Why would i want to check a voicemail on my cell phone? People want to talk to me, call again. If i want to talk to you, I’ll answer.

It would be nice if service/utility providers treated the situation where one party owes the other money the same way, irrespective of who owes who.
Even better would be billing me for the amount I actually owe. If that means making sure that the meter outside my front door is actually connected up to my house then so be it. And if estimates* have to be used I think that estimating* that I used power in the months of April and May at 400 times the rate I used it between October and March is perhaps a little suspect.
*I’m entirely comfortable with either of these words in this situation – also just to clarify I know you can avoid estimated bills by providing readings. Which is why I provided readings.

Death Star
An unshielded exhaust port leading directly to the central reactor? Really? And when you rebuild it, your solution to this problem is four paths into the central core so large that you can literally fly a spaceship through them? Brilliant. Note to the Emperor: Someone on your Death Star design staff is in the pay of Rebel forces. Oh, right, you can’t get the memo because someone threw you down a huge exposed shaft in your Death Star throne room.
