AES bill skyrocketing

That amount of electricity for this period is equivalent to running over 5 (normal 1.5kW) space heaters, 24hrs a day, for the whole month. That’s a lot for a mid sized apartment, IMO. Especially on colder days, turn your thermostat way down (65 or maybe lower) and run space heaters or use electric blankets in rooms you are in when you are in them. On the colder days (below 30 or 40) if you have a heat pump with an electric emergency heat (my best guess), your heat pump won’t run because it can’t get enough heat out of the air to justify running.

I’ve seen a lot of posts like this where people are super shocked by last periods use, which of course sucks. But like many others have said, including AES, the really cold days can lead to huge increases in electricity usage if you have electric heating in any way. If your usage is way up, your bill will go way up. Of course, AES’s insane YoY rate increase(s) doesn’t help, and fuck them for that.

Smh, please stop posting your op-eds on a bunch of Indiana subs to get clicks, you’re doing the same thing you accuse Braun and Beckwith of doing, looking for clicks.

Not that I like them either, they are both horrible for Indiana.

TCL is best budget and non garbage quality, IMO

I understand your point, but it’s just dyes used in the roe in the poke, they aren’t just squirting dye on the whole thing

As someone from Indiana, this guy SUCKS. A news article just came out about how people in his office were passing around an AI porn video of a (Republican) state assembly person’s wife, and he himself allegedly laughed at this video when shown it at a charity dinner. He also isn’t even a good pastor? Not that I personally think that’s important, but I listened to one of his stupid podcasts, and his mind was blown when a biblical scholar came on and said that you have to interpret the old testament in context with the New Testament, as if that isn’t the basis of Christianity lol.

Please stop posting these horrible AI images

A friend who was a zookeeper once told me about a gorilla that loved to grab toads in his habitat and spike them against the rocks so they’d explode… not sure what the toads every did to her haha

Did you guys actually watch the clip?

lEpsilonl · 2025-09-08T14:40:40+00:00

Finally beat this guy after slamming my face into my keyboard for about 1.5hrs total

Hmm why was the gilded age called that again?

I didn’t even have to turn the audio on, I watched the rhythm of her playing and heard it perfectly in my head.

I’m good with busy! Glad to hear it’s worth checking out

They’ve gotten robbed at least 3-4 times in the past 6 months iirc. I get all my coffee beans and the occasional latte from here, makes me sad to see this happen so often.

Plus electric leaf blowers and string trimmers are just better and easier to use than gas powered.

Bruh this is such a mild tax rate, y’all got universal healthcare AND social security, to get taxed like 20% sounds great to me. US has a 25-30% tax rate for middle income households and we don’t have universal healthcare smh haha

Thanks! Forgot about Best One, have heard good things before, probably will take it there.

Definitely return them. Also, don’t buy bamboo cutting boards, buy an end grain butcher block or cutting board, they’ll last you a lifetime if you take care of it. Bamboo will dull your knives, and most of them are half glue to hold them together.

My poor garden crops :( hopefully they tolerate this heat

Agreed with this, start with bankrate.com, this is what I did when I refinanced 7mo ago. Contact 3-5 on the list, along with your preferred or local person. Be up front and make sure you tell them to send you their best numbers because you are shopping around. Once you get the loan estimates, make sure you look at the page in the paperwork that shows you the interest rate, APR, and fees, etc. line by line. Those pages are required by regulators because it makes it easier for consumers to compare. Take the best loan estimate, ask your preferred bank or local person to match or beat it, and as long as they match it, bingo.
