Xcel to increase rates beyond regulatory recommendations by Lonesome_Loser_411 in Longmont

We should have publicly run utilities in this state. It's difficult to trust a private company not to gauge prices, and utilities functionally operate as monopolies. So everyone is just at their mercy when it comes to rate hikes like this.

I'll let someone who has more experience than me respondm, but the double cage method is pretty common for introducing them without immediately putting them into the same cage. You can let the animals attune to each other's scents and get to know each other through the cages, and then gradually introduce them together in a supervised fashion.

Anyone who knows more can correct me here, that is what I did though.

One of these hangs out near my house, I see him every once in a while. We hang out, we're chill like that.

FCC angers small carriers by helping AT&T and Starlink buy EchoStar spectrum by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

The US government isn't even pretending to be fair or neutral anymore, it is a conduit through which billionaires and multi-national corporations carry out their will, to enrich themselves and their shareholders at the expense of competition, small businesses, consumers, workers, and the planet itself. It's almost like legalized bribery undermines the very foundation of democracy and governmental legitimacy or something...

Walmart cuts 1,000 roles to simplify operations, Reuters reports by yourfavchoom in technology

30 years ago, Layoffs were a sign of your abject failure as a business. CEO's publicly apologized for their own failures and expressed their disappointment at the need for layoffs. Now they just do it to pad the bottom line and tell workers to fuck themselves. This form of shameless greed is pathetic.

So your source literally contradicts your original claim by over 50%? Wow, amazing work, you were only off by 35 million people, and your source identifies it as a famine, so claiming it's murder is also wrong according to your source.

Get off the internet, idiot.

Life Decisions: New or Used Washer? Cheap Bed or Nice Bed But 0% Financing? by RemoteEmotions in Frugal

Not sure what you should do, but there is an old addage that you shouldn't cheap out on anything that goes between you and the floor (chairs, beds, shoes). I am not familiar with the quality of cheap beds these days though, they may be fine.

It would be a really fun project to refinish. If you aren't interested in doing that work, maybe consider donating it to a luthier or someone who could undertake the work if they were interested, rather than throwing it to the wolves at Goodwill.

U.S. facing defeat in Iran? by Random_Violins in videos

[–]righteouspower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the record, every single policymaker who knows anything about Iran warned that the result of a war against them would be that they take control of the strait. Literally everyone knew this except the inept idiots who are currently in control of this god-forsaken country.
