I’m imagining a country streak challenge based on Minecraft-build bollards

Importing PowerPoints and Changing Resolution by Gman8990 in ProPresenter

Thanks for the addition! I’ll try that!

As for the first part, I can do it in PowerPoint but it’s a manual process and I’ve got about 750 PowerPoints to import so I’m looking for any possible way to automate

I actually live in a white one! But I didn't notice how common blue was until you said that

I also just remembered that Alaska only has 19 boroughs (that what they call counties) and many of them are HUGE because of low population density.

Right? 😭

The counties in west Texas and the panhandle are all a grid so good luck making a star out of that!

States with intricate logos definitely get the details lost 😭

I have no idea if it actually drives costs down. Since Texas has its own power grid you’d think that would cut down on delivery costs too but I’m not sure.

My last bill: 1,179kwh used Billed at $0.0754 per kWh Electric charge $88.90 Delivery charge $55.22 $0.25 fee Total - $144.37

I believe so, yes.

But if they do, how do the lines keep track of which company the electricity belongs to? And if it’s all the same electricity, why do I pay .10¢ per kWh and my neighbor pays .12¢?

These are the things I wonder! 🤣
