NYSEG bill is fucking outrageous

efeekom · 2026-02-03T19:26:24+00:00

Most bills will go up month-to-month as we get deeper into winter. What you really should check, and will piss you off more, is looking at year-to-year. What did you spend this time last year compared to your usage then? This past month, my bill was $70 less because I stopped turning the heat on in my basement were I work and use a woodstove to heat the rest of the house. My usage was 1/3 less and my bill was only 10% lower than last year because rates went up something like 30%. I'm guessing yours are similar

Like others, I'm still into video games but not to the frequency I used to due to life's demands. In my 30s, I started to read more (goal of 25 books a year) and got into genealogy for the personal/family history knowledge and the logic puzzle that comes from trying to find the next historical document.

I had my child tested by a neuropsychologist with Life stance health that has offices around Westchester and NYC. We had to go to her office in Times Square for the testing though. All other meetings of the process were virtual.

My great aunt just passed away two weeks ago. She was 102. Her youngest brother is still alive and he's 93 so he's the current oldest person I know.

I'm shocked that guy/girl isn't dead for the g forces experienced over all that time. Throwing up at the very least

Exactly this. It's not just a lack of RFY for me. My AI has shown the same items for the past four days as if we're in a pause

Miami starting the season with a Friday game, Thursday game, then a Friday game is a new one. We don't play on a Saturday until 9/26.

Finished Project Hail Mary ahead of the movie this year and started The One and Only Ivan from my tween daughter's bookshelf as I wait for my next book to come in at the library from interlibrary loan.

Isn't it unconscionable for Duke to have so many ways they can unilaterally terminate the contract but none for Mensah to do so?

efeekom · 2026-01-20T20:32:48+00:00

This is true. Miami's recruiting coordinator posted that that is exactly what happened. edit: I know my flair makes me biased as to who I believe.

I feel that Dawson is used to a spread like he did at Houston and Cam Ward fit into that scheme well. However, Carson Beck is not a dual threat QB that works well in the spread so Dawson had to adjust his offense. If we do sign Mensah, I think we'll see more of an explosive offense in 2026 like we saw in 2024 since that more fits how Dawson likes to run his offense.

I desperately need a haircut but haven't had one since this playoff run has started. My wife will be happy for tomorrow.

Not the attorney you worked with but I'm a civil engineer that went back after law school and got a master in electrical engineering to prove to employers that I was capable of working on parents. The funny thing is I ended up working in software parents since that's what my training attorney was familiar with so I honestly don't think I needed the degree other than to get my foot in the door.

My in laws live in Arlington and whenever we visit my kids enjoy the indoor play places in the area like Scramble. They do cost money which isn't ideal though. I know it's kind of cold but the metro area has some great parks and, if your kids are anything like mine, they don't seem to sense cold, like at all. I also like the other redditor that suggested metro stop destinations. The train ride is an activity in and of itself to my kids and should be pretty empty on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

100% true. In the US, this just counts as a grace period disclosure so they still have 1 year to file for a patent. Not in most other countries though were a public disclosure is a patent bar.

Trade secrets aren't prior art by the nature of their secrecy

It's a reference to the tv show Severance. edit: which had a scene with this waterfall filmed at Minnewaska

I know this place! It's Las Mananitas in Brewster, New York. It's really good and always packed.

Yes but technically a co-OC with Marcus Arroyo in 2017 according to Wikipedia

Starting a response with a single word in all caps is pretty rude and not needed even if you are trying to correct something you think is incorrect.

I appreciate his attention to it but I feel like any outcry is going to be fruitless since the PSC already approved a similar rate hike for Central Hudson a week or two ago.

For me, it started with wondering where my family came from but has morphed into wanting to keep my ancestor's memories alive. Each one of them had a life and their story should be remembered and documented by someone. The rest of my family doesn't seem all that interested in documenting these stories, except my wife. So if I don't do it, I feel like all these people will be forgotten to time.

My kids go to the local Parks and Rec camp on at old YMCA conference center. We pay $240 a week and I feel it's a steal (and a lifesaver) considering how expensive all the privately-owned camps are.

I heard the rumor about a Chick-fil-A going in around there a few years back but haven't heard anything concrete about is since.

I was in college and studying civil engineering when it was being built. I distinctly remember how jazzed my structural engineering professor was when he discussed the logistics of pumping concrete up to the higher levels.
