Why do we still use fridges in winter? Illogical. A box in the garden would do the same job and save energy.

Fridges indirectly heat the rest of the kitchen, which is handy in winter.

Also, out in the garden a "box" would be at risk of being raided by squirrels and foxes.

Just stick your phone in recording a video. Duh.

No no no.

You take all the shelves out, climb inside and shut the door.

The real question on everyones lips - how do we know for sure the light goes out when we close the door?

Not if you are in the SE.

It can be over 10 Celsius in the first week of December.

Who "operates" a fridge? Switch on, set temperature, fill with beer. Restock with beer as necessary.

Either you are keeping your beer too cold or you are drinking Fosters?!

I bought a microcontroller to turn a fridge into a brew-fridge, anywhere between 0 and 30C depending if I am brewing, conditioning, or storing the beer to drink.

How do numbers get cold?

Put them in a fridge

"Do the numbers on a fridge go up or down as they could get colder?"

If they were in the fridge, they would go down. Heat causes things to rise, cold causes them to go down.

Explain the function of a fridge.

It keeps all your beers in one handy cupboard

Lets see who among you could do my job... detective engineer.

IIRC it absorbs the heat from the air

What about Thomas Kelvin?

Celsius? Fahrenheit? Kelvin? As long as there's something good to eat, who cares....?

WTFH.

The control is marked in °C on my fridge. Removes all uncertainty.

Ah the Fisher Price models that make it nice and easy for the not so smart?

No, Americans use Fahrenheit.
