Time to get your steps in, human!

I drive really slow in the ultra fast lane!

The most recent article in the post is about 4 years old. I definitely recall learning this a while ago.

Put the LLM instructions in the header or footer section, and set the text color to match the background. Try it on your résumé.

My thermostat automatically drops to 65F/18C at 8PM.

If OP’s plan is similar to mine, there are three pricing periods during the day: standard rate charged in the morning/early afternoon, highest rate charged during peak hours of the afternoon, and then a discounted rate charged in the evening/night.

The idea is to encourage people to do energy intensive tasks like running dishwashers and laundry at night when the demand on the grid is lowest.

ETA: Sorry, to actually answer your question, yes you could blast the AC early in the day to “pre-cool” for the peak hours. My ecobee is linked with my utility account to sync with the different pricing periods and does exactly that.

Oh, I wasn’t bitching at you or anything.

If you’re actually curious, the funky letters are the upper- and lowercase of the Old/Middle English letter Eth that represents the “th” sound.

Why anyone would use it today? Maybe they think it’s “quirky”?

To get you to engage with questions like that. Just ignore it.

I’m an atheist and even I think the dude’s a twat who enjoys the smell of his own farts.

It’s just so dang cute!

It’s ridiculous how obsolete US utility companies are, especially water companies that often require you to show up to their office in person to activate service or set up automatic payments (You want a voided paper check? I don’t even have checks for my account. What’s wrong with a debit card?).

And they go crazy with their estimated bills. I worked an IT job where I’d fly to some city in the US for a week of work, fly home on Friday, do laundry and submit expense reports, and do it all again the next week. Was pretty much never home. Got a water bill for $300+, and they wanted to try and argue with me that the bill was correct. They suggested maybe I had a leak somewhere, as if a leak that resulted in a $300+ bill wouldn’t have been causing some blatantly obvious issues that I would have seen.

Split ends and highlights?

Much easier to fall off a balcony than through a window. Convenient feature in Russian culture.

In our super-stellar, better-than-everyone-else, American exceptionalism job market, many Americans end up working their asses off for less than minimum wage in the service industry at least once in their lives. Enough so that we’re all mostly familiar with the most common industry slang.

If you honestly expected a different general response to this question given the current US political climate and America’s reputation abroad, I’ve got a highly lucrative meme coin to sell you.

At my college, if there were any unpaid fines/fees, they held your diploma rather than just the transcripts.

Although as often as I’ve had to show my diploma, I’d guess withholding that would probably be about as effective as the transcripts, lol.

the curvature of Earth doesn’t exist for elves

Doesn’t it? Haven’t come across anything in Tolkien’s works that says this.
