I'm a birder. Lots of birds were named after people...Scott's Oriole for example. You may think a guy named Scott discovered the bird, but nope, just a friend of the guy that did. Scott wasn't a good guy according to history (re: killing native Americans), so there's a big committee that's going to rename a ton of birds that have eponymous names. The birding community is very split on the topic and it's interesting to see the drama.

I'll add mine to the mix taken on my iPhone 13 mini looking through my Kowa TSN-501 spotting scope.

Never tried, but I think it would work. Oxygen is the enemy, but the reason is because oxidation leads to other byproducts that lead to a stale flavor. I believe the cold temperature slows all that down.

I only interned there, but the handful of times I thawed the chips, there were no issues.

You can freeze chips/crisps indefinitely. I used to work for Frito Lay. Just thaw them when you get close to snack time. Of course I never do this because I just eat the chips I have at home.

Extinguishers wouldn't do much, but you may mean fire sprinklers, but that's probably never going to be installed. You'd have to inspect, test and maintain that system, and who wants to invest time and money in that.
