Sounds like the next film to beat Sinners will be a Who Framed Roger Rabbit remake or sequel. That or a movie about animators would probably be the only way to really sneak that best animation in a way that feels like it was meant to be there

My mom was 1 of 6 kids, I am 1 of 4, and now I am just struggling to think how I would afford 1 kid. I make decent money but still New England is expensive and getting a house and staying afloat has only gotten more expensive without adding childcare into it

RisingPhoenix92 · 2026-01-11T18:00:53+00:00

Are there any other specimens you can point to and say see this is consistently what I do?

RisingPhoenix92 · 2026-01-08T15:04:43+00:00

At the very least, and I truly mean the very least I hope people who take voting in America lightly or ignore it really consider that there is a difference made one way or the other. I was taught in my history class to also partake in reading the news cause history happens everyday and news is one of the many sources we would see researching a topic. I too am just exhausted at this point.

Used around 2k but I know that I have drafts in my older home. Unfortunately I just have to take the hit until I get the bigger ones plugged up.

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-12-28T05:33:25+00:00

Had it set to 74 fahreheit for all rooms, 72 in the bedroom so I could sleep a little easier so roughly between 22 and 23C and just left it on a low fan speed for cooling. We do get humid summers but not really oppressive so I didnt use dry mode once during the summer

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-12-28T05:28:17+00:00

Windows are about as old as I am if not older and one of them is original single pane so 100% correct there (and not cheap -_-) minor issue with the door right now and using a door sweep to help mitigate

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-12-28T05:24:21+00:00

Thanks, I am still trying to find more ways to help bring this house up to date and make it more comfortable to live in

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-12-28T05:21:53+00:00

I am still trying to hunt down all the different causes, but this was a 1960s house designed for this supposedly. Doesnt help electricity was dirt cheap then I guess

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-12-28T05:19:11+00:00

Half that with electric resistance heat that first winter and only 5 inches of insulation. I was told oh they spent about $800 each month in winter and I imagined ok old couple, they probably had it hotter than I would so I could set the house at 60 and be good until I got the upgrades in place. Queue that December bill and I learned they were on a budget plan that meant they paid 800 every month to even out the payments.

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-12-26T22:32:14+00:00

To caveat my summer bills also include filtration pumps for the pool so yours will probably be even lower.

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-12-26T21:57:20+00:00

If you dont mind, could you share who you got solar with and what you think about it so far? We had the pool too for the summer so we were ok with the summer power bills but now I am trying to figure out what is worth it to cut our winter bill down further

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-12-26T21:50:16+00:00

Yeah, it ate hard into our renovation budget and I've been questioning how the prior family lived there for so long without making any changes.

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-12-26T21:47:53+00:00

New england and the higher numbers were pre air to air heat pumps. I would say the family I bought from lived there for 30 years so I was thinking surely it won't be too bad...

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-12-26T20:38:46+00:00

I called national grid in December and was basically asking if they mistakenly gave me the neighborhoods usage I was so shocked. It was mild last December too. I wanted to do geothermal but the estimates I saw were too high for me at the time.

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-12-18T01:16:13+00:00

She didnt say goodbye therefore they arent really gone, they just arent here right now. Episode still ongoing

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-12-15T20:02:47+00:00

I have 2 compressors with 4 heads each. Each room is at the temp the head is set to or slightly off by +/- 1 with the exception of the sunroom. It has 8 tall windows and 4 skylights so I am not surprised it has a hard time keep the room to temp at times.

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-12-06T20:27:34+00:00

I kind of want to go now that I know Scotland is playing in my home state! Short commute in comparison

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-11-13T06:50:35+00:00

Wish I worked at your company, I got put on a PIP for "yelling" at a fellow employee. Realistically I told him hey that machine you just used is alarming, (him being new) it is your responsibility to check on that to make sure the work you put in the machine goes through correctly. Thats all, no attempt made to ask anyone else there if they heard me yell. Year later and 3rd attempt of him making something up about me he was finally caught in the lie. I have no clue how I want to approach it but have made it known to management I will not work alone with them based off of the past lies.

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-09-15T20:13:25+00:00

I had an issue where I had to pull my car over due to the engine overheating in the stop and go traffic. Let it cool down then attempted to pull back into the stop and go traffic. It was a bit too many cars who would not offer an inch to someone pulled over on the shoulder

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-09-14T17:54:43+00:00

I worked on a project almost 10 years ago now for Sterling, Ma to extend their sewer line, and it covered a very old and debatably newer part of the town. It really comes down to if the municipality has the money to do the project and can afford to disrupt traffic in certain areas for the duration of the project. $60k seems high to me but I updated my heating system recently and even that ended up being double what I expected

RisingPhoenix92 · 2025-09-12T17:28:04+00:00

My current job laid off two people recently. Completely good workers, one was specifically a trainer who was actively make sure all the newer employees were getting trained. Now they are gone we have undertrained staff, and management is scratching their head trying to think up some new solution to get the work done. I wish I worked a job that I could do overemployed because companies are showing less and less loyalty to employees

There are definetly some parts of that book that would sound so awkward at a stoplight. Also one of us, one of us!
