 microwaves and
two turbo ovens and a regular oven, there.

It does actually, tho its been dumbed down like with so many sales speils.
> how do they expel the frost, scrape it off and then toss it out somehowwww???
Just replace the new air that has just entered when the lid was opened
with dry air that has been passed over the chiller coils so the frost
doesnt form inside the freezer where it gets deposited on the food etc.
Thats how the frost free system works.
> They might mean a self-defrosting freezer, that would make some sense at least.
They arent self defrosting, they just ensure that the frost never forms inside the freezer,
the air deposits the mosture outside the freezer before it gets into the freezer.
Thats how any frost free system works.

Yes, but thats very little mass, even with an empty freezer.

Not really, because even with say 10 door openings, the mass of
air thats lost is trivial compared with the mass of whats in the freezer.

Nope.

There isnt necessarily any circulation fan at all. None
of my upright freezers have any circulation fan at all.
And even with a fan, that uses very little energy.

You clearly dont.

Thats just the circulation of the air effect.
Plenty of upright freezers have no circulation fan, none of mine have one.

Its completely trivial to seal them all.

Mine dont. I put the meat in the bags when the meat is wet
and the meat sticks to the plastic and they dont expand.

Nope, just evidence that a ziplock isnt a perfect seal.
There are alternatives to ziplock bags.

But you dont understand the basics, or even that plenty of upright
freezers have no fans or self defrost either. None of mine have either.

Yes, that is what I have, but separate doors isnt that much worse
and has some advantages efficiency wise, two less external surfaces.

I prefer a different approach myself, one wall covered with shelves.
Even very large pull out wheeled shelves a bit like books in a bookshelf has some advantages too.

Why do people prefer chest freezers? Uprights take up less floor
space (you can't stack stuff on top of your chest freezer), and
with a moderately full freezer, you have remove a bunch of stuff
to get what you're looking for - even if you can find it at all.
How may times have we heard the comment "Found xyz in my chest
freezer. I think it's nnn years old.". And then possibly "is it
still good?"

I don't believe this president is, but the former one surely
contributed greatly to it by HIDING THE COST OF WAR.
American capitalism is not as spontaneous as it seems. The dinosaurs
(SUVs) have been promoted by loopholes in the laws, while the bicycles
and alternative transportation struggle with little help from the
designer.
In other words, WE ARE THE PRODUCT OF STUPID DESIGN.

Thats just plain wrong too. There is in fact plenty of design effort that goes into those.
Their problem is that some of the fundamental problems are just not possible to
design around, most obviously with the MUCH higher risk of serious injury with a
bike with even a very minor accident that would just be a complete yawn in a car.

There is no design, we evolved, stupid.

Cyclists in America earn the Darwin's Award for Stupidity --or
bravery, since the two often go together.
Money is the only thing driving evolution in America.
Of course, 99% of it is wasted.

So what's your solution, wise guy? Do you have any fucking solution to
the oil spills or climate change or the fact that space is denied to
the cyclists?
I don't like wanking for peace, but that's obviously the only escape
for most Americans who want to burn the calories.

OTOH, being flexible about how much to spend that trip can mean
stocking up on whatever item happens to be on sale that week.
It just takes the self-discipline to focus on basic items that
you will eventually need, anyway. Which will save money in the
long-term, by avoiding purchases at regular non-sale prices.
Although certain items at my local supermarket are never on sale,
but are still cheaper than stuff that is. Such as store-brand
baked beans, for example.

I recall bringing up this kind of idea here in the past, and
someone mentioned the risk of Legionares' Disease growing in the
hot water system, due to lack of sufficient heating to kill it.

What's so bad about issuing tickets to cagers that violate the law in
ways of pushing cyclists onto sidewalks?
(For that matter, also issuing tickets to cyclists as well as all
other vehicle drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians where the the
