DLC Charges are what DLC charges to maintain all the wires and poles to your house. Supply charges are what the power station charges to generate the electricity.

As in the same type of water heater that’s used for potable water?

I work in real estate. I've seen a couple houses over the years that used a water heater as a boiler. Typically in a small addition.

OP stated the high bill was due to a leak in one of the units, not extra showers and laundry

Everyday, yes. I don't always reapply in the winter, but definitely in the spring and summer.

My favorite tinted moisturizer + sunscreen: Saie Slip Tint Dewy Tinted Moisturizer SPF 35 Sunscreen. I like Supergood Unseen too, but it's expensive for a sunscreen only option. A great dupe is Trader Joe’s Daily Facial Sunscreen SPF 40 Oil-Free Invisible Gel. I love it. It's around in the summer on the regular, but you have to look for it in the off months. (I always ask and they tell me when a shipment is due.)

Having lived in both....Chicago is flat and windy but has considerably more sun hours...no surprise. Chicago gets most of the "named" winter storms that travel across the plains.

Pittsburgh is grey with lots of precip, and did I mention it is grey? It also gets lake effect snows, which account for its higher precip amounts.

The key difference i saw was the topography. Hills offer a lee side that flat lands do not. Welcome to Pittsburgh. We sincerely hope you love it here. Just dont tell anyone, we like how cheap it is.

You’re missing out on cafe Raymond it’s fantastic, the bbq brisket hash is amazing. Scrambled eggs, potatoes, brisket, bbq sauce

No

Some baseboard heating can use low temperature, thus a water heater is not unheard of.

I disagree. When considering Pittsburgh, or Boston for that matter, the metro area is considered due to a 7:1 ratio with their small land areas. We have 3 pro teams....do you think they consider 300k in the city or the 2.4 metro when considering what is or isnt Pittsburgh?

Again, you’re trying to defend beer can throwing and direct verbal abuse with something mild. So 49er fans molested the Rocky statue and posted online memes. No direct impact on anyone. They did not ruin anyone’s experience at the game like Eagles fan do getting in peoples faces and throwing things, deflating tires, etc.

Penguins and Pirates play there more often. I went to a Pirates game in August before the Phillies even had a hope for the playoffs. Every time I got up from my seat I had to deal with “Pirates suck!” from multiple people just for wearing my jersey and minding my own business. I would absolutely never take my kids there.

That's wild. I'm up here in the exurbs, but I have the opposite experience (first energy for electric, peoples gas). Our electric bill it typically around $200-250 per month (we have an EV and drive about 1500 miles a month, plus tons of electronics, servers, etc., that never get shut off).

Our gas bill was just over $100 for december-into-january, even with gas heat. I think our electronics all just generate enough heat to keep the house warm enough haha.

Also 1800sqft, two adults one toddler

They either don’t know the difference between a water heater and boiler or are getting them mixed up.

I was tested for weeds, trees, molds, animals, etc. Allergic to all of the above.

I haven't started treatment yet. They are sub-lingual immunotherapy drops (under the tongue) or SLIT. They are custom mixed like shots, say they can be effective in as little as 8 weeks. I chose them because shots were going to be had for me with time and travel.

Very cool one thank you

“Please provide proof of other teams fans being assholes”

Proceeds to link videos to Eagles fans being assholes 🤦‍♂️

I hope you’re not a lawyer!

I like this place too!

Guy said he was from South Africa and he gets the benefit of the doubt Pittsburgh sucks ?

Absolutely correct.

>I opted to go with a different treatment plan (drops) which are not covered by insurance. They are $280 every 11 weeks. Saves me having to go into the office for the shots.

Thanks a ton for all the details! I wonder what it costs without the breathing tests? I'm allergic to stuff like molds, mites, trees, weeds and grass. Is this basically the same stuff you got tested for or did you get tested for other things too?

I never heard of drops either! I've been getting shots for years. How are they going for you? How does it work exactly? Do you take them by mouth? Also, what are you allergic to?

There's a device called a Kill A Watt and every homeowner should have one. Simple yet effective way to confirm how much juice something is using. And it can be used to avoid overloading a circuit.

Tell your landlord to contact PGH2O and have them review the leak and whether a credit can be applied. PGH20 has the ability to detect when a leak occurs...I'm not exactly sure of the process, but there's a possibility that they have a system in place for this.

For reference, when I check my own bill online - there is a site that monitors leaks.

We always celebrate on March 14th, we use it as our anniversary.

When we started dating, I was between relationships and intentionally didn't start dating until after VDay so I wouldn't get stuck with any expectation of doing (and paying) for some big dinner, flowers, etc. My now wife was totally on board.

That being said, this year Four Twelve Project has a 4 course meal (on FB, and I don't have a link) that we want to check out. We're planning on going Friday the 10th as early as possible to hopefully avoid the busiest time.
