Unpleasant experience this morning, service technician (from company I bought it from) came out to do a routine annual A/C check.

I won't go into details but the safety switch between breaker and furnace "just happened" to suddenly go bad and started popping and crackling while he was here--the one they replaced the previous switch with when the same thing happened last year (that one actually blew its fuse rather than spark).

I don't know what they're doing in these checks (he says absolutely nothing he did could cause that), but it seems like a hell of a coincidence this would just happen to occur right while they're messing with it 2 years in a row. But I'm expected to believe 1) it must have been like that already, even though it definitely wasn't, and he admitted it wasn't doing that when we first down there ("but maybe it's intermittent"--as if I wouldn't notice something like that or smell it), or 2) oh you know, those 'crappy parts from China' can go bad at any time.

So during all this a voice starts coming out of his phone and he says, oh that's my glasses talking to me. That's when I realized he was wearing *Meta smart glasses!* :blobdisapproval: I'd noticed they had unusually thick frames but thought nothing of it. He assured me he hadn't been recording. More dystopian shit to have to be on the lookout for now. :brdScream:
