  1. Ha, I knew someone was going to call me out on that. Surprised it took this long.
  2. I expected to see the Chevy truck guy to pop out of nowhere
  3. I just signed a 6 month contract with Texans Energy for $.8/kWh. Well that is based 1000 kWh. I'm usually under 1000 kWh and that rate is $.85/kWh. Most rates I see look pretty good until I notice they are all priced at 2000 kWh, which suck because I will never use that.
  4. Correa needs to move to 3rd. His body isn't built for a SS. Mccullers needs to move to the bullpen and be a closer.
  5. Yeah, you want differential synchronization. Currently OneDrive will work with MS Office apps, but not with lager files.
  6. The Toasted Coconut is more of a bar than a restaurant, but they have very good food. Same owners as Nobie's
  7. It's 20+ years old. Buy a new fridge
  8. Yep, and a built in ad-blocker
  9. 90's Milo was great. So many good quotes
  10. I live on Fairview and Waugh. There are at least 10 bars and at 15 good places to eat within a 15 minute walk. Midtown and downtown are a short bike ride away.
  11. +rep for not calling it a hot water heater
  12. The Red Light District is way overrated these days. Just take a quick stroll and then go elsewhere.
  13. I'm in for a raffle ticket
  14. I was telling Mez that Osuna relies on batters to chase his pitch. Where as Presley can throw in the strike zone and still strike batters out. I just got a strange look.
  15. Jesus, how the hell do you fuck up a MLB thread? I didn't think it could be done, but surly never disappoints.
  16. I have to bring the top inside after use. Otherwise it will rust. It's pretty damn heavy.
  17. This sums up Griddy pretty well. https://www.energychoiceexperts.com/ece-blog/2018/11/25/griddy-review Is Griddy right for anyone? Well, if you meet all of the criteria below, they might be right for you. If you don’t meet these criteria, don’t waste your money on Griddy’s service. use a lot of electricity. If you use only 500 kWh/month of electricity, the $10/month fee is effectively an increase of 2 cents/kWh, which significantly increases your annual cost of electricity. However, if you use a lot more electricity than that per month, the effective increase has less impact. For example, if you use 5,000 kWh/month, the effective increase is only 0.2 cents/kWh. You have the ability to change your usage based upon the current wholesale price. In order to reduce your electricity usage when you get a price spike, you need to invest in smart home features such as thermostats and lights that you can control from your smartphone no matter where you are. For a cheaper, but less effective option, you can program timers for your pool pump and appliances to run during hours the rates are typically cheaper. You are willing to adjust your lifestyle around current energy prices. Once you’ve made the investment in smart home features, you must also be willing to change your lifestyle to get the savings. Melissa K. turned off her heat on a cold morning when the rate was over $1/kWh, over 25 times the usual rate. Many people would probably do the same for such a high spike (though some might choose a warm house over saving money). But what if the rate is $0.20/kWh? What if it’s $0.15/kWh? At what point would you be willing to be hot in the summer or cold in the winter? Further, can everyone living in the house agree to the same breaking point, or will Griddy ultimately lead to family arguments? Is monitoring energy prices and changing your lifestyle accordingly a hassle you are willing to endure?
  18. That seems like a lot of work for 4 fillets. Couldn't you do the same on a pan in the kitchen? I mean, that looks delicious and perfect, but I reserve my griddle for mass consumption. Sometimes the kitchen is easier.
  19. Wasn't that something like a 12 pitch at bat?
  20. I'm shopping and it's hard to find a good rate under 1000 kWh. 6 - 7 months out of the year I'm under 1000 kWh , and I'm finding most companies jack up the rate very high when you are under. No natural gas for me and 3 of those 1000 kWh months are in the winter (Dec - Feb), so maybe the low winter rates would work in my advantage with a company like Griddy. I imagine renewal rates will also be cheaper in the fall and winter? Is it almost impossible to find a flat fixed rate under .10 these days?
  21. ^^^Also works on the buses. You can't use cash on the trains and bus. You need to purchase a ticket before, or have a pass, ect...
  22. Have the Astros ever had a 1- 9 lineup with every player hitting 10+ HRs in a season?
  23. Apple Pay and Google Pay also work on the tube. Just tap your phone and go - no need to charge an Oyster card. Almost everyone will accept a contactless credit card in London. Apple/Google Pay will work If you don't have a contactless card.
  24. Chromecast it to your TV
