Since it is Christmas eve I will be kind and not unload on this twerp. You're in Waterloo, Iowa. What did you expect? Samantha Ponder?
I always wonder why TV stations have someone stand outside during a catastrophic weather event to tell viewers how bad it is and why they should not go inside. Finallly someone who got the weather assignment asks the same question This sports anchor expected to one day be known for something… he would never have imagined it would be for reporting on the weather.
On the bright side he made The ONT.
Fido is OK. The house isn't.
A dog is believed to have caused a fire in a house on Christmas Eve after accidentally turning a hairdryer on. Essex Fire Service said crews were called to Hockley, Essex, following reports of a smoke-filled house. Firefighters worked quickly to extinguish the fire after locating it in the bedroom. The dog was waiting by the front door when the homeowner returned and both were treated for smoke inhalation, the service said.
This nurse gets it. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Night.
MURRAY — An emergency room nurse at Intermountain Medical Center is using his funky hairdos to make his patients smile. Nurse Thomas "Zach" Zacharias said when the pandemic first hit, his children looked for a way to pass the time. They decided to shave dad's head into a mohawk and paint it. "You had the lockdowns, you had patients that were isolated so we wanted to do something fun," Zacharias said. "COVID took away 50% of my ability to express myself [with a mask on] so we went up and we found another 50% we could do something with."
Busted before making The Waffle House. Genius Award Winners.
Initially, the officer pursued the vehicle under suspicion that its occupants may have been involved in criminal activity. When that officer caught up to the car in a driveway, eight individuals fled the car. All of them were caught and detained. The teens told police they snuck out of the house and were on their way to Waffle House. "Unfortunately, they decided to run from the police and were caught, thus placing them on Santa’s last minute naughty list," a spokesperson for the department posted, referring to the incident, on Facebook. "Parents, please talk to your children as they are off from school for the holidays and ensure they are not out causing problems," the post continued. "If they are, expect to be woken from your sleep by a phone call or knock on the door from officers."
Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by your local Volunteer Fire Fighter.

The other night I was marveling at my heat pump's performance, managing to cycle (reach set point) even when the temp was 10F and below. I wondered if it was just running the strips all the time or something.
Well, I did some research on the modern heat pump control logic, and basically that was indeed what it was doing. The T-stat logic looks at temperature as normal, but looks at rate of change. Once is goes it gets so cold outside, it notices the rate of change of temp decreases when it's on. Let it drop below the strip droop point too many times, and it just goes into a mode where it turns the strips on, and keeps them on until indooor set point is reached.
The idea is it's better to this, and let the system reach set point, rather than sitting there and running the compressor continuously, and just cycling the strips at the droop point.

No more dancing around compensation questions during job interviews: California now requires most employers to disclose pay scales upfront.
The new law requires all workplaces with 15 or more employees to include a salary range in job postings.
I guess saying that the salary range is from $1/yr to $1,000,000/yr, depending on experience and qualifications, won't be allowed.
And there's this:
In addition, employers with 100 or more workers must submit certain data to the state, including salaries of employees and contractors broken down by gender, race and ethnicity.
Which will be handed to the trial lawyers, whenever they feel like suing an employer for discrimination.

Mrs. Dukes hourly usage date for the past couple of days is available now. Temp here started dropping like a rock early Friday morning, around 4AM or so. Wind picked up and temps dropped rapidly.
There was a bit of inertia with the house, about 5 hour delay. Average power usage was about 2.2kW before that. By about 10AM Friday morning, well power usage doubled to over 5kW by Saturday.
That, in a microcosm, shows you what happened to Mrs. Duke's grid when that artic blast hit. Demand shot the fucking Moon.

They've thought of that - that's why you have to include contractors in your count, in case you thought of getting around the law that way.
Of course, since California is in the process of outlawing contractors, that may not be terribly relevant.

They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little.

I've heard of it in cats, but had never seen before until I met this little guy. I really can't keep him, though. I just acquired a fourth cat that is struggling to fit in with my previous three and I don't have room for any more litter boxes. So he stays outside. He can have food, water and shelter in the wintertime, but when it's warm enough, he'll have to leave...

I had a strange twitter experience today. Someone mentioned the Nashville Christmas bombing, so I looked up tweets about that and commented on one that was pretty old without too many comments.
A few minutes later, I looked at the "tweet analytics" and found that I had a huge number of impressions, for me anyway, in a very short time. I also had about a dozen new followers, most of them Asian and a couple guys with no followers. Am I being paranoid here? Does 500 views in less than five minutes on a "dead thread" sort of post seem normal?
I kicked off the followers and deleted my comment.

Here's an article explaining why everyone needs to be put on time-of-use electric rates, so they can screw you if you dare to use electricity when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing.
https://tinyurl.com/3a3ncvy2
Which included this:
Utilities are partnering with companies like Opower to provide customers with mobile apps and reports that help them monitor and understand their electricity usage. A typical report may allow a customer to compare her usage over 12 months with her 100 closest neighbors and 20 most energy-efficient neighbors.

I have the USPS service that sends you an e-mail showing the covers of your incoming mail, and on the 23rd discovered that I was getting an official letter from the IRS for some unknown reason.
Ice storm on the 23rd and the 24th, so I didn't make it out to the local mailbox pillar (which has mailboxes for about a dozen houses) until today.
No letter from the IRS, but I did get about half-a-dozen letters addressed to my neighbors. Apparently the postman simply gave up on sorting the mail.
Hopefully some friendly neighbor will give me my IRS letter - if I don't get it by Tuesday, I'll shoot an e-mail to my accountant asking what to do (which will also start building a paper trail showing that I didn't get the letter).

Capitalism has a great way to get people to intelligently reduce usage...you make them pay for it.
But we are so far from capitalism now that the Gods of the Copybook Headings will start coming back in all sorts of "unexpected" ways. You mean if you cut supply AND increase the population AND give half the population enough money to pay for electricity not out of their own pocket that...supply won't meet demand? I am...shocked! Or not I guess.

Strangely enough our weather so far has been better than alot of other places. We never lose power here, unlike in South Carolina.
Late fall the ranchers move their livestock down out of the mountains closer to town. We love hearing the cows mooing in winter. Also the wildlife moves to town for winter. You'll see moose and deer walking everywhere in town. It's awesome.

does not wear a red suit
fringed with white fur,
and black boots
and a broad black belt.
Not every night of the year.
Don't cry.

Way back when debating Obamacare was a thing I pointed out to lefties that if you have the government picking up your healthcare bill that you strongly incentivize them to make that bill as small as possible by getting rid of you.
The response was always something along the lines of "the people in government care unlike people in business!" but of course the bottom line is always the bottom line.

The people in government are actually more dangerous than the people in the healthcare business and always have been.
Clinicians want you as if nothing else a return client, whereas the politician wants you dead if you get social security, and could not give less a fuck if you live from denied medical aid.

Netflix is threatening criminal charges for password sharing in 2023 - next week. I pay for it every month and never watch a damn thing. My wife does watch and we password share with my daughter in another state who occasionally watches. So Netflix allegedly has an option to pay a few dollars more per month to password share. Except they don't. Anywhere on their 'plan options' screen.
Which leaves me with one option, terminate. With extreme prejudice.

The walarm drones will drop packages in the safest place at the customers homes, front or backyard or driveway.

So, you leave home to run errands or something then your walmart order drops on you, your vehicle or other people. Are you going to be given a certain time for delivery so you don't get killed ?
I just don't get it.

When I lived in Illinois, we had Jewel groceries. For some reason I think they were Jewel Tea way back before they were just Jewel. I'm on a sugar high still, lol, so I could be wrong.

We're southern, living the western life. Blackened peas are a must. They represent coins and you have to have some type of greens too. They represent folding money. Good luck for the year. I love folklore.
