A year ago I installed solar panels+batteries, and now have a year of electric bills to compare.
2024: $4,133.13
2025: $655.62!
The entire year was less than the previous year's July bill.
Also got an EV last year so that amount ALSO includes my "gas" costs from charging at home. (~$1500/year with my prev gas car.)
Hard to think of a pair of purchases I've been happier with!

My nephew's wife, Abby, learned to knit off the internet during the pandemic. She made these for my mother-in-law (her grandmother-in-law) this year for Christmas, and I am absolutely blown away by the level of detail.
(The photograph looks like one is slightly bigger, but that is a trick of the camera - in real life they are the same size!)

It looked like this red-bellied woodpecker was about to spread its wings and fly giving me a face-on photo, but the more energy efficient hop was chosen.
I still got a decent capture.

That's Late Stage Capitalism for you:
"More than 20% of the videos that YouTubeโs algorithm shows to new users are โAI slopโ โ low-quality AI-generated content designed to farm views, research has found.
The video-editing company Kapwing surveyed 15,000 of the worldโs most popular YouTube channels โ the top 100 in every country โ and found that 278 of them contain only AI slop.
Together, these AI slop channels have amassed more than 63bn views and 221 million subscribers, generating about $117m (ยฃ90m) in revenue each year, according to estimates.
The researchers also made a new YouTube account and found that 104 of the first 500 videos recommended to its feed were AI slop. One-third of the 500 videos were โbrainrotโ, a category that includes AI slop and other low-quality content made to monetise attention.
The findings are a snapshot of a rapidly expanding industry that is saturating big social media platforms โ from X to Meta to YouTube โ and defining a new era of content: decontextualised, addictive and international.
A Guardian analysis this year found that nearly 10% of YouTubeโs fastest-growing channels were AI slop, racking up millions of views despite the platformโs efforts to curb โinauthentic contentโ."
Which of the four genders are you?
