I'm a 4.5 and those are my favorite shows.

Dallas. We're 97-101 the next few days, then it drops to 90 with a chance of rain Thursday and Friday. Glad I'm not in Houston sweating without electricity!

When you start checking those page numbers (if this is the same version that's been circulating) you may find that they don't line up to those plans.

2400 sq ft. Just two of us now, but I'm home in the day during the summer and we have frequent guests. In past years we had elderly mom and nursing care here so we had to keep it comfortable all day. We heat/cool upstairs only at night, downstairs only in the day and close vents in unused rooms. Our mid-90's HVAC can't get to 70°. We did get an electric pellet grill last year and we've been using it a lot to keep from heating the house. I wonder how much that adds.

Who's your provider? My plan is about to expire. I'm looking at Octopus for 13.4 cents.

In Texas? It's 600 degrees here today. Friend refers to it as Satan's asshole.

I have a couple of u-tec ones. They work on a fingerprint or code. You can set codes for other people either permanently or temporarily. If you have the Wi-Fi bridge you can lock it and unlock it from a distance. They're not cheap.

Maybe it depends on your energy provider and whether you have a fixed rate or variable rate plan? I don't know if other places have those options or not. Check out powertochoes.org if you don't know what I mean. Mine just went up from $200 to $300 this month with the heat. My highest is usually 1-2 months of ~$350.

NGL, i was a little disappointed when i scrolled down and she wasn't sitting on this. Yours is probably more comfy!

One of these people was in the news for attacking a member of Congress on her looks and then being called out for it. The other one was in the news for giving a handjob in a theater. You think that is what it means to be a woman?!?! As a person, as a woman, I am horrified by your misogyny!!

They're both horrible people. I labeled them by their recent news. You're defending them because they're women?

They're free, unlimited, and they mean nothing.

Cleaning out my mom's house. I hate to trash things that may be useful to someone else and some of it's probably worth some $$. I've used Facebook marketplace a couple of times. I've heard of OfferUp and LetGo but haven't used them. Where will i get the best response and $? Should i just pile it all up and do an online estate sale instead? TIA. Also, if anyone has done this and has any general tips, please share.

My 10 year old pup is going blind. We've been in the same house for most of her life and she's doing ok, but I'm worried it's going to get more difficult for her. She's not the smartest, but she can sit, lie down, and shake on command. I've read several articles about scent training but would like to get tips from someone who has done it. I'm thinking of using 4 different scents for bed, toys, stairs, and food/water - i know she can smell the food, but i want to make sure she can find the water bowl when she's outside. Is that too many?

One article recommended marking a path on the floor/ground so she knows where there's a clear route. Another suggested marking furniture/obstacles so she knows where to avoid.

If you have any experience with this and can offer tips, i would appreciate it. Also, if you want to share any happy stories about your VI pets, i would love to hear them. It's heartbreaking to see her misjudge the doorway or bonk into things.

Have you ever been asked to participate in a political poll? Do you know of anyone who has?

Edit to clarify that by 'snuggle' i meant all pets, scritches, belly rube, squeezes, ass pats, questions about who's the goodest, nicknaming, etc.

Sick and feel like I've hit the end of Netflix, Prime, ... Is there a community about what everyone is streaming/recommending?

Is it a 'thank you for prepping my room' or 'please clean my room today'? If you tip post cleaning, it's likely going to someone else the next day. Many hotels now only do housekeeping on demand. How do employees feel about this - do they miss the tips or are they happy for a less stressful workday?

ETA- I'm in the US. Does the rest of the world tip housekeeping? I always have when traveling because I do at home, but I don't know what the norm is.

There's a vaporent community and a vaporists community. Neither have been active for almost a year. It would be nice to have one of those going to see what everybody's using. I also miss the old old cult/ Franklin/thca groups from r/. Anyone interested in starting one of those?

Boss is going away for a few days and we're trying to create a fun surprise for when she returns. Our offices are all shared so it has to be limited to a small area and can't impact other people toooo much.

It's very sad, but with the holiday weekend I've been able to keep it in the back of my mind instead of the front. Now that Mom is sharing info on services, i can't imagine actually going there and seeing and what to say... and it's getting to me, a lot. Today is a celebration day in my house and i don't want to bring my family down, so i just need a place to rest this until i can get back to it tomorrow and begin processing. Sorry for public journaling.

Anyone registered to vote can choose a Republican or Democratic ballot. Many of the people on the Democratic ballot (in my area) are running unopposed, so it was a good opportunity to try to get the least crazy people on the November ballot. Also, the republican ballot has 13 propositions that are not on the Democratic one, so that's your only chance to have a say in those (and IMO they are really really bad!)

It was initially used by BP to shift blame to consumers instead of oil companies.
