I see you only want to host the serious roleplayers

I listened to that one yesterday and immediately knew that was what you were referencing lol. It was too specific to be coincidental

Yeah Power creep, they beat the devil so the next baddie has to be more powerful, and then the next one, etc.

I still enjoy the later seasons for the monster-of-the-week episodes but almost all of the plotlines are weak.

Ah interesting, is that due to a higher supply of Outbacks or a higher demand for Crosstreks?.

Curious because I just sold my 2020 Outback to a local dealership recently. I got a sales job that had a company vehicle and it happens to be a Crosstrek so I wanted to dump the monthly payments.

Have to say I liked the Outback a lot better, way more cargo space but still a small enough vehicle that parking wasn't an issue.

Really? Outbacks are the 'higher end' model. The Outback starts at $5000 higher than the Crosstrek.

Yeah I think there may exist a happy middle between being a shut-in and attaching explosives to genitals and jumping over open flames

I'm sure I'm not the only one but I always try to avoid following someone with stuff in the bed of their truck, even when it isn't ridiculous like this.

I know there are some handy people out there, but I also know how stupid some people are and I never want to blindly trust the guy in front of me knows how to safely strap everything down

I’ll fuck with a large 3 topping $8 pizza from dominos

Thin crust, bbq sauce, chicken, bacon, onion

Or thin crust, garlic parm sauce, chicken, mushroom, spinach

Thanks that is helpful. I feel like it is impossible that we use 1450 KWh a month. Like I said we use to use 800/mo including heat/AC with electric. Now that we have gas heat I’d assume we would be like 600 not 1450.

The previous owners added on a full bathroom in the finished basement, I believe one water heater only supplies this and the rest of the house (1 full bath, kitchen, etc) are supplied by the other heater.

One is on it's way out (2011) and one is fairly new (2019).

Thanks for the info!

Just checking, how is your bill broken down for the electric. For instance my recent >$300 bill says $160 is "DLC charges" and $190 of it is "supply charges" but it doesn't specify what these mean. I assume one is the usage but not sure what the other is.

The bill actually doesn't tell me what the per kwH rate is, but for reference the most recent bill says

Usage: 1626 kwH

DLC Charges: $159.14

Supply Charges: $189.82

Non basic service charges: $6.36

Wtf is the difference between supply charge and DLC charges?

Is there a way to check how much power a single appliance is drawing?

It was weird to me as well but the previous homeowner must have installed an extra for long showers or something? We have 2 water heaters that are both 40 gallons.

So you probably have Duqeunse Light and People's gas as well and both are about double yours?

This is kind of what I feared, we keep our house cool so it shocks me that we're this much higher than expected.

I'm not entirely sure. We are gas heat but for some reason our water heaters are electric so that probably is a big part of it.

But our dishwasher is new and the washer/dryer aren't super old so they should probably be fairly efficient. And we wash our clothes on cold. My fiance works from home and usually has a TV on as background noise all day but my calculations say that leaving a smart TV on for an entire month straight should just total about 42 KwH

Duquesne Light claims we used 1470 kwH over the last 30 days.

Some googling says the average household use is 850/mo and as 2 people in a reasonable size home I feel like we should come under the average not over.

Damn, are you saying in the near future I'll just be arguing with chatGPT on reddit threads instead of 14 year olds!?

Well now hold on a second. You haven't heard about MY new daycare that charges $2250 a month, and if the kid doesn't show up you just pay $45% of that days fee, $0.50 for every minute late.

Or alternatively, just drink some water but don’t turn it in to your identity.

Most food truck cooks I know report their business as a clothing retailor to keep their amateur status for the Olympics.

I guess it depends if the entirety of the PG is unionized or not, of which I am unsure.

I've worked in factories where all the hourly workers were unionized, I've also worked in factories where joining the union was optional and it was about a 70/30 split for those who joined and didn't respectively.

In the case of the latter if the 70% unionized guys striked and the 30% non union members kept working they wouldn't really be scabs

My understanding is that a large portion of their workforce is striking, but it is not a unanimous strike.
