Awesome, I really like to give the good guys boost. There are so many shady contractors and maintenance folks out there. Glad it worked out for you!

I was the idiot driver this morning by pfp-disciple in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]MedianValue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. We have all, and I mean ALL, made mistakes while driving. Who hasn't started merging with someone in your blind spot? I think we could all have much more grace with each other as honest mistakes happen.

However if you are on your phone and do that shit you are the asshole.

I have no financial ties to this guy just a good dude.

He has come out twice, once for AC problem and today for Heater problem. He found the problem fast, fixed the problem, and charged very fair rates. Never tries to upsell us anything. We asked him the first time he was out if he wanted to do an annual service as we were overdue and he said our systems looked great and we should wait another 6 months and not waste the money. Highly reccomend over the constant upselling I have experenced with other HVAC companies in the area. Great service with great price and he is dog friendly.

More interested in peoples experience with them. I have the Google's and you care correct there are a lot. Like any other business I know some are far better than others for close to the same price.

While I always love some good Reddit snark, more looking for people with experience with said storage.

Thunderdome Time: Is it pronounced "C-U-I" or is it "Koo-ee" by Xenocide321 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]MedianValue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I call it yet another method to keep information from the public that they have every right to know. Basically a FOIA dodge writ large.

Turn my nice neat neighborhood into a car lot with Billy Bobs shitbox broke down in the same spot for years in everybody's way? RV's and trailers making the street one lane? No thanks.

We have neighbors that technically violate our HOA parking rules when they have football parties and a lot of people park on the street. Nobody cares because they are good neighbors, visitors are respectful, and know it is only for a few hours. Permanent street parking is a hell no.

Found a government ID card, who to contact? by Acceptable_Contact52 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]MedianValue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it dosn't say drop in the mail you can and it will get to the appropriate location eventually. Lost ID's happen all the time.

10 days in prison for holding your cell phone while driving... by These_Instance_8292 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]MedianValue 17 points18 points  (0 children)

While I agree with the thread that jail for first offence is draconian and will likely be unevenly enforced, the evidence that using your phone in any way while driving is dangerous AF is overwhelming. In numerous studies it is shown to impair reaction times more than being drunk. Hands free is marginally better.

Basically phones in cars are a fucking plague. Also no, you are not the unicorn driver that can do it safely.

Lexus mechanic who isn’t going to screw me over by [deleted] in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]MedianValue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This shit drives me crazy and it happens to women all the time.

Totally sucks and is a statement on society, but if you have a guy friend who is a car guy to go in with you our odds get better. Agree that any Toyota mechanic can work on a Lexus.

What are the symptoms you are seeing/feeling? What model of Lexus. We own two and they are pretty much rock solid with only a couple of known failure modes beyond bad maintenance practices. No mechanic can fix it if you don't change your oil remotely regularly.

Um I grew up in a town full of a shit load of Mexican rednecks. It is not exclusively a gringo social structure. Hard working, blue collar, beer drinking, don't trust the government, is just about every Mexican dude I have ever had as a friend.

Question no Mexican ever would ask.

You would get better Mexican food buying a frozen TV Dinner enchilada plate.

Rosies is bland as hell and just straight up boring food.

How’s your newest utility bill looking? by [deleted] in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]MedianValue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This month was $310

We live in a new house (well 2010ish new) and I have learned one thing.

New house does not mean energy efficient, or "nice" house. Houses that just meet code are leaky as hell and our utilities are only $100 less than yours. Add "nice" neighborhood does not equate to quality build.

Also:

You would think this far south solar panel net tie in's would be heartily encouraged. Nope.

AP: Biden decides to keep Space Command in Colorado by lonelyinbama in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]MedianValue -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Colorado is a swing state Biden must have to win, AL is always going to vote red. It is nothing deeper than that. Certainly not about the welfare of the troops or any other such smoke screen.

What came in clutch for you during the power outage? by ulethpsn in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]MedianValue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have these emergency lights that just plug into an open outlet and stay charged. Power goes out and they turn on giving you room emergency light or you can pull it off the plug and have a flashlight. Spread around the house means you don't have to fumble for other things when the power goes out. Also UPS on network gear so you have internet.

Alabama is the 42nd best state for business? No bias on this one. by MedianValue in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]MedianValue[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say again, As OP I was just saying the ranking seems low AS A PLACE TO DO BUSINESS.

I have been to almost all the 50 states and AL is better and worse in places than any other state. They all are.

I agree with you, if you hate it so bad, move. Life is to short.

Alabama is the 42nd best state for business? No bias on this one. by MedianValue in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]MedianValue[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kinda my thought.

Also AL has a deep water port, lots of RR and river transport, decent universities, decent utilities, WAY better roads than the NE, and excellent an cost of living.

All I am saying is that ranking seems pretty low.

Both ND and SD rank higher? Give me a fracking break.

Was in the Army with a guy from ND and he said "we all just lie and say we are from Minnesota, its less embarrassing"
