I mean, if my experience is any indication, she won’t listen… But then again, it turns out my wife was passive aggressively trying to get me to leave her for years but I was too oblivious to get her hints…

Not that easy - changing the rules generally requires a vote to the homeowners, not just the board, and usually requires a minimum amount of participation (like a majority have to approve, regardless of how many(few) vote).

I don’t consider it authoritarian to not want my next door neighbor to turn their front lawn into a junkyard.
That is authoritarian, regardless of how reasonable the desire is. If the only thing keeping your neighbor from turning their front yard into a junkyard is a threat of force, is that a relationship worth preserving?

Ring doorbell camera can’t be “pointed”, it screws to a flat surface, presumably the doorway. That said, they have a pretty wide field of view.

In US we call that a housing cooperative, that’s different, because the co-op owns the building(s), then people own shares in the co-op. An HOA generally only owns (and maintains) the common areas, then individuals own their own building, but sometimes there aren’t any common areas, then you’re just paying the HOA for the privilege of being subject to their extra rules. Co-ops are rare, and harder to finance (since you don’t own something that can be foreclosed on)

Seems like it should be possible to introduce crab grass to his lawn…

I grew up in Boston, I’ve lived in Phoenix for the last 25 years… I think you have that backwards, at least that’s been my experience.

A day? In New England we say if you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes, it’ll change. And Boston drivers aren’t bad, just aggressive. New Jersey drivers are bad.

Motorcycle Safety Foundation. They do rider training, then when you complete it it counts as your road test when you add the motorcycle endorsement to your license.

Same way I stuck with my wife for 20 years despite her being a rotten person - I kept hoping it would get better, and she’d string me along with promises… Then she cheated on me with our son’s best friend’s dad, that finally made it easy to leave, and once I left, hindsight made all the previous mistreatment so much more obvious…

I ride a motorcycle… When I was doing the MSF training (after riding illegally for years), I kept getting dinged for not turning my head to look into a turn. Thing is, I have excellent peripheral vision. I can see 90° to either side when I’m looking straight ahead - so I tend to keep my gaze straight ahead regardless of where my attention is…

I did that when I was young and worked throwaway jobs. I used to have a manager named Rick who would routinely make fun of people’s names… So I would call him Prick. To his face, of course. He tried to fire me once, but he was overruled by the owner.

Yes! Thank you for putting this into words, I had the same experience recently but couldn’t articulate what I was feeling…

Actually, rich people are notorious for not paying back their loans, they can afford the high interest rates.

The problem is “path of least resistance” implies that there is only one path, which laymen tend to take literally. I go for bike rides along a canal which also has high voltage power lines running above it. If I hold my handlebars just right, with my hands just barely touching the metal of my brake levers, the (I assume) corona discharge gets rather painful. “Path of least resistance” seems like it should be confined to the wire, but in fact includes ~100 feet of air between wire and ground… And me.

They are, actually. The point of patents and copyright is not to protect the creator- that’s a temporary effect. The point is to release the thing to the public afterwards. The problem is that capitalism corrupts the process and finds ways to make the temporary effects permanent. Disney has succeeded in making copyright last effectively forever.
