I hope tab groups gets worked on soon 🤞🏼

Housing Providers should provide houses to the Unhoused.

I’m on the third book in the Wayfarer Series by Becky Chambers. It’s excellent 👌

Obama (or Illinois?) gave me 10k down payment in 2009 and I got a tiny townhome at 23 right after I got a job outta college. I stayed in it for 10 years and traded it in for a bigger house like a crab after I got married.

I was not money conscious at the time but my dad pretty much forced me to get a house if I had the means. I’m glad he did.

So I guess I was also gifted my down payment from my parents and other tax payers parents.

Western suburbs of Chicago, IL. Summer it’s 77-79f (25-26c). Winter it’s 65-69f (18.3-20.5c).

In summer we open the windows at night and let the cooler air in and when the sun comes in I close the windows and run a dehumidifier to quickly bring down the relative temp upstairs especially. Helps a bunch.

When our new kid comes I will have to def adjust these numbers much closer to 72f (22c).

I was talking to friends who live nearby and essentially keep it at 72f (22c) year round and almost never open their windows they were using like 1040kwh-1600kwh per month last month where we were using 309kwh or about 50 bucks a month. This was for July. I think we may be the weirdos and we will have to get more on their level with a newborn.

Other than the same memories you all have of being sick and watching during elementary school, when I was older my friend and I had off campus privilege in high school and we would go to her house quick where her grandma would make us sandwiches and we would watch him the price is right.

jokes on them i use an extension that removes the home page and any recommendations on the site.

I use jeroba and I would at least love the option to turn off infinite scroll

midwest.social is chill

Yep. Browser is also where you can play the beta patch when it’s going on and you can play as a guest.

i would use this but some of the channels i watch the most number their thumbnails and dont do clickbait like this. if i could pick and choose per channel somehow it would be more helpful to me. i do agree with the sentiment though!

“Money I got, time I don’t.”

My dad said this offhanded joking remark to me 30 years ago and it lives rent free in my head. It’s a privileged view point for sure but I took it to mean save and be prepared but don’t be frugal toa detriment. Spend on things you love and spend away on things you hate. Don’t waste time if you can afford not to.

not a lot of midwesterns i guess (im on midwest.social)

I hated using a dating app back in the day. I can’t imagine using it for fun or validation. At least okcupid had fun dumb quizzes.
