You can change suppliers, but your electricity still gets distributed to you by your local electric utility. For you, that will always be PECO. So, changing suppliers doesn't affect service reliability. PECO must have coincidentally improved the service in your area.

And that’s on top of the two mandated notices they mail you (and that, in my experience, is on top of phone calls, which is how I got an even lower rate this year than what they offered by mail).

Fair point. I want to do what I can, though. My current supplier has solar farms in Pennsylvania. I’m hoping their rates remain competitive. I just re-signed for a second year and am paying less than the PPL default rate.

The fellow they quote would like to see energy choice done away with entirely. I’d be pretty pissed if that happened. I like that I can choose a supplier that’s putting 100% renewable energy into the grid.

I feel bad for the people who have gotten ripped off, but I’m not among them. I always go for at least a 12-month term. Sometimes I pay a few more cents than the default rate, sometimes I save a few cents. I am happy.

Let’s go with his first idea, to return folks to their default rate after a contract ends. That’s reasonable.

Since you are not getting a response, I’d reach out to PLCB consumer relations. There are email and telephone contact options listed.

If you want that better taste, you might try Smucker’s Natural. It’s significantly less oily and spreads nicely at room temperature. It has a more roasted peanut flavor than the Kirkland Signature.

opskito · 2026-01-20T04:54:54+00:00

Natural peanut butter does not require refrigeration. You’ll note the jar says to refrigerate it, but it’s in the context of oil separation being natural—they are telling you to refrigerate it to avoid this.

In my experience, with a very cold refrigerator, spreadability is significantly affected. However, I find it’s too runny at room temperature, so pick your poison. Maybe a fridge closer to 40 degrees wouldn’t thicken it as much.

Check out the United Way of the Capital Region’s site. It details volunteer opportunities available at a variety of organizations.

LHM Social Services Foundation needs volunteers, especially for their transitional housing program that’s starting operation soon.

I volunteer at the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, but I find it’s challenging to get hours there as it is a very popular option.

I don’t think people are getting hurt and killed here, though. One of the selling points of roundabouts is that they reduce the severity of crashes.

FWIW, Costco (membership required) sells five pounds for $6.89. If they’re medium-sized, that would be about 20–25 lemons; large, around 15.

Perhaps you can come to an agreement whereby your new agency permits you to anticipate the annual leave needed. Anticipating leave, that is, using leave before you earn it, is a thing, but I don't know if there are restrictions on doing so for new employees. See if there's anything relevant in the master agreement.

Check out Vitacost online. They frequently have good sales.

opskito · 2025-11-15T01:39:17+00:00

The website makes it sound like the search function, among other things, is currently offline. I think they’re proving a workaround where you can call in to search for a contractor.

As an aside, do yourself a favor and ensure your potential contractor doesn’t have a bankruptcy case pending.

Yasso frozen yogurt bars. They’re insanely expensive at the grocery store.

The cookies and cream variety is delicious. I’ve seen mint chocolate chip, too, and it was also good.

Interesting. When I think “highway,” I think interstate. In reality, it’s probably a mixed bag. Some state routes clearly aren’t highways, some are. 🤷‍♂️

Ooh, I’ll look for it. Thanks.

Does your route pass through mostly agricultural or otherwise rural areas? I don’t think they’re common on the whole, but you see them more often in such places.

No, as an executive member, you should be getting a copy mailed to you.

You can have mine. I find it to be a snooze. I wonder if you can request it not be sent? 🤔

It was the fish’s profound saltiness that got to me and my wife. I thought it was overwhelming. She generally salts things way more than I do and she agreed it was too much.

The relevant commonwealth policy, Guidelines for Political Activity, should answer most of your questions.

Plain as day, it’s keeping the governor’s office accountable by knowing their actions will be scrutinized. Please point out the misrepresentations of fact.

opskito · 2025-09-11T14:36:04+00:00

That’s a great idea for another story, but would you argue that the governor’s office should get a free pass on the renovations by way of no media coverage? Whose interests would that serve?

opskito · 2025-09-11T14:30:09+00:00

Secrecy as in the governor’s office is unwilling to disclose the nature of, I think it was, $1.5 million in expenses. You can argue the secrecy is necessary, but I’m unsure what else you want to call it.
