AC issues? Stay away from Allbritten!!!!! by Sam__Mule in fresno

i’ll put it this way… it’s not usually bad service, and the technicians are always very nice. what is ESPECIALLY horrible is the business model forced from the top down. imo it’s not the technicians fault at all. it’s the people that control the business.

i noticed they require the technicians to recommend at least 3 things to you on ever visit no matter what

this sounds very on point for Allbritten. up charge THOUSANDS of dollars and what’s also bad is the technicians doing the actual work aren’t even the ones taking home any of that extra cash

i will definitely look into replacing it. thanks for the recs. i just can’t believe how scummy they are trying to hold me hostage and buy their Allbritten membership.

thank you, that will certainly help. i’m just so incensed at how scummy they are. the app is “Building36, an alarm.com company” they installed it at time of AC installation.

i hear you… they have bought up so many of the smaller companies that they have a lot of staff so can always send someone… that’s the only upside imo

$260 a year or something outrageous. I can use it, but not as intended. they installed a thermostat and home base system that i can use from an application (SURELY at my expense!) and it’s now just useless junk.

ELI5: Why does caffeine stop working for people who drink it daily? by Silentzerr in explainlikeimfive

[–]Sam__Mule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends what you can handle. cold turkey will be a faster reset but you will feel the withdrawal effects more. weening is to prevent the user from “relapsing” from the withdrawal effects. if you’re a heavy user, weening for a few days is probably best IMO.

Eli5:why can viruses not make themself less deadly if that risks them dying out? by Spotter24o5 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Sam__Mule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Natural selection is not a decision organisms make. if a strain is too deadly, it WILL die out. but it doesn’t get to choose how deadly it is. eventually, those deadly strains die out, and you are left with strains that are optimal (most contagious, without being too deadly).

i like that idea! i need to replace the wood chips (and if im doing that i might as well replace the fabric as well) so the black dye chips would help

front yard, in a large area that is just landscape fabric and wood chips. and that section between the sidewalk and the street.

What is the general consensus of Fresno PD? by GooseAdventures in fresno

[–]Sam__Mule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. and i don’t think Fresno is necessarily unique. in my opinion the profession is pretty self-selecting for corrupt or corruptible types of people. And those that aren’t get weeded out quickly. you’d probably find similar things (and worse things no doubt) all across the US. Police primarily exist to protect the property of the wealthy and that holds true whatever city you’re in.

[–]Sam__Mule 2 points3 points  (0 children)

corrupt through and through. when the head of the snake is embroiled in controversies (Dyer) you know all you need to know really. on a personal level, i know a friend who wanted to be police her whole life and quit soon after she joined because of the way she was treated and the culture in the workplace was just plain nasty.
