SDGE (San Diego Gas and Electric) is now charging a monthly base service fee. "This fall, your SDG&E® bill will show electric delivery charges in a new way. This is not an extra charge, rather it is a change in how your bill is structured. California Assembly Bill 205 requires investor-owned electric utilities across the state to change how residential customers are billed to help make bills more transparent, while making it more affordable to use electric technologies, such as cars and appliances. We’re updating how some existing costs appear on your bill. Starting soon, you’ll see a new line item called the Base Services Charge, which will be approximately $24 per month. By moving some costs out of delivery pricing, you may pay about 10% less per kWh for the energy you use (roughly 5 cents per kWh on electric delivery). As a solar customer on a Net Energy Metering (NEM) plan, you will continue to receive a monthly statement. You can choose to pay the Base Services Charge each month or wait until your annual true-up. Please note, the Base Services Charge is not eligible to be offset by applied generation credits." I own my panels. The first few years I received a check from SDGE as I'm pumping more back into the grid than I consume. Next was implementation of tiered pricing (off-peak, super off-peak, peak... kWh cost varies depending on the hour of the day, time of year, etc), which turned my yearly true-up refund into to a charge of $100-200. Now this. Criminal for what is supposed to be a "utility" to scheme against solar customers just to make a buck.

I’m amazed how quickly I just ran through every word in his theme song in my mind right now.

In that video, their doctor apparently reports that he's 100% comfortable with him, no issues. He plays 3 games then misses the rest of the season w/ injury? Should that be concerning?

Predators roll together, Trump protects his own.

God Speed Art. Fond memories of your show when I was a teenager.

This is disgusting, but par for course for Trump, this convicted felon and sexual abuser. Saw a clip from 2020 where a now deceased Epstein victim gave an interview in which she said Maxwell was even worse than Epstein. So lets reward this convicted sex trafficker and child predator by putting her in a country club jail instead of serving her 20 years in a prison that suits her evil crimes. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-privately-dismissed-epstein-victims-democrats-1235407549/

Isn't it obvious? Custom.

Something tax-related. The Taxman, Tax Consultant, Tax Collector?

https://www.audacy.com/wben/news/local/veteran-buffalo-broadcaster-art-wander-dies-at-98 RIP to the Tiny Tot of the Kilowatt His daughter, Kelley Clem, said Wander was discussing New York Mets baseball with her just the night before his passing. He died with a Buffalo Bills blanket on his bed, a Mets banner nearby, and Frank Sinatra’s "My Way" playing on his Alexa, which she says he affectionately called "Alaska." Wander served in the U.S. Navy, producing radio programs for the Veterans Administration hospital system. In 1956, he joined WKBW radio as a news reporter.

I'd put him at 2C and Tage back to 1C. I like the minutes at 2C better for him with his injury history. I think he's one of the more important players for us in terms of needing him to fill a void.

Political posturing/grandstanding, I think the right wing eats it up. Newsome is hated by many and an easy target. I don't believe trump is vying for a third term, I think he's worried about the midterms. If the left gets the house they'll spend the next two years trying to impeach him, and there's valid reasons to do so.

I'm tempted. What to put where name customization goes...

He said Rob Ray, so I doubt it.

I don't care for Newsom but he's not wrong.

Fear mongering... lol

It's okay. I don't mind that you have different views than I, won't tell you you're wrong, and won't judge you for having them.

Nope, no time honored fascist tactics here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/08/14/trump-data-misinformation/

What you take as hyperbolic fear mongering being funny, I take as a clear warning sign of where we are as an American democracy. I suspect other societies in the throes of fascist authoritarian takeovers in the past thought similar warnings were mere hyperbolic fear mongering as well. Only to be left wondering how it all happened when it was too late.

Nobody would've said boo about the Dudacek pick had it been even a 3rd or 4th rounder. Blowing a 1st rounder on a guy that was MAYBE a 20:1 shot to ever come over to this side of the pond was ridiculous. Heck, Moe-ray-all drafted Tretiak, but only spent a 7th rounder on him, NOT a 1st.

I agree 100% but I cant get past the "that pick hit an iceberg" lol.... I remember being a kid being so hyped for Dudacek he was the next Statsny or something like that... and poor Morris never could come back from the back injury... and yeah, Nylander and Grigorenko were horrid picks.

Another three judge panel where out of 11 judges, seven democratic appointees and four republican appointees, two of the minority four are on it. How are these judges selected to sit on the panels? Appeals court allows Trump administration to resume foreign aid cuts The Hill, by Zack Schofeld A federal appeals court voted 2-1 on Wednesday to lift an order requiring the Trump administration to resume billions of dollars in foreign aid payments. The divided U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit panel found a lower judge erred when he restored the flow of funds in March. Two groups of grant recipients sued over allegations the cancellations infringe on the separation of powers since Congress had appropriated the money, but the panel ruled they can’t bring such a claim. https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5450232-appeals-court-lifts-aid-order/amp/

I laugh because I find the hyperbolic fear mongering funny? I take it as seriously as the 51st state nonsense.
