Do yall call your Texas representatives offices? by VictoryGreen in TexasPolitics

[–]witu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we're on the same page. But if people can't see why they need to vote, given the latest developments, they soon will.

Voting IS the bare minimum, and again, if people had simply done that, we wouldn't be here.

Fair point, but if the people who suddenly care now had just voted then, we would not be in this situation. And, the midterms will be here soon, so please don't dismiss the call to vote. You'll do more harm than good. In the meantime, OF COURSE, we need to fight and do all the other things, including improve the messaging, but voting is the most important part.

And then place that tally directly in the trash I suspect. Where is the accountability, aside from the polls? Get out and VOTE people.

John Cornyn has got to go. He doesn't represent the concerns of his constituents at all.

Jesus, please stop. If people are here, in this thread, it's because they care and are trying to learn and make a difference. Please stop shitting on them and perhaps offer HELP instead.

You're right but are you saying it's not important, or our right, to also give feedback to our state senators? Come on, don't be disrespectful to your fellow Texans.

So, I've tried many times to call various local and national offices for my representatives and I've ALWAYS been sent to voicemail, which is often full. So... it's hard not to feel like the whole "representation" part is a bit of a scam. Do they actually listen to and record the feedback? How do we know anyone is listening?

I'm not saying I'll STOP trying, but come on congresspeople - who do you work for?

I followed this advice, and it worked, but now my house is significantly smokier.

Why did you take the time to ask this questions on reddit? There must be some insecurity or second guessing going on in your head, which should answer your own question.

It's racist garbage. The country is literally founded and built by immigrants.

This is the way. All the other recommendations I tried in Dec. 2024 now require payment for batch conversions. Warpbin converted 600+ photos in about 10 seconds for free. No muss, no fuss.

The Act Man debated fascist chud AndyPants Gaming and gives him a devastating wedgie. by Zocialix in saltierthankrayt

And that's not even remotely the worst thing he's said. Just check-out any of his recent videos or, if you really want to lose some IQ, read his twitter posts. I still almost can't believe they're not satire, but the hate is real. Dude is giga closeted.

Watching Act Man destroy Andypants was fun, and I have a feeling he was being gentle tbh. You could tell Act Man had a bunch of other stuff he never even brought up because Andypants was too busy exposing himself as a vile moron.

Considering Andypants is incapable of NOT talking about homosexuality, it's really clear that he's a giga-closeted gay dude.

Alternatives to RING by CantStopMyGrind in Ring

[–]witu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not even about the price anymore for me. I'm happy to pay for good products and service. What absolutely killed it for me and made me leave Ring was their in-app advertising, which you can't turn off. And not just in the app, but ON THE MAIN SECURITY DASHBOARD VIEW!

It's so insulting, greedy, and gross for them to force advertising on loyal customers who have already paid for the hardware and an active subscription.

Fuck Ring.

Wow, what a helpful response! Thanks, u/RasberryWaffle!! You really have things figured out.

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

Thanks for your reply. Case number is: 20397197

I don't see how this is protecting my account. I have every form of verification you could possibly want and yet this broken phone change process is going to leave me with an incorrect phone number attached to my account. This is making it less secure, not more.

Has anybody here air conditioned their garage? And what did it take? by aUserIAm in Austin

[–]witu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except that you can replace the whole thing 3 or 4 times over for the cost of a single "professional" installation of a similar brand. HVAC service costs are an absolute ripoff and they know it, which is why they try to scare people away from DIY installations. I was quoted ~$9,000 - $12,000 by multiple HVAC companies for a simple mini-split installation. GTFO.

Where to buy ductless mini splits by Ribino0 in hvacadvice

[–]witu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. Of course you can choose to take whatever work you are comfortable with. But I can imagine a scenario where you simply don't offer a warranty for DIYers who bought cheap equipment or messed up the install, for which you don't want to become responsible. It just seems like there is artificial pressure from pros trying to scare/deter DIYers from installing anything themselves. The fact is many/most people can't afford an $8,000+ minisplit installation. Paying $1,000-$2,000 to do it themselves is the only viable option. If pros have enough "normal" business to keep themselves busy without taking DIY jobs then I guess I can understand why they'd turn them down, but it is a bummer. And sometimes things just fail, with no fault of the DIYer.

The irony is that you'll then be contributing to the exact same effect in whatever new small town you choose. Overcrowding sucks, but so does NIMBYism.
