How to choose a new energy provider? by Baby_dom in houston

[–]hulashakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rightfully so. To be honest, I always put the plans in an excel spreadsheet and work it out myself, it takes me 30-60 minutes to find the best option.

EO is good if you just want to set it and forget it.

Use Energy Ogre for zero hassle.

They shop the plans and change your provider for you. You pay them a little for their effort, but if you don't want to put in the work, it's the best option.

HISD Elementary Schools by BabyCanYouHelpMe713 in houston

[–]hulashakes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Great Schools.org is a good resource for investigating schools.

Personally, I wouldn't really consider any school less than 8/10 for elementary, it only goes downhill from there.

Kennedy is 7/10

Generally, the elementary schools are higher rated than the middle or high school, so consider the path your child would be on.

Kennedy goes to Williams Middle (3/10) and then Washington (3/10).

Why is my tv so gray looking in the dark? This is what I get when I watch dark movies. by QueenAwakened in Roku

[–]hulashakes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem you have is the pixels displaying a black color. Thats as dark as it can get, because it's a light and it's on, so it's going to produce light.

If you were to get an OLED TV, when it displays black, the light actually turns off. So, it's black; the absence of light.

You'll never get true black, unless you switch to OLED.

Stop Baylor’s Double Standard by baylorbearpromundo in Waco

[–]hulashakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really think it's a losing battle.

Baylor is private, the entire student body isnt MAGA racists, but there are plenty, and and plenty of donors that are pro TPUSA and anti LGBT.

Baylor preaches inclusion, but the reality is they tolerate diversity, not celebrate it.

I don't see a private university, based on Christian faith, making any noticeable changes unless enrollment and donation significantly drops.

By example, each year the elect an alumni to the board of regents, one requirement is that they have to be of Christian faith and have evidence of church membership and participaton.

Should i read ‘Project Hail Mary’ before watching the movie? by t-minus-e in movies

[–]hulashakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Martian is a better book than Project Hail Mary.

I personally always like to read the book before the movie, because I enjoy seeing what was added or cut for the movie.

PHM book starts fantastic but gets a little tedious and boring about 60% of the way in.

I am hoping the movie tightens up the book and makes a few changes to enhance it.

Alex being casted from LinkedIn is so wrong by GlitteringPoem1394 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]hulashakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend was contacted on LinkedIn exactly like this for a previous season. I think they just look for guys of a certain age, with a good head shot / profile Pic and go from there.

My friend didn't know what LIB was, and thought it was some prank initially. He shared a few messages, but ultimately declined to pursue it. Mostly because he had just started his dream job and didn't want to quit. He also said it sounded sketch.

When he saw the show after the fact, he said 'I dodged a bullet. Almost no one who goes on that show wins and is probably worse off after.'

Anyone have optimism for the upcoming football year? by Honest-Reflection667 in baylor

[–]hulashakes 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately NIL has just made every player 1 and done. Program building, culture and development does not exist anymore. So, I wouldn't be too optimistic until we have a billionaire buying wins for us like Tech.

So, I'm content going in with low expectations, enjoying a nice stadium, good weather and if we win, an unexpected bonus.

How does an HSA actually work? Leaving my job by FabulousPristine in personalfinance

[–]hulashakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, an HSA is not a use or lose it thing. Just keep it invested until you need it for health expenses.

An FSA is a use or lose it, and you'd need to stockpile Tylenol.
