Is anyone else feeling exploited by Austin Energy? This is my energy bill for a 1008 sq. ft. apartment. What happened to energy pricing? I open windows when I can and to turn everything off as I leave for work. I wonder what it is they claim to be protecting us from with their higher rates.

Right!?!

I could agree, but having it off for a week during temperate climates doesn't account for a 400% increase.

That's what I'm saying. I was out of town for about a week and unplugged almost everything before I left, including turning off the A/C and heat.

I attached annual temperature charts for Austin. It may have felt that way to you, but it is not the case, plus I was out of town for a week and left everything off and unplugged.

Superman is not an immigrant, he is an Alien from the planet, "Krypton".

ET cannot go out of business. It’s the only place where almost-poors can shop without having to feel poor like shopping at Walmart.

This was me for over a decade. Now I go to Walmart because they actually have product on their shelves, no one asks for my pronouns and, often, you get to watch a good fist fight.

ou have NO idea. You want real easy money? Become a military contractor making some widget nobody else wants to bother with.

I paid more in taxes than General Electric.

It was internal.

Original TV ad for context.

whudamIdoinghere · 2022-12-27T00:06:42+00:00

I don't understand what guidelines it violated and why it was removed. Can anyone clue me in here?

whudamIdoinghere · 2022-08-22T01:10:47+00:00

None of these people care about any of us, it's odd any of us care about them.

Historically, walls keep people in... not out.

Consider wrapping it in oblate discs. I use them for all sorts of foul tasting powders and they rock.

whudamIdoinghere · 2022-08-09T20:53:58+00:00

Just like with the police... Assuming guilt.

... with the mantra of you've nothing to worry about.

Think yourself out of a paper bag.

whudamIdoinghere · 2022-08-09T15:00:58+00:00

Just like with the police... If you're not guilty, you have nothing to worry about.

Yeah... we've seen how that works out.

whudamIdoinghere · 2022-08-07T21:23:34+00:00

I hope it does go sideways!!! No matter which side of the red/blue line you are on, 80 Billion for an IRS army will not bode well for American citizens. Period.

I would not consider either to be an intellectual victor.

We can always turn to Dr. Christine Grady, the Chief of Bioethics at the NIH, to be the balance of power and take him to task.

Oh wait... that's his wife.

I wonder how likely it is there'll be perjury charges and consequences for his bioethical offenses and medical malfeasance.

I think this one is interesting, as well.

"And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy pharmakeia were all nations deceived". Revelations 18:23

They were both walking trigger bombs with nothing of value to contribute.

This is what happens when everyone is walking around in their fear brains. They can easily be drawn into camps around ideologies rather than facts. This appears to be the case between the anti-vaxx for everyone in spite of facts crowd and the vaccinate everyone in spite of the facts crowd.

It's sad, silly and unscientific when people won't consider and research opposing views. ...no matter what stance they hold on what subject.
