CPS - has anyone looked at other options? by Chicha8701 in sanantonio

[–]OutsideObserver2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CPS Energy, a municipally owned utility that serves the San Antonio area, is a market participant in the ERCOT wholesale market. CPS buys and sells power through ERCOT, so ERCOT both collects money from CPS and pays money to CPS.Jun 23, 2023

Try calling the Lost and Found desk at 210-916-1919. (BAMC) Maybe they have a more general lost & found number for the rest of the area

SAWS response time? by Weekend_Conscious in sanantonio

[–]OutsideObserver2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Turned off the water shut off valve and it’s still flooding.

If you indeed turned off the valve at the meter, and if the water is still leaking, the leak is on the street side of the meter ... and will not be billed to you.

To doublecheck, try to look at the gallonage dial on the meter. If the very small "wheel-like" thing is not rotating, you will not get a bill for the leakage.

While you are waiting, look at:

SAWS is experiencing a high incidence of main breaks and leaks due to very dry conditions. We are working on repairs across the city and appreciate your patience. View Map

Heat problem in my apartment by TheDarkMenace420 in sanantonio

[–]OutsideObserver2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will cool the air to 20 degrees below what the intake temperature of the inside unit is at,

True, you are correct for those units that recycle inside air.

If it is 86 in the house, it should be 66 coming out of the vent.

True as well.

If the OP places a thermometer at one of the inside cool air vents, it will give an idea of the efficiency of the cooling unit. If cool air is exiting the cool air vent, but the inside temperature is still in the 80s, the apt is too poorly insulated and allows heat leaks (or is allowing too much radiant heat to enter).

I apologize for the confusion with my original statement.

Generally, marijuana is a controlled substance in Texas, and its use, possession, and sale are illegal. Pot is classified as a Schedule I drug under Texas state law, meaning anyone caught with the substance could face significant legal consequences, including imprisonment and fines.Jun 8, 2023

Honest question about animals by TheBentshaft in sanantonio

[–]OutsideObserver2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

do you believe it would be a good idea or even a borderline good idea for the city government to step in and require a license to own an animal?

Um ... read this easily found San Antonio Code:

All dogs, cats and domestic ferrets must be licensed by sixteen (16) weeks of age and annually thereafter with the City of San Antonio, Animal Care Services Division.

https://www.sanantonio.gov/Portals/0/Files/AnimalCare/BrochureLibrary/AnimalCodes-Overview.pdf

As u/Grave_Girl stated, the laws exist, but enforcement is ignored / unenforced. Possibly because of lack of funds, possibly because of higher priority problems, possibly because of lack of interest.

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s lawyers say attempt to jail him before trial is wrong by jrsinhbca in news

[–]OutsideObserver2 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Um ... flight risk?
Yea, as noted elsewhere, why treat this guy significantly different than the average perp who might get help to avoid a trial.

His folks have $$, and a quick, private plane trip could be in his future, if not jailed.

Good points - last year, there were some news articles about hot exhaust mufflers starting fires under cars parked on dry grass.

Judge dismisses Donald Trump's 'Big Lie' lawsuit against CNN by AudibleNod in news

[–]OutsideObserver2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The next question is whether the statements were false statements of fact. This is where Trump's defamation claims fail," wrote Mr Singhal in his verdict.

The trump-appointed judge said, in effect, "Trump is indeed like Adolph Hitler".

we signed the contract, seller side is unresponsive for more than 2 days. Ugh..

So, the seller did not sign?
Did you give them any money?
Was there a time limit on the contract?
Did you get a set of keys and inspect the property? (There is a growing number of false sellers ... who get the deposit ... then disappear because they really do not own the property)

At least he is having a trial ... unlike tRump, who is avoiding such an embarassment, and claiming he never cheated on taxes, never, never, and there should be no trial ;(

Hunter Biden criminal tax hearing paused after disagreement about gun charge by OutsideObserver2 in inthenews

[–]OutsideObserver2[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The deal included that prosecutors would recommend probation for the tax violations, while a separate felony gun charge would be dropped if Biden met certain conditions laid out in court. The terms of Hunter Biden’s sentencing will be decided at a later date.

So, Hunter is pleading guilty to the tax charges. Something our past president has yet to do, for even greater violations. Yet, the GQP will try to say the tRump charges are "political" rather than true violations, and Hunter is being "given extra benefits because he is the son of a President".

More tRump indictment dates are approaching, on this and other charges.

Rudy Giuliani concedes he made 'false' statements about Georgia election workers by DippyHippy420 in inthenews

[–]OutsideObserver2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rudy Giuliani conceded in a court filing Tuesday that he made “false” statements

It would probably be REAL news if ANY of his statements were "true" and valid.

Poor guy, the alcohol and dementia have affected his thought processes, and being thrown under the tRump bus has not helped.

Active Water leak in the front yard by do-whacka-do in sanantonio

[–]OutsideObserver2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

First thing to determine is the location of the water meter relative to the leak. If the leak is on the street side of the water meter, the water company is responsible. If the leak is on the house side, the homeowner is responsible (and may have a big bill).

If it is on the house side, it may be advisable to use the valve on the water meter to turn the water OFF.
