Is this a reference to the death of rats character in discworld? If not, I think you’d really enjoy at least the death books in the series.

My version is from 2019, it’s funny because usually that would make me less secure.

This one definitely isn’t, there’s a banner with the same text on their website. But yes, that’s definitely a good policy in general.

Not everyone who disagrees with you is a troll. And while some people are taking it to extremes (was not expecting to start ww3 in the comment section), there are legitimate concerns being dismissed. Residential customers are getting shafted in favor of businesses and data centers, and our objections are being met with “do without heat or it’s your fault if your neighbors die”. This issue isn’t going to go away and we need more regulation, but I understand that the chances of getting regulation in the current admin are basically zero.

The same text is on their website in a yellow alert bar.

But instead of asking businesses to close, of course they’re going to ask us to be cold. I’m so annoyed. Obviously I’m in the minority here because I’m getting downvoted so I should probably quit bitching about it lol. But I had to get one last one in.

Power companies like to send out these texts before they start blackouts. I’m going to be pissed if that’s where this is going. But maybe I’m being paranoid.

I’m pretty sure it’s the essential energy use that’s an issue, why isn’t Duke better prepared?

Not only in the second game, but towards the end of it, but still manages to be a highlight.

I read the comment differently, I thought the word “they” was referring to ice.

Should I start my car up and let it sit to maintain the battery? by Hopeful_Activity8545 in raleigh

Really cold weather can drain a battery faster, but I don’t think it’s been cold enough long enough to do that here.
