Yeah, you're likely getting a lot of heat rising up from downstairs. I used to live on a 3rd floor and had the same thing.

Yeah because your house is staying above 65 without doing anything. I have my heat set at 65 and it comes on all the time. Are you in a 3rd floor apt?

Aren't utilities always monopolies? Electricity is the only one I have, do people have a choice with water or natural gas?

How are the lines?

Don’t forget the “Fine-shtine” part.

I've never seen an article or study that this is actually happening. I've seen plenty that say it's possible. Or that we may get some opt-in feature for a cost savings, but I've never read that it's being done by force. I've had 2 smart thermostats for almost 10 years, not once has my heat gone down without me changing it. Why would they even want to. Assuming a grand conspiracy is in place the oil barons pulling the strings would want me to burn more oil or use more juice so they can bill me.

I second that. The Sensi uses a battery (I think to make up for the lack of a C wire). I have no complaints about it. The battery lasts a long time. You get a warning when it's getting low. And it has all the same features like a smart app, event alerts, schedules, and Alexa integration. It also has a setting to prevent short-cycling.

That's a weird one. My first thought was the landlord chasing the old stereotype about pitbulls; but trying to match up a shit sample!? Probably cheaper to get some cameras.

Right because who can repeatedly bend their head down to pavement level without passing out?

I don't understand why they don't give the monitors a mirror on a stick like border patrol. I have to imagine all that bending and standing is not comfortable for the (often older) monitors leading to a half-hearted effort. I know if I had to get my head down that low and stand, and repeat 3-4 times per stop I'd get dizzy.

I can understand not leaving the stadium to rot and taking it down while the money is available. But this five-year plan? That's shit's going way over budget, they always do.

I don’t really blame people for starting Christmas right after Halloween. This time of year is a blur. If you wait until after thanksgiving it’ll be over before you know it. At least from my pov where Christmas is over on the 25th.

I try, especially when towing, but some asshole always fills the gap. And I slow down, create a new gap, and here comes another asshole.

Drive like an asshole and die from ectopic pregnancy ...VOTE...REPUBLICAN.

> he doesn’t have much going for him

So true. We've got a turd sandwich vs giant douche situation.

> Because "things staying the same" isn't a terrifying thought?

Compared to what the Republicans are doing, no it's not.

> what kind of candidate is this

Just like 45. Never held office before, not qualified, blasting out the buzz-words Fox-viewers want to hear. I honestly think RI will be a shit-show if she gets in. If it's McKee at least things will likely stay the same.

That's a cool idea. What do you do when you visit one? Do you just look around and leave?
