Reply to comment by Null_Error7 in who in Rhode island besides me generates there own elecricity?? I currently run 2 diesel gensets producing 45kw @600 volts the cost of electricity here is the highest in the nation I actually save $1300 a month running a cogen plant. by Appropriate_Signal_7

I have a few different diesel engines, all small single cylinder engines, and have been wanting to experiment with burning used motor oil but haven’t done it yet. I don’t think you can really save money by generating your own power unless you need a lot of electricity, as in more than an average home requires. OP mentions cogeneration which also cuts down in costs in the winter.

I’ve been considering it with these insane prices. I’m just talking about my home though, so I don’t know if I would really save anything. I have a 5 kw diesel generator that can power everything I need at home except for the clothes dryer.

Reply to Skeptical about my RI Energy monthly Usage by GoGatorsMashedTaters

Read the meter yourself and verify that you are being billed properly. Look for the date they read the meter, if it doesn’t say then just read the meter on the first of each month, it should be close enough. If you have a meter that has the spinning disc and not a smart meter, and don’t know how to read it, take a picture of it and look up how to read it online.

Also you can install your own meter inside your circuit breaker box. I have one called emporia energy and it has an app that you can look at your daily or monthly electric usage.

Overall I think it’s ridiculous how much the prices have gone up. I know that’s not the crux of your issue here but still.

I’ve heard this on multiple news platforms so I don’t think it’s BS. Our wonderful federal government will soon stop pulling from the strategic petroleum reserves as soon as the midterm elections happen, for just one factor. And the weather is quickly cooling off.

Reply to TIFU by trying to have sex with a virgin. by Tekripsz

This was going off the rails at “He wanted to be tied to a chair and have a shake funneled down his throat. I did it, albeit a bit uncomfortable myself since it's not my sauce.”

I don’t know you or your situation or what this guy is like. But I feel like these are really weird requests for your first time with someone. Maybe I’m just old fashioned but I feel like you need to work up to something like… forcing a milk shake down someone’s throat!!?… over a period of time, if at all. You shouldn’t have to degrade yourself or do something that makes you super uncomfortable, especially the first time with a guy! I have no idea where this guy gets these strange desires from (porn?), but to me that was the bigger red flag than his sexual inexperience. If he’s into you then you can show him what works for you, but I feel like this whole encounter was stained more with the weird stuff than anything else. Maybe he thinks this is normal from whatever he has been watching and just needs you to tell him to calm down a bit.
