I wonder if those 'dog boxes' are controlled by a Body Corp. If not, what's to stop you painting your house hot pink?

Eva888: ASB Ugly new Debit Card compared to the old ones.

It’s a plain flat yellow with name and details printed on the back. No silver embossed name and number like in most. It looks like a badly made fake. A 5 year old could have designed a better one.

That's deliberate, it prevents the card details from being stolen by copying the imprint - it also makes the card only usable electronically. The majority of cards these days are coming out with no embossing (though in some of my cards case, it's because they're made of titanium).

Bloody EFF OFF!!! 🤬

I'm sick of pop-ups begging me to sign up for their newsletter. I thought we'd gotten rid of pop-ups years ago, but here we are with newsletter begging still being shoved in my face in 2022. This one being particularly odious.

I didn't realise covenants could cover that sort of thing :( I guess covenants can be pretty wide ranging then?

My US cousin lived in a block where all walls and roofs were same colour with 3 colours of garage door. He used the door opener to ID his place.

Ah, yes, the Home Owner's Association (HOA). They control pretty much *everything* about how your house looks from the street. It stops someone from lowering the value of their neighbours' properties, at the expense of preventing any personalisation.

Some people love them for the former, some hate them for the latter.

Browser makers introduced popup blockers years ago, then stopped updating them. As far as I'm aware, no mainstream browser has a functional popup blocker for these modern "in-page" popups.

Inspired by Apple‘s „deep purple“ color.

I have a javascript switcher extension on my browser. Handy for killing popups.

We have a government building project in Rotorua where they are building 30 or so houses, all exactly the same in a small area . I just imagine someone coming home drunk one night and trying to find the right house. Good luck 😁

The ones I would like are the ones where you can only buy if they approve of you. That is a good way to stop the neighbourhood going downhill!

Imagine living in an area like that where every house is the same as the next. It'd be like being inside a pre-ERB (Ethical Review Board) era psychology experiment.
