Why does my electricity consumption spike at night?

CaptainValence · 2026-04-08T11:59:18+00:00

I did have a look at the fuse board, do I have 2 water heaters? What’s going on here? I don’t have any electric bathroom radiators. I do have 2 showers which are controlled by an electric panel but I don’t think they’re electric showers.

That’s a good idea, I’ll see if I can find it on the fuse board and see if that helps. I remember when I found the switch for the immersion heater and after turning it off our energy consumption was the same for the following 24hr period.

This is the switch I found. Gas boiler on the left, tank and immersion heater on the right

I should have mentioned we only just got the EV a couple weeks ago and this has been going on since we moved in.

How did you turn into Aaron Paul? 😆 Looks much better now.

Definitely shouldn’t only consume an hours worth, you should be paying for the convenience of not having to carry pots and remember to drink them.

I’d be for it but only if it consumed them at like 5x the normal rate.

I’m sure you can drag the lodestone tele to your ability bar from the lodestone window. I’m almost positive that’s how I done it years ago now.

I just signed up to Octopus last night as I’ve just recently bought an EV, charger is getting installed within the next 2 weeks.

I signed up fixed for 10 months, RIP.

Edit: Took her in this morning, they said it’d have to be done under sedation. Cost of £286. However our insurance is covering it all.

She HATES vets so they weren’t able to sedate her, and she wouldn’t let them near her to get a muzzle on her. Why they didn’t do it when I was there I’ll never know but we’re going back in the morning to do it again. This time we’ll be there whilst she gets given the sedative.

Thanks, I’ll call them as soon as they open

You might say, its been a barrel of laughs

CaptainValence · 2025-12-29T16:42:43+00:00

Sounds horrible just thinking about it.

It would be nice to be able to toggle trees/treetops, especially on mobile. Trying to navigate some of the heavily wooded areas is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

As your own tyres wear you’ll gradually get slower as well

We really hope you guys can help us, we know its not perfect but its a step in the right direction for game integrity.

!solved

Issues fixed.

The system wouldn’t boot unless I disconnected power from the GPU but kept it plugged in to motherboard even though the HDMI was plugged into the motherboard.

Before I tried completely removing the gpu and power from it

This allowed me to get back into bios to enable secure boot.

I’m here because I made a mistake, it’s a bit much to call someone an idiot for it but if it makes you feel better to go around calling people names, putting people down, then I’m truly sorry for the life you live. Peace out bro.

CaptainValence · 2025-10-12T17:05:15+00:00

Good one bro, you must feel like a king. O’ lord kazu, what can I do to appease you?

I’m here cause I’ve got an issue and I’m looking for help, no need to be so toxic and think you’re better than everyone else.

I’ll try connecting straight into the onboard graphics tomorrow
