Also, depending on the climate where you live, you might consider a few solar cells. Freezers don't have a high peak power usage and if it's warm it's generally sunny too. Even if it's overcast the cells will still generate power, albeit not much. This should allow your freezer to cool down at daytime enough to stay at a reasonable temperature at night.

Seems some people are already doing this with good results:

"West Virginia Homeland Security chief Jimmy Gianato, who's leading the state broadband project"

Forgive me my ignorance, but why is the chief of Homeland Security leading a broadband project? Isn't that kind of ... weird?

Makes one wonder what the exact relation between homeland security and broadband is ... and what ulterior motives this man Gianato is hiding.

North Korea is not like a child, it's like a watchdog on a chain, guarding China's backyard.

If you don't understand that China is sending a 'get off my lawn' message to the US via the North Korean leadership, you're missing the point.

There are many articles on this, and laying the timing of all these NK threats and actions next to important events in the SE Asian sphere paints a pretty clear picture. E.g. this nuclear test is probably a reaction to the large joint SK-US military exercise going on.

Ok. So porn is free speech. Art is free speech.

Just as mental exercise, bear with me:

A couple places a sign just outside, but in plain sight of the children at a kindergarten. The sign says Art in progress. There's also a photographer taking pictures and shooting a film. They start fornicating.

Free speech? Should the children just 'walk away'? Is breaking this up 'restricting free speech?'
