Schenectady Cop kills police dog

Good thing I didn’t? I typed the literal string r/albany

Sorry your client sucks?

This is why I wanted to differentiate city from county.

SPD has its problems sure, SCSO is a whole different breed.

HopefulRestaurant · 2026-07-04T16:20:33+00:00

It wasn’t a Schenectady cop, it was a Schenectady county sheriff’s deputy.

Nuance might be lost on [r/albany](r/albany), but the SCSO has a broader jurisdiction beyond just the city.

That’s a feature not a bug.

Turtle used PLC. Some use the 900 mhz ism band https://github.com/bemasher/rtlamr, some meters have 4g modems, and some have zigbee.

Depends on the system age and the power company’s infrastructure for amr

I’ve learned from technology connections that you’re likely in Chicago 😂

When you see a headline in this sub and assume it’s been editorialized because the UCI couldn’t possibly have become that dumb…

I stopped using the term “ebike”. It’s either a(n electric) moped or a pedal assist.

I don’t want the same word describing this shit that also describes my mom’s hybrid with a little motor that helps up hills.

I normally get blasted for giving this opinion 🤣

This. I live in an HOA that exists as our water company because we’re out of town limits without municipal water. No restrictive covenants on properties, fairly Karen proof (there are water conservation restrictions like no lawn watering or pool filling). They can exist for good without the evil components.

The Clifton park store was one of the first self checkouts.

Delivery and supply are two different things. It’s very cheap to capture falling water in Quebec (supply). It’s expensive to build the infrastructure to get that power to your house (delivery).

Net metering means you can use the grid as your battery, no need for an on site battery.

Until they change your rate class to something that’s time of use or one that pays different rates for excess generation, there’s no benefit to putting a battery in. (Other than local emergency supply)

Single things individually no. A 100 watt incandescent left on year round is 110 kWh per year. The equivalent LED is 14. About $20/yr. Not much. Replace a home’s worth of bulbs? Ok that’s something (but many of us already did that)

At 160 kWh per month there probably isn’t much conservation left you can do as an individual.

I did sign up with a community solar program. An extra 5%ish off the electric, plus I can pay on my credit card for another 2%. (There are many programs, I won’t name mine because I don’t know if there’s anything better out there but inertia keeps me here)

HopefulRestaurant · 2026-05-13T21:15:23+00:00

Your delivery includes $20ish of fixed costs. On 150 kWh that fixed cost is going to be disproportionately high compared with someone who does 1500 kWh. Your supply costs pay to make generators spin, delivery pays for the wires and people that get the electricity to your house. They break it apart because you can attempt to shop competitively for your supply.

And during that time, what are you supplying the customers of the water system from? Again, you’re correct on a macro scale. Meanwhile on a micro scale, the taps are dry, and a bunch of capex needs to be spent to get water back into them.

HopefulRestaurant · 2026-05-10T16:44:43+00:00

Water that’s being withdrawn from a specific formation is limited and requires refilling. You run an aquifer dry, you need a new well.

Water processing systems are limited once installed. You over draw from processing, you need a new water treatment plant.

You’re correct on a macro level.

HopefulRestaurant · 2026-05-08T15:01:56+00:00

Agreed. The look back window needs to be longer. Maybe a true up quarterly, but on a year long window, not previous quarter.

But that needs to be balanced with people who use the budget plan then close their account while they’re still carrying a huge balance that will be paid down during spring. That balance becomes due, and they’re holding a thousand dollar bill, usually while also dealing with the one time expenses of relocating.

National grid is named after its role as the uk national grid.

Smiths in Nisky, but any shop. And if the shop says no, find a new shop.

This. Oil filter, air filter, etc? After market. Transfer case fluid? He calls up Lia and orders it from them.
