    - fancypants! did you get a key to the executive bathroom too? -- nm - decline Aug 6, 11:55
    - You should fly Concord, as well. -- nm - Spawn Aug 6, 11:41
Sent a proposal for a huge HOA in late June and had not heard back. It was a long shot, anyway. - Spawn Aug 6, 11:19 13
- What do you do again? Like, hot tubs or something? -- nm - David Aug 6, 12:46
- So I knew you did HOA stuff and property management. So do you manage HOAs? I don't really get it. - sycor Aug 6, 11:28 7
  - Yeah, we have rental properties but HOAs have evolved into our main. Elected boards sometimes do a little work but we solicit bids, write checks, - Spawn Aug 6, 11:33 6
    - Interesting. I never really paid that much attention when I had HOAs in the past. - sycor Aug 6, 11:39 5
      - HOA Boards do not get paid, at least in Indiana. We do, though! -- nm - Spawn Aug 6, 11:40 4
        
        I think they might around here. Maybe depends on the HOA. But then again, a lot of people probably serve on the HOA for the power trip. - sycor Aug 6, 11:42 3
        
        One of the purposes I serve is continuity. I do my best to try and keep things running *sensibly*. If a new board member tries to get too crazy, - Spawn Aug 6, 11:51 2
        
        That's good. HOAs, from my experience, need a voice of reason and logic. -- nm - sycor Aug 6, 11:59 1
        
        I will say this, if you are ever in an HOA and the Board suddenly terminates the management company for no good reason? - Spawn Aug 6, 12:02
- Best of luck! -- nm - Krusty Aug 6, 11:27
- Are your HOAs doing in person or zoom meeting? Ours seems to want to do one by the pool but I think zoom will work better - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 6, 11:22 1
  - One has tried zoom and then later switched to pool. Most are simply not meeting. This new one, also by their pool. - Spawn Aug 6, 11:26
- Good luck! -- nm - decline Aug 6, 11:21
I like this YouTube channel. This episode Korean street food corn dogs. -- (link) - sycor Aug 6, 11:07 [youtube] 1
- That's some gooey madness. -- nm - Mop Aug 6, 12:40
All this excitement and push about vote by mail. But is anyone talking about how black people prefer to vote in person anyway because history? - con_carne Aug 6, 10:55
this week Iron banner is back in destiny, and all i can think about is - tRuMaN Aug 6, 10:51 9
- played some last night, the amount of phantom kills and shotguns running around are nauseating. -- nm - groiny Aug 6, 12:54 1
  - and some massive OP fusion rifle just tearing everything up. -- nm - groiny Aug 6, 12:56
- Check this out. -- (link) - Shaun Aug 6, 10:57 [youtube] 6
  - most of the old halo crew were part of a 100 to like 10 game once. - tRuMaN Aug 6, 11:08 5
    - What I would not have given for a Halo Energy Sword. -- nm - Spawn Aug 6, 11:21 4
      - Just go to Target and buy one! -- nm - Shaun Aug 6, 11:25 3
        
        I totally would if it were Lego. But it's not. -- nm - sycor Aug 6, 11:29
        
        If only that would work. - Spawn Aug 6, 11:27 1
        
        I remember back in the day someone made a metal that was all shiny and rainbow colored one. I have no idea who though. -- nm - sycor Aug 6, 11:30
Sigh. Isaias fallout. 36 hours of no power. 1 dead server. 1 almost dead PC requiring a windows reinstall and restoring a lot of software - decline Aug 6, 10:37 5
- That’s a bit long on the loss of power for a minimal storm. But luck plays a huge role. And yeah, it could have been way worse. -- nm - Qale Aug 6, 10:40 3
  - Jersey got hit hard with the power problems. Over 1M homes/businesses lost power so it was just getting someone out here to fix a transformer - decline Aug 6, 10:43 2
    - Living next door to an airport has its advantages for me in this case, perhaps. -- nm - Qale Aug 6, 10:47 1
      - Or like PLP and I said last night - on the same grid as the PD, Fire Dept, or hospital. -- nm - Meg Aug 6, 12:02
- holy......36 hours?!?? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 6, 10:39
Let's rekindle yesterday's conversation. -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 6, 10:33 17
- Accurate. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 10:55
- I haven't watched Season 2 yet. I had a few issues with season 1, but overall enjoyed it. -- nm - sycor Aug 6, 10:34 15
  - I felt that season two was a vast improvement over season 1. David disagrees. - Beryllium Aug 6, 10:36 14
    - Glad I have never seen a single second of it. After Enterprise I will probably watch it and look forward to seeing how wrong you people (David) are. -- nm - Spawn Aug 6, 11:16
    - I’m getting worried about some of you. -- nm - David Aug 6, 10:45 10
      - When did people get so literal? -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 10:54
      - But do you agree that Doom Patrol is much better than Umbrella Academy? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 10:47 8
        
        I haven't seen it but...GOOD LORD NO!!! -- nm - David Aug 6, 11:29 7
        
        ... what? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 11:31 6
        
        There's simply no way Doom Patrol could match Umbrella Academy in my eyes. -- nm - David Aug 6, 11:38 5
        
        ... but it has the Sex Men. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 11:45 4
        
        Are you sexually harassing me? -- nm - David Aug 6, 11:48 3
        
        No. I'm spoiling the latest season for you, in an attempt to entice you into watching the show. - Beryllium Aug 6, 11:50 2
        
        It...didn't work. If the Sex Men were a band, I wouldn't watch them in concert. -- nm - David Aug 6, 13:17 1
        
        spoilers - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:42
    - I haven't seen Doom Patrol. It's on my list to watch when I rotate to HBO or where ever it's streaming. And I plan to watch Umbrella this weekend. -- nm - sycor Aug 6, 10:38
    - I think Season 2 is more fun, but Season 1 is better. I thoroughly enjoy it but find it's best not to think about it all too much. Also, The - Andie Aug 6, 10:38
LIR Mop, I've gotten that SSA call before, but didn't answer so they left a vm. I was tempted to call back. - sycor Aug 6, 10:33 1
- Yeah, I have fantasies about talking to them and turning the tables. "No, an arrest warrant has been issue in YOUR name!" but that'll never happen. -- nm - Mop Aug 6, 11:23
Since we were apparently reminiscing about Coyote Ugly, here is my original review of it. - Qale Aug 6, 10:29 1
- With only minor modifications, that review would also work for Justice League. -- nm - Spawn Aug 6, 11:14
Just remembered, the Trump contractor I mentioned? Guess where his wife works? Spoiler in case you want to guess - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 6, 10:29 5
