Replying to Dialga #god_of_time

i only got my first one when i started taking GED classes, which was around the time i would have been in like, 11th grade i think it was

My first one was in grade 12 because my mom wanted me to have one since I would be bussing to university

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 1:53 AM politics

I did not want one at any point before that

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 1:53 AM politics

maybe power costs more where you are Pika, but in VA I feel like the cost of my wasteful energy use is $20/year max

legorhin Dec 19, 2024 1:53 AM politics

I had one because I did sports

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 1:53 AM politics

I am just stingy spooky

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 1:53 AM politics

and individual things literally arre worthless

Dialga Dec 19, 2024 1:53 AM politics

Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak

I did not want one at any point before that

yeah pretty much the same scenario.

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 1:53 AM politics

my electric bill is usually 60-75/month

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 1:53 AM politics

yeah it's more expensive there then

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 1:54 AM politics

the streamer house with my servers, plants, and not giving a shit about power draw, I pay about the same

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 1:54 AM politics

I know it is legitimately negligable, it just feels wrong

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 1:54 AM politics

Same reason I shut my phone off at night

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 1:54 AM politics

I am not using it, it is off

Dialga Dec 19, 2024 1:54 AM politics

i am not using my phone barely ever

Dialga Dec 19, 2024 1:55 AM politics

it stays on

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 1:55 AM politics

I mean, I agree with Pika at some level

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 1:55 AM politics

because I turn off my car when I'm not using it

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 1:55 AM politics

so it is a cost thing

Dialga Dec 19, 2024 1:55 AM politics

i want my phone on though because i use it for my wakeup alarm

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 1:55 AM politics

I have a proper alarm clock

Dialga Dec 19, 2024 1:55 AM politics

thats its primary use

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 1:55 AM politics

Also yes, that is unplugged spooky

Dialga Dec 19, 2024 1:56 AM politics

ok pika

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 1:57 AM politics

if electricity was expensive, I'd probably have mechanisms that turn stuff off, probably just have a breaker level cutoff switch for everything but the fridges/computers

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 1:57 AM politics

but it's on-par with what I pay for water

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 1:57 AM politics

which is to say, essentially free

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 1:57 AM politics

I am glad I do not pay for water

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 1:57 AM politics

or heat

Dialga Dec 19, 2024 1:58 AM politics

you dont have water bill?

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 1:58 AM politics

he collects rain water

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 1:58 AM politics

water and heat are covered in my rent

Dialga Dec 19, 2024 1:58 AM politics

oh

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 1:58 AM politics

I only have to pay for electricity

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 1:59 AM politics

natural gas for heating is the most expensive part of the streamer house, but it's also one that I don't really give a fuck about

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 1:59 AM politics

I'm not setting up elaborate heating cycles to save a buck

Dialga Dec 19, 2024 1:59 AM politics

spooky your PC's are the heaters you dont need gas heating

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:00 AM politics

(that part of the house actually does work that wad Dialga)

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:00 AM politics

I have 2 heaters for different sections of the house

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:00 AM politics

Spooky, unironically just get a series of fans to blow air from the computer room around the house

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:00 AM politics

and the one that serves the server area is off most of the winter

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:00 AM politics

I wonder how well that would work

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:00 AM politics

until it gets REALLY cold

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:00 AM politics

the other part of the house though, needs heat

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:01 AM politics

I also turned my thermostat all the way down despite not paying for heat before leaving

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:01 AM politics

it just felt correct to do

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:02 AM politics

I'll do it if I'm traveling for multiple days

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:02 AM politics

but not off completely

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:02 AM politics

just down to like 66 or w/e

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:02 AM politics

I do not get options, mine is 0 to 30, Idk what that means in terms of the thermostat, because its not 0 to 30 degrees

Dialga Dec 19, 2024 2:02 AM politics

why do you keep it heated when you arent in it

legorhin Dec 19, 2024 2:04 AM politics

frozen pipes bad

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:04 AM politics

70 is the perfect temp for winter imo, 72 if it's extremely cold out

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:04 AM politics

and then like I said I'll drop it to 66 or w/e if I'm traveling

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:04 AM politics

I don't actually know how low you're supposed to drop it, ig I can look that up

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:05 AM politics

chatGPT says 55

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:05 AM politics

google ai top answer says 50-60 so that tracks

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:06 AM politics

ok apparently it's not 66, it's 62

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:06 AM politics

I just looked at my preset

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:06 AM politics

Luckily, if pipes freeze and burst in my apartment building, it is literally not my fault and they had bigger issues

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:06 AM politics

Also I cannot cool my apartment because there is no cooling system

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:06 AM politics

So my options are heating, and off, and I just choose off when I am gone

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:07 AM politics

my dorm freshman year of college was like that

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:09 AM politics

Fuck you Spooky, why is it no longer 1:30

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:09 AM politics

I guess I am not watching anime

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:09 AM politics

ok Pika, last plug question

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:09 AM politics

if you had a drink cooler or second fridge

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:09 AM politics

would you leave that plugged in

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:09 AM politics

main frige, obvious yes

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:10 AM politics

but this one is just for drinks or non-perishables

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:10 AM politics

I unplugged the minifridge I had next to my desk in kitchener when I left for kingston, but that is less fair because I was leaving for a majority of the time

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:10 AM politics

for you, ig it's lemonade and root beer

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:10 AM politics

If it was full, I'd not unplug it. If it was basically empty, yes I probably would

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:10 AM politics

and just move anything left to the main fridge

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:11 AM politics

you know, I didn't consider consolidating the contents

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:11 AM politics

you win this round

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:11 AM politics

Lol

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:11 AM politics

idk Pika, I forget if I mentioned this in the server or not

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:11 AM politics

I do not even fill my main fridge in Kingston, so I would feel so stupid buying a mini fridge

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 19, 2024 2:11 AM politics

but before I moved out, we had 11 fridges in my parents house

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:11 AM politics

Spooky, I knew about the multiple freezers and how much meat went bad because of it

Phijkchu_Pikachu Dec 19, 2024 2:12 AM politics

11 fridges is hilarious and stupid
