  1. I saw the original Top Gun on my 14th birthday at the drive in on !-45 in Houston with my friends in the back of a dually pick up.  I saw this one on my 50th birthday with my own kids.  It was fucking awesome.

  2. And there it is, the common denominator in the problem.  Trish.  Now everyone hates her lazy ass.  Happy to sit around and let everyone else do the work.  Glad to see her get what is coming to her.  Jen should leave and beg Amber and the guys to take her in.

    You're talking about power generators. He is talking about retail electric providers. In Texas, they are different (except in places like Austin with municipal utilities). Retail Electric Providers don't buy gas. They buy electricity. And they aren't buying all their supply years in advance. They are making predictions about prices that get incorporated into contracts.  I wouldn't be surprised if @Nice Guy Eddie is right. Some of those Retail Electric Providers probably are in a cash crunch and probably are using upfront deposits to help manage their cash flow issues. 

    I am not talking about power generators, I am  specifically talking about retail providers (REP's) in Texas.  And yes, that is exactly how they work.  NRG, Champion, MP2, TXU, you name it operate this way in both commercial and residential power to set their prices. 

    And yes, you will take a hit on your credit if you cancel a contract.  Call your REP and ask them if you do not believe what I am telling you.

    I understand what you're saying about not signing for more than 2 years but I went with a 3-year deal with a $100 termination.  I haven't signed a deal longer than 6 months in the last 10 years so I hated signing a 3-year deal but that was the only way to get a "decent" rate today.

    I'm looking forward to cancelling this contract.

    Just know that when/if you cancel that will ding your credit with the power suppliers.

    I've run into another situation where even though I have a relatively high credit score and never missed a payment in ~30 years, electric providers are requiring I pay a $300 deposit to sign with them.

    It's hard not to assume that a large deposit today is offsetting cash flow problems due customers that are locked into a $.10 contract when the market is 50-70% higher now.

    That is not how it works.  The cheap rates two years ago and before were done because the power company bought all the natgas for their specific deal at the price it was at the time.  If you did a deal today you pay todays price for the term of the contract.  The price changes daily and legit power suppliers don't have cash flow issues.  They are just passing along the high costs for purchasing the gas to the consumer.

    For those of you in the middle of this shitshow do not sign a deal longer than 2 years and do not do a deposit, move on if you can't negotiate it away.  Natgas is really high and the forecast is for it to potentially start coming down in 2024.  By then you may start seeing prices come down a bit.  After 24 months on a deal you can re evaluate.

  6. First off, fuck ESPN for pushing the ESPN plus crap that nobody wants and so many are missing great games because of it.

    Second glad to see Tech win.  Got to find some runs, right now they are dead at the plate.

    Lastly, I am in shock at the OSU score.  Again fuck ESPN for not having such a great game on tv. They should be ditching some of these slower games and put that on.

    You’re quite possibly the biggest pussy in the history of the internet.  Congrats, I guess.  You hate that people call you out on your factless, hideous takes on the rest of the world.  Well congrats again, Mr. Persecuted guy.   

    Oh my, some delusional lib gasbag internet tough guy who lives in a fantasy world and has no idea how the real world works thinks I am factless, have bad takes, and I am a pussy.  However will I go on?

    Remember when you asked me if you were being a presumptuous arrogant idiot?  Now is one of those times.  This is strike 2 for you on that.

    That's actually one of the only basis on which to appeal a jury verdict. That the court incorrectly precluded the jury from seeing evidence that might have changed their minds. I know nothing on the merits of it, but appealing evidentiary rulings are part of nearly every jury verdict appeal.

    I believe she would of had to object to that specifically for it to be looked at in an appeal.  If she did not, she is out of luck.  An appeal court basically just makes sure the judge did a fair job, you can not admit new evidence in an appeal.

  9. Man, I go away on a gorgeous long weekend vacation to a tropical beach with the wife and I come back to the usual deranged posters negging me for who knows what and lying about what I have posted.  And also repeating the same lame joke over and over again like a 5 year old.  Who left the gate open to imagination land and let these mental cases roam free?  yes the bias is real, there are more posts in this thread and the Uvalde thread that deserve bans that are far more than what I posted.  But some of you chose to go through life being simple.  Bless you.

    For the record, I have never posted in the CR about the Supremes or abortion so PW is as usual a liar.  But we all knew that already.  If complains was an auto neg you would have been crowd sourced ages ago.  Such a sad miserable person.

    I suggest you people that have these derangement issues take some time off.  You people are on here 24 hours a day, holidays, weekends and are filled with delusional hatred for all things you do not agree with.  You need to take some time off and get out of your shitty little apartments, stop talking to your cats, and get offline for a bit to get some real world experiences.  Your little brains just can't take this everyday.  Most normal people take time away from here. I know it is difficult for you guys, but try and be normal.

    Please seek help and try and not discuss me while I'm on vacation.
