Illustrating every legendary creature in Wisconsin folklore: The Accordianteater, the Callopode, the Duck-Footed Dum-Dum, and the Gazunk.
These were four different fearsome critters from the legends of Wisconsin's lumber camps which lumberjacks used to explain the strange music they heard out in the woods. Why were they hearing strange music in the woods, you might ask? Well... I don't have a good answer for you.
Anyways both the Callopode and Gazunk could be used to explain flute-like sounds. The Duck-Footed Dum-Dum produced a drumming sound. And the Accordianteater made a musical wailing sound.

my best friend was super skeptical of Fedi because I told her it was basically "the badlands of the internet, the internet the way God intended" and she didn't like the idea of Nazis socializing
she scrolled through yesterday and I'm pretty sure she is a fan, anime tits and shit posting with the occasional racial slur, it's just like Instagram without the corpo jammies right?
The air smelled nicer, I was still tolerant of running Windows with 4 gigs of ram, the dead internet theory was still new and I wasn't even aware it existed, I talked to internet friends over instant messengers daily. Everything Was Just Better.

This sucks! Southern California Edison is changing their fee structure to lower bills for people who use a lot of electricity and raise them for people who use a little.
If this theory is correct you're collateral damage.
People with solar look like they're using less because some of their use is offset by local production, to the utility company someone with low use and someone with self production look the same.
It could also be there's a bunch of fixed costs for the grid and the marginal cost of adding another kWh isn't that large.
So if they're trying to spread out the fixed cost by customer, people using fewer kWhs pay a larger fee per kWh to reach the same total fixed cost as someone who is using more and can spread the same target fixed fee over more kWhs.
@alienghic There is some fixed cost to maintaining the grid, but it seems like people who have a lot of solar are putting less wear and tear on the grid, so they should pay less.
It would be really simple to just charge people who use a lot of electricity more money, since they're the ones benefiting the most from the use of the grid
@alienghic The new energy fees seem broadly structured to promote fairness. Households that can afford solar panels typically have greater wealth and access to resources relative to large families living in less energy-efficient homes struggling to rely on air conditioning to maintain safe living conditions.
By slightly increasing fees for solar users and reducing costs for high-energy households, the policy shifts some of the financial burden from those whose energy costs are a larger share of their budget towards those who are more able to absorb such costs.
The approach seems well-intentioned, but it does kinda have the side effects of punishing those with no solar panels and naturally low energy usage, while benefiting those who can easily afford the costs of higher energy usage.
@lety That's the line that the utilities have promoting, and it's mostly nonsense. They just want to keep extracting wealth out of people who are now paying them less because of solar. They don't care about fairness. They care about shareholders.
I mean, fair point and that's entirely possible. I'm no fan of SCE, but I am compromised in this discussion as someone living with a multi-generational household whose entire neighborhood stands to benefit from this change.
That said, SCE has raised rates for fuck all reasons in the past, even earlier this year, just to cover legal fees and boost shareholder returns. My first instinct isn't to assume they're doing the same thing here, by redistributing fees across customers with different income levels.
Southern California Edison isn't exactly known for their subtlety.
@lety Their first tactic with solar was saying people with rooftop solar were freeloaders and that they should be able to charge them more. That fell flat, so they put their PR hats on and came back with the messaging they're using now about rooftop solar being a giveaway to the wealthy on the backs of the poor. This time it seemed to work because the legislature has mostly backed them even if the substance of what they're pushing is the same.
You seem a lot more well-read about this than I am, so I digress.
I was just sharing my perspective as someone whose friends and family, all with incomes closer to the federal poverty level than the LA County median, will benefit from this change in the way they're marketing.
I freely admit that it's possible my experience is the outlier here and that you're the median customer they're scamming.
Which, reasoning leading up to this aside, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear your bills went up when you don't even have solar panels.
@lety The legislature did take up a bill to base this usage fee on income level, but i guess enough people with money complained that they backed down. It would make a lot more sense.
I wouldn't even be bothered if I paid more because my income was higher. It just irks me that my bill is going up because i use less.
@MLE_online@social.afront.org Time to call and email your Public Service Commissioners/ Public Utility Commissioners and make your opinion heard. ***These are elected officials and represent you!*** SCE wouldn't be able to implement this without the State's PUC/ PSC approval.

The Tesla Diner Is Already Falling Apart Under Mismanagement
In the end, the Tesla Diner serves as a metaphor not just for the way the company builds, but also for the way it handles issues: by building an eyesore, operating outside legal boundaries, and without any consideration for the people who have to deal with it.
It doesn't matter what they do to the internet, Gen X and Millennials have the skills to bypass and access whatever they want. They were raised doing this.

@kelson @juliewebgirl No one is self-selecting conservative states, except for people with more money than sense. Eccentric people like me who drive electric scooters and don't like cars aren't going to choose wide-open rural areas where you have to drive 40 minutes in any direction to blow your nose.
