Electric bill this month was almost $500. Stupid fucking Texas power grid...
How? Mine hasn't even hit $100, although it's been close the last couple of months.
Maybe that's when your electric went out? Can't be billed for something you're not getting...
- um wait -
I'll bet they're trying to: "you normally use <x> amount during this time period. Obviously the meter wasn't working, so we'll just assume you used that amount"

I would have taken a photo but it flew off. It was definitely a standard moth.

Poured hot espresso on top of cold milk, assuming I'd get warm milky coffee. The layers remained separate, so I got hot coffee with a cold milk chaser... and I didn't hate it. It was kind of nice.
You've almost arrived at the Kiss of Bokonon recipe: Hot coffee floated with cold rum sunk with cold egg nog.

Nope. I get a graph of daily actual cost/usage (but not on the same graph) and temperature. Winter/spring usage is fairly consistent day to day. (Just lights, computers, microwave and such; heating, hot water and stove/over are all natural gas, which is a different bill. Well, the furnace blower affects the electric bill, but not the energy to heat the air, and it's the same blower for both heating and cooling.) Summer cost/usage is 2x–3x cool weather usage, and very noisy.

Status: Royally pissed off that hte designers of the ESP-01 board were assholes that didn't make this connection on their layout:
This connection would, at worst, do nothing. At best, it lets users deep-sleep the unit with built-in function calls and let it wake up on a timer.
Instead I have to try micro-soldering a bodge wire to enable this functionality.
My success rate is 1 for 3 so far. But it does work...

Status: so fucking bored, i don’t know what to do with my life. It’s Saturday, I woke up at 9am, now it’s 12:15 and I haven’t left the bed yet.
Weather doesn’t seem as bad as the last several weeks. Maybe I could go outside, but I tried going for a bike ride yesterday and after 20 minutes I was bored because that’s no fun alone either.
-
@topspin bruh I woke up at 4am because a tire in my sister's car exploded (not went flat; exploded) and she needed a ride. Now I can't go to sleep again and I need to go to tire shop in the morning and then I have guests in the noon and I can't cancel it because it's my aunt who I haven't seen since I left Poland. Also my cat was spayed last week but something is wrong and had to take her to vet again yesterday so had to take quarter day off at work and also a key snapped in the front door lock and had to replace the lock ASAP and generally I wish my life was as boring as yours.

@topspin I love my cat. You want a hamster? You can have the hamster. Fucking psychopath, I can't wait for it to die.

@topspin: why don't you adopt @Tsaukpaetra? You'll no longer be lonely, and your life won't ever be boring, ever.

A tire shop is indeed the best place for help with that.

Have you tried resigning yourself to drawing something you don’t particularly care for, feeling angsty about the quality, and uploading it to the internet with commentary alluding to your mental state?

My drawing is indistinguishable from doodling of a 3 year old or orangutan. So unless I’m aiming for the MOMA, there won’t be many people to care about it.

If you practice, over time your drawings will be distinguishable from the doodling of a 3 year old or orangutan.
Seriously, though, most people can learn to draw well. You just need practice and some instruction from someone who knows what they're doing. This might be a good place to start:

STATUS I was almost filtered by the capra demon. Gave up on him for a while and wandered to the undead asylum. It's a lot easier when you can parry everything. Stray demon I left alone. Went back to the capra demon and beat him on the fourth death. Finaly got to anor londo but my damage output is making this tricky. Dex weapons are fun but not easy.

About that - no, they're not arriving at noon, they're arriving at 3PM. And they only decided to tell me about it now. Which is 2PM. For the last two hours it's been "we'll be right there".
I fucking hate people. Especially people who I can't tell to go fuck themselves for the shit they're pulling because they have higher rank than me in the family tree.

I do find some enjoyment in cleaning things. It's just, normally things are higher in the priority queue so it doesn't happen often...

It's admittedly difficult to procure blank act surfaces if you don't go looking for them.
Good news, delivery services are on the rise so actually obtaining them is potentially more convenient!

Yesterday for lunch I ate some vegetarian food my gf had left over several days before. A bunch of mixed vegetables, including carrots and soy shoots. Also some "meatballs" evidently made mostly out of mashed peas; I could taste the pea-ness.
At dinner she asked me what I thought of it.
It was not half bad, but I didn't much care for the soy sauce to be honest.
Soy sauce?
Yes, the dark sauce. Wasn't that soy sauce?
... There wasn't supposed to be any sauce.Today... let's just say my choice of forum flare remains appropriate.
Perhaps "regular" might not be exactly the case, but "this user is not constipated" definitely still applies.

Our's was ripped down a few years ago. A whole new downtown complex was supposed to be built. Lawyers got involved. Much sadness was had.
