Reply to comment by FarceMultiplier in TIL that before the invention of regfrigeration in 1851, ice had to be imported to Australia from Boston, Massachusetts. The ice blocks travelled through the tropics inside ships insulated with timber, straw, peat, and sawdust by stumcm
Because it doesn't have anything to do with the TIL, I'd guess. The impressive part here is the transportation. Iran wasn't importing ice from Boston in 1000 BC, they just kept relatively local ice from melting for a few months.

Congress hasn't had a salary raise since 2009 and in inflation-adjusted terms their salaries haven't been lower since 1955.
