Do you struggle with anxiety in general? This sounds like a symptom of a bigger problem.

First step is cut out all drugs (yes even our beloved alcohol). As a depressant it might work in the short term, for the same reason long term it will make things worse.

Toastmasters is a good idea. Have you tried talking to a therapist?

Is pinball seeing a resurgence in popularity?

A friend of mine is internationally ranked, and he started out much like the author:

What if I built a wall cutting it in half and built a pinball room in the resulting new room

Their small apartment is now full of pinball machines, tools and parts

Most of these aren't widely used because they were quaint attempts at solving problems that no longer exist, could be better solved with CSS (as the author concedes with <small>), and very much depend on browser implementation.

I was excited when <details> and <summary> landed in all evergreen browsers for example, but just to get the content to slide open (guiding the user) instead of pop open requires JS (the best implementations I've seen use WAAPI), Safari adds a proprietary pseudo element, etc.

Commute from BK or Queens is still feasible, they are BIG boroughs so it differs on which part. Prices are lower but climbing, especially in neighborhoods very close to Manhattan.

Bronx still has a high crime rate; depends on where. Tremont and Highbridge are pretty rough. Lots of the Bronx is still as safe or safer than, say, East Harlem (in Manhattan).

Argue against me please: da Vinci's real Mona Lisa is not what's hanging in the Louvre; the original was never recovered. (This is one of my favorite conspiracies)

No, it changed ownership many times since 1999.

On July 5 2017, Musk repurchased the domain name X.com from PayPal

They even took a little jab at him when it happened

"We are delighted to sell the domain x.com back to its previous owner"

Freemium teaser?

I'd monetize this by adding features and hiding them behind MDN Pro+ (or w/e the subscription is called) in the future. Ala Codepen.

You didn't remove all the default styling added by all browsers? This site is styled differently depending on browser.

I suppose that means "you're trying to cover up your lack of interesting information"?
