it is like the stupid new way ICE in cars try to save gas by stopping the engine at a stop light, stupid car manufacturers say it'll save 1ounce of gas of year so that allows the EPA to give it more kudos! but that actually destroys the engine and introduces immense engine wear cuz the worst part of a ICE is when you start it upYoutube decided to feed me a channel about appliance repair/resell. Guy running it said modern appliances like that dont last for shit because of all the high efficiency crap in them requiring electronics or gimmick features.
Brings up an interesting point; how much better are new appliances that are 25-50% more efficient if they only last 5-10 years before being replaced? aka none of this shit is really better for the environment but its great scam for globohomos to keep selling you shit over and over.

While that's one 70s ass cover for a book released in the 80s, it's also my favorite Bear novel, and it's a bummer to hear he died recently.
