  • Orange Charger bills landlords based on energy usage instead of the number of outlets installed. So far, the company has installed about 2,000 units nationwide.

    “You have no downside to install 50 outlets day one,” Johnson said. “We only charge when the device is used.”

    But it also says the chargers cost $600 or $750, plus more for installation. Do they charge for both? Either way, I guess it’s the apartment owner’s choice, but god damn I am sick of everyone trying to get a subscription or on-going payment out of me.

    Hating someone your whole life is great in movies and video games, where the hater uses their drive, intelligence, resources and lack of concern about any consequences to pull off some really amazing revenge. But in the real world, I think most of us aren’t willing to go to the lengths needed to properly pay our hated back to someone. So if we can’t act on our hated to the level we feel they deserve, then the only person who would suffer from that hated is the person caryring it around, day after day. Of course, never forget what they did, you don’t want it to happen to you again, but forgiving isn’t about letting them off the hook, it’s about allowing yourself to start feeling good again.

    That being said, feel however you want to feel, I ain’t the feelings police. But that’s how I see it.

    My problem with that story is that’s the one time Jesus chose violence, vs the bajillion times he said to love your neighbor and turn the other cheek. But I’ve seen tons of posts by right wingers like “we should kill people we disagree with! Jesus was all about violence, did you hear about the time with the whip!?!?” using it as justification for their hate and totally ignoring all of Jesus’s messages.
