Using the law to force your HOA into something, though, sounds like a really good way to ensure that your HOA will fuck with you by every possible means for the rest of your natural life. HOAs can be pretty evil that way.

What happened to regulation of private companies? Easy answer. The modern GOP happened.

Actually, if you check some style guides, you'll find that there is debate on this question. And rightly so.

Oh, dear. There's a glaring style error in line 2 of this document. It has quotation marks around "Print this Document". For no reason. That's not what quotation marks are for. That's not how anything works. The res

Yes. This is actually about as clear of an example as you can find of what it says.

Looks like this is where J. K. Rowling got the names "Albus" and "Rubeus" from.

Let's please not further the idea that it's acceptable to quote only downstream speed when citing Internet speeds. Doing that just leads to 20 more years of Comcast killing the concept of modern Internet service for Americans. Cit

The real story here is how great the internet service can be now in a civilized country if you don't let Comcast have monopolies and ban local internet cooperatives and coast along selling the same service for 15 years while raising pr

Really, seriously, anyone with even a passing familiarity with this subject knows this. And it's been the case for some time.

Maybe someone who has made money at classical music for 30 years knows a bit more than you about it. I mean, do five minutes of research. At least Google it. Also, if you think a random "classic" [sic] music station in your car te

Los Angeles wasn't part of the comparison, however. The question was about housing values and why they'd be so much higher in SF than in Portland or Seattle. And speaking as an experienced professional musician who has performed a

Grunge is not "early music". Bach is. ;) That said, yes, granted, Seattle deserves credit for grunge. But no, the Seattle Symphony is not a world-class orchestra. The SF Symphony is, though.

Yeah, I read that book, and have it on my shelves, and it has not a single fucking thing to do with the issue in this thread.

Neither Portland nor Seattle can match the Bay Area in terms of overall culture. Neither has a world-class orchestra or opera, to say nothing of the early-music scene in the Bay Area, which is easily the best in the US. Neither measures up

They have plenty of bargaining power, by and large. They're rich, and they have resumes with an Apple job on them. I would never say anything against unionizing, and more power to them if they wish to unionize, but I think they have pl

This sounds like you haven't really investigated the issue. Apple's plan, for instance, does allow a lot of flexibility; they are making Wednesdays and Fridays work-from-home days.

Spending 30% more? More like 130% more, based on my very recent homebuying experience in another very nice city compared to what that experience would have been like in the Bay Area.

It's astonishing to me that anyone who bought an Android or Google-centric TV product of any kind would expect anything other than that. They exist to track you and sell you ads. Period, paragraph. This is their business model. Accept

I mean, who cares if it works medically as an antidepressant? Just thinking about eating anything with saffron in it automatically makes me feel happier. :)

Have you thought this through? Countries are going to think twice before applying serious sanctions to China, given that China can shut off their supply chain for, well, basically everything.

Things like the tab bar and the reload button are not mere "widgets"; they are the core UI elements. They are the single most important part of the app. This is simply a bad call. I'm all for saving vertical space whenever po

Not a good analogy at all. You're comparing inanimate objects that people consume, entirely by choice, to an animal that can maim or kill others? Find a different rhetorical device, I'd say.

This comment basically drips with a fundamental inability to see this situation from the other person's perspective. Even to see the most basic thing , which is that other people have no oracular powers with which to discern whether y

Quite to the contrary, I'd talk to you exactly like this in real life. I cordially invite you to coffee if you'd like proof of that. You made a very broad claim that was unsupported, so I asked you to support it. You responded wit

It never happened. Why are you telling outright lies in public? Obviously the download of that app is entirely voluntary, and just as obviously, Google has no clue about your status unless you disclose it to them.

That's what we just chose. We figure that climate change will probably make the winters at least slightly less severe. :) We hope. Perhaps that's just a dream.
