Comment on What are your experiences with condo ownership? in ~life

Are you capable of keeping up with the maintenance on a house? That's a definite no for me - I'm just too lazy. The condo has been a great choice.
Condos are as different from one another as houses. I wouldn't buy into a place with upstairs neighbors without concrete ceilings. You can still hear people with that kind of construction, but the room won't shake from people walking around, like stick built apartments I've lived in. If the room isn't shaking, fans and earplugs are effective enough for sleep. For my own noise, I listen to everything with wireless noise cancelling headphones. I like it that way. Noise isolation between units will be really difficult to assess before you've lived there. When I toured my place, both it and the unit next door were for sale. If I had really been thinking, I could have brought a bluetooth speaker and tested hearing it through the walls.
But, all those statements about noise should be things you already know if you've lived in a shared building before. I don't think I'd jump straight into buying a condo if I didn't have experience with that.
Condo HOA costs only go up. Can you afford whatever it is, plus 5% every year, forever? Look at the history of increases, plus any special assessments that have ever been levied. Every shared amenity is something that can break. What are you actually responsible for in regards to your unit? My HVAC is on the roof, but it's mine. Replacing it required a crane rental. Some places will share one between multiple units.

Comment on I'm trying to find "mild" horror movies, any suggestions? in ~movies
CokeCola LinkApril Fool's Day (1986) is fundamentally a cheap 80s slasher, but it has very little gore. It's not scary at all, but it's fun. It's also one of the best acted movies from the genre.April Fool's Day (1986) is fundamentally a cheap 80s slasher, but it has very little gore. It's not scary at all, but it's fun.

Really lost me at the polynomial section. The pictures for forward and backward are the same, right?
Anyway, if you're tying your shoelaces "wrong" and want to fix it, you don't have to reverse the loop, as he explained - that would be hard. Just reverse the first part: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/grannyknot.htm
