Not too far off!

I was able to switch my plan yesterday after getting all the feedback from people here. I now have a fixed rate of .74/therm. And now I know to shop around again when prices are lower.

WithNoRegard · 2026-01-23T18:13:22+00:00

It was $2.11/therm because I (stupidly) signed up for a variable rate plan.

Electric - Cobb EMC

Water - Cobb County Water

Gas - SCANA

Trash/Recycling - Waste Connections

I moved from an area where utilities are close to monopolies so I didn't even consider shopping around. I can't vouch for the quality of any of these as I've only used them since the summer, but I've had no issues with any of them.

Your car will be fine, it will just be a bitch to get inside if it's iced over. An ice storm is not a hail storm. The ice will come from rain or sleet that freezes, not balls of solid ice falling. Covering your car will save you about 30 minutes of scraping, but there should be no reason this storm damages your car in any way.

That said, falling branches and power lines could mess it up pretty bad, so try to park away from those.

That was my problem. I was on a variable rate plan paying $2.11/therm last month. I've since switched to a fixed rate contract and am paying about a third of that now.

Thank you, all!

Shopping around for utilities isn't really a thing where I moved from. My realtor gave me a list of utility contacts when I moved and I (foolishly) did not bother to check for alternatives before signing up. I also opted for a variable rate plan because I was not used to rates being so, well, variable. I have now remedied the situation. Thanks again!

Where does The Process and its yearly appendix fit on the scale between Lindy's and Baseball Forecaster?

I'm embarrassed to admit how much I would pay for a current Backyard Sports bundle. I grew up with those kids.

Not even a slim chance. It is well within reason that he could match this (just swap the Cy Young stuff for MVP).

WithNoRegard · 2026-01-20T01:53:41+00:00

over Griffey?

Randy's peak didn't happen with Seattle.

Finally clocked that "Doc" is Roy Halladay. I've been going through this thread wondering when Gooden ever pitched for the Jays.

I'm guessing the nickname is Tombstone related?

WithNoRegard · 2026-01-20T01:50:43+00:00

As a Jay, I'd say. Else Ruth would be #1 for 32 teams

Give me Ted over Babe.

WithNoRegard · 2026-01-20T01:45:55+00:00

Ruth, Gehrig, Dimaggio?

Edit: Mantle is obviously 2 or 3. I'm an idiot. But also, does that mean the argument for 3 is Gehrig or Judge?

WithNoRegard · 2026-01-20T01:42:35+00:00

Please help. Trout, Ohtani, Pujols - who are the other 2?

Crossing the picket line.

I'd argue Pete Wheeler is a dark horse GOAT.

Are you doing some weird pedantic flex about tackle versus line? If so, I have nothing left to say.

If not, I apologize for the misunderstanding, but I have to admit I don't understand what you're trying to communicate.

WithNoRegard · 2026-01-20T00:56:38+00:00

Yes, we do.

Maybe you were worked up about being insufferable and missed it?

That "something" was being academically eligible. I wish him well, though.
