Given that they said first to market for the region originally I'm in the bad reporting camp too. Amazon Fresh closed some stores but also they also recently said they were intending to "go big" in brick and mortar grocery market.

Edit: Thought this was the Alverser development at first, that was the one that used the first to market language. Not sure if they said the same about Hull.

While not great for the consumer, it isn't nearly as big of a surcharge as their other recent rate hikes.

>If the State Corporation Commission approves, the surcharge would boost a benchmark 1,000 kilowatt-hour a month bill, which now costs $137, by $4.64.

Having the SCC reduce their allowed profit margin or base rate would do far more for our bills than pulling out of the RGGI.

Historically I believe we have gotten more money for flood prevention, etc. than we put in due to being able to sell unneeded credits but that may not have held up for every year.

Yeah that sounds like him. He's gonna need to find a new long-term squeeze or invest in a nanny if he wants things to work out. Hopefully it will hit him that the way things are now he can't be standard Joe and be responsible for small children full time.

Definitely agree with Soloemilia. Not having people, especially a woman, capitulate to him probably pissed him off the most.

Still sick but no fever today so that's good.

Today I'm smoking a pork butt, harvesting some weed & maybe regripping my golf clubs.

A Skies of Arcadia:Legends run is just starting on GDQ if anyone is into that.

Thanks!

Nothing that you or I can do will change between tonight and tomorrow so you have a good plan.

On a more upbeat note I'm glad that TLoU seems to be good. Once this season is over I plan on resubbing to watch it and House of the Dragon. Normally I'd just torrent it but I'd like for the views to count.

Been fighting a head cold all week so taking it easy with some bud and games.

Watched our latest taxpayer funded snuff film and while I could say a lot I'll keep it short and sweet and say we need to do better than the dumb motherfuckers that get to be cops currently. Otherwise people will continue to rightfully hate them, and people that actually need help aren't going to get it.

I'm not sure if there are enough long gun thefts from cars that it is as big of an issue, usually if you're out and about with a long gun you're either going to the range or hunting rather than keeping it in the car constantly(which IMO is a bad idea anyway).

Most of mine are just in soft cases too for transport so while I could stick a little luggage lock on the zippers it wouldn't really accomplish anything nor would they fit in a glovebox or car safe.

Trying to get some work done this afternoon but so far my head is not in the game so I'll probably end up finishing things tomorrow.

Other than that just making a small grocery run and solo chilling this evening.

I think I read on here somewhere that sauerkraut and pork is a new year's thing for some people so I'm gonna have that tonight for something different to eat with pulled pork (I smoked a 9lb butt yesterday and already did the standard southern sides).

Baking and baking. A little concerned about the Dominion email about conserving power usage but other than not doing laundry tonight that's about all I can cut out that'd be meaningful.

Thanks. I'm definitely a sucker for tabbies too. I finally placated the other one with some paper cuttings but I'll have to try wrapping her up next time, that sounds hilarious and she definitely has an attitude.

Was in a pretty melancholy mood earlier but I've got a fire going and booze for heat. Currently trying to keep a cat hellbent on destroying ribbon and wrapping paper away from the gifts.

Definitely regretting not picking up something for dinner but there's stuff in the fridge that today was the eat/freeze deadline for so I'll have to cook something here soon.

Edit: Cat tax. The void is the destructive one, the other is just trying to chill by the fire. https://imgur.com/a/vrDwEXh
