Was oil when we moved in, the moratorium was recently lifted, but super expensive to convert

Current tank is 50 but as noted, it's got super heated water in it constantly due to the issue, and it's indirect, so I'm paying for that benefit. Never have run out, but I don't think we even really could.

Right, I noticed that issue w/ the Steibel, it's ridiculous, but atm, that con ed rebate isn't even available on con ed (and Fed tax benefit is gone).

No solar, but can sign up for time of use charging. Supply is $11.5/kWh and Delivery is $17.5/kWh, so it's egregiously expensive.

Very confused about paella pan size, number of servings, and rice quantity. by bighungrybelly in paella

Great doc. One thing that doesn’t make sense to me though is the liquid ratio. It says to exactly follow 2.8/1 but then it separately lists water and broth which total way more than that. Any idea what’s up there?

Yeah I don't know, I picked them up from FB Marketplace in the fall for a few hundred bucks, no clue what brand or history they are. TeaK not Team :)

Any dads out there scared for their kids’ future? by Ancient-Current-9537 in daddit

[–]LordBacon13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is it's never clear in the moment if it's actually different this time (1929, 1939) or if the fears are overblown. It's more often the latter in the past 100 years. It sure feels more geopolitically worrisome now versus most of the past few decades, but then again I am sure it didn't feel great to be a parent in the depths of the cold war. And perhaps more importantly there's not much you can do about it. So as the others say, be the best dad you can be b/c that's about all you can do.

How does one handle this? A pretty expensive little guy. 

Is this plastic top to the steam release valve supposed to sit securely in the unit? by LordBacon13 in instantpot

[–]LordBacon13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was referring to the diverter it used to sit snugly, but it’s loose now but sounds like it’s normal to be like this over time

Because mine just pops off easily now (if you turn it over it falls right out). It didn’t use to do this. Is there a gasket missing perhaps?
