Unrelated, but speaking of holes in the market ... I really wish there was a "not quite fridge" for storing things like medicines and butter at "room temperature" in hot climates without relying on heavy A/C use. This seems like the kind of thing that should exist on a small scale somewhere, but if it does it has been SEO'ed away (SEP'ed?).

- abracadaniel 3y agoThere are small fridges that use something like a peltier cooler for makeup or medicine. However, they seem to silently fail after a year of use. There’s probably a good brand out there, but all I could find were shitty Amazon no-names.

- numpad0 3y agoThere are variable temperature beer can cooler style devices, but they use Peltier element and suffer from both thinner insulation and worse COP(coefficient of performance).
- sotix 3y agoThis is why Mediterranean countries use olive oil instead of butter. Adapting to their environment.
- hollerith 3y agoTraditionally cellars and caves were used for this.
