- And then Hemsworth showed up and SPLOOSH! -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 20:16 1

$170 ... Jeez that's going to be a lot of tuna. I hope it tastes good. - Beryllium Nov 21, 20:00

  - cowbell didn't help? -- nm - thanksgeisting Nov 21, 21:23
  - or maybe pringles -- nm - dogbert Nov 21, 20:29
  - nice - groiny Nov 21, 19:57 1
    - excellent. -- nm - Reagen Nov 21, 19:58
XBone Countdown stream here live at the top of the hour. Featuring Macklemore and Deadmau5 -- (link) - Qale Nov 21, 19:21 2
- Deadmau5 is going over like a lead balloon -- nm - Remlik Nov 21, 20:28 1
  - Yeah. They must have forgotten to take their X... boxes. -- nm - Qale Nov 21, 20:32
Help me out with something please, ST. We received our water bill today for Sep/Nov. Last year during the same period we used 6591 gal. - elf kelly Nov 21, 19:16 23
- Do they measure on a lag? -- nm - rollo Nov 21, 20:18 2
  - That's a good point. Maybe the 31Kgal bill was for a previous month's usage -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 20:27 1
    - for electricity here, they estimate month to month usage and then adjust the subsequent month's usage for last month's deviation from the estimate -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 20:29
- Watering the lawn? My wife called and yelled at the water company one quarter until I reminded her we had new grass. -- nm - spamlet Nov 21, 19:38 1
  - Never, heh. -- nm - elf kelly Nov 21, 19:39
- That's a hell of a multiplier. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 19:32 11
  - I know, right? Here are the last 5 quarters: - elf kelly Nov 21, 19:36 10
    - Is the water meter inside the house? If it's at the street or something it could be a leak between there and the house... -- nm - Ender Nov 21, 19:39 5
      - I...have no idea where it is, actually. -- nm - elf kelly Nov 21, 19:40 4
        
        Figuring that out is step one. If they're not just misreading the meter you know whatever's happening is on the house side of the meter. -- nm - Ender Nov 21, 20:06 3
        
        Would we be on the hook for that? -- nm - elf kelly Nov 21, 20:07 2
        
        My gut says "probably", but you'd want to run that by the water supplier if that turns out to be the issue. - Ender Nov 21, 20:13 1
        
        So, if there was a leak somewhere between the house and the meter? Ugh. -- nm - elf kelly Nov 21, 20:23
    - the toilet running is a huge drain, we had that problem -- nm - groiny Nov 21, 19:38 3
      - But that would explain Jun-Aug. That shouldn't have mattered much this last quarter. - elf kelly Nov 21, 19:39 2
        
        no dripping faucets? -- nm - groiny Nov 21, 19:41 1
        
        no. -- nm - elf kelly Nov 21, 19:41
- Have them come out and do a manual reading - prayformojo Nov 21, 19:29 2
  - This was a manual reading -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 21, 19:35 1
    - If you didn't have two biig bills back to back it could have been the opposite issue. - Ender Nov 21, 20:09
- Check for leaks. Call the Water company, they will come out and search -- nm - amoxy Nov 21, 19:26
- check everything. outdoor spigots or leaky hose or sprinkler system. -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 21, 19:21 1
