Depending on the amount of power they are generating, they could be hitting the limit of production at peak times. The grow houses could also be exceeding the rated capacity of residential equipment.

Around here the power companies will tell you to set your thermostat higher to reduce load on the grid during heat waves. (Or just change it themselves if you opted for a reduced rate to allow them to do so)

Yup, it is. Social engineering is by far the most effective means of gaining unlawful access to any system.

Humans are always the weakest link.

If it’s not now, it will in the future.

If someone is asking strangers for help to stop a behavior, you should believe that the behavior is an issue.

Would you ask this if the question was about alcohol?

This is just shifting addictions to another unhealthy parasocial relationship.

Someone with this type of issue needs to shift their focus to something different than idolizing a person, fictional or not.

Or anything involving the outside world. Nature walks, bird watching, geocaching, etc. Doesn’t need to be anything competitive or strenuous.

There are actual good employers out there. My last one gave me a sizeable raise out of nowhere because I had been working my ass off on a project.

But the only reason I was working my ass off was because they were good employers. They operated like a startup despite being in business since the 80s.

Then Musk fucked everything up.

But even before that, at the beginning of my IT career I went from a customer service agent to senior systems engineer in 5 years because I worked hard and took on projects that no one wanted to do.

The key is knowing when to put in the work and when to put in just enough to keep your job.

Global warming isn’t helping either.

How is shit like this in any way helpful? Find me a politician that hasn’t made a vote you disagree with.

The fun thing is when a hospital does this, then goes bankrupt. Especially with a small town county hospital.

She’s Hot Topic punk.

I don’t, but I have cone-rod dystrophy.

First off, inkjet printers have way more issues than the ink being expensive.

Secondly, the average household isn’t going to be printing enough to have to replace the drum every few years, or for toner dust to have an actual impact on indoor air quality.

My laser printer is nearly 20 years old, and I’ve only ever changed the drum because it came packaged with the toner cartridge, and I’ve only had to change that once.

Talk to a doctor first. The keto diet does have very real health risks.

It depends on your exercise. I do HIIT, and regularly burn about 800 Calories an hour. On leg day I can sometimes hit 1k.

Just a friendly fyi in case it wasn’t a speech to text thing, but it’s hunger pangs.

Yeah, just stick with weight classes.

Sounds like the guy was doing them a favor helping them dodge a bullet.

Surgery

And an explicitly stated criteria for genocide.
