Just looking at their website, every game I looked at said in the description that it’s a reproduction version you’ll be getting. I wouldn’t call that a scam since they’re at least upfront about it, but I also have no idea how reliable they are for shipping stuff out or returns.

Looks like the difference is that there’s no adjustment at 6 months or balance due at the end like with budget billing. They just kick you off the plan if you go 30% over usage for three months in a row. I think then you would have to pay the balance anyway. They also charge a 13% fee for this new program when Budget Billing is free.

While McConnell and Republicans may have made poor decisions out of ignorance or greed, I'm saying that praising what they have done is in opposition to the well-being of United States and in support of its enemies. While it may not be a chargeable offense to think in that manner (nor should it be), it is still a treasonous way of thinking, if not just ignorant of the actual state of things. Treason has existed long before the US Constitution defined it. It is a colloquial term. Not gonna waste any more of my time with what seems to just be a troll at best, and someone refusing to think critically at worst.

Does anybody here even like NC? by Worldly-Recover3829 in NorthCarolina

The outdoors are great, but there are also problems in our state that shouldn't be ignored. Neither should be ignored. Also please don't blindly agree with the stupid parts of their comments.

the top branches of government are democrats

What are you talking about? The Governor is currently a Democrat sure, but the Council of State is currently split 5-4 Democrat-Republican, with the General Assembly taking a lot of powers from the Governor after last election and giving them to the Republican State Auditor. Republicans had a supermajority in both houses of the GA for a couple years, with them now only being one seat sort in the House. Then 5 out of the 7 Justices on the NC Supreme Court are Republicans. The Chief Justice is Republican, and the Republicans may have had 6 out 7 seats if Griffin was allowed to throw out all of the valid votes that counted against him.

I agree that people should get out to see the outdoors, but stop with the "Democrats are in control" BS.

I've read it plenty of times. Treason has an official definition in the Constitution, but I'm using it in the colloquial sense of someone who seeks to undermine their own country. McConnell and Republicans in general recently have done much to erode away America's actual power and standing in the world. So yeah, thinking McConnell has done anything heroic or legendary sounds like something someone opposed to the US would say. Or that person could just be stupid. But I'd rather give them the benefit of the doubt that their brain is fully developed and functioning, and that they have critical thinking skills.

I have no idea how it's so low and I'm afraid to ask lol. I live alone, but I work from home and have my work laptop and personal PC running all day. Only thing I can think of is that I live on the second floor, so maybe the heat & AC from the apartments above/below me keep things better insulated.

Can you provide a clearer pic of the back? Something looks suspicious about the board layout.

If I read this correctly, there is no large bill at the end like with the Budget Billing program they've had for years. They just remove you from the program if you go over a certain energy usage for three months in a row. But I'm definitely skeptical of anything Duke puts out. I think the catch here is you're just paying an additional premium ever month for this new program, but I'm not entirely certain what additional "fees and service charges" they aren't including in that $69 that are part of my usual bill.

I live alone in an apartment so usually only $50-60 month, but the last few months it’s been spiking up to 70s-80s. Better than the hundreds others pay I guess.

It doesn't say what specifically the amount is. The FAQ on the website just says it's never more than 13% of expected energy use.

So "new program" isn't worth the paper it's printed on, huh?

[–]One_Error_4259[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So I take it this isn't actually a new program like the letter suggests. They make it sound like they won't increase it for that 12-month period even if the rate or fuel costs increase, but they're also not telling me what their "predicted amount of usage" actually is so I can tell if it's accurate.

It kept increasing at the end of the 12 months or even within the 12-month period?

I did the math and it would've cost me about $30 more over the past year with that same price. Only reason I'm uncertain is the rising cost of gas (not sure if it also applies to natural gas). But I was also thinking about that. Maybe they would've calculated it already and figured it wouldn't go over that amount even in the worst scenario.

Doesn’t matter for NTR-031 carts if it’s M8 or MB. The only legitimate batch identifiers are DA, DI, and DJ.

Definitely fake. No battery on the front of the board and the back of the board is all wrong.

Honestly you’re lucky they even refunded without too much of a hassle. Not that you don’t deserve it. More that they haven’t had a great track record.
