What does this button do?
« on: August 20, 2012, 01:48:08 pm »
Well, my workplace has a fridge/cooler (we use it for chilling wine) made by H.V.A.C. And it's a "leader" brand apparently. There is a switch on the front of the fridge that doesn't turn it on or off. It has a red dot on one side, and when you press the side with the red dot in, you can see red around the side of the half that doesn't have a red dot. It's one of those seesaw switches.

I'm wondering what this switch does. I haven't found anything online about it but what I have heard makes me believe it's a pressure switch, for high to low pressure. If anyone else also thinks that's what it is, then do you mind telling me when/if it should be used?

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

I have a cooler at home that has a hot water option. You have to toggle it before it bothers heating it. I'm thinking it's probably a switch for a hot water option... Either that or a doomsday device.

Are you still rocking that switch?  It might be controlling my house lights.

Every time you press the button a random object in space is accelerated towards Earth's orbit.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

Keep pressing, eventually we'll figure out if that damn teapot's there or not.

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.

Yeah, although specifically I remember the bit where Stimpy is trying his hardest not to press it while a background voiceover tempts him to do so. Something like that. It's been a while.
