It's a feature not a bug

Let us know how it goes

Reddit is new facebook at this point. A friend's mom made a reddit account to upvote cat pictures a couple of weeks ago.

The majority of our generation here in CA is PV during daylight hours and nat. gas generation plants (plus the odd nuke plant here and there) to cover any shortages. We have some battery storage to convert that PV generation capacity into night time power but not nearly enough. We have very little geothermal or tidal generation here.

Most of the abusive cost of electricity here is PG&E offloading their $20B+ wildfire liability from 2015-2019 onto customers.

Every single home I've lived in since the late 90s has used nat gas for water and central heating. Electric is becoming popular over time but gas is still very common.

It's anywhere between 45¢ and like 90¢? here at peak time of use rates. The rate increases past 25¢/kWh are almost entirely to pay off PG&E's wildfire liability after they committed fraud and used their transmission maintenance budget to pay dividends for 20+y.

The century where electricity costs us 50-75¢/kWh (headed for $1/kWh by 2028-2030) and gas is significantly less expensive to use for heating.

Deregulation absolutely fucked California's energy markets and the PUC+PG&E are going to keep the deep dicking going as long as humanly possible.

The recycle bin? You mean the other landfill bin, right?

Grim is overrated, Arcana is great with just about every single enchantment

Ring of Arcana boosts every enchantment, glyph and curse. When the proc rate hits 100% (which it does by default with Projecting) the bonus is also applied to the power of the effect (aka solid tile penetrating distance.) Great with projecting, kinetic, etc.

SPD has the salt cube trinket in 2.5.0, it slows satiety loss at the cost of heavily reducing passive HP regen. Works well with the chalice and or a vampiric weapon.

This is much too large for some images

This is it right here, this is all you need.

So don't buy one? You don't need a new phone every 1-2y unless you're a spectacularly well trained consumer.

I usually replace my phone every 3-4y when power efficiency and performance have significantly improved, or there's a new radio standard that I need (5G, AX WiFi) or the camera makes me want an upgrade. If none of those things are true then use your phone until it dies 🤷‍♂️

Why stop at five? Start a gofundme and send any that want to go!

Do you actually need a new phone? If you don't need any new features just have your battery replaced and keep using it.

Any time you see "the economy" replace it with "rich people's money" and you'll see exactly why we're making the policy choices we're making.
