My provider keeps screwing me with estimated readings in excess of $400+, when my actual usage has been consistently under $200/mo. Granted they do credit the average when they actually take a real reading, I'm not a loan company and I'm getting frustrated overpaying.

15117, and ignore the rotating disk. Every second dial seems to run backwards, so it might actually be some sort of time machine.

If you write to the electric board, date the letter from from the year 1694, ask that your bill should be reduced by two-fifths because two of the dials mean that you're giving them electricity, write it all in red pen at an angle of 45degrees, and decline the offer to pay as you have not consented to a contract to pay for your energy usage - they'll cancel the bill and apologise for bothering a true citizen.

Trust me I'm a sovereign citizen, this is how it works

sigh

This only works in downtown Raleigh guys, each city has a different angle and pen color. Please check you local facebook group for the correct angle.

Could be 70151 if read from right to left (they used to be this way back in the day, doubt that's the case now).

If left you right, I think it's 15107 as if it's seven at the end then it hasn't reached the one yet.

It'll be the gearing of the wheels.
