I tried Zen and while it was really nice looking it didn’t quite jive with me. One of my students suggested Floorp today, might mess around with it this weekend.

Well, we’ve got to cut rounds and split wood for the winter. Shut down is coming soon and if we don’t get it done in time then it’s at least September before we can run gas engines again. We have six trees that came down this winter and last so at least they’re at our level. I’ve got to finish up an outline, worksheet, and slides for a class I’m teaching on Monday, and I haven’t really started tbh. Then visit a friend for the last time in palliative care Sunday night. Just came from there, was good to see her if even for 5 mins. Somewhere in there I have to deal with my estranged dad and brother too. It’s been a hell of a week.

Tonight though, I’m putting comfy pants on and playing divinity 2 with my husband.

Vivaldi as my main browser and Librewolf as my second. I love the tab management and workspaces on Vivaldi, there’s nothing else like it that I’ve found. I use librewolf for all my docker local host needs. I actually really quite like it and would probably switch over but the workspace/tab thing keeps me on Vivaldi.

There’s some really great suggestions here, I’ll add a few as well. I’ll start with some newer stuff, will be piano and organ heavy, but that’s what my husband plays so we tend to listen to that a lot. You should use this as a good way to meet your neighbours! Pop over and ask what they’re playing. Enjoy exploring the world of jazz, its mighty fun :)

The Bad Plus

GoGo Penguin

Bill Laurance

EST (Esbjörn Svensson Trio)

Bill Frisell (more guitar, has a bit of bluegrass. Blues Dream is one of my all time favourite albums)

Billie Holiday (really can’t go wrong with anything from her)

Dave Brubeck- Take Five (classic album)

Kieth Jarrett- Koln Concert (another fav)

Etta James - At Last (her voice! Amazing!)

I’ll probably be back to add some more haha.

Edit - thanks for the rec with the Spotify link! Really liking that.

Edit 2 - my husband suggested Mark Farina - Mushroom Jazz, def more in the realm of beats.

This has been one of my favourites since I was a kid. And thank you to the other poster for the added science fact!

Eddie Vedder circa Ten. Sigh…

I don’t know how to explain it, but you can feel the difference. If it’s lost, you know it, but if you’ve misplaced it, it still feels nearby.

1 or 6 depending on the season. Flannel or heavier fabrics in the winter, lighter in the summer. My husband is 2 or 17. We both used to be 20, but then our daughter was born and it sucked having to put something on while you stumbled around in the middle of the night taking care of her, easier to have already done it.

My parents used to take me there as a kid for the all you can eat peel and eat shrimp. Holy fuck the amount of shrimp I could eat, baskets everywhere… I still love shrimp and prawns, more than crab even (I apologize to all my Maryland family).

We’re like family is a HUGE red flag for me. I had a boss use that as a selling feature to get me to work there. I had come from a place that really was like a family, a nice one, where we all really cared about each other. Turns out she meant it in the unpaid slave labour way. You can’t make a group of people a “family”, it has to grow that way Crystal. And not through pain and suffering!

I work at a school and that one gets used sometimes. A lady that helps us develop programming said it quite often and my colleagues picked it up, I don’t use it myself.
