    I replaced the GE that came with my condo last year with a bottom-freezer French door whirlpool and so far so good… Though sometimes I wish we had taken a risk with the LG because the inability to split the shelves on different levels really has required some creativity vs our old fridge, especially for tall items.
    Other things to consider: if you’re in a small space and the fridge will be close by (eg open kitchen/living area in a smaller space) consider the noise levels. Our new fridge is considerably louder when the fan/compressor kicks on. Also, check the filters and other recurring costs. Our fridge’s water filter is like $50 at Home Depot. That’s an extra $100/yr for ice and water from the dispenser.

    Harry Nilsson - Gotta Get Up
    Starts off nice and cheerful then ever so slightly gets more chaotic as I race to get ready and get out the door.
    Its use on Russian Doll gives it a “Groundhog Day” feel for the morning routine, too.

    Also check out Domino Park in Williamsburg... nice views from there, too, especially in the evenings/dusk.

    Hopper has been absolutely disastrous for me... to the point we had to push a trip to Paris by a week once we realized it was about to fuck us over. If we had trusted it and waited, we wouldn't have been able to go at all. It also almost screwed us on a trip to Puerto Rico but that time we already knew it wasn't trustworthy so we didn't wait at all.
    So give it a shot, but don't trust it. If you're going anything other than the cheapest coach, expect it not to work right.

    Running on a Pi 3B+ for years now - no issues with speed or reliability. Wired ethernet to router. Running the 64bit OS. Pihole is the main thing running on it, with a few custom lightweight python/java things that fire off at various intervals. I've been very happy with it.
