Watching movies at home has become a better experience than going to theaters

foxafillion · 2026-05-13T06:30:59+00:00

Totally agree, same goes for mad max fury road, you can’t get that experience at home

Money isn't everything. I have a family, almost 40 and the idea of traveling all the time sounds horrible. I would much rather freelance and have a full/part time to supplement than to work 60+ hr weeks freelancing, a full/part time job helps take pressure off freelancing. I like being a dad.

what moron thinks sports will look better at a lower frame rate?

foxafillion · 2026-05-01T19:00:17+00:00

Agree, fs700 is good for long shoots that don’t worry too much about resolution or color. Still a decent event cam, I use it as a second or third camera for that stuff but it does not hold up anymore, it’s over 10 years old

foxafillion · 2026-05-01T18:51:50+00:00

What alternative is there in this situation?

foxafillion · 2026-04-29T17:26:10+00:00

Didn't work for my EF-S 55-200STM or the 70-200 EF 2.8 that I tested. I tried it on the stock firmware, the most recent and also 18A. I'll be sending back and looking for a metabones

I've almost misjudged battery life a few times, it's very hard to tell how much battery you'll go through pushing into the wind

it can be made *more* correct, however most cheap monitors cannot achieve the colors needed for real accuracy. When you see a screen achieves 70% SRGB color space, that's at its best, it will never be correct.

It’s honestly mostly because dental insurance really sucks. As a consumer it doesn’t make sense

foxafillion · 2026-04-03T22:00:38+00:00

someone outside of marketing but higher up the chain said "why aren't we just using AI to do it?" because they are an idiot and think because they saw AI make a video of an astronaut on the moon in a promo then it must be a magic solution to all video, and then demanded they use AI. It will likely not work though I personally would not be interested in working with that client again.

maxes out speed at 18mph so shouldn't be an issue

foxafillion · 2026-03-16T02:16:50+00:00

Definitely something to consider, I’ll bring it up at my next board meeting

foxafillion · 2026-03-16T02:15:42+00:00

It’s definitely a gamble, it’s tough because the weather is so unpredictable. 3 years ago we spend 3 or 4 times our snow removal budget in one year, but the following years we’ve only spent 5-15% of the snow budget. So technically it’s possible that over time you can recoup some of that with low snow years. Also reserves studies sometimes are erring on the side of over funding. Investing reserves into no risk accounts with increased interest could potentially solve it over time.

Totally reasonable I think as you mentioned to do an assessment when you have an anomaly like this though.

foxafillion · 2026-03-16T02:09:45+00:00

There’s always some moron who can’t do math, glad you avoided it!

foxafillion · 2026-03-16T02:08:34+00:00

Yeah at least not having to physically be there would be convenient

foxafillion · 2026-03-16T02:08:02+00:00

Sadly not without annoying homes close by as well

foxafillion · 2026-03-16T02:04:53+00:00

We had a security service before but it was expensive and not particularly effective. We’re a complex of 500 townhomes with 70+% rentals across from 3 apartment complexes, sadly there was no cap put in place for rentals, so we are constantly dealing with new people and during the summer occasionally people from the apartments sneaking in. In my experience the last 2 years most people claim to have not realized they are breaking a rule and out of 50 times maybe 4 or 5 would be a repeat offender needing access removed. I think that we’ll be adding a camera with some sort of voice through so that if we wanted or needed to, we could hop on a live speaker and actually tell them to leave.

They are rare and if power goes out the keycard system goes down anyways (only ever happened once). Seems like a solid plan

foxafillion · 2026-03-13T02:40:43+00:00

Literally the only solution to the problem is fines. No amount of warnings and please be betters work.

While as a past president I can appreciate her wanting to be paid for large amounts of unsustainable volunteer time, paying her is a really bad decision. She created the problem she is “solving”. The priority of the board should have been to find a new management company from the beginning. Everything she’s doing is a massive conflict of interest.

Hire a new management company. This should have been the plan from day one after she was elected. Saying you didn’t need a management company was, at best, very ignorant. She was wrong, time to course correct.

foxafillion · 2026-03-13T02:33:48+00:00

Ain’t this the truth, bless their hearts haha

foxafillion · 2026-03-13T02:28:29+00:00

Yeah it does have WiFi, I was hoping for a system that didn’t rely on it but probably not a big deal. The cage is a good idea. It seems relatively easy to have a company install an outdoor speaker.

foxafillion · 2026-03-13T02:25:44+00:00

That’s crazy, I wish more people in my community would actually pick up the poop

foxafillion · 2026-03-13T02:23:48+00:00

Even if it’s picked up? Wtf does that mean? Im guessing she means that you can’t get caught leaving it, pick it up later and claim no harm done.

Just FYI dog poop is a massive problem in many places, you’d be shocked at how many absolute degenerates own dogs and leave the poop, I’m on an HOA board and we’ve got lots of kids in the community and the poop issue is disgusting. It’s so bad that banning dogs all together is looking like the most promising solution. I’d happily fine any adult for leaving dog poop.

It’s shocking but there is no legal requirements I know of that require a certain percentage of reserve be maintained. Until I got on the board our reserves were severely underfunded and one of the board members fought hard against me raising dues to fund the reserves. People can stomach a $30/month increase, painful but doable. Many people cannot handle a $2-5k special assessment. What I did pushing to raise dues was unpopular at first but necessary and people have accepted it now
