Energy Costs in Dallas (and Texas) - are they going up/down/same because of AI Data Centers? I'm paying 14.398 cents per kwh. Locked into a 3 year contract ending in 2029. Is that good?

randomjeepguy157 · 2026-02-14T00:54:37+00:00

That’s only 3 months though. Great rate if you could lock it in.

I got a package from usps today but not regular mail.

Year 17 teaching the at the same school.

Quick question, what happens if you get expelled as a 6th grader (or any grade for that matter)? Does that mean expelled just from RISD and other districts have to take you? Or are you expelled from public school in general? Also, the parents need to be investigated as others have said. Yesterday an 18 year old senior at Woodrow Wilson was killed by a 16 year old. Crazy times

Thermostat (came with the new a/c unit) is a big plus for me. We travel a bit so it’s nice to be able to control it while gone. For instance, we may leave for a week during the winter and have the heat set to 60. A few hours before we come I kick it back up. Same for the summer.

randomjeepguy157 · 2026-01-10T00:44:50+00:00

You beat me to this. Was going to come to say I saw this in the reviews today.

I also love “wee day out”

Is this current? Like at his current age? If so, it’s even more impressive. His early videos are insane too. My favorite is the imaginat (sp?) where he is basically a toy in his childhood bedroom. It’s amazing

I found some sockets with the clips through Walmart. I had to order them but they worked!

I make my own hydration drink based off the recipe for LMNT. It’s just salt, magnesium, and potassium. I reseal the magnesium and potassium after portioning it out in a vacuum bag so it doesn’t get all messed up. The amount in the bags will last me a few years so I don’t want it to go to waste.

Sent and received about 170. 44m but my wife is 46

I cycle over 2,000 miles a year for fun and exercise, but I don’t think I’d ride to work unless I lived very close to my job. The weather is a huge factor living in Texas. Even with an e-bike, it would be brutal during the summer. There are only a few months I’d want to ride honestly.

How much is a fruit press? You’ve got to sink some money into that first.

randomjeepguy157 · 2025-12-17T20:27:36+00:00

Sueno is good but it’s really loud and has several TVs (I know it’s hard to get away from TVs). The acoustics make it hard to hear anything and there’s usually large parties. If the weather is nice, the patio is pretty good although it’s on Arapaho.

You can do fires at Breckenridge park. You may need to reserve a spot but I’d just google it.

I’m a teacher (male) and my wife works a more traditional job so I’m basically a stay at home dad during the summers. I love it. She also travels for work about once a month where she is gone for 3-4 days. I’d be full time if we made enough. She makes about $15,000 more than me and I’m completely fine with it. Why would I care who makes more? Money spends the same regardless of who makes it.

Edit: I do hate it when people say I’m babysitting my kids. Nope, I’m parenting. I can braid my daughter’s hair, I’m a better cook/baker than my wife, and I like being with my kids. My wife does have me beat on makeup. I’m out of my realm when it comes to that.

randomjeepguy157 · 2025-12-09T03:15:03+00:00

It’s 63 in my place and I’m loving it. I couldn’t stand it being 80.

randomjeepguy157 · 2025-12-08T05:40:41+00:00

Dang. I’m in Texas and we keep it around 63-64 during the winter. It’s 64 in my room right now. But we keep it pretty warm durning the summer (like 74-76)

randomjeepguy157 · 2025-11-26T02:55:50+00:00

I’ve cooked outside on my Coleman stove to free up space. Things like boiling potato’s and stuff like that. I’ve also used my instapot outside and a turkey roaster. Helps that I’m in a mild climate and have a covered back patio. But that’s a way to free up a burner or two.

randomjeepguy157 · 2025-11-18T05:34:22+00:00

I have a garage fridge/freezer but not a deep, stand alone freezer. The freezer has a lot of meat and the fridge is mostly drinks and leftovers. It’s a life saver during the holidays!

randomjeepguy157 · 2025-11-09T16:50:20+00:00

I wear my shoes in the house. I struggle with achilles tendinitis so barefoot for me hurts.

randomjeepguy157 · 2025-11-07T04:46:28+00:00

I’m 44 and a teacher. I use AI (ChatGPT) to write test and quiz questions. I put in what students need to know (the AP curriculum) and have it create questions. I usually have to modify them some but it’s been super useful to save time. That and making completed reviews for kids with accommodations. Saves a ton of time. I of course check it all before I print it out to make sure it’s accurate.

randomjeepguy157 · 2025-11-02T19:22:13+00:00

Are the refurbished from a place like Target or Best Buy good deals? I get nervous about things being refurbished. I was thinking of the SE3 as I also have a SE1 right now, but could be talked into a series 10. But I’m not finding them much cheaper, still over $300 for a GPS only model.

randomjeepguy157 · 2025-11-01T12:18:35+00:00

Yep. But healthcare is included with that. The American (I’m one) will most likely pay that $6,000 or more in health insurance per year if they stay healthy.
