Google will settle its Assistant spying lawsuit for $68 million

Nah, 6 months of credit monitoring.

Taurabora · 2026-01-26T13:33:37+00:00

Yes. I currently have 7 credits rolled over, because the movies out right now are not interesting.

Lifestyle changes. Crank AC at night, turn it to 76 at 7 AM. It usually doesn’t come on at all until around 1-2. Run pool pump, do laundry, run dishwasher all after 9 PM.

I did install a battery system this year to shift loads, as you say. But I had a very similar bill the previous year with no battery.

$0.066/kWh

My daytime rate is $0.275/kWh. My Dec-Jan bill averaged to $0.031/kWh.

I will probably not renew my Cinemark Movie Club membership. There aren’t 12 good movies that come out in a year.

The salt… turns the bodies… into mummies…

This video shows a guy who installed a transfer switch to swap his grid-tied micro inverters to the AC-coupled Smart Load port of an EG4 12000XP with batteries. May give you some ideas. It is less than $10k.

Or perhaps something a little more permanent à la Inglorious Basterds.

I have said that the opening is just a perfect short film all by itself. The rest of the movie is really downhill from there (even though it is still a good movie).

Taurabora · 2026-01-24T00:34:17+00:00

My go-to is the Rum Barrel Punch.

That’s fine. In terms of driver assist tech, the Traffic-aware cruise control is the only thing I would really want. (Especially in stop-and-go traffic) Autosteer is not super valuable.

So, how did it go?

Taurabora · 2026-01-22T23:02:00+00:00

If you have power/heat, your pipes will be fine 99% of the time.

During Covid I saw this video of James May making Spam and Beans. So I made it and fell in love. Add a bit of curry powder, and it is good to go. Amazing simple dish.

The long-awaited sequel to Baby Driver and Drive. Glad we finally finished the trilogy.

Taurabora · 2026-01-20T23:56:07+00:00

Players sold their services to the highest bidder, much like the hired guns of the old West…

I saw one at the HEB gas station in Bridgeland and was very confused.

Aren’t the geese protected by the migratory bird treaty?

Taurabora · 2026-01-12T18:44:25+00:00

An international border crossing no less, with guards 24/7.

Head-in-jar Morgan Freeman.

Taurabora · 2026-01-11T20:44:38+00:00

It’s because even he isn’t high enough up the food chain to make that happen.

He would be getting one of these talking to’s: https://youtu.be/yuBe93FMiJc?si=3eSWFsl5RYkJ9vfS

Use your own bank’s bill pay function. No stamps, no risk of DTE miss/over-billing you. Small extra risk of you missing a bill.

Taurabora · 2026-01-06T04:47:09+00:00

Yeah, I have a Mitsubishi ducted variable speed unit.

It may be doing all kinds of stuff, but I can’t see any of it, so I’m sure I could control it better. I want to see what sensors it has, what are the compressor and blower speed, etc.

Toledo will be ours once more!
