  • I always turned them off, unless I was just going to eat dinner and couldn’t save. The lasers for old systems like the PS2 and Sega Saturn have a longevity, and will wear out over time. I’d rather not speed that up since I plan on keeping them around. I was also scolded for wasting electricity growing up, so that is burned into my habits as well.

    My dad had a well at once house he had. Something broke on it, and the city (suburbs, but still) stepped in and forced him to pay several thousand dollars to have excavators come out and hook the house up to city water. They wouldn’t let him fix the well.

    Edit: I think the pump gave out, and the city stepped in because zoning laws changed since the house was built. The well was grandfathered in to old zoning laws until the pump broke.
