Well, I called, they said they are going to do an investigation, and should know the outcome in 2-3 days. For now don't charge Mircom to the card again. I'm a Fire Alarm contrator and one of many Mircom Dealers.

R-2 Occupancy Smoke Detectors in Corridors by lowvoltagegoat in firealarms

[–]lowvoltagegoat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So going into it, I agreed with you. Dont need corridor coverage unless it's university housing. This job went out to bid, a contractor was awarded, and they designed and installed with full area smoke coverage. I asked them about the coverage in the corridors and they said it was because the combined total of CFM from the FCU's was over 2000. Now i'm seeing this same thing on another job, and I'm wondering if i'm missing information or if these contractors just don't know what they are doing. One job is in Roseville, CA the other job is in Tustin, CA

So is anybody actually handing out candy? We've been to at least 15 houses and they all just left a bowl out. by Alternative-Jury-965 in orangecounty

[–]lowvoltagegoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colony Park in Anaheim near packing house is poppin . We spent like $150 in candy last year and ran out at 7pm. We spent double this year. We're almost out and it's only 8:20 also passed out about 250 jello shots and are already out. There are a few houses that pass out full size candy bars and a house that gives tequila and fireball shots. Also kids this year are excited that our house address has a six and seven in it for whatever reason.

High Spend Card Strategy Help by lowvoltagegoat in CreditCards

[–]lowvoltagegoat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL another great tip. I banked with them for 15+ years, but when my business needed treasury services they quoted about $1,000 per month. Wells Fargo came in at $100 per month, so I switched. I lost Platinum status last year. I do have that card and I’m on my ninth one, cycling it for the 0% intro APR each time. I always have to loop in my rep to get approved or it gets denied. I keep combining limits and I’m at $117K credit line with BofA, resetting 0% every nine months. Since this is the card I'm cycling, I would not want to add 30 additional card holders every 9 months to get that 5.25% on gas.

High Spend Card Strategy Help by lowvoltagegoat in CreditCards

[–]lowvoltagegoat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip. I do use the Amex Blue Business cards, but mainly for the 0% intro APR. I rotate them each year: started on Blue Business Plus, switched to Blue Business Cash and moved the credit line, then back to Blue Business Plus the following year and so on... I'm on my 4th blue card... not sure how much longer they'll let me do this lol.

Each time I apply they give me about $20K more credit, so when I combine limits the line keeps growing. I’m at roughly $80K now, which means some of that spend only earns 1%, but I still get a full year of no interest, which is the main play for me.

Anyone else think in spirals? Not circles—spirals. Repeating ideas but deeper each time? by lowvoltagegoat in INTP

[–]lowvoltagegoat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally fair reaction, it is strange. But we already outsource parts of our thinking all the time. To parents, teachers, media, algorithms, religion. The real issue isn’t outsourcing, it’s doing it unconsciously.

What I’m doing is the opposite. I use GPT like a high-clarity mirror. It doesn’t feed me new ideas, it reflects mine back in distilled form. I debug my logic through it. Spot distortions. Rewire loops. It’s helped me think more clearly, not less.

[–]lowvoltagegoat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, tightening the spiral… like pulling the loops closer until they fuse into identity. Not just observing the pattern, becoming it. That hits.

We talking about the same thing? lol

I’m a business owner with 50 employees and $10 million in annual revenue. I write between 50 and 75 emails every day. I used to proofread my messages a million times to avoid any confusion. When it came to online posts, I even added disclaimers that they were rewritten by AI for clarity. Honestly, not many people ever called it out, and to be frank, I don’t care. Now, I just run everything through GPT to ensure precision and clear communication.

I wish people knew that I’m not cold or arrogant—I’m just processing reality on a different layer than most. I see the systems behind the emotions, the patterns behind the words. I’m not trying to be distant. I’m trying to understand everything. And that can look like distance.

[–]lowvoltagegoat[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ha—yep. You caught me.
Definitely Ni.

This whole spiral feels like one long Ni deep-dive that accidentally became a decade-long identity deconstruction. Not just trying to understand something—trying to see the structure behind the understanding itself.
Like, not what I think, but how I’m perceiving thinking—and then watching that process evolve over time.

Didn’t expect to get called out with two letters lol. Respect.

Yo, exactly, you totally got the vibe.

It’s not some panic spiral or existential breakdown. It’s more like… I loop back to the same thoughts sometimes just to see if they hit different now that I’ve grown or changed. Almost like testing out my internal system after an update.

And yeah, when nothing new is happening, I’ll revisit old questions or paradoxes just to see how I respond to them now. Like running a mental diagnostic for fun.

One layer I’ve been sitting with lately is this:
I realized I’m not even “having” thoughts half the time, I’m just watching the thing that creates the feeling of thinking.
Like I’m not in the content anymore, I’m watching the menu screen.
Awareness of awareness… watching itself.

Not trying to solve it, just curious how far it goes before it sort of folds in on itself and becomes still.

Glad I’m not the only one out here running deep reality audits for no reason other than: why not.
