<p>Look and feel of the house, paint, Pool Management, Park (if the community has one, and not the city managed one) Management, Yard Management (Trees, Plants, Mopping, Trimming), Trash (overflow vs contained, when to put trash out, when to take your trash can back, to keep it out of sight from street view and such) Regulations on whether a house can be given to AirBnb and such, Single Family staying vs multiple family, cars that can be parked on the road and you can ask Chatgpt for more if you want.<p>Overall, with America being a capitalist country (and Florida state being the best example of it), they want people to keep spending their money on something, and would never allow someone to just 'settle' and live a life without spending money. HOA, among other things property taxes and other city imposed taxes you are never "resting in peace" after retirement, but wait for your next notice to come - either from City or HOA.</p>

<p>I used to listen/watch some youtube channels for learning. Especially as a newbie, I used to listen to the channel - Programming with Mosh (5M+ subscribers). I see that he has stopped producing videos regularly. Last one year, he produced only 3 videos. There could be other reasons. But I suspect lack of interest from viewers because of AI.</p>

<p>My hunch.
The plastic fingers pointing up will reduce splash when our urine hits them first time, but if the bottom of the urinal is flat, the plastic will stick to it causing the urine flow to be slow, and due to capillary action, the urine rises above the fingers and causes splash again a few seconds into our urine passing.<p>If the fingers are pointed downward, the urine seeping through the downward fingers can flow freely to the outlet, and causes less splash with the urine rising through capillary action. The holes on the plastic layer will anyway avoid the urine splashing when we point our pipe against it.</p>

<p>My above comment wasn't aimed at you. Thanks for the response though! What you did is phenomenal, and I wasn't taking a dig at you in any way.<p>What I intended in my comment was that, may be starting from scratch (like you did many months before, and what PaulG suggested recently) is the way to go for future job prospects and startups. Most of the comments in the thread I posted was negative for PaulG saying that.</p>

<p>In my country, 30-40 years back, people who needed a watch were those ones who travel regularly. And travel was mostly using public transport, trains and planes. Most or all of it operated using a 24h time. That button was very useful. 
Compare that to the mute/silence/DND physical  button in iPhones today.<p>Also people who worked in confined spaces who wouldn’t know if it was day or night outside after a days job. My father who worked in an oil rig in Abu Dhabi used one. He gifted me one.<p>This was 1998.</p>

<p>I am not the one who posted before. But try this to maximize LinkedIn.<p>Consciously, "Like" job posts. That is, in the feed section of linkedin, "like" any type of jobs that you see others post. Linkedin will show you more job posts in your feed, which others post. You "like" that too. Then it will show more job postings. Keep liking that too from your feed. But don't like or view or read any other posts while you do this. Not even your friends/partner's posts.<p>Do this at least 3-4 times a day, with 5-10 likes in each batch.<p>In a week's time, Linkedin will flood your feed with job posts from actual users. Now you become selective and like only design/web developer posts that your skills align with. Then it will bring more of it and you might be able to find something.<p>There are two things that happens. Recruiters/hiring managers see that you liked their post, so they check your profile. Keep it updated. Your profile visits will also go up. Linkedin sees that your profile is viewed by more recruiters, and your profile will be shown above other profiles when recruiters search using their tool.<p>I hope you get a job soon, and you can thank me later!</p>

<p>Anyone with internet connection, a phone/laptop, and a few dollars to spare can create anything. Earlier it was not like this.<p>All of a sudden, your competition is anyone from anywhere in the world. Yes, to really make a million dollars, you need more than making the software. Even if you end up making a million dollars, you have 1000s of copy-cats from all parts of the world stealing your pie in no time. An average Joe will have tough time knowing which one is good and which ones to avoid.</p>

<p>This what I do. I learnt this from one of the HackerNews comments months ago.<p>Tip the person if they do a direct service to you, which may involve touching your body. Barbers, massage therapists (all kinds, you know!), Facials, nails  etc.<p>Also (as per another comment in this thread), no tip if we pay before we use the service (or food).<p>If it isn't any of the above, say "Thank you, I enjoyed your great service. But at this time, I don't have money to spare. How do I get past this screen?"</p>

<p>I had a strong feeling that I was developing tinnitus after my my usage of Apple's airpods[1] for meetings, video calls (personal and Official) and such, especially after years of Work From Home. I used to get puss from my ears, and sometimes that tweet/humming sound after a long day's use.<p>Later I switched to Bone Conduction headphones. I felt like BC Headphones has improved my condition a lot. No ear pain or puss or the humming noise. I hope it stays that way!<p>[1] - <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35023808">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35023808</a></p>

<p>"We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.”
-- Mahatma Gandhi<p>Also, attributed to him - "Be the change you wish to see in the world"</p>

<p>> Why do they delete a commit and push a new one every few hours?<p>May be to make it appear on the top of the "Last Updated" repositories in case someone searches for the repo or a keyword. So instead of the author's actual repo, the users endup cloning the trojan infected one.</p>
