Another fun post from this blog: <a href="https://brr.fyi/posts/credit-card-shenanigans" rel="nofollow">https://brr.fyi/posts/credit-card-shenanigans</a><p>In Antarctica different bases run infrastructure through their own countries, so you can generate credit card charges that look like they're from the US and New Zealand one after the other, which triggers bank companies' fraud systems. Interesting!
I wonder why they went with top loader washers. Front loaders use less water cause less damage to clothing.<p>Maybe it's a reliability thing? Repairability? Cost?
This post made me curious about which plug type is used in Antarctica. Looks like it's type C (same as most of Europe)<p><a href="http://www.bergadventures.com/v3_main/trip-preparations/electrical-outlets.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.bergadventures.com/v3_main/trip-preparations/elec...</a>
