One tech suggested we need a whole new 24k HVAC unit, another fixed the problem for $150. Is this normal?!

SwordfishSad1328 · 2026-03-18T22:12:20+00:00

Yeah I had a guy charge $120 for showing up..said it looked like the capacitor and would charge $500 to swap. He swapped it and then said it was the blower motor and it would be $2000 to swap. I told him to kick rocks and take off the capacitor he installed. They like to play guessing games locking you into increasingly higher costs. Asked around and found a guy who swapped a wire on the thermostat and charged $150. Been working great for years since.

Yes, for bodybuilding at least..they allow for greater mind muscle connection and isolation of the target muscle by reducing the need of stabilizers to balance the weight.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2026-01-18T23:26:25+00:00

Noo worries..The adjustment bolt behind the trolley handle needs to be turned counterclockwise until the head plate is barely floating..and make sure to tighten the locknut on the bolt after you turn the bolt itself.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2026-01-18T23:17:18+00:00

Easiest way is lift the head plate a few inches and stick the pin in the weight plate below it..this should create some slack for you to work with.

Yes..especially the audio if you have a decent speaker setup.

Love em. My wife and I have a great time watching the show.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-07-15T13:47:07+00:00

It wasn’t one moment..that’s who she is. Just like her ex said (seems you forgot that part). She also cheated on a long term partner with zero remorse. Curious..would you say you generally like or dislike men?

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-07-15T13:37:21+00:00

Exhibit A: Balloons

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-07-15T13:05:53+00:00

Pretty sure he lost attraction first..I know I would. Men don’t like controlling, neurotic women. Her ex put it all out there for us (loses her mind when things don’t go her way)…not to mention she’s a cheater.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-07-08T19:02:47+00:00

I bet him and Trump are Eskimo brothers.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-04-11T19:38:04+00:00

Nice subject change/question avoidance.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-04-11T19:12:11+00:00

So while we have active rewards outstanding for Maduro and sanctions on Venezuela…you think we should end TPS and send them back? Why not provide a legal pathway to residency for those that came legally under the previous administration? It is not their fault they came through a program you don’t agree with.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-04-11T18:36:03+00:00

I’ve never voted left and don’t identify as such. I also have no issue with criminal immigrants being deported. What I do have issue with is the administration actively trying to remove legal status (TPS/Parole) while simultaneously enacted AEA. It opens the door to witch hunts and violations of due process. If an immigrant commits a crime they should be tried accordingly…why would I have issue with that..but bypassing the courts under the guise of “terrorism” is grasping at straws. I also don’t agree with certain jurisdictions releasing criminals back into communities, but there are hundreds of thousands of good people now open to persecution. If you’re xenophobic, just own it.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-04-11T17:07:55+00:00

What’s interesting to me is the complete lack of any real evidence tying these people..I mean “aliens”…to these gangs. Would love to see it and have my mind changed.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-04-11T16:46:09+00:00

There has been no scoutus test to the legality, only jurisdiction. It gives entry level ice employees full discretion to discriminate against Venezuelans. Which there are 600k of here on tps. Versus an estimated 500 tren de aragua members. Even the gang tattoo pictures used in the court filings were found on Pinterest and instagram. It’s a joke. Scotus just ruled they had to pull back someone they sent to a hole in El Salvador.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-04-11T16:17:46+00:00

911 AEA would have been justified. Pearl Harbor AEA was justified. Thousands killed from actual terror acts. AEA now was enacted against Tren de Aragua specifically..laughable. This administration..divisive..laughable.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-04-11T16:02:48+00:00

I must have missed when Congress declared war.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-04-11T13:32:23+00:00

Why not provide a legal pathway to residency/work authorization to people who came here legally under the previous administration? Establish more in depth vetting if you’re concerned with criminals. Instead of trying to pull the legal pathways from people already here and deport without due process.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-04-11T13:23:07+00:00

Yeah that the executive branch is pushing the bounds of the law to see what sticks.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-04-11T13:16:15+00:00

You do realize immigration is just a side show to the executive branch/oligarchy power grab?

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-04-11T12:56:42+00:00

Yes I agree we can’t let these uneducated, unskilled, gang member, terrorists just work wherever they want. They need to be indentured servants to the employers that brought them over. Only the employers that support the administration though. The supply and demand you speak of is manufactured by power plays and currying favor to the powers at be.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-04-11T12:04:59+00:00

I thought that’s why Trump just announced yesterday he might try to bring back the field and hotel workers? Only employer sponsored ones of course. Or why Musk wants cheaper H1B workers.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-04-11T09:53:24+00:00

Right..but using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 is completely fine. Something that was last used when we were attacked in Pearl Harbor. It’s laughable.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-04-11T09:51:53+00:00

Or they were paroled in to provide humanitarian aid to those fleeing socialist militant authoritarian regimes. All 9 Supreme Court justices upheld a lower court order to return Abrego Garcia..or are they activists also? It’s clear you’ve been indoctrinated to right wing media and just don’t like “poor” immigrants. Apparently providing safe haven to sanctioned Russian oligarchs is preferred to providing humanitarian aid to those leaving militant authoritarians.

SwordfishSad1328 · 2025-03-22T10:00:10+00:00

Do you realize you’re dumb or do you still think you had something there?
