Your inability to distinguish between individual data points and statistical aggregates is the joke.

I'm just struggling to imagine an environment that's too dry, that sounds ideal, humidity is the enemy.

That’s pretty funny really. Although not so surprising with Google I guess.
I’d kind of forgotten about it since they introduced it but then a while back checked and saw that all the browsers supported it now, I guess that’s why it’s now omnipresent.

Better quality images in smaller files is good for most users though. Guess the tools haven’t caught up yet but they will, I assume.

I’m definitely not going to complain about having my billed waived (free water) AND getting a credit (not just free, now I’m getting paid for using water?!) but it can’t possibility be deliberate…

Also some of that balance I did kind of pay, in that the former owner paid it and I paid them in the adjustments.

Seems like they’re stacking both the old bill waiver AND the credit for delayed billing which honestly sounds too good to be true and is probably yet another, new and exciting, billing error.

Received a bill! Apparently they’re going to issue them gradually. After the first one I’m now more than $400 in credit having not paid anything so that’s a promising start.
Update more than a year later: still no bill. Got another email saying it was on the way today though.
No, no, it’s fine, no rush.
Incidentally I just looked up this morning and it seems the most that they can back bill is four months and I’ve been here without bills since April, so the longer it takes the better actually Great Western Water.
