People who lived in an HOA, what was your biggest nightmare with them?
  • Lived in a 1Br condo with one for 5 years. Didn’t have any major beef with mine.

    Only issue was they didn’t allow anyone to install air conditioners in their units when I first moved in. Then they said they’d be allowing mini-splits soon, after which it took them 2 years to get that approved. Unfortunately they had designated locations where the condenser had to go, which for the unit I was in, was right next to the front door and kitchen window. I was all ready to purchase one until that detail came out…

    Ended up toughing it out for the next year until I could afford to move out into a bigger house without an HOA. Now I’m happy to have full control over anything that goes on or through my roof, attic, and exterior walls.

    Free drink refills could be banned in Wales under Welsh government consultation
  • I can always cure and smoke my own pork belly, should the govt decide I can’t get it at a store…. Just like someone can take sugar and other garbage and put it into their water should they so desire.

    Chipotle is 're-emphasizing generous portions' after social-media complaints
  • I feel like it was good 2004-2010… at least those were my golden years there. The pork was still actually good, and their chips and guac were so bomb. Now their chips are just so sad, both in flavor and texture.

  • Flavor comes from my steak and my bacon Brussels sprouts, not my beverage.

    And actually sodas don’t “taste nice”. Go keto for a few months and break that sugar addiction. The next time you try a soda you’ll realize they’re all sickeningly sweet and not fit for human consumption.

  • Getting Plex and the *arrs off the NAS and onto a NUC really helped speed things up for me. That and moving over to UNIFI for my networking hardware.

  • Or have 2 piholes on 2 separate pieces of hardware, giving you the opportunity to fix things should one go down.

  • Yeah, this is not a U shaped curve. As you learn more and start to implement concepts like fail-safe and redundancy, the chances of everything in your house being broken goes way back down again.
