  • Considering board members are made up of residents, there’s a good chance it was one of them then. Even them, that’s some petty nonsense.

    My mom’s neighborhood is an HOA, and they have a rule of no work/utility truck overnight parking. I have a shell and lumber rack on my truck that has a conduit box and ladders on it, and she’s gotten flagged for it a couple of times (there’s a specific crotchety old neighbor she suspects), but she’s just told them to go pound sand, and that’s somehow worked.

    Fuck HOAs. I’ve vowed to never live in one. I know it’s not an option for some people due to where they live, but I am not dealing with that crap.











  • Bongo. It used to be that when phones had the 3.5mm jack, many included the FM module because it was cheap and easy. But with the disappearing of the jack and the headphone wire with it, there’s no viable way to receive that FM signal. Most OTA analog wireless signals need a wire to propagate along in order to (for lack of a better term) collect enough of the signal to reproduce. It’s the same reason old analog cell phones had the antenna and extending it while wandering around or climbing up on something helped the call come in clearer. Digital signals don’t have that same issue, the signal is either on or off.
