The Locator posted:I'm not sure what that thing has to do with having an HOA, but I'm pretty sure that much like the people that show up for HOA meetings because they are either busybodies or mad about something, the people who would sign up for and use this app are probably the same sort of people, who I want nothing to do with. Yeah basically this. If I had an HOA, the board would be filled with the type of people on NextDoor. fjelltorsk posted:Im doing pretty good.

The house I posted sold already. House hunting is frustrating. Lots of patience and nothing and looking and nothing and then suddenly a good deal gets posted and its sold within 24-48 hours. Cage fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Mar 31, 2017 |

KozmoNaut posted:I'm seriously considering selling my car, because it costs $800/year in emissions tax and $1,250/year for insurance, plus 10L/100km is no fun when gas is 11DKK/litre ($6/gallon). With 20,000km/year, that's ~$2,850/year in gas alone. Of course the comfort and torque is nice, but it certainly does come at a cost. I'll take pictures later, some por15 will probably make it a non-issue though. Having owned a 206SW I'll tell you the 1.4 petrol is dog slow. The 2.0hdi was fantastic. If it hadn't started suffering random electrical gremlins I'd still have it for certain.

Just get an RC, the only 206 ever worth considering.

Cage posted:The house I posted sold already. That's exactly why I ended up in a new build, in an HOA instead of finding the 'perfect' house somewhere outside of an HOA. It was simply impossible for someone working full-time and financing to be able to buy a house when people were jumping on everything with cash in hand and bidding over asking price. This was back in 2005 when the prices of houses here were going up sometimes several thousand dollars in a single week. This is also why I'm now still upside down in my house, as when the crash came, this area crashed really hard (fell to 20% or less of the top, and about 35% of what I bought at). Luckily the prices are recovering and I'm probably only a couple years away from being in a position to actually be able to sell and move if I decide I want to.

Any decent mechanical engineer would know that spot will fatigue, but they were probably overruled by the bean counters. I'll have to ask my brother in law about his Cobalt's clutch. Regarding the Nextdoor app, I joined up just for the neighborhood for sale and wanted notices. Also good for lost pets. I have seen very little bitching about neighbors on ours. Been handy for road closures and construction that's been happening lately.

I don't know if the Cobalt and G5 suffer from this issue nearly as much - they use a different part number, and a quick google didn't really turn up any results for the same issue.

We've got our official mortgage offer but I'm struggling at the minute getting builders to show up to give me quotes or even return my calls Though I rang this dude yesterday who answered the phone immediately but told me he couldnt help me cuz he was in a real sticky situation and he couldn't even think straight and he sounded like he had been crying 😬

Contractors have been in a lovely situation lately. A family friend had to sell his remodeling business after 20 years because he got too few real jobs in the last two years to be able to even cover the cost of his warehouse, let alone his staff I'm bartending a wedding tomorrow night, but I just found out that the bride and groom can't afford to actually pay me. It's worked out that I get to keep all of the leftover booze and any tips I get. I'd like legal tender, but I can always take more alcohol, I guess

Yeah, I agreed to do it for my sister-in-law's cousin as a favor and never talked to anyone in the wedding personally, but it was implied that I'd be paid. I can't complain too much, it should be fun either way

I've barely made any progress in therapy since it's about once a month (this school is huge and busy and the counseling office is a bit undersized) but the meds have got me feeling pretty good baseline lately. Now if I could just motivate myself to do work while I'm already swimming in serotonin...

Went to the NEC Classic & Restoration show with my dad today, nice day out. They had a section of "barn find" stuff people had got hold of but not started restoring yet, including this: Wish I could find one of those hiding at the back of an old workshop!
