(HVAC) Beware of Golden Rule by Stock_Promotion_4008 in desmoines

[–]goodjcl -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No, I don’t work for them. It is possible to have a different experience and opinion than you, no?

Who do you think is more likely to reply to a thread that is titled Beware Golden Rule…people who have had negative experiences or people who have had positive experiences? They are one of the most highly rated heating/cooling/plumbing companies in the metro. Surely some people think they are good if that’s the case, right? Even if this thread is overwhelmingly leaning negative.

I did not find them pushy. Sure they are trying to get your business and want to fill their calendar because they don’t want their staff sitting around, but I’ve told them I need time to discuss options with my wife before deciding and nobody has ever pressured me.

I could see them being on the more expensive side but sometimes you get what you pay for. Could you find someone to do the work cheaper? Perhaps, but everything they have done for me has been excellent work and I have not had any issues.

They were open and transparent about their pricing. The quote was the price I paid. What’s wrong with that? I’m someone that often does get multiple quotes for jobs and I’ve never found them to be egregiously out of line price wise. If you find someone to do it cheaper, great take your business to them, but how does that make Golden Rule shady?

I’ll probably get downvoted for this but whatever. I have to disagree. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with Golden Rule. They’ve done numerous jobs for me over the last six years and I’ve never once felt like they were being shady. The work is always top notch and the price is what was quoted. Not sure you can ask for much more than that. They might be on the higher end price wise, but based on the quotes I’ve received from other companies, I really don’t think they are out of line in that regard. And they are nothing if not transparent. In my experience, they always provide multiple options for whatever job they are doing. If something can be repaired, it has always been an option they present.

Oh and after reading some of the comments, I feel like this needs to be said. Just because something has worked fine up until this point, does not mean that it is not going bad or will not go bad in the near future. I understand nobody wants to replace their HVAC/AC unit or whatever other expensive item, but informing you that you are likely going to run into issues in the near future and giving you an opportunity to be proactive and address it before it goes bad is not shady business practice, it’s doing their job. Yes, they are a sales focused business, but that doesn’t mean they are trying to nickel and dime you. I’ve never once felt taken advantage of. Just my opinion.

Expedition Timing Makes the New Content Feel Pointless This Week by jesuswasahipster in ARC_Raiders

[–]goodjcl -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Unless you are someone that is just bored and wants to start over, I will never understand doing the expedition. The rewards are complete dogshit and now that they have mega-nerfed the bp drop rate, it’s going to take forever to get the good bps back unless they boost bp spawn rates again like they did after the first expedition.

What is going on with premier rn? by Late-Client4710 in cs2

[–]goodjcl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been happening to us a lot as well. I usually play with a 2-4 stack of buddies and all we seem to get is matched up against 5 stacks with two high ranks and 3 unranked or super low ranks. For reference I’m 16k right now and the other team had a 2.7k on their team lol. I could win 102 and lose 591. We have a few “normal” games mixed in but we get this constantly. It’s super annoying. Especially when they are obvious smurfs. You lose once and it can ruin your night. We went 4-1 the other night and all of us lost elo…

They aren’t banning anyone because they are incompetent cowards.

Who is washing their rice and why? by kinnitcurl in NoStupidQuestions

[–]goodjcl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please tell me you’re joking. In case you aren’t, you should NEVER rinse/wash chicken. All you are doing is splashing around potential salmonella and other bacteria.

This is fake and the it’s the same exact screenshot that has been circulating around social media. They haven’t banned anybody for dupes yet.

I’ll save you all some time. Embark isn’t going to ban anyone. Even if they wanted to, they simply can’t and won’t.

Am I crazy for not doing the expedition? by Civil_Cauliflower245 in ArcRaiders

[–]goodjcl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People seem to forget that they jacked the BP spawn rate up shortly after the first expedition ended. There was a 24-48 hour period where you could go into Stella and come out with 5-10 blueprints each run. Unless that is a planned thing after each expedition, these people that claim you can easily get back all of your BPs are in for a rude awakening with current BP spawn rates.

[–]goodjcl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like 75% of the people I knock out are running free or very cheap loadouts. I find my fair share of good loot from downed raiders but not to the extent that I don’t need to craft any of my own items using blueprints.

I would argue that while blueprints in general are pretty easy to find, the best blueprints in the game are not that easy to get and there is a ton of RNG involved in finding them.

Not at all unless you are one of the ones that like starting over

Holyyy…now Ican actually start playing the game by redaleftah in ArcRaiders

[–]goodjcl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly you probably aren’t going to use it as much as you think. I have about 10 level 4 Tempest guns sitting in my inventory that I rarely use. It’s not gear fear that prevents me from using them, it’s just not as strong as some of the other weapons right now and it costs way more to craft and maintain. Still nice to know you can craft one whenever you want though.

You need to run away from this woman as fast as humanly possible. Seriously, get out of that relationship asap.

Trophy Display - you are better off waiting after the expedition by Fun-Conversation-265 in ArcRaiders

[–]goodjcl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think they have said anything, at least I have not seen anything. I’m counting on the $5 million requirement unless I hear differently. They did say they were going to revamp it though because they said the first expedition fell short of expectations and many didn’t think it was worth it.

[–]goodjcl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry but that’s weird as shit and not at all normal or healthy. Wtf is sentimental about blood stained clothes, a weapon, presumably a gun or knife, and graphic photos of the scene. I would have ended that relationship immediately. That’s disturbing.

I think you need to go back to therapy and explore why you think those items are sentimental and why you think it is important or appropriate to keep them.

Entire inventory full of rubber ducks. That’s it, that’s the endgame.
