I hope tab groups gets worked on soon 🤞🏼

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.

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