    @statsguy@mas.to thankfully (I&#39;m sure this will change at some point, given where I live), state law in West Virginia says they have to credit you the same amount per kWh that they charge you (we don&#39;t ever get money back for generating more than we import, but we do get perpetual credit for any extra we generate, and it has to be 1-to-1 cost for energy we import).

    I&amp;#39;m seeing a bunch of sensational news headlines related to the Kentucky Derby, and every one I&amp;#39;ve read so far has been incredibly misleading. A handful say things along the lines of &amp;quot;Kentucky Derby winning jockey loses most of his winnings right after race&amp;quot;, and the story actually basically says &amp;quot;the winning jockey gets a certain percentage of the purse, but then they have to pay their employees, taxes, etc., so they&amp;#39;re left with a much small...

    Well, damn. I was going to do a halftime round at trivia tonight giving people the name of a board game and asking them to tell me which company produces/distributes it here in the US. Little did I know that Hasbro bought out Parker Brothers *and* Milton Bradley years ago, so, 99% of the super-popular games are theirs, now. There are a handful by Mattel, but the rest are indie companies that folks wouldn&amp;#39;t know (or are the same as the game). Now I have to come up with something else.

    Ancient Aliens: aliens just be real, because the ancient Egyptians made busts of pharaohs that look like the modern image we have of aliens, including one of King Tut. Me: We literally have King Tut&amp;#39;s mummy. It&amp;#39;s clearly not a &amp;quot;gray alien&amp;quot;. They&amp;#39;ve even done DNA testing on it.

    Does anyone know how screen readers handle things like brand names where they mash multiple words together with no spaces? For instance, &amp;quot;Siteimprove&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;NebulaOne&amp;quot;? Does it make a difference if they use capital letters? I assume it is pretty straightforward when it&amp;#39;s 2 hard sounds (such as &amp;quot;WordPress&amp;quot;) but softer sounds, especially vowels.
