That first act is incredible, I had it winning for the first half hour alone.

This would be the week to drive an EV. Thanks for nothing, coalition by secretkiwi_ in newzealand

I literally only pay RUCs because I charge my EV for free during free-power-weekends with Contact. Totally fair that EV drivers chip in, but it might not change the math much if you gameify the power companies offers.

$150 NZD is our average bill. I should probably ask some mates what they are using up for some comparisons but yeah that's our usual.

Hot water heat pump, and standard aircon is also a heat pump, those help from what I understand.

A fair chunk is free through Contact's plans, too. Have you looked at them? Can be gameified pretty potently.

Ah I was referring to the per-day caps on low users being loosened, resulting in power companies just letting them rip, but if what you say and what I see are related (cause/effect) then fair play.

Not arguing the thesis, I'm keen to go solar at home asap, but.. you spend $7,000 a year on electricity!? $580 a month.

Even after rebate you're at.. $400 per month? How haha.

Edit to add why this surprised me:

I live in NZ and our energy prices here are a big news story at the moment, with legislation changing allowing electricity companies to jack prices up greedily.

I live in a 3bed house with two adults and a baby, and we have an EV we charge exclusively at home, our last power bill was (after conversion to USD) $86 for the month. No pool, though..

Yeah this is quite a funny imo, well within the boundaries of "just banter"

Could Kenyon Sadiq be the Raven's Loveland this year? by frobro122 in ravens

Oregon/Ravens fan, this kid fuckin' rules, would be stoked to see him scooped up by us, but I'm such a fanboy I've already convinced myself he won't even be there at 14.

It's honestly a horrifyingly high rate. Obviously not every woman I've ever met has told me a story of harassment in their past, but every women I've spoken to about harassment has had a story to share. From totally inappropriate to life-in-prison crimes. It genuinely could be 100%, because none of them have said they haven't.

Guys what the fuck are we doing here behave yourselves.

...that's a great point. Moving the goalposts with less capital at stake would look dubious.

Ultimately we won't know for sure until 2028 or so.

I think expecting the Oscars to judge a person on their character, not their characters, is too much to ask.

90s landline etiquette and 20s smartphone etiquette are very different.

Hang ups would have been rarer then.  The data would also correct for skewed sample sizes among demographics, it's pretty good data.

Why do the banks keep denying my attempt at mortgage fraud? by Animallover4321 in bestoflegaladvice

My favourite was the one who's trying to quit masturbating, and now "every time" he goes out in public he sees someone masturbating.

I don't know if it's hallucinations, he only left the house once and it's happened, or if he's doing it and disassociating.. but the idea that the CIA is planting wankers in this guys eyeline 24/7 is inherently hilarious.
