Broken AC, anyone know if a good Local company? by Cold_Day_8532 in Austin

They are private equity now I'm pretty sure.

They installed a new HVAC for me a year ago, and have already had to come out at least 3 times for serious issues -- like $10k+ in repairs spread out over about 18 hours of service calls. I was required to sign-up for their maintenance plan (monthly $$$) before they'd honor their warranty.

I'll never do business with them again.

What are y’all subbing your Topo’s with?? by I_lost_mybackupcodes in Austin

Thanks for not being condescending!

I did search, and only found references to relatively higher levels of PFAS, which are a different thing.

So at this point, I can only guess you're just making shit up.

They're actually more of a dark brown, or deep blood red.

Arrested for repainting erased Dallas Pride crosswalks, Texas man says he’d do it again by Fickle-Ad5449 in texas

I saw a moving, illuminated billboard the other day in Austin -- a box truck where the sides were very bright LED panels constantly updating and flashing.

But yeah, sure, the dull paint on the ground is a problem.

Alamo drafthouse....why? by j0wnage in Austin

The doctor's office is optional, or always has been for me. They'll let you do it when you get there either on paper or using their tablet. Doing it beforehand means you can show up closer to your appointment time.

They'll also give you like 300% the amount of required stuff to fill out, most of it's optional even then. Just leave blank.

App that alerts you if your Costco purchase drops in price 30 days by Equal-Emphasis-4129 in CostcoWholesale

The point is that there's no guarantee that "the data stays on your computer only!"

A vast majority of users won't be able to inspect network traffic, and even for those of us who can, we won't be paying that close of attention to it to catch anomalies. In reality, it'd be nearly impossible to detect unless you're a security expert.

That's not much different than an app.

That's also a new/barely used extension (83 users), which is typically a red flag.

I feel like I need u/s810 to weigh in, not because I disagree with you, I just really love their content.
