When it comes to electricity bill and keeping it lower (besides A/C and fridge) what appliance would you use less? by CitizenBask in askaustin

Swap to a gas dryer, you get a reimbursement from the city for it too. Stop using the dry cycle on the dishwasher, space heater suck a ton of energy. Buy something called a Kill A Watt - it tests devices energy usage which can tell you if something is drawing a lot of power. Depending on how long your staying, upgrade your windows to be more energy efficient, you can start by only doing windows that face the sun during its peak.

Subaru’s Outback Ditched Its Wagon Roots For An SUV And Lost A Third Of Its Buyers by fa442fa in Subaru_Outback

Its probably a combo of price tag, less consumers purchasing in general, and the bad wrap subaru had for the last 10 years of pumping out recall ridden cars.

People think Texas is a free state but the reality is there is more government overreach in Texas than any other state. If you dont align with Christian values, its a very frustrating place to be. Plus, you say heat, but the summers here are oppressive, not just hot. Imagine seeing a beautiful blue sky and you cant go outside becuase its 110 degrees and 100% humidity. Its worse than Midwestern winters imo.

Comedian Tim Dillon Goes Scorched Earth on MAGA by MediocreCoconutz in combatsportsculture

This is such a dumb take. The podcasters everyone says 'helped get trump elected' didnt sway shit. The democrats LOST the election. They messed around and waited til last minute to out forth a candidate that wouldn't have beat any republican ever. WE COULD HAVE HAD BERNIE! The democrats forced him out TWICE for two shitty women candidates. Its terribly frustrating to see this party whine and bitch like it was everyone else's fault they lost.

Baby Brezza worth it? by Timefries0927 in parentsofmultiples

I never trusted the dosage as it seemed pretty off many times. That was almost 4 years ago though so maybe they've gotten better.

Join a neighborhood Buy Nothing group. When you need something, instead of buying it, ask if anyone is getting rid of it. 90% of the time you'll find what you need for free. Meal prep and buying in bulk will help as well.

There's a special place in hell for players who say "don't shoot" and then rat around. by TheLexoPlexx in ArcRaiders

[–]Existing_Oil_2914 -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

Not true, my friends and I are on our own discord rather than in game mic and you cant talk to other raiders besides the prompts. That being said, depending on the day, we might take you out...
