Mine went to 209 and I live in a badly insulated house from the 70s. How'd you get to that level?

Brilladelphia posted:Step one: have a poorly insulated electric-only house from the eighties and so have higher bills by default anyway EDF has an option to reduce your DD on their site, look into that if you haven't already. You can select the option that your energy usage has changed or that you can't afford it.

Lord of the Llamas posted:I really think the media have misjudged the public mood about these strikes. The reporting is still all "UNION BARONS HOLDING US HOSTAGE" and even the BBC seems completely ignorant of how unions work. But its easy to marginalise, e.g. train drivers, because hardly anyone knows a train driver or even spoken to one ever. There's about 20k train drivers in the UK, but there are over 500k nurses. Most people will know a nurse, and everyone has met a nurse in hospital or getting a vaccine etc. They're a lot more real in the minds of the public. Agreed - almost everybody over 30 will have had a visit to a GP or hospital in the last year or so I would think, not to mention having family members in the hospital.

Reveilled posted:Is anyone in the thread with EDF for their energy? I'm really confused about the last year with my energy bill not really following the trend and I don't know if I've somehow lucked out or if EDF is taking a different approach or what. I'm with EDF, when our fixed tariff ran out early this year we moved onto their standard variable plan and our monthly DD went up to 173. They actually directly refunded us the government allowance thingie, and we are massively in credit which is probably why they only increased our DD now to 209. Looking at our smart meter we are using around 10 pounds per day for energy so I think on the whole we'll have some credit left over come spring unless it' l be a really cold winter.

Rarity posted:My work's brought in a Competency Development Framework for our annual performance reviews and it is the biggest piece of bullshit I've ever seen. Instead of just looking at whether I'm good in my role and picking out some development ideas I instead have to grade myself against 7 separate attitudes like 'working collaboratively' or 'delivering capability' on a scale of 1-3 in a structure where the desired traits are often exactly the same across different grades then justify exactly why I picked those grades. It's such a load of horseshit, gently caress HR departments into the ground. Just inventing insane levels of bureaucracy because they need to feel like they're doing something Honestly just write down why you're good at your role and tick the appropriate box, it's doubtful anyone is going to look at it very closely anyway.

Angrymog posted:I know this is a bit, but some Jews use special lightswitches that don't always switch the light on so that they can turn the lights on during the Shabbat, because they're only asking for the light to be turned on, and it's up to the light if it turns on or not. With God being omnipotent, surely this is the case for any lightswitch?
