@dallygwillikers @ScottGustin It does look 10 times cooler than this.

No doubt.

🚨 American went to lower the air conditioner in her home and her Smart AC gave her a warning she was not allowed to lower the temperature

“My own thermostat was 79 — it had a little warning that said, "You are not allowed to lower your thermostat set point because the energy grid in your regional area is stressed”

This is with Xcel Energy in Colorado

This woman enrolled in Xcel’s voluntary demand-response AC Rewards-style program. Apparently they lure you in with sign on credits of around $50-150 dollars and then they can set limits on your AC

These programs are being run in multiple states already

It starts out as optional to get you used to it and then it becomes mandatory

There's this guy on TikTok who goes into Walmarts with a calibrated scale and weighs packages of food to find many are significantly underweight. If he complains to the management, they ignore him. Eventually the stores kick him out. This has gone on for months.

Corporate gave some non-responsive statement to USA Today to the effect of if you, personally, discover you've been shorted, you can ask for a refund, but this guy investigating is still banned. Obviously this creates a bias in favor of the store since they can fail to address the issue systematically while the means of restitution requires individual consumer action, and most people don't weigh packaged food.

Don't we have government departments that only exist to handle this full time? Shouldn't it be impossible to make a series out of this if they're doing their job? If the government isn't enforcing the law, why should we respect the right of the store to trespass people publicizing the issue?

Nobody talks about how "parking" used to cost quarters. Now it's $8/hour, requires an app, won't take cash, and charges you a $2 "convenience fee" to pay digitally. You're paying a tech tax to leave your car in a painted rectangle. Public space has been monetized into oblivion.

A family in western Colombia captured the moment a powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake hit their home in Pereira.

Just ONE more day.

[Todd Spence @Todd_Spence]

While filming the SEINFELD episode "The Abstinence", Jerry hadn't seen what Michael Richards's constant cigar smoking makeup looked like. Combined with Richards never going full force during rehearsals, and only seeing his real performance during the live taping, Jerry couldn't help but break character 😂

@T_Oglesby22 As a UNC fan as soon as news dropped that he became eligible a lot of online fans began to say no we don't want him. We have some of the worst online fans out there with crazy bad takes.
