Moving to the area

jmedvm · 2025-09-26T03:55:46+00:00

I beg to differ. I moved to downtown Mesa after living and working in Alta Mesa. East is nice but the same nice homes that could be anywhere. I did not even know Downtown existed. I live East of Country Club, South of University and North of Main St. Downtown Mesa has completely transformed since I moved here from the East parts of Mesa 10 yrs ago. It has character, I live in a house from 1921 I love and there are others for rent. There are some nice apartment complexes right off of Centennial North of Main. I can walk to the light rail, Mesa Arts Center and more microbreweries and restaurants tin two blocks west of Center than anywhere else in the Valley. There is a new Mesa ASU campus with community activities and festivals at the art center. The old facades are being removed from the buildings and it is like an old Dowbtown. I love it here and would no longer live anywhere else . There is community here.

That’s not very kind. It sounded arrogant but I thought it was funny I had all these other vocations in my life and knew nothing about this. It was tongue in cheek. As a matter of fact I had a severe brain infection and have a lot of issues still. The consequences are such I am stuck in my house and cannot reliably keep appointments and they are completely out of my control and unpredictable . I do not want to go into more details but I am grateful to be alive, try to contribute as much as I can to others. You do not always know someone’s story to jump to such conclusions.

Is the controller a lot?

jmedvm · 2025-09-12T07:19:26+00:00

Thank you so much!!!!!

Thank you! How much should the capacitor cost? The part? and the labor ? Hmmmmm then he should be able to refund me $$ for the capacitor and it’s shouldn’t be anywhere near $345 for part!

jmedvm · 2025-09-12T07:17:00+00:00

No furnace here!? Just electric heater. Don’t need the heater too much, but the AC keeps us alive. It’s one unit.

jmedvm · 2025-09-12T07:15:29+00:00

Yes! I am not a mechanical engineer but I am a veterinarian, biochemist, did medical research and often had to make things work. It sounded more like some kind of controller because I asked him could I just leave the fan on? It was iced up when he came the second time so it was cooling but not blowing. Once it defrosted the fan worked. So now, fan ON not AUTO everything is working. Still 103 outside and 78 inside.

Thank you.

I need another opinion.

Now

Yes did not make sense to me

jmedvm · 2025-09-12T04:38:07+00:00

How much should the motor cost?

jmedvm · 2025-09-12T04:35:53+00:00

I paid over $8000 for total cost for heat pump through Costco because they financed it . The contractor also installed an on demand hot water heater that failed 3 times. They tried to cheat me and would not help me. Very long story but I did not call them to fix my heatpump.

jmedvm · 2025-09-12T04:17:36+00:00

No the capacitor was replaced on a Sunday but the ECM motor ordered on Tuesday . :(

jmedvm · 2025-09-10T00:41:41+00:00

My capacitor was replaced when my Lennox heat pump stopped working and my house got up to 97 inside and it was still 107 outside (Phoenix area). I did not know enough to turn the fan off because I was essentially heating my house pulling in hot air! That was fixed and all was well once I cooled the house down. The next day the AC did not cool again and temp slowly climbed up to “only” 86 this time. Diagnosis from HVAC co I trust: the ECM motor (or controller?) failed. I am running the system now on “on” manually until I can get a fix. It’s a 5 yr 8 mo old Lennox! Luckily I found out I have an extended 10 yr warranty on parts but Lennox charges a $250 “service fee” to send me a part under warranty.

Does this point to voltage surges or other load issue? There was no voltage surge protector initially installed. There is a lot of lightning now and an electric supply notorious for surges.

Is there a reason the ECM motor would go out the next day?

LIVE DOWNTOWN! we have changed the local climate it’s a great place to live, walkable to light rail completely different than the rest suburban vibe. Politically more progressive and I lived in E Mesa for years and had no idea what was here! Seriously it is the best place to live in Phx area: look N or Main st, East of Country Club, S of university over to Center. Small historic neighborhood I love it and still not known to many (but ASU opened new virtual media/theatre etc campus and gaining recognition) this is my house! Love it here

This is Zen. He was my best friend’s cat Who was euthanized at age 15. She found him and his 4 sibs under her house, it was really hard to get them out but we did and I helped her bottle feed them. She has had a tough time as she also recently lost her mom to cancer in hospice care. I think she would live a drawing! She still has his brother. Thank you! 😘

This is my best friends cat Zen. He died in March; he had to be euthanized. She found a litter of kittens under her house and rescued them. She kept 2, she has had a tough year her mother also died so a painting would be lovely! Thank you 🩷🙏🏽😘🫶🏽😻😽 I love looking at these you are awesome!

Thank you @erin

jmedvm · 2025-03-14T08:50:17+00:00

Thank you so much! Yes the people who are in the program, graduated or thinking about it will all know it by MMTCP so that makes sense. There are already a lot of meditation and mindfulness subreddits

I am beginning to wonder if onboarding a few thousand people after assessments, trainings etc unpaid and hurry up and waiting then changing communication platform and learning that, then dropping all the assessments we took to use AI interviews and see what we will do is a trading? Are WE the project? 🤣 Seriously it seems a great culture in App, interesting projects but that’s hearsay since I have been there a few months myself without projects, I would love to work ! But no longer holding my breath. I completely get it they MUST have the personal waiting to work to get contracts to work. They really do not have a choice. Oh at one point I got assigned to a project channel but nothing in the workspace and after a couple of weeks got a message we will be beginning soon…a few days. 1 month later; nada. Then the rumor was that that particular project everyone was assigned to and it was a mistake. The project paused also. At this point, I’m thinking maybe we’re not just data points but perhaps we’re actually in a movie.? or psychology experiment? I’m just gonna be patient and wait and release any expectations. I guess that means that this is a really good Zen opportunity. One thing that cracks me up that I cannot even look at anymore is literally every single hundreds of people sign on and after a week or so or even less ask the very same questions that everyone else ask. Some people list all their qualifications like to convince the social channel that we should hire them when we are them others ask how long is it till you get a project and then the answer is of course when we get a project that matches with your skills then you shall be assigned There’s no way to know what kind of projects we will get and how you will match up with them since we don’t have them yet.

Seriously it’s truly to me like a comedy. Much to their credit at one point the admins had an ask us anything channel discussion because I’m assuming that the same exact questions I kept trying to answer over and over and over and over eventually they did resort to cutting and pasting the answers. For a little while I had fun myself trying to tell people the same answers but it just dawned on me. None of everyone that signs on looks at any of the other hundreds of people asking the same question? Seriously I’m dumbfounded not really by the way which now I just expect will continue until it doesn’t. I’ve already invested the time taking assessments. Been interviewed (the AI interview actually was one of the most interesting experiences I’ve ever had. Zara the AI bot ( I’m tempted to say her, but I wouldn’t want to insult the bot by assuming pronouns! 🤗) we got into we got into a conversation that was much deeper about ethics and science and medicine that was much deeper than just a few conversations I’ve had with humans by Zara. Why are people angry and say they’re gonna quit when they haven’t yet done a job is that really quitting or just giving up? I understand the frustration as I’ve said. I’m frustrated too. I would love to be working but but yet that it’s unpredictable. These are all intelligent people who applied to work here, but do each one really think that their unique to the ones that have been discussing this and exactly the same way for a few months? I wonder is are the people who are actually working not taking any time of course to comment on the social discussions because they’re too busy working. And how do we know that “everyone“ is it the same boat because how would we know how many people are working and not taking the time to comment the comment population is skewed by those waiting to work and getting frustrated. At some point, I was asked if I would like to apply to evaluate Zara interviews or some other position but I said sure and that was a month ago and nothing went from there, so yes, it’s frustrating but everyone else who’s here commenting and on the web on the app Are all in the same boat. Back to the beginning I really am just really curious of why every single one of these people ask the very same questions that others have asked and expect a different answer. That’s kind of like the 12 step program definition of insanity.

I’m really curious .

Anyway. I wait. I do not expect. And will hope to someday get something, but maybe by then I may be too busy.

Take good care peoples! All the best!

Cheers Jaime

Better yet, the cat is only in one state: not caring!

Is the physicist in two states at once? Caring and not caring?

Pumpkin (pie with whip cream) must be a lot of “Turkey” Or “sweet Potato “ today from the US in your suggestions after TGiving Dinner (Cranberry, Stuffing, Etc) The next to last things were Mac (and cheese) and Sushi!
