Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Thank you, you magnificent bastards and bitches.
Apparently a French Cyclist was fined for stopping to kiss his wife during the Tour de France.
Now I am convinced if he had stopped to kiss his husband it would have been celebrated. These people are truly messed up. 🥴

My case against the 3 Supremes is now in the U.S. Supreme Court! I am petitioning the court to hear my case against Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson for violating their oath of office by not granting me a hearing regarding the allegations that both the Democrats and Republicans interfered with the 2020 Presidential Election.
The first Petition, which was filed March 29, 2024 was denied. I am allowed one more chance to file a second request, which I did June 12, 2024. It has been distributed and now under consideration for a hearing. We don't know when that will be. The Justices have given the clerks the authorization to make that decision for them because it's the summer break.
Oh thank you for posting this. I was just thinking about this case with the Brunson Brothers this week.
EDIT: RNC Convention starts 7/15 in Milwaukee, in 9 days, and ends 7/18. Usually the VP candidate gives a speech before the convention ends (7/16 or 7/17), with President Trump giving his acceptance speech 7/18. This means we should know who his VP pick is within the next 11 days.
121 days frens. I am thinking of getting a countdown calendar
On this count down Calendar, let's start talking new ideas. Agenda 47 talks about creating 10 new Cities. Each one of these Cities should have its own crypto that it uses to raise the working capital to start the build. There is a barrier of entry into some of these Cities. You need to be invited in or you can potentially buy your way in but you can't simply walk in. There is a prestige value that will start emerge as these new Cities grow.
Are consumers getting higher electric bills because utilities are selling to AI guys first? Is AI driving up energy prices for regular consumers? Shouldn't we be protected from that?
What caused my electric bill to increase 30% over last summer's bills?
My electric bill was ridiculously high the last 2 months.... normally around $200, $500 was a shocker and the last almost $800. WTH is going on?
Edited to add: are they prepping for project Blue Beam?
The one thing I am pretty certain of is that AI pays much less per kWh that us consumers. It doesn't really matter when the AI training is done, so it makes sense to run overnight when electricity is cheap. They could pause some processing when electricity is expensive. Opportunistic loads like that should help stabilize the grid.
Has your electric meter been replaced with a "more accurate" electronic version?
Has the price per kWh gone up? The bills from my electric company are very obfuscated. I had to add up the "electricity" cost, the fuel surcharge, and then add city, county, and state taxes to all of that.
Has the base service charge gone up? While a 30% increase in the base charge could happen, that wouldn't increase the whole bill by 30%.
The amount of energy used by an air conditioner should be somewhat proportional to the Cooling Degree Days for your location.
Great questions. 👍
I'll have to get my bill and do some figuring. (Oh no! Math on a holiday weekend!)
Have raised the thermostat in an effort to curb cooling costs. And no, I refused the "smart" meter so don't have that, unless they installed without my consent. Hmmm Wonder if they impose a penalty or surcharge on people like me.
Thanks for your comment.
It was been hotter this year from last year, Bidens energy policy is destroying the energy sector and less product being delivered. We have had many days up towards 100+ degrees this summer in Alabama. Expected since God said it would be hotter this summer. See Julie Green International Ministries Rumble channel. Quite enlightening. Remember God has always “spoken through the prophets”. Question is are we listening?
Yes HE surely is speaking through the prophets. Julie Green is certainly anointed. I listened to Bob Jones wife share her prophetic dream this morning. Such a good and inspiring dream about Trump and his return. We need to be praying for Trump to be filled with the Spirit so he can be used by God in his return. She was comparing Trump to David and how God had to get David in line with his plan before he became a king. It’s on YouTube .
Hottest day on record yesterday in North Carolina according the weather station at RDU airport. The entire month of June we had rain only once. High today of 95 but humidity makes it feel like 104. I love the heat of summer but I can’t take this. I don’t have breathing problems but it feels like it’s taking your breath. My AC is running as hard as it can. One day it was 76 in my house with it set on 72. That’s with light blocking shades pulled down and they help a lot. I’m 57 and don’t remember it this hot before August.
Same here in upstate SC. Humidity takes your breath. We did get rain yesterday afternoon but it brought with it an intense electrical storm. The lightning was popping around outside like popcorn. Praise Jesus didn’t lose power. If it’s going to get like that, I’d just as soon not get rain.
Partly that, but also because most countries are phasing out oil and gas and moving towards electricity as part of the green agenda.
Dumb question: my post previews for anything posted from Twitter have stopped. It seems like this happened before, and there was some easy way to fix it. I did a search, but am coming up empty. Any thoughts? Sorry if this is way out of bounds.
