Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Just opened up the spreadsheet again:
1093 kWh was $100.65 in July ($0.09/kWh)
906 kWh was $199.53 in August ($0.22/kWh)
I could've saved $100 in August if I wasted excessively :D
What the fuck?

The same way that buying 3 sixpacks of Coke (18) is slightly more expensive than buying a full case (24). If you buy the "extra" six cans, you get a discount. But you wouldn't then walk outside and dump the extra sixpack in the dirt - you'd drink them.
Turning a big potentiometer attached to a cable running straight into the Earth and looking back at the electric company like a contestant on The Price is Right.
