Andy has plenty of aims regarding the future of New York’s transport, which is currently in crisis, he wants to make the trains and buses run on time and "save the subways".

Americans have been making their own ice cubes since the advent of home refrigeration in the 1930s. Back then, aluminum trays were the norm. In the 1950s, stainless steel trays showed up on the scene, but they were mostly replaced by plastic in the 1960s. By the 1980s, ice cube trays with lids started appearing. In the early 2000s, silicone trays popped up. Their pliable nature meant you could pop out innovatively-shaped ice cubes with relative ease.

Refrigerator ice makers are particularly prone to clogs. Over time, the ice dispenser chutes tend to jam. Typically it’s smashed ice particles and frozen ice melt that’s to blame. On newer fridge models with in-door ice makers, the fix is easy. First remove the ice bin, along with any stuck cubes. Now use a warm, damp cloth to clean the bottom of the bin and ice chute. Dry everything thoroughly, then replace the bin.
