    Sometimes, I have a friend with celiac who often sees “gluten free°” on menus to look down at the bottom of the menu and see “°not for people with gluten sensitivities”

    He calls it “Becky gluten free” because Becky doesn’t know what gluten is but she doesn’t want it in her body.



  • We use signal. You have to know people personally to get hooked into chat rooms though. You’re not going to get a link from n00bpwner420 on the server, you’ll have to get it from Jeff, the guy you’ve gamed with for fifteen years. Our group is pretty tight though (have each other’s real names, phone numbers, send Christmas cards to each other, etc), so it works for us.



  • About 2014, HOA decided to do some upgrade to our water main coming from the street. The guy came out with a weedeater and damaged my mailbox post. I reported it to the board and they said they would take care of it. Two weeks later I got a violation in the mail for damaged mailbox post. I went to the board website and they told me I had to repair it or face a fine. Right about this time the builder stepped down and handed the HOA to an attorneys office to manage. I reached out to the attorney to forward them the first message and ask them to repair my mailbox post and they said they would send someone out. About a month later I got a notice from the HOA that said this was my third warning (it was my second) and they were going to put a lein on my house if I didn’t pay the fine, fix the mailbox post, and now pay a separate fee to the attorneys office since they were managing it.

    I sent the HOA and the attorneys office copies of both of their messages saying they would handle it with a picture of my damaged mailbox post. Three months later, we get the yearly Financials from the board and the attorneys office charged the HOA $1,800 to put a $500 lein on the title of my home that we had paid off after trying to go through my previous mortgage holder’s legal department to try to get the fine out of my escrow that no longer existed.

    We sold the house with a damaged mailbox post last year. Our new neighborhood has no HOA.









  • FISA authorizes a specific court to authorize warrants, the FISC, however the article looks directly at the NSAs role who is not affiliated with or charged by FISC, but through warrants and direction of the FBI. The FBI is not very scary since people normally associate them with protection of national interests, so instead the article only mentions who the tasking authority and holder of the warrant actually is. The article uses key terms specifically to get a reaction from a small subset as click bait without even providing accurate information about the topic. It’s lazy and uninformative.
