Any particular reason it has to be in the fridge?

The thing is, it is actually not recommended to store tropical fruit in the fridge. So mangos, bananas, kiwis... The other thing is that most fruit doesn't need to be refrigerated and will still stay fresh at room temperature (assuming room temp is between 20-25°C).

You can buy a bunch of green-yellow bananas and they will ripen throughout the week without going bad and leave them outside. Apples will last a long time outside of the fridge too - even in warmer/moister climates. So do citric fruit. Berries and grapes are probably the only thing I would refrigerate, as well as cut fruit. (Tbh I wouldn't refrigerate berries either because that makes them lose their taste, so I'd just eat them right away. They are a fleeting breeze of summer that should be enjoyed within the blink of an eye.)

Why do you need to limit yourself to one type of fruit? Idk your fruit portions, we eat so much fruit at home that I am shocked we haven't died of fructose induced liver cirrhosis yet. So get some greener bananas (store outside) for Tuesday and Wednesday, grapes in the fridge for Thursday and Friday, and bring something fresh like a mango for Monday? And just have a sack of apples as an emergency. They, like, really don't go bad. If you buy fruit that is not fully ripe yet, then as well, leave it outside, next to the apples ideally, and they will ripen by the middle/end of the week.

Also, veggies?

I, as well, store fruit in the fridge because of fruit flies.

But man I hate cold fruit :(

It helps enormously, this was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for pointing out the noise level, this is actually the other reason I hate vacuuming. I absolutely cannot stand these kinds of sounds and I want to at least be able to let the robot vacuum a room I am not in and not be bothered by it.

I'm not sure what exactly regularly means when it comes to emptying, but if it is once or twice for a run of a 70 square meter apartment that is absolutely fine with me. With cleaning, I don't mind once a day. Do you think that would be enough? Also, may I ask what model you are using? I've read so many professional reviews but somehow a stranger's opinion on the internet feels more authentic xD

Edit: I've literally stepped in dirt and sand while sending the reply :(

We are thinking of getting a roborock (any recommendations welcome). I don't expect it to do a deep clean but as it is right now, we have a kid, and ergo, there is sand and crumbs everywhere. We live in a three room apartment. There is so much sand and dirt in the corridor oh my god. I vacuum it two times a day. And then there are crumbles everywhere. I just don't want to feel like I am walking on literal egg shells most of the time. My back hurts from vacuuming so often and it is loud and unhandy. Will a roborock handle the superficial crumbs, dust, sand? If yes that is enough for me. I need it as an addition to regular cleaning, not as a substitute.

Can someone brave enough please FINALLY post the eventual tier list he comes up with

the rest of the fucking world uses post-tax income, because that’s how much money you can actually plan to take home. The taxes are a consideration, but if a job advertises €50k, it means the employee is taking home €50k.

Looks around confused in German

It's an interesting overall take still! But I am wondering now how income is handled in other European countries, I actually don't know.

Honestly I love taxes. I don't love that billionaires don't pay enough taxes and the unequal tax burden across different social groups but I love taxes and I love the idea of taxes. My dream would be a society where I work for basically pocket money and everything else - quality staple food and fresh food, education, healthcare, adequate housing, transportation, communication, childcare - is provided to me.

Never had these but I've heard they're good

Cooked tomatoes are amazing. Raw tomatoes are disgusting.
