garish background colour

Honestly, thought this would be the only thing that people would talk about. I can't bring myself to seriously read a blog post about syntax highlighting when presented with such a horrendous color scheme. I usually just dive right into firefox reader because 99% of the web is shit, and I guess I did only to look for some callout to the irony or trolling.. "Yellow for comments" And I'm still not convinced it's not trolling.

    When you do buy one make sure it is one that could be legally sold in the EU so you can get one that lasts.

    I was going to call BS, but I set my VPN to Dublin, Ireland and started shopping there using google maps.

    Some places I looked:

    https://powercity.ie/

    https://www.appliancesdelivered.ie/

    https://www.miele.ie/e/refrigeration-appliances-1022129-c

    Lot of interesting brands I ran across:

    BEKO
    BOSCH
    CANDY
    HOOVER
    HOTPOINT
    INDESIT
    LIEBHERR
    MIELE
    NORDMENDE
    NORKO
    POWERPOINT
    SIEMENS
    TCL
    WHIRLPOOL
    

    Really surprising to my that a Bosch / Miele can be had for less than $1000. In the US, it's hard to find anything less than $3k in those brands. I have seen some places around here sell Beko, but only in white.
