Look at that swollen snozz

[WestTexasCrude]

Yeah man, I buy mental credits all the time

Something we kinda figured.

I'm not surprised you want to move past this. You made some bold claims that you cannot back up and again assured everyone who reads this that you are indeed a fool.

So 3/4 the time we hear you speak out the side of your ass like it's reality. Back to your 18 hour CNN viewing in your snow encased shack to mold your views. Good Lord. Talk about low info voters.

OOps. failed to see the shift back to LOLZ where it should never have left anyway.

I'm certainly no expert on high consumption electric rates but I'd imagine even manufacturing facilities with boat loads of equipment don't ring up electric bills of 40k per month.

So folks, in summary, if you get a mansion and decide to consume enough electricity to run up a $40,000 electric bill every month, I would highly recommend that you get a minimum of 17 services of at least 200 amps each going into your home. Just to make sure that you don't have to keep flipping breakers all night and day. And with 17 breaker boxes, you will want to make sure and carefully label each one and maybe have a generator backup to light the room they are in.

Now, the quickest way to do this would be to hook up 5,000 light sockets with 100 watt bulbs in each one, so you can burn them 24 hours a day. In case you leave for work or go to sleep or even go on vacation. Remember, that meter doesn't spin itself.

You sound more like flumper everyday.

[Reservoir Dog]

holy shit. think about it for a minute. can you even fathom what it would take to run up a $40,000 electric bill in a month. That's over $1300 per day in electrical consumption. Using 11 cents a kwH that would be 12,000 kwH in a single day. 500 kwH each hour.

If my knowledge on this is right that would mean using 500,000 watts of power every single hour 24 hours a day. Honestly, I think your house would burn down trying to attempt that.

I ran these numbers through our program at work and they are relatively accurate.
We have a factory here in town that builds military APC's and they don't use that much hydro.
Half a million bucks a year to power a 3,500 square foot house is simply ridiculous.

Hey Tipper? Did you remember to leave the oven on?

Al, honey, i think we need to go back. I think i forgot to turn all the lights on

Tipper! Who left that light out in the back yard this morning?

But can you hook the GFI plugs up with the A/C circuit?

This one time Micheal Jackson stopped in Iraan, Texas on the way to the airport and he knocked on WTC's door and asked to use his toilet. Unfortunately WTC does not have a cell phone and we only have his memories to remember that awesome day~

We can't afford to use any gfi plugs. we are going to be busy enough flipping breakers.

Hmm.. Doing more research into Al's dilemma. The average life expectancy of a 100 watt incandescent bulb is 1200 hours. So that is 50 days if he's going to meet this $40,000 minimum on usage.

If he has to use 5,000 of them to meet his goal and they each last 50 days, then he will have to set them up on a rotational basis, so he only has to change out 100 bulbs per day. It seems doable.

I wonder how much 36,500 light bulbs per year costs?

Intermittent, or continuous usage? They will most likely last longer if used continuously, introducing a certain amount of randomness into the mix.

i thought about that, and you are probably right. i think the most damage done to an element inside a bulb is when its turned on and off. And since he won't be doing that, other than when breakers are thrown, then they probably will last longer than 50 days. Either way, his mansion would be an excellent place to test that out.

The new flat panel LED lights I install last 50,000 hours

We could slap some current transformers on the mains (or branches), watch for the dip in current, then send someone out to retrieve the dead bulb. If we trend out the current readings, we can take life averages from the initial set of bulbs, and project the lifespan. Would be interesting to see how close they'd match up, assuming we were able to get enough bulbs from a single production batch.

I bet Al's garage would make Clark Griswald's look like child's play.

[WestTexasCrude]

Less babbling and more Lollz.

Or I am going to find another group of retards to hang out with.

Good luck.

No shit. And to make matters worse, this is the exact argument with essentially the exact posters we had to endure 4 months ago on UJR1.

$107,857.50 if he buys the econo 60W two pack at Walmart.
