My current deal with Fuse ends on September 27th, am I better off switching deals now or waiting for closer to October 1st new price cap (if that has any effect at all?)

    Fixes are looking at buying futures, the price cap is based on past costs, the two are not related. The only slight negative is that if you move now you are likely going to be paying more for this month's energy - on the flip side future prices may shoot up before the end of the month if either of the two loonies in charge of the world do something stupid (again),

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.
