The dudes just left, we're on the central/south area near Fremont/Seminole and it's $60/mo locked in for life, free install and equipment. We stuck with the 200mbps up/down, no need for more (which were more expensive). Couldn't sign up fast enough. They running straight to the house from the back yard so no construction fees. Maybe that's what happened with the center of town?

that is super helpful and informative! Thank you! Their job ad should really be more clear what's happening, what they're offering

I do now! dang, they should definitely be clearer

Seoul Market on Campbell has it, we just got some there the other day

Big OOOF here

Laid off in January (happy 31st b-day to me!), cat just got a diagnosis of cancer, on unemployment and trying to get medicare to help with my maintenance meds so I don't die before I have insurance coverage again...

Been trying to apply to places I might actually want to work rather than settle and it is the most demoralizing feeling. There's shockingly(?) little going on here in the realm of employment opportunity.

Oh, and the climate is fucked and only getting more fucked and our entire society is on the verge of collapse.

All *weather* matters

Never Forget

Is this my brother Dakota? Because that is 100% a Dakota-thing to say.

I'd call/email and ask, I do not know

He works out of his home, and being just one dude, things took a bit longer. Honestly worth it for what he saved us.

The story: Our 2007 Lexus needed a new alternator (or so we thought). Everywhere we took it wanted over $1k because on this stupid car the alternator is under the damn engine, and lifting the engine is a pill. We even considered doing it ourselves in the driveway with a friend's (and YouTube's) help. Luckily we were dissuaded from that.

My partner goes and is asking around, and a guy at one of the O'reillys hands him this guy's card. We got in touch and not only did he get discounts on parts, he was very straight with us about fixing it. Very communicative. Wasn't the alternator, something else was leaking oil on it, [more car-speak], etc... saved us thousands, actually took the time to diagnose and fix the problem and any others he saw. Gave us back a FIXED car, not a ticking time bomb money-pit.

100% recommend and will go back if anything else goes off about the car. Plus, he's just a cool dude.

Come on now, that hero is single-handedly saving the whole city's native insect populations

I'm only half being sarcastic here... raking leaves rather than leaving them does harm insect populations. Maybe go talk to them and see if they need help or assistance? if it bothers you this much..., it doesn't seem to bother them. (Please don't pull a Karen and call the city/cops)

I agree with they don't really fix things...

Ex: 1. one of our windows began leaking a few years back and they sent someone who supposedly patched it. Recently the top inside of the frame began falling in the room. They came back and sealed the outside only without exploring or addressing whatever's happening inside the wall. It's like a ticking time bomb.

2. The owner decided some trees were too close to the house so hired someone to cut them, who left the stumps untreated. Despite telling them, they haven't done more so guess I'm stuck trimming suckers forever or having to somehow treat the stumps myself.

3. For years I told them the furnace filter grates were inaccessible, someone painted over the screws and they don't have quick-releases. 3x they promised to look into it. We've lived here 5 yrs now. Only recently did I discover the filters live deep up inside my furnace, almost inaccessible, and changing them puts me in contact with fiberglass I cuts my arm on sharp sheet metal. I let G&J know and they said they'd charge us to change the filters and had no further responses once I let them know I'd changed them myself (though provided photos, video, and explanation of how difficult it is). (YouTube search furnace filter Rheem Criterion II to see what I mean).

They're very hands-off. We've luckily had to call them incredibly infrequently and they don't bother us much. Only started annual inside/outside inspections this last year.

Aside from the above maintenance things, I like them.

I really liked seeing Dr Joe Dill at Parkcrest Dental back when I had insurance they'd take (No idea if privately owned or how many years in business)

Everyone remember that story about the guy who'd go out in the yard every so often and fire his gun into the air to keep property values down?

Idk if property values have anything to do with the costs of living and rent right now, but if they do, I might say we need more guys like that tale, and everyone /fortunate/ enough to be able to own a home can check their privilege.

This link doesn't seem to work on my phone, just tells me to get Google lens app

Thanks! It doesn't seem to include any info on enrollment, just a MODOC contact and an MU extension agent name, do I just call them? Are there any fees involved?

I used to volunteer at the CARE animal shelter on Fort, it was really rewarding and bonus got to love on some very cute critters! This was about a decade ago, though

Can you give more detail on this? Very interested
