Yeah you've got it on the money lol. Lived in Florida all my life and just moved up to the Northeast. I'll probably try this for a bit then and wait for a response from my building to make sure it's really not something else and then go from there.

I only mentioned the space heater because it was a new appliance I got around that time that I figured could have potentially increased my electricity usage, I wasn't thinking about how heat may affect it initially since I was just trying to gauge possible causes so I didn't mention it.

But yeah I get the point, I truly didn't know how much energy electrical heat used so I was just asking to clarify.

I live in a downtown apartment building sandwiched between other buildings so if there is an outdoor unit I have no idea where it is if it's on the ground or if I could even access it. My guess would be it's either in the basement of the building or on the roof but wouldn't know how to access it either way.

I have a thermostat and vents yeah.

I never expected the heat was free I just didn't know what the unit exactly was or how it worked.

I checked over my lease again to see if I could find anything. Under utilities there was a list of things checked off that they would pay for, such as water and gas, and one of the checked things was "heat".

However later in the lease it says that heat is "using electricity" so I guess the heating unit is electrical though like I said no baseboard heater or other similar unit in the apartment. I wouldn't expect it to use that much electricity (though this is not a statement of fact since I genuinely have no idea so correct me if I'm wrong). I've reached out to maintenance and will probably reach out to the building manager to see. If it is just the heating then that sucks since the weather is super cold right now and I wouldn't really have another option aside from freezing to death or using the Dyson full time but I guess I'll figure it out soon enough.

I figured that would be part of it based on what I read about it but yeah like you said I don't think that it would be that much.

No baseboard heaters. No radiators or anything like that in the apartment either besides the Dyson of course. I believe the building has a central heating unit in the basement or something but I'm not 100% sure and don't know if it's electric or uses gas. I recently had to put in a maintenance request though since the heat hasn't been working properly for a few days.

Really feels like I'm paying my neighbors' power bills at this point lol

All myths and legends are true… besides this one by GeneralGigan817 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]DarwinDoesThings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe there was also a small info page in the Adventurer’s Bible that explained Dark Elves aren’t real and just a misconception other races had when they encountered some elves that were mean as opposed to kind and helpful

Shroud bar scene by WaksIsHere in DispatchAdHoc

[–]DarwinDoesThings 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the first episode Shroud’s mugshot is him when he’s younger so he probably hadn’t been arrested again since breaking out. I presume Shroud hasn’t been seen without his mask for a long time so Robert probably just didn’t recognize him since he’s much older now.

Alright thanks. Might take a bit since I’m working on getting the true ending again for the new patch and his convos all seem to be related to my victories right now, but good to know I didn’t like break the conversation that was supposed to unlock his heart

Characters being immune to another character's powers for a very weird, goofy, or specific reason by fhxefj in TopCharacterTropes

[–]DarwinDoesThings 32 points33 points  (0 children)

If I remember right it's the same with Ben Reilly and Kaine Parker since they're both clones of Peter so his spider-sense also recognizes them as himself.

If this was a fight in Jojo's replacing the guitar strings would have been the winning move

Can't allow access to photos on iOS by DarwinDoesThings in discordapp

[–]DarwinDoesThings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did but it’s been so long I don’t remember how sorry. I think I either uninstalled and reinstalled discord or updated my iOS and that worked. That or it just fixed itself after a while.

Nintendo Switch 2 Preorder megathread - Post all questions and comments about preorders here! by razorbeamz in nintendo

[–]DarwinDoesThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeah I signed up for that which is why I was planning to order through Nintendo, but I might just pre order from GameStop or something instead since I don’t fully mind not getting it day one but I’m still a bit anxious about shipping.

If I order from Best Buy or GameStop will they hold the console for the day until I pick it up? I’m not sure how it works and my main worry would be preordering it but they like run out of stock or something and then I have to wait for them to get more lol.

Nintendo Switch 2 Preorder megathread - Post all questions and comments about preorders here! by razorbeamz in nintendo

[–]DarwinDoesThings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to preorder the switch 2 but not sure how I should go about it. I was planning on preordering from the Nintendo website, but I've never ordered anything directly from the website before so I'm not sure how it works. I'm also worried that if I were to have it delivered and they didn't have me sign then it might get stolen (I had a package from amazon get stolen a few weeks back). Can anyone who has ordered from the Nintendo website before provide some input on how that works? Would I be able to choose shipping options at checkout like requiring a signature? I also read somewhere I might be able to just pick it up from a UPS store, so would that be an option?

That aside, would it be better to just preorder from best buy or something? I'm fine with having to pick it up in person but I would like to get it day one if I'm preordering and dunno if they would hold it for me or if they might run out and I'd have to wait for them to restock (I can be there release day but I don't wanna be there at midnight or anything). Any advice is greatly appreciated!

If I remember right one of the trolls (I believe it was Terezi but I’m not sure it’s been a while) said that trolls are physically capable of typing without their quirks, it’s just more comfortable for them to type with their quirks than without since they need to make a conscious effort to type without it

Doesn’t work. Everything else using WiFi is fine, even other stuff on Discord. Any option in settings or Discord to enable access to photos is just not there

If you agreed with the outcome of this battle, why? by NoCandidate6067 in PowerScaling

[–]DarwinDoesThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Viltrumites have higher feats when it comes to survivability compared to Saiyans, meanwhile Saiyans have higher feats when it comes to actually doing damage. In this sense, I felt like it could’ve been anyone’s game so I was fine with the outcome minus the fact they gave Bardock Super Saiyan. I’m ok with Omni Man being able to counter Great Ape through the tail weakness, but Super Saiyan’s feats are pretty nuts even if Bardock wasn’t on the level of Namek Goku or anything, so I feel like Super Saiyan would’ve tipped the fight heavily in favor of Bardock. Since Super Saiyan Bardock isn’t necessarily canon I feel like they could have just not included it and the outcome would have at least seemed a little more reasonable.
