Electric Bill Help!!

Electric Bill Help!!

Help me understand why my electric bill is so high. It has been this way since we moved in. We are in Tampa, FL.

We are 1400SF, large sliding glass doors (with thick curtains), AC is set at 78 degrees during the day and 80 at night. Built in the 1980's. There is a pool pump but it only runs for 4hrs a day.
The house genuinely has never cooled to 78 during the summer.

We just got new attic insulation and vents. Anything else I should be looking out for?

What do I add next?

Here is my collection so far. I don’t really have much merchandise nostalgia. Most of the dvd’s came from a single ebay lot. Genuinely curious what I should focus on next.

Spain Party

Does anyone know a good bar for the Cup finals that would be rooting for Spain? Specifically for a place rooting for Spain with true fans?
At the very least, maybe your favorite Spanish happy hour?

What is your preferred plot point?

Do you prefer when the gang “has a family member” that ties to the story, getting stuck in a spooky town, or just traveling for a local event?

Edit: I guess if you had to pick one, which would you choose?

Structural Engineer - Ask me anything

As the title suggests, I am a Structural Engineer (undergrad in Civil, Master's in Civil). I am a PE and have been in the industry for about 5 years now.

I taught while getting my Master's and love providing insight to younger engineers.

Ask me anything!

Civil/Structural Engineering Jobs with travel

I am a new PE (FL) with 5 years of experience in structural engineering. I have experience in light commercial/residential and heavy industrial plants. I am having a hard time finding roles that fit 20% travel in the structural realm. I figured I would be as specific as possible but obviously the job would not have to check all my boxes.

I am interested in a new structural engineering job with travel opportunities. I guess the dream travel scenario would be once or twice a month for a few days each. I am flexible to 2 weeks every couple months as well if international.

I am still quite new in my career and am open to many different categories. I have interest in seawalls, docks, maritime & port work but do not have experience in ship design. I have read about roles as "Client" engineers where it is more management. I also enjoy teaching and am interested in scuba certification.

Regarding work/life balance, I am pretty flexible dependent on the travel. If I am traveling 2 weeks every couple of months, I would prefer the home schedule to be flexible (40-45hrs).

TLDR: Young engineer looking for advice on how to locate travel jobs that don't require month/s long residencies on a jobsite.

What did y'all want from your partner when you were diagnosed? What can I do to help her into this?
My wife (27F) was just diagnosed with hashimotos. Her NP didn't recommend any medication but provided a long list of supplements to take. Her favorite food is pizza and so the news about gluten/night shades is tough. She struggles with eating and medication management as is so I am concerned this will be too much for her. I want her to be supported in anyway possible.
