I know a guy that has those whistles on his wheelchair, claims he has never hit a deer yet.

I know mule deer stay away from forestry main logging roads, if you see one, they are in blur mode.But mule deer learn. Forestry mains are generally good two lane gravel. A more interesting comment was from northerner. With the proliferation of jet boats even dumb caribou are avoiding rivers.
You must have a lot smarter mulies out their than we have. They never learn, mind you they got thinned out big time due to cronic wasting. None around the farm now, used to be a herd of 30 - 40.
Here's one that drives me crazy daily as I haven't been trained on how to use it properly - my fridge!
The control panel (why does a fridge need a control panel?) is in the door, on the 'edge'. Being a French door fridge, every time you open it and due to the thickness of the door, angles etc., you naturally go to grab the edge of the door to close it as the handle is way out there. In doing so you inadvertently push some button on that panel and have it at best beep at you or at worst you changed some setting and now your food will go bad or freeze.
We have a GE Profile fridge with a similar layout to yours - French doors, bottom freezer. We LOVE IT! It's the best fridge we ever owned. It is now about 14 years old and still works the way it did when we bought it.
Mind you, I have a fridge in the barn that is dirt simple and is still working 60 years later. I bet you can get one like it on Kijiji or at the landfill.
Yes, the new on has (and needs) a control panel. How else do you set operating parameters? But our control is inside at the top.
This is the only door mounted control. No accidental pushes here.
But I hear you. Yours does sound like it's a pretty stupid design. Just sell it and go buy a GE Profile. Your wife will be all over you!
It's like a golf ball. Provides lift when flying through the air.
Damn, I missed that and I'm supposed to know a thing or two about aerodynamics 😡
It says gasoline under the sticker. I have questions why this needs to be a law, for a glass container

Ever drop a glass gas can?

There was a guy in Florida (of course) who threw 7 molotov cocktails at a house. Several rolled off the house and went off in the bushes and not on the roof, so maybe there's more science in making them than at first blush

If you're desperate enough to start chucking molotov cocktails, science may not be top of mind.
In fact, science has left the chat.

Maybe they used the same type of bottles seen in this classic video:

Hope they're not the crew that comes to cut me out of the wreckage.

Oh burn, but yeh. 🙄
