Nothing about this story of a woman assaulting a chipotle worker receiving her sentence to work in fast food herself is good. None of it. -- (link) - Qale Dec 6, 20:17 1

  - Yes totally. But when he took off the sweatband for Riverdance I was like "wait actually *are* you cute?" -- nm* - amandaphone Dec 6, 20:12
- Do you think he and his instructor exchanged numbers or instas or whatever kids these days exchange? -- nm - Dano Dec 6, 19:23 2

My new condo fee for 2024 will be $666 per month. I wonder if that's the movie whispering to me "Get ouuut..." -- nm - Max Dec 6, 18:23 19
- Does that include property taxes? -- nm - Meg Dec 6, 19:14 2
  - no, the HOA doesn't collect taxes other than the small portion of the budget the HOA pays for taxable income. -- nm* - Max Dec 6, 19:16 1
    - Ah, so we're all even there. -- nm - Meg Dec 6, 19:32

  - Yes. Covering HVAC, electric, water, amenities paid to the HOA. The mortgage is separate. -- nm - Max Dec 6, 18:28 5
    - That seems really good to cover all of that. -- nm - MDH Dec 6, 19:06 1
      - The biggest benefit might be that we have 24/7 front desk service that handles all package deliveries. - Max Dec 6, 19:39
    - That seems.. excessive. I mean evil? Demonic? - sycor Dec 6, 18:54 2
      - I pay a little less than 1/2 that in a 20 unit townhouse development and pay my own utilities. I'm expecting it to go up with the new trash system. -- nm - Meg Dec 6, 18:57
