Yeah I think he's talking IQ test results

Yeah makes sense

>Either they are deeply dishonest or complete idiots that don’t have a clue about the very basics of economics

Why not both?

Yeah that's all it does. Takes your total annual (estimated) usage and divides it by 12, so you end up "overpaying" in the summer and "underpaying" in the winter, but it's ultimately the same cost.

>Gas company clearly must make money on it or they wouldn't offer it.

Someone on here had said they tried to sign up and there was a surcharge, but I can't seem to find it on any official documents. It might be a program RIE is required to implement by the state, so it's not (directly) a money-making endeavor. But it still does seem of limited use to me.

Wait a minute, did they make the largest croquet field in the world!?

Imagine if you spent this effort on something that really matters

I like how it celebrates the St. Louis Gateway Arch

It sounds amazing

Oh that's awesome! And also, y'know, a tragedy.

>Most of that former rail line is now the East Bay Bike Path/Warren bike path

I wonder how an electric bike on the path would compare to the electric trolly a hundred years ago.

I bet it would be a bit less comfortable in the winter, but also faster. Lower throughput? Or I could see it being comparable if enough people tried and had good bike manners. Ecologically? Must be better, right, on account of our improvements generating grid-scale power?

Idk, I'm not sure there is an answer, and it's all moot anyway. Just a fun thought experiment.

> Pernil is a slow-roasted marinated pork leg or pork shoulder. In Latin American countries the dish is commonly shared during Christmas. It is a typically accompanied by arroz. The pork shoulder is used as a whole piece, with skin and bone.

So I should cancel my order for the scarab beetles from The Mummy?

I didn't say it was for a proposal, breaking an elbow can really zhuzh up any number of special occasions

I will keep that in mind for the next time I need to break my elbow

Isn't that kinda like Dicktown?

[genuine question, I've only half-watched one of them, but i think that's what I remember it being from hearing promos for it]

Rates went up in October, but not enough to make that big of a difference.

Were you in this place last year? What was the bill from this period last year? Failing that, can you compare notes with others in the same building/complex?

Electric resistive hearing can indeed be incredibly expensive, and the PS5 would be a flash in the pan compared to it.

Whoa, getting biological on a first date!?

That's the opposite of what the video showed, it shows the pressure rise from the pipes freezing.

I thought it was more about providing pressure relief for when they do freeze, like in this This Old House clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuPO5hKdo8A

I just saw your comment...that is exactly what I was hoping to learn about, especially here:

> The court ruled against the crèche but allowed the displaying of a hanukkiyah along with a Christmas tree, since the court perceived these to be secular symbols of religious holidays and therefore not an endorsement of any particular religious belief.

I didn't realize that the hanukkiyah was just as secularized as a christmas tree; thank you!

Hehehehe....no

One weird trick to save money on heat: buy a second house and heat it year round so you don't have to live in your cold, unheated house!

(edit for several typos, I really need to proofread better when I'm writing from my phone)

Yeah I am still really baffled by that reaction.

Oh is that published somewhere? That would be interesting to read.

...do you have me confused for someone else? My only participation here was to ask about the religious vs. ethnic symbolism of a menorah when you jumped down my throat.

> You’re trying to be combative and difficult.

Ironic, coming from the person deriding me for asking a question.
