I got a lot of help from HUD and FHA when I bought my house. I couldn't have afforded to buy and renovate my home when I did without that program, which is only for first-time buyers. The program also helps housing supply by renovating unfit older buildings into usable housing stock.

So, at least in the US in general and Chicago specifically, gov't is doing things to help first-time buyers.

Twenty, even fifteen years ago I would've said Windows Notepad / vim. Now I rarely use basic text editors.

I don't think there's any technology that can never be superseded.

Why is Madeline from Gilmore Girls on here?

Are you going to say why, or is this just a plot to drive traffic to a video?

When I feel bad, I clean. If I'm going to feel like crap anyway, might as well get some use out of it.

I've had chronic intermittent tinnitus my whole life, can't really say it helps me concentrate when it's flaring up.

Edit: I went looking for samples of pink and brown noise, and the brown sample I found claims to help relieve tinnitus. Since my flare-ups are sometimes accompanied by headaches or vertigo, I'll check it out and see if it helps me at all.

 

Now I tell Yo-Yo Ma jokes, which are much classier.

 

Often I end up closing the list and immediately turning to self-soothing. And because there's no way to know in advance if a task on the list will give me anxiety, this often results in my list being not just unusable but unreadable, preventing me from doing or even remembering the non-anxiety tasks on the same list.

 

If you're like me, you might have grown up reading these kind of jokes in the back of Boys Life magazine.

There was a thriving Tom Swifty community on reddit, and as one of its most frequent submitters I took it on myself to recreate it here, and invite over the other most prolific submitters. At least one has already joined, why don't you come join us, too?
