$0.11 Canadian/kWh, my usage is about 150kWh per person per month, but I don't have summer AC. There's a higher rate beyond a threshold of 675kW/h but that's still under 15 cents. With a zero-use daily charge including municipal levies about 30 cents per day, and some fluctuations based on power sold, imported and other costs (my last bill had like $3 in credits). All in all about CA$25/mo ($18US).

Charged by BCHydro, the provincial power regulator. I've been really shocked at how cheap utilities are overall in BC, I budgeted about 3 times the amount I needed when I first moved.

Ok. When media gets hold of her, this is what they're going to do:

Breaking news: Harris says XYZ in interview!

Coming Up Next: Why Trump says that Harris saying XYZ is bad!!!

Over and over again so that they get to lick both sides of the pot in engagement.

Slightly unrelated thought that occurred to me...

Harris, during the debate, invited people to attend Trump rallies. Republicans wouldn't want to do anything that a liberal, communist Democrat like Harris would ask them to. Which might be more disincentive to attend the rallies and melt Trump and his followers' brains even more than just the heat.

Trump's advisors were reaching for any reason to convince him he won, because they know how disastrous another debate would be.

Not to worry, we will be entertained by the Walz-Vance faceoff, though I'll admit giving TFG the talking to he's deserved since forever ago was immensely gratifying.

The files are in the computer

Those files will reveal all the evidence the City Commissioners were hiding!!!!

Many Republicans were also not convinced about their candidate's performance in the debate in Philadelphia. Some 53% of Republican voters in the poll said Trump won the debate, compared to 91% of Democrats who said she was the victor. Among Republicans, 31% said no one won and 14% said Harris got the better of Trump.

I get partisanship is bad, but I'm glad 9 out of 10 Democrats and 1 of 7 Republicans have their head screwed on correctly. Did a large portion of viewers watch it with the volume on mute?

Adding to my own comment:

Shoutout to all of you Lemmings and Fedizens for participating in this platform, and staying in our communities despite many features still early in development compared to established platforms. Thank you for that.

If you can believe it, Trump supporters will accept the Ohio immigrant pet eating story as true.

Somehow media is pitching the "moderate position" as halfway between anywhere within the normal range of political positions and the crazy positions.

The highlight for me for the whole debate was not Trump's pet-eating outburst but the perfect setup and execution Harris did to bait him into that unhinged rant instead of talking about immigration.

She "invites" people to go to Trump rallies. She follows up the point about people leaving rallies early with a note along the lines of: you're about to watch Trump not talk about you. Sure enough, he fell into the trap, and Trump talked about what he cared about most at that moment.

In 1974, Ivan Illich wrote that the typical American male spent 25% of his waking life either driving a car or working for the income required to pay for one. 50 years later, is this true? And, which cities consume the most -- and least -- of our time with driving?

Yes there are other big oligopoly chains like metro, Sobeys/Safeway, Pattison, but I think it's best to start with one major chain to see how much coordinated action can affect them.
