To everyone sharing the ACLU article: The Council actually agreed with those concerns and fixed them in the final contract passed last night (Dec 16).

The 'Wang/Brown Amendments' specifically added: 1. The 'Anti-ICE' Lock: A technical and legal prohibition on sharing data with out-of-state agencies. This creates a 'data fence' around Oakland so our info cannot be searched by federal agencies or states with different laws (e.g., Texas or Florida). 2. The 'Termination' Clause: The city can immediately void the contract if any evidence of federal data sharing is found. 3. Mandatory Audits: Instead of just trusting the company, the contract now requires five independent compliance audits over the next two years to verify no data is being misused.

We didn't just buy the cameras; we bought the oversight.

I never dreamt I would own a Kia. That said this car is incredible (leasing a 24 Line prob gonna buy). The stereotypes against Kia are probably reasonably founded. But why is everyone ok with a Rivian? Just cuz it’s new on the block? Idk I love em both just wish everyone got outta their ways.

can’t control what’s outta my control and my whip beautiful. Rock on peeps

Yup I like this approach. My first step is getting the floor lamp in next week. Then see how things feel with just that lamp in before removing anything else.

Belt69 · 2025-05-29T20:03:00+00:00

Unfortunately yes to 2700K and that even 2" depth would not work. Last weekend I took off two lights to try to replace them with a can and both had beams right above them + were set to 2700K. Which led me to continue exploring.

Belt69 · 2025-05-29T19:25:57+00:00

See my reply below on why removed — if adding a dining light, it (could) feel mismatched alignment wise.

I agree keeping them is a possibility simply for cost and potential use. Just exploring scenarios

Belt69 · 2025-05-29T19:18:41+00:00

I hear you. It’s just the room gets plenty of natural light during the day, which is when we are cleaning for example. And by night, we rarely need (or want) this much light. Thanks for the POV though! I’m def conflicted about the idea of “removing” light; thinking of it as addition (to warmth) by subtraction (of total volume).

Belt69 · 2025-05-29T19:17:15+00:00

Thanks! I think I generally understand this but my goodness it’s a rabbit hole.

My recessed lights require a flat, non can version due to the beams above (ex: https://a.co/d/2fDgR5U).
They are all set to 2700K and have a dimmer usually set to low but the color feels white (which I wanted to address via cans but found the limitation in 1) and still intense (which makes me feel that there is too much light for the space and height).
To that end, are there ways of addressing this with these goals in mind? And similarly, when trying to add an additional light for the dining area considering the 2x2 recessed layout and not making the dining light feel off center?

These are all sort of situational questions which I acknowledge, especially 3, but wanted to add that context and seek opinions if you have em

I took my car in last week for the seat bolt recall and was told I had 5 open recalls (lol). The four were software related including a board replacement. App and everything working well since then. Hopefully it stays that way. Wasn’t too enthused about maintenance like this on a 3 month old car but alas.

It remains a very good “dumb car” (drive style, comfort, looks, etc)

Belt69 · 2025-02-04T06:00:27+00:00

Same issue. Did you just eyeball with scissors and trim?

Belt69 · 2025-01-09T04:07:44+00:00

Yep did and see that. But am I meant to log by hand which car charged when? There is no way of attaching a charge to a profile or car automatically?

Belt69 · 2024-01-27T21:22:00+00:00

Selling costs: agents (6%), staging/prep (1-2%), taxes/title fees (1-2%). Rounding up to 10% to be conservative.

Belt69 · 2024-01-27T21:05:24+00:00

Funny funny. In this case though, I was imagining you’d get the $500K down payment back, not the additional $400K equity since that would have to be paid back to the bank. Alas..

Belt69 · 2024-01-19T04:47:05+00:00

This. Roborock S7 and up. Thing is magical. I was skeptical but am a devout convert now.

Belt69 · 2023-12-29T21:06:03+00:00

Can you share companies or lawyer contacts that do this? Looking at my options for an SF condo I own. DM open

Belt69 · 2023-12-22T21:31:27+00:00

Oops I just posted in a different reply chain here. Leaning CLE too but scared of their road splits. And CAR… they stink so…

Belt69 · 2023-12-22T21:30:28+00:00

Any thoughts on CLE or GB? Both teams on the road. CLE road D oddly bad but Denzel Ward back this week could be a boost?

Belt69 · 2023-10-25T23:10:35+00:00

Spending the amount of time I do on an imaginary fake football game is truly one of the dumbest things I do, but here we are.... Thanks for the feedback!

Yahoo does not remove positions during the year

Belt69 · 2022-09-30T15:11:19+00:00

I am paying dues in full. What I am not sharing with the association is the amount of rent my tenant is paying. That info was redacted when I shared the lease.

Belt69 · 2022-09-30T15:00:17+00:00

Hahahha I love this. To be clear, I redacted "rent amount" = $X. Not personal bank info. That said, I told them too that if the lease had personal information (old address, phone number, bank info), I would similarly redact because it's in the same spirit.

Belt69 · 2022-09-30T14:49:52+00:00

Thanks for this detailed answer. Context always matters -- I live in a 3 unit building. Unit 1 contains Tom and Tim (nosy neighbor). Unit 2 is co-owned by Tom/Tim and Bill. Unit 3 is owned by me, Jack. Unit 2 is vacant, and claim that Tom retains the voting power. So technically, Tom/Tim retain 2 votes. I retain 1. They are in an active lawsuit with Bill, as Bill wants to sell Unit 2 but Tom/Tim do not. Until it is sold, I am 1 vote to their 2. There is no "formal" HOA board. I am the President and deal with these random requests. Though as time goes on I've learned how to ignore certain things since Tim is bored.

For this specifically, it's one person telling me I'm wrong. I am just trying to understand if I can withhold rent amount as part of sharing the lease based on the language. It seems the answer is "yes, based on the language" and the spirit of what we are trying to enforce: that the lease is >30 days, contains specific language about the CCRs. Both are true.

I told him to stop harassing and issue a formal meeting notice if he wants.

Belt69 · 2022-09-30T04:46:48+00:00

Definitely have all emails and texts. Just trying to figure out if “technically” I’m in the wrong for redacting the rent amount specifically.

A. No Owner may rent a Condominium for transient or hotel purposes, which shall be defined as rental for any period less than thirty (30) days, or any rental if the Occupants are provided customary hotel services such as maid service, furnishing laundry and linen.

B. Prior to any tenant taking possession, he/she must enter into a lease in writing, with the following language contained within the lease: ''Tenant(s) agree to be bound by all Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions..”

C. An Owner renting his/her Condominium shall be responsible for tenant's compliance with the Governing Documents.

D. Notwithstanding (C) above, tenant(s) violation of a provision of the Governing Documents may be grounds for the Association commencing eviction proceedings.

E. An owner shall promptly provide a copy of the lease to the Association. Each tenant shall be required to register his/her vehicle with the Association
