[03:53] <pleia2> baseball \o/
[03:57] <nhaines> Yay?
[03:57] <ianorlin> well two southern California teams got eliminated
[03:57] <pleia2> hehe
[03:57] <pleia2> sorry
[03:57] <nhaines> Boo.  :P
[03:58] <pleia2> I learned that you can still *listen* to games on the AM radio for free
[03:58] <pleia2> other option was to go to a bar, which, no
[03:58] <nhaines> But noise!  Also alcohol.
[03:58] <nhaines> I just check Google Now for updates.
[03:59] <pleia2> that's what I did before, and listen to street noise :)
[03:59] <pleia2> during that 18 inning game a few days ago the street noise was great
[04:00] <pleia2> the radio is now having a commercial about bleeding gums
[04:00] <pleia2> nice
[04:00] <pleia2> (ew)
[04:01] <nhaines> If you don't talk to your children about bleeding gums, who will?
[04:01] <pleia2> the dentist?
[04:03] <nhaines> Of doom.
[04:04] <pleia2> redundant
[04:04] <nhaines> haha :)
[04:09] <pleia2> now I'm hearing prop 46 propaganda
[04:09] <DonkeyHotei> i haven't looked at my voter guide yet, no idea what that is
[04:10] <pleia2> oh gosh, I need to order my ballot
[04:10] <nhaines> Medical Malpractice lawsuit cap.
[04:10] <DonkeyHotei> eww
[04:11] <pleia2> there, done
[04:12] <DonkeyHotei> i'm "permanent vote by mail" and i kinda have to be since i'm a pollworker in the election
[04:12] <pleia2> I should probably do that, I don't remember the last time I was in town during an election
[04:12] <nhaines> I always voted on my break.  Often at the poll I worked at.
[04:12] <DonkeyHotei> nhaines: that's not allowed here
[04:13] <nhaines> In LA County you can cast your vote at any precinct in the county, but you can only vote in local ordinances in the same locality.
[04:14] <pleia2> the natives are getting restless
[04:14] <DonkeyHotei> but, last time i brought my sealed vote by mail envelope to the poll i worked at and had it counted there
[04:14] <nhaines> But since I often worked at my assigned precinct, it was often a short trip.
[04:15] <DonkeyHotei> i am assigned to my home precinct, i looked
[04:15] <nhaines> In LA County you can drop off a by-mail ballot at any precinct.
[04:15] <DonkeyHotei> as i was last time
[04:15] <nhaines> They don't open them, just collect and deliver them.
[04:15] <DonkeyHotei> same in SF
[04:16] <DonkeyHotei> the ballot in SF this time is 4 or 5 double sided pages, depending on the precinct
[04:19] <pleia2> oh brother
[04:19] <pleia2> I don't want to read about that much stuff
[04:19] <DonkeyHotei> even-numbered supervisorial districts vote for the board of supervisors, odd-numbered ones don't
[04:23] <pleia2> winnars!! \o/
[04:25] <DonkeyHotei> you're in district 6 iirc
[04:25] <pleia2> yep
[04:25] <DonkeyHotei> 7 for me
[04:25] <pleia2> longer ballot for me :(
[04:25] <DonkeyHotei> yes
[04:28] <DonkeyHotei> when that height limit thing went on the ballot, expected voter turnout was low enough to dictate that my entire precinct be vote by mail only, and i worked a different precinct still in district 7
[04:29] <DonkeyHotei> first voter that day was the outgoing supervisor
[04:30] <DonkeyHotei> in that precinct, i saw on the roster a lot of voters registered as members of the party of george wallace, very conservative neighborhood, and all the voters who ran into each other seemed to know each other
[04:32] <DonkeyHotei> republicans still outnumbered democrats as far as i could tell, and i saw some instances of households where the husband was a democrat and the wife was republican
[04:40] <OERIAS> the republicans are the real terrorist of this country
[04:40] <pleia2> oops, political talk
[04:40] <DonkeyHotei> you started it
[04:41] <pleia2> yeah, "oops" :)
[04:41] <DonkeyHotei> [Tue 2014-10-07 09:09:25 PM PDT] <pleia2> now I'm hearing prop 46 propaganda
[04:41] <pleia2> so the weather is nice this evening
[04:41] <DonkeyHotei> it's political weather!
[04:42] <pleia2> haha, no no
[04:42] <DonkeyHotei> I'm in sacto and it really is kinda nice now
[04:42] <pleia2> 60ish here
[04:43] <nhaines> Politically?
[04:43] <DonkeyHotei> i go back to sf tomorrow
[04:43] <pleia2> supposed to go up to 90 again this weekend :(
[04:43] <DonkeyHotei> nhaines: no, politics here is worse than sf
[04:55] <DonkeyHotei> …chat death…
[17:47] <pleia2> jyo: will you be at the Ubuntu Hour tonight? (I have books for release party)
[17:48] <MarkDude> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0uQBwFMfBk
[17:48] <darthrobot> Title: [2Pac - Gangsta Party (Official Video) HD1080p - YouTube]
[17:48] <MarkDude> Aint nothin' but a Gangsta Party :D
[17:51] <pleia2> the police only came to one of my ubuntu release parties
[22:50] <pleia2> elky: you guys coming out to the ubuntu hour tonight? I miss you <3
[22:50] <elky> pleia2: i had dental stuff done yesterday, not up to it sadly. i miss you too :)
[22:51] <pleia2> elky: that doesn't sound like fun, hope you feel better
[22:51] <elky> meanwhile, my boxes finally arrived :D
[22:51] <pleia2> \o/
[23:12] <bkerensa> pleia2: random but do you have window treatment? We got this Low E window treatment that tints the windows and it drastically reduced heat
[23:14] <pleia2> bkerensa: nope, it's against the HOA
[23:14] <bkerensa> LOL
[23:14] <bkerensa> wow
[23:14] <bkerensa> Never ever ever will I live in a place that has a HOA
[23:14] <pleia2> our windows can't be tinted and have to have white shades
[23:14] <bkerensa> :P
[23:15] <bkerensa> Hah
[23:15] <pleia2> it's a highrise, they all have them
[23:15] <bkerensa> white shades even?
[23:15] <bkerensa> because someone might notice a difference?
[23:15] <bkerensa> :P
[23:15] <pleia2> we're in a historic district, so HOA rules have to line up with that
[23:16] <bkerensa> ahh
[23:16] <akk> Wow, that's pretty severe.
[23:17] <akk> We have an HOA but it's a super low-key one.
[23:17] <akk> $25/year fee which goes toward food at the annual picnic. :)
[23:17] <pleia2> ours is like $650/mo
[23:17] <akk> Ouch!
[23:17] <pleia2> but, highrise :)
[23:18] <pleia2> there's a whole building to take care of, operating budget is over a million
[23:18] <akk> Seriously $650/mo? That's more than rent in a lot of places.
[23:18] <pleia2> sure is!
[23:18] <pleia2> rent in this building starts at around $2400/mo for a studio on a low floor :\
[23:18] <pleia2> ah san francisco
[23:19] <pleia2> no rent control here and we bought our place, so pay less than a renter would
[23:20] <pleia2> here == our building; lots of places in SF do have rent control
[23:24] <nhaines> TIL if I move to San Francisco my new home will be a refrigerator box.
[23:50] <bkerensa> akk: Thats over half my rent
[23:50] <bkerensa> craziness
[23:51] <bkerensa> pleia2: now would be a good time to sell even :) I hear hedge funds are concerned about dat tech bubble 2.0
[23:51] <bkerensa> if it pops... boy is SF housing values going to hurt
