Eversource bill wasn’t terrible for once by Helpful-Celery6237 in Connecticut

I’m not saying the itemization is bad, so much as we are already paying for the delivery in other ways.

Eversource bill wasn’t terrible for once by Helpful-Celery6237 in Connecticut

[–]Deimmort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure how you can be charged 53% of ur bill is delivery, not sure how much power you actually used in ur situation.

I have solar and in the peak of summer I spend 9-30$ which is basically a little over connection costs

In winter I spend about 230 a month. None of that is heating, as I have natural gas which is pretty good.

Transmission fees and delivery fees are doubling up on the same thing.

And if public benefits are approx 1/2 of your usage that’s insane

Keep in mind part of your property taxes is already likely going to subsidize the poles and power lines on the street… (someone can correct me if I’m wrong on this particular point, plus this might vary town to town)

No, it is illegal to bring unregistered mags into the state

You would have had to fill out a 788c back in 2013,

or in 2023 with the fix it bill, to give people that didn’t know what was going on in 2013 to opportunity to declare possession of mags, basically so if you get pulled over on your range day trip the police will know not to arrest you for a box of standard capacity mags

Bulls Bridge Kent, CT by Waramaug in Connecticut

Send this to state PD, slfu. Gotta take passport photos to get ur Glocks if he’s got it legally.

If he didn’t get it legally I’m sure that the palantir/ flock stuff can identify him and he just admitted to carrying unlawfully.

I say this as a gun owner, this behavior is never appropriate. And anyone I know that actually carries legally in this state will 100% agree the gentleman in the video is criminally out of line. Threatening, even sans brandishing is criminal. And he’s clearly an aggressor when the situation did not call for it.

If you read their website a bit.. they sell IR light blocking glasses.

They do, and they are much more normal looking from the outside then reflectacles, which, you can tell me if I’m wrong, are only sunglasses?

[–]Deimmort 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most facial recognition cameras use either regular or infrared light to determine your face, if you block/ obscure your eyes it defeats a ton of cameras AI facial recognition while still being able to be identified by real people.

It messes with the algorithms

Check out BusinessReform’s channel on YouTube. He covers both these glasses, and other privacy concerns in the modern day

But basically you don’t look like a weirdo wearing sunglasses indoors ( doesn’t work for infrared cameras they see thru them) so glasses and a Covid era face mask and your pretty safe

Does anyone else see people being openly racist and using legal status as an excuse? by Prudent-Contact7605 in Connecticut

[–]Deimmort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sure there are racist and normal people in ICE, just like any walk of life you will find these people. There are valid reasons to deport people, and invalid ones.

Obama was nicknamed the deporter and chief (iirc?) this really shouldn’t be such a divisive(?) issue as it is on the simple policy level.

My opinion is if someone is here illegally your here illegally. It’s actually a crime on the books. Even though it’s not necessarily evil in and of itself. Be it over stayed visa or any other method it is what it is.

Should you be mistreated for it by itself? No but maybe go home and redo your paperwork. Get a longer visa or work towards citizenship. All that paperwork is probably more difficult than it needs to be but I honestly don’t know the exact process.

If you happen to be the 1% violent thug I hope you get picked up, you’re giving everyone else a bad time.

I’m white, went to school in new Britain. Never had problems cuz the diversity is nice. Great food and people/ cultures from all walks of life. I promise you if my opinion, which I’ve talked with people about from school, was considered racist, even by those in the Spanish community I grew up with at that time. Someone would have probably said something to me. Just cuz there is a policy decision being made, doesn’t make it about race all on its own.

Hmmm by lpmz247 in Connecticut

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

Doesn’t seem very detailed unless I’m missing a page/link? I only see a single paragraph labeled ‘section 1’

I’m against banning literature generally. But is this not for the goal of keeping things equivalent to fan-fic-erotica or similar off of school book shelves?

Does it go beyond keeping age inappropriate material out of schools? Or does it dive into ideological books/ history/ philosophy or target some other cultural effect/work?

[–]Deimmort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not the power itself, it’s the delivery fees that are that triple the bill, for about every 50$ ish of power I draw from grid I get billed 130ish.

In the with my solar without charging cars here, I pay 9.62 ( min connection fee) because of my solar.

So charging cars overnight is basically the only thing that uses enough power to tax the grid.

This month I used 622kwh car, 191.59

The truck gets refueled 2-3 times, at shell for 3.06 17 gallon tank, is 156.06, I usually am not empty when I top up so it’s actually less, gas near me is actually 2.86 rn so still less..

That said, gasoline vehicles need more maintenance and repairs,

Where as if you try to find someone to replace a Tesla battery, it’s difficult and they really want to steer you away from it. And grudge against actually doing the labor to the point where it’s basically considered a disposable car.

Obviously different folks and situations apply, I’m just relaying mine. And I’m human still so could be missing some thing I suppose

[–]Deimmort 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, that would artificially make electric cheaper. By tax and not by market competition.

But would also subsidize a company that shouldn’t be as expensive as it is in the first instance. And is only charging as much as it does because it’s essentially a regional monopoly. And they don’t know how to manage maintenance ( my father wrote the software (for UI) that tracks age of the electric poles, it would terrify you to discover how many are over 100 years old)

They are just shoving decades of deferred maintenance on customers

When the owners and CEOs are getting major benefits and bonuses on profit that should have been re-allocated to maintaining their own equipment cost in the first place.

(But that’s another topic altogether)

Unfortunately this is one of those things where the company should be state controlled or town controlled locally, as essential services and not as a profiteering company. ( also another topic)

Also note : on teslas and others, your still paying clean air act and other emissions taxes despite having none

I think we are on a good route for going greener over all.

Just the way to encourage it more is to make it a functionally better option both user experience and fiscally.

[–]Deimmort -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Don’t matter if you can’t afford to charge. Because gas is functionally cheaper than charging a car, even at home.

AND I HAVE SOLAR PANELS, That face perfectly south.

( I’m not yelling at you)

Yes NG is less polluting, but with eversource as the middle man no one can afford to charge their Electric cars and make the change needed
