Texas again?

All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.
It can get NSFW-ish here: you have been warned!

Id agree with that in your southern states that have fairly consistent weather.
For me in the Great North, with our brutal winters and hot summers, there are a lot of variables.
In the winter, I would set my thermy to about 15C (you do the conversion to Frankenstein) . But if we were coming home at a different time from the scheduled heat blast, or later, I can control when the house gets heated. Its very awesome to be driving home and jacking the thermy as I drive and come home to a warm house. Or to delay coming home for a couple hours and stopping the furnace from heating an empty house.

Yes, that does sound like a First World convenience, and it is.

There is no way you are this stupid.
Don't overestimate Ded Crudz. He's plenty stupid.

P.S.
That’s a policy failure of the Dems.
This from a guy who had to flee South for the winter because his Texass Rethugs fucked up.

so they enrolled in a program for a chance to win money and then got mad when they found out there is a catch? This story seems to be more about stupid consumers.
