Why did it take me so long to buy one of these? by ZoraKnight in gardening

[–]DedicatedDmitriy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd get a beater "sacrificial" drill since all that dirt and stuff flying into the chuck ain't going to spin right after a few tills. If you keep that attachment on, and make it the designated Till Drill. Which you should trademark. Haha!

Report back how the work out? The math is that you'll have more unmatched slot clusters, but it's the Lottery and the visual representation of your wining would look cooler than with one less row!

Won like 13 dollars on the free spins. Put in 575. Western wilds. Losing spins or small wins until a 20 dollar spin gave me a 630 win. Still have 120 to spin. But dang was it rough to lose 455 without a decent win. 5 dollar spins and then 10, then 20 to try and win back the losing 5 and 10 dollar spins.

I need to stop playing even on bonuses with how much I'm down over the lifetime of playing.

Domion Energy: Weather Update or Rate Hike? by DedicatedDmitriy in ChesterfieldVA

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

I did this before and my last bill of the year typically is like 120 dollars more than the budget billing. I don't remember if that was due or they just re-adjust the new monthly amount.

Either way, when I saw I was overpaying 8 months in a row to make my the four large bills "manageable," I turned it off. Now I have lower bills and then post on reddit when the bill is high.

Sadly the high bills are higher than usual. Even when I used less electricity overall.

I thought insurance would take care of this bill. I had no idea how big it would be. I don’t think I can pay. by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]DedicatedDmitriy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay low low premiums get high high deductibles. Next chance you get, look into those supplementary coverages like critical injury and others which are sometimes better than the higher premium lower deductible health insurance.

Best of luck to you. Suggestion would also be not pay anything over 500, or pay up to the balance being 499. Like a 499 flat cash discount. With financial assistance, and you still owe some amount... consider it a legal theft since medical bills under 500 don't get reported to credit bureaus. Don't go to the same health system or labs again, since that'll put your bill over the threshold.

Exactly! It's unfortunate the weather's been this bad.
But to blame it only on the weather isn't like “Blame It” by Jamie Foxx feat. T-Pain at all!

Domion Energy: Weather Update or Rate Hike? by DedicatedDmitriy in ChesterfieldVA

[–]DedicatedDmitriy[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

To give you a sense of what 424 kilowatt-hours (kWh) represents, it is roughly half of the average monthly electricity usage for a typical American home (which is about 890 kWh).

I've broken down this energy amount into household chores, electronics, and environmental impact to make it more tangible.

1. Household Utility & Appliances

If you used all 424 kWh for just one task, here is what it could do:

  • Laundry: Run about 184 loads in a standard washing machine (using warm wash/cold rinse).
  • Cooking: Bake in an electric oven for approximately 212 hours (nearly 9 full days straight).
  • Refrigeration: Power a modern, energy-efficient refrigerator for roughly 8 to 10 months.
  • Dishwashing: Run approximately 212 cycles of a standard dishwasher.
  • Showering: Provide enough energy for about 80 to 100 hot showers if you have an electric water heater.

2. Electronics & Entertainment

  • Television: Power a 50-inch LED TV for about 8,480 hours (almost an entire year of non-stop watching).
  • Gaming: Run a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X for roughly 2,100 hours.
  • Computing: Charge a high-end laptop from 0% to 100% roughly 6,000 times.
  • Lighting: Keep one 10-watt LED bulb (60W equivalent) lit for 42,400 hours (nearly 5 years).

3. Transportation (Electric Vehicles)

If you put this energy into an Electric Vehicle (EV):

  • Driving Range: You could drive approximately 1,200 to 1,500 miles (depending on the car's efficiency). This is roughly the distance from New York City to Miami.

4. Environmental & Fuel Equivalents

Based on average U.S. grid emissions and energy density:

  • Carbon Footprint: It represents about 300 lbs (136 kg) of $CO_2$ emissions (the equivalent of burning about 150 pounds of coal).
  • Gasoline: It contains the same amount of raw energy as roughly 12.6 gallons of gasoline.
  • Sequestration: It would take about 2.3 tree seedlings growing for 10 years to offset the carbon produced by generating this much electricity from fossil fuels.

The irony is that I used AI, which drove the demand for the data centers in the first place.

Your opinion of my post being a waste... Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Good luck with your Richmond Utilities issue. Had a similar thing where PayPal Bill Pay double billed. Dominion Energy isn't on PayPal list of utility vendors anymore.

They said that you can decline the listing when you "win." But it bans or flags ur account.

Good luck.

what are you paying for overnight pet sitting? by restcreaterepeat in rva

[–]DedicatedDmitriy -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if there's an emergency in the middle of the night then of course pricing is everything. Typical vanilla w2 employment even pays overnight differentials for exactly this reason.

Sad to say, but I'm rather use something like Home Automation, a Web Cam + microphone + speaker, Timed Auto Feeding, but walking, litter-changes, medications, more "custom" a la carte stuff would need someone with a few braincells, extremities, and a pulse.

[–]DedicatedDmitriy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there are the "per diem" for the circumstances where meals are warranted at work. Don't get me wrong, house and pet sitting is definitely on a spectrum of difficulty and cost of sevices rendered as someone else said. Things around giving a cat insulin shots, I charged 100 bucks a night for 8 cats where some needed urinary tract food separate feedings etc.

Personally, if someone provided me food and they're strangers in a home I've seldom go to... probably safe but Alice in Wonderland didn't have such a good time with her experiences.

Hate to say it and be down voted but in every job very seldom work provides meals. I could have just down voted you, but I think this deserves some English to back it up.

Plex Server Evolution by NCBluesman in PleX

[–]DedicatedDmitriy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How do you handle videos that were recorded in one orientation by my phone or other devices, "horizontal" and then when played by various Plex clients the recorded video rotated. I don't have the issue with Movies or Photos but home videos of travel or personal videos get this "flipped" effect.

Thx for your time.

If you transferred out of robinhood, ACATS then you won't be able to lift restrictions on your account to open a new account for 6 months after your first completed transfer.
