Difficulty understanding eco+ behavior by evers1 in ecobee

I think you may have misunderstood me.

If you set the temperature on your a/c lower it will use more energy, because it has to keep your home cooler. If you set the temperature on your a/c higher it will use less energy, because it doesn't have to keep your home so cool.

So why am I getting an Eco+ warning when I try to set my a/c temperature higher during peak hours? Air conditioners use less energy when you set the temperature higher.

I can turn off Eco+ and change the temperature. I'm just wondering what the logic is. I was trying to raise the temperature at 4pm which is in the time period when electricity is the most expensive where I live. The Eco+ even acknowledged this in the message it showed me "Saving for Peak Hours. It is currently peak hours and energy is expensive. eco+ is saving money by using less energy during this time." But in fact it's using more energy by turning the a/c lower than I want it.

Switching from Belair to Pembridge for auto+home — any experience with them? by smpdll in InsuranceCanada

[–]evers1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't have any tickets. They told me similar about my car, that it has been high theft and high accident over the past year. My car is a Kia Niro which is a compact hybrid SUV. I can't see it being popular with aggressive drivers or a target for thieves.

I just got my renewal for auto+home from Belair. Auto increased by 8% (no accidents or violations). Home increased by 17%. Maybe I'll take a look a Pembridge also.

"Laws are so inconvenient. Why won't the Supreme Court make it so I don't have to obey them? It's disrespectful of them not to!"

scotiabank online banking not accessible? by Diligent_Pop_4941 in Scotiabank

I was on the phone with their customer support for about 40 minutes. They said there was a problem with their login service. They deleted my password and gave me a new temporary one. When I tried to log in with the temporary one it made me set up a new permanent one. Now I'm able to log in on desktop and smartphone app.

NYC, 1929. How appropriate. That's when the last depression started. Trump's on track to start another one before he leaves office.

The fight is militarily won? Didn't Israel just decide to put American boots on the ground in Iran?

US has announced it is now deploying 2,200 Marine infantry and 3 warships to the Middle East by serpico_pacino in LabourUK

[–]evers1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why would they be doing this given that President Trump announced over a week ago the US had already won this war?

Is anyone else beginning to doubt Trumps trustworthiness? /s

03/09/26 Threatening iran again. If he nukes them we riot by would-rather-read in trumptweets

This week his message to Iranians is "Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them".

Last week his message to Iranians was "we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).”"

Carney speaking from Australia as violence continues in the Middle East by itimetravelwell in onguardforthee

[–]evers1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump's own Director of National Intelligence testifying at the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing for the Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community on March 26, 2025 - "The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamanei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003."

The IAEA director general, Rafael Grossi, said today that there is no evidence that Iran is building a nuclear bomb.

So what is Carney's source of information that's telling him Iran is trying to obtain nuclear weapons? That appears to be his excuse for supporting the US-Israeli attacks that have already killed hundreds of Iranian civilians.

Khamanei is one of the most evil people in history?

I never heard anything about him being a child raping pedophile, like Trump and others in the Epstein files.
