Darkassassin07 , 1 month ago to Technology in Saudi Arabia claims 'record' low price as Marubeni wind power deal hits $15/MWh

Yup, but we have quite a few of our own as well. Taking advantage of the Rocky Mountains above and below the border.

Southern BC.

Not sure what you mean by demand charges. Additional cost for peak hours perhaps? Not really a thing where I live.

Energy is billed at the lower of the two numbers I gave for the first ~1.4MWh, then the rest is billed at the higher rate. (metered between two months) It doesn't matter when you use the energy.

Aside from the energy costs, there's a ~$0.22/day base charge and 5% gst. That's it.

Edit: (see the edit in previous comment)

Record for Saudi, or record in general...?

'Cause I'm currently paying (CAD) between $109.7 and $140.8 (so USD $79.9 - $102.5) per MWh.

Edit: Damn it, I shifted a decimal in the mental conversion from KWh to MWh. Fixed the values above. (10x)

That Saudi power is much cheaper than I thought...

Certainly. I'm not saying they're a good thing; just lending credence to their existence.

Though I'll note; to use them you need access to the wifi radio carried by the individual you're tracking. Ie; you've already hacked their device.

Apple's got one, so does Google, and Microsoft. They're common tools for scam baiters tracking down call centres and individual scammers. Pretty effective actually.

Darkassassin07 , 1 month ago to Privacy in sim card from Ebay , bad idea?

Why would you ever be buying a sim card seprate from the carrier servicing it...?

Honestly asking, that's incredibly unusual to me. Where I live, the mobile carrier always provides the sim card. Usually free with a monthly phone plan, or as a part of a pre-paid plan. (pre-paid you can usually buy from a corner store like seven eleven. monthly you'll actually have to visit their store/mall booth)

Darkassassin07 , 1 month ago to Technology in How to opt out of the privacy nightmare that comes with new Hondas

You're not alone on the road.

It's incredibly unlikely that you'd be in such a bad accident that you couldn't call for help; while simultaneously being isolated from the public to the point nobody saw your accident and started calling ems/police before you could.

That's not to say it doesn't happen; but I definitely wouldn't be worried about it.

I will say; it's nice they state who paid for it. That's better than just the generic 'sponsored' label.

If this is how you treat/speak to people; we're far better off without you.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
