Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
If only we got these up and running before the pedo war maybe prices would be a bit better
As a Massachusetts resident, please get me more cheap electricity. Please. I beg you. A $300 electric bill in the winter with oil heat is not okay.
Why is the electric bill high if you have oil heat? Mine is high cause I have electric heat. I miss the gas heating I had in my last apartment as it was much more efficient than the electric I have now
Oh also MA, I think, is one of the most expensive states for electricity.
Off my last bill, 21.95¢/kwH for delivery, 11.79¢/kwH for supply. And that was the last month of my contracted rate for supply, gonna go up a few more cents next month.
So total 33.74-ish cents per kwH.
Daaaaaaamn
My kids watch far too much TV and I work from home with a 3 monitor setup, and my work-issued computer has so much security bloat that it's always running at 100. It's a precision laptop. Takes a 180w power supply.
My gas bill in TX was over $300 this winter and we barely got below freezing. Brand new heating unit, energy efficient, cannot defeat the greed
Courtney also said Friday's milestone “never would have happened without talented Connecticut building trades workers, who persevered through the Trump administration’s illegal halt work orders.”
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, the Pedo$dent of the United States of America.
Making ANY progress difficult.
Republicans. 77 million Republicans voted for this. Most likely some of those trades workers voted to put Republicans in control.
77 million Republicans were given a choice to not put Republican politicians in charge.
Hey now! I keep getting told (mostly by so-called leftists and a great deal of never-trumpers, and of course many reactionary centrists) that we should never, ever blame the voters.
Apparently, all the blame for all the extremism of the far right conservatives and the dipshits that vote for them lies with...checks notes... the Democratic Party.
But think of all that good clean coal sitting unused and unbought.
