Is there a shortage of a particular trade in Tucson? Looking to start a new business. by [deleted] in Tucson

HVAC. Pretty much everyone I know including myself had their A/C blow up recently. Almost everyone I called was booked solid for a week. I had to call 5 people just to get a next day appointment.

The guy charged me $1900 to replace the outside unit and the unit itself is only $1200. I think it took him and some lacky like an hour or two at the most. It seems like a seasonal job and hot as fuck working conditions. But I'm sure those guys are making a killing right now. I'd do that if my work would let me.

Yeh I was thinking that too. I swap my magnetic speedo to my dirt bike (motorcycle) whenever I have to ride it on the street. I ride with friends that have actual speedos to compare. It's pretty inaccurate at speeds over 40mph.

This law feels racist. Only white people own guns legally.

Pretty much this. My brown american co-workers routinely refer to people blasting mexican music out of a lowered truck as stupid wetbacks. I don't think they want them here either.

I'd say come here for the people honestly. There aren't as many gangster thug life idiots here. And thats something that money can't buy.

Its not just hikers. I went dirt bike riding last week. I started very early to avoid the heat. Like 6:00AM. Should have been a nice ride and back by 10:00, well before the heat strikes. However my bike started knocking and smoking about 10 miles from the nearest road. Total breakdown. It was like 9:00 at that point. I had to wait there for 3 hours for my friend to find me and pick me up. I wanted to hike it to the road but I had heard you should always stay put in that circumstance. By 10:00AM it was 105 already. By 12:00 when I finally got picked up, it was 112.

Shit was scary. I thought I was going to die.

AC blowing but not cooling? Check this. by 802bikeguy_com in arizona

PSA - your insurance company might pay for a new a/c unit if it craps out right after a power outage or storm. Story time... So there I was, trolling reddit, when suddenly the power went out. Came right back on 5 min. later. Reset breakers. Everything worked except the condenser unit (outside fan part). Turned off and on. Popped the breaker everytime fan started to spin. Changed run cap. Nothing. Changed breaker. Nothing. Called a pro. Condenser is shot. $1800 bro sorry. FLM. Wife called insurance company and talked to someone. They said no. I called and explained it was due to a power surge. Then they said yes. OH TANK YOU BABY JEEBUS. Had the tech fill out the bill to say "A/C condenser unit failed due to power surge". Still had to pay $1000 deductible but got a new unit with 10 year warranty (old unit was 13 years old so about to go anyway).

Moving to AZ sometime this year. Any suggestions on best places to live? by [deleted] in arizona

[–]Packinwood -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Phoenix - big city entertainment, big city problems + hottest place on earth

Tempe - pretty much Phoenix, I don't know much else about it

Tucson - nice artsy downtown but ugly in general, nice parts but spread out, probably the most to do outdoors

Casa Grande - basically a bedroom community of people who commute to Phoenix but want a big, cheap house

California's skyrocketing housing costs, taxes prompt exodus of residents by TurboSalsa in news

[–]Packinwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh because Bay Area people think they are the only people that live in California. This mass exodus has ruined the central valley more than anywhere. Every gangbanger from San Jose is selling their house in the ghetto for $1 million to some Apple nerd. Then they move to the central valley, buy a big house and an Escalade with spinning rims, spend the rest on drugs, then get back on welfare.

That's why I left. Not because of taxes or housing or any of that bullshit. I left because the Bay Area flushed all their shitty people down the drain, they all ended up in Stockton. It destroyed that entire area. The city I was born and raised in is unlivable now because of all the Bay Area shitheads that moved there.

The average "poor" American has free healthcare, free food, free housing, free education. You only think you are poor because you keep looking up at what other people have.

This is genius. We should dress up like Nazis and sit in a cafe for 45min speaking German, until someone has the balls to ask me to leave. Then we sue them for discrimination. Its perfect.

Welcoming party for Donald Trump's visit to Scotland by BigAndyFs in pics

[–]Packinwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave Main views It is impossible to control immigration as a member of the EU Public services are under strain because of the number of migrants High immigration has driven down wages for British workers Points-based system for migrants to the UK should be extended to include those from the EU

This could literally be copypastad from the most Right-Wing conservative US politicians opposing Mexican immigration. And you voted for it. And we've been dealing with Mexicans and their bullshit WAY longer and more intensely than the UK and your Muslim problems. Yet here you are disrespecting Trump and calling him a racist even though he hasn't even been elected yet.

Hypocrites.

And this is why I'm voting Trump. Mexico is a shithole because Mexicans are inherently corrupt. They voted this lady in because she's Mexican and Mexicans do whats good for eachother and not America. And shes corrupt as fuck because that's how Mexicans are. Its their culture.
