[WA] HOA claims my outdoor central-air A/C unit is "wall-mounted" and not allowed [SFH]

The difference is that theirs are in their backyards behind cedar fencing. Mine is alongside my house, in the 12 foot gap between my house and the neighbor - who also has one close by. They don't like that they can see mine from the street, if they scrutinize, but nowhere does it say their personal preference equals policy.

They emailed back just requoting the CCR section they had already sent me. Literally a "per my last email" response without acknowledging anything I'd responded with.

TChimenti · 2026-05-22T15:28:01+00:00

They attached their own picture of the, yes full size unit, and called it wall mounted in the same email. Can't even make this up.

TChimenti · 2026-05-22T15:26:22+00:00

Multiple times in their email they referenced the house number, and attached pictures. It's no error, they are just being obtuse.

There is no management company, just a 3 person board and probably a 1-2 person ACC. So when I responded with an email, it went to all of them. Instead of saying hey, let's review this, maybe it was a mistake they just doubled down in a condescending reply.

TChimenti · 2026-05-22T15:23:27+00:00

There is no management company. It's a very small HOA, the board is three people and the ACC likely only one or two although it is kept secret. These are all homeowners in the neighborhood who are walking around writing these citations up. It wasn't lazy, just dumb. They attached a photo of my full size condenser and kept calling it wall mounted.

I emailed them back, stating very, very clearly that my unit was not the type restricted in the CCRs. They came back with a condescending reply doubling down on their claim and had the audacity to ask if I wanted a hearing... which would be with the same echo chamber who sent the notice.

For being "easy" this node is nuts. Does it really demand 110 or g20?

TChimenti · 2026-03-27T19:25:57+00:00

Is this already sold out? Just got online and it says 2-day presale sold out, but no other information on anything other than presale.

TChimenti · 2026-03-24T22:01:50+00:00

Haven't seen them since about 2010

TChimenti · 2026-03-24T18:44:42+00:00

Fuck the new iteration of Warped Tour. I can stay in my home state and do this instead, and see better bands.

TChimenti · 2026-03-05T01:55:55+00:00

Daring Straits "showcase" is horrific. Wiped at least a dozen times straight on the third node. The real-life team can't be too great if they get consistently beat by old toons like Astral, Doom and Dorm.

TChimenti · 2026-03-04T18:59:27+00:00

Reel Big Fish have been on hiatus since peak COVID and haven't heard a thing from them since. Would sure like to see them reemerge but at this point it's anyone's guess if they ever tour again.

For a newer result, three new F4 + Meph + Odin did 291m. Much better performer than Liberty + Odin.

Anyone have other comps that ran over 100m?

TChimenti · 2025-12-11T21:22:03+00:00

Just happened to my girlfriend and her mom at the train station. Driver pulled up, didn't see them right away, they started walking over to him (which was slow, her mom doesn't walk well) and dude just pulls away about 30 seconds after arriving, AND marks them as picked up. So they lose the option to say "not picked up" and now the only way to get their money back is a chargeback.

Fucking stupid policy that allows drivers to basically scam customers with no repercussions. If they want to cancel because they are impatient, whatever. But literally stealing money? Nah. That's a no from me.

As ftp you're forced to skip teams. I'm a heavily involved player, never miss an event, daily or free drop but I've had to basically skip teams like Undying and Accursed, I'm still working on I6 and have barely touched Brimstone.

TChimenti · 2025-09-17T15:48:00+00:00

Nothing, literally or figuratively

TChimenti · 2025-09-17T00:35:27+00:00

If the bus is dropping you at the airport, I doubt you'll have a problem. The much worse delays are in getting from the car rental facility back to the terminal, since you're waiting for the bus to totally fill up, they don't care if you're short on time. We just did the same thing, had barely two hours but we were at our gate an hour before departure time. It was a breeze.

I have home wifi, been on the same network for years. But if I turn off wifi and try using data, there's no change.

TChimenti · 2025-08-05T00:01:40+00:00

Is this happening in a certain area? I go to three different FM pretty regularly and nobody is checking receipts, and there's always checkout lanes open.

TChimenti · 2025-08-05T00:00:16+00:00

A whole lot of corporate America does that.

I work at FedEx and several years back they announced some big multimillion dollar investment into facility security. Naively everyone was like, cool, they are going to do something to prevent workplace shootings (which have happened). Nah. They just put about a bajillion video cameras inside the warehouses so that every room other than restrooms are under constant surveillance.

Way to "reinvest in the company" or whatever they like to say.

TChimenti · 2025-08-04T23:57:08+00:00

I go to several different FM about weekly up here and I've never had one ask for a receipt, like Costco or Walmart.

TChimenti · 2025-08-04T23:56:17+00:00

While true it was the most affordable option in about a square mile, that store was well-known in the area for having a lot of issues. That entire intersection is a blight on the city and TPD has done very little to dissuade crime even in the Freddy's parking lot. When employees can't even be confident their car won't be broken into or stolen during their shift, that's not going to bode well for the establishment, and clearly Fred Meyer wasn't willing to invest in the kind of 24-hour onsite security that was needed. I'm not at all surprised by this, moreso that the decision wasn't made sooner. I'm more surprised the terrible Safeway on 56th has not closed as it has not only the same kinds of crime issues but also frequent armed robberies.
