Just read a report on old fridges and the numbers are wild

I was looking at an energy audit guide from my local utility company. It said a fridge from the 1990s can use over 1,000 kWh a year. A new, efficient one uses about 400. That's a huge drop I never really thought about. It made me check the sticker on my own kitchen fridge. It's from 2005. I guess the small wins really do add up over time. Has anyone else done a simple check like this and been surprised?

Hot take: I keep seeing people post star trail shots with the trails broken up into dots.

Back when I started with my old Canon T3i, you had to take one long exposure for trails, not a bunch of short ones stacked. The software now makes it easy to stack, but it leaves gaps if your interval is off. I learned the hard way after a cold night in Flagstaff getting dotted lines instead of smooth curves. Anyone know a good free stacking tool that handles the timing right?
