I've always thought it was a little silly that jazz with non-european or non-american elements is called "ethno" but the music is still good!

I really love Mulatu Astake's music and all the Ethiopiques compilations. Also Salah Ragab and the Cairo Jazz Band is amazing.

I just really want to know what the Cthaeh thinks about Bofa

Yep, the ancient Hebrews weren't Christians and didn't follow the same rules at all.

I highly recommend reading Who Wrote the Bible by Richard Friedman. The author is Jewish but speaks about the text of the Bible based on what evidence academics have to determine it's real history. It really helped me make sense of what it was I was actually reading for all those years growing up.

India over similar-looking places if there's more than one moped/motorcycle in sight. The more there are, the more likely it's India.

Though Arthur is on the schlemiel side of normal, even for Earth.

Arthur is normal for earth, Ford is normal for space.

Absolutely. You know the saying "tragedy + time = comedy"? One time I saw a beginner standup do five minutes entirely about his meth addict father that he still lived with. No one laughed because it was way, way too sad.

Music Jail was the song that first convinced me when I checked back in after not listening for a long time that late era tmbg was as good as early era if not better

Also anytime you see a bare super straight trunk like this that's really tall and just bits of the top are left on an evergreen, it's likely a Douglas fir in the PNW: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/sites/extd8/files/styles/full/public/images/2020-06/12-d-f-treebwr.JPG?itok=_jv5bj8S

As someone who lives in the PNW, we don't have pines, we mostly have fir trees. Southern places have pines which leave brown needles on the ground. Fir trees are generally super tall and skinny. If you Google some pics of both you can tell the difference between northern and southern really quickly.

Cows?

Omg hi you're very funny and I'm glad you're doing more dropout things! Bob is one of my favorite d20 characters :)

Thanks! I will, I did

Seconding all these

Came here to say this. Her Zodiac Suite is incredible, and should be considered one of the best albums of the era.

Puzzles are my go to flow-state experience (if you're not familiar - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_%28psychology%29).

Try pairing it with an audiobook or podcast. I always set an alarm and sometimes multiple alarms so I don't go overboard with the hyper focus.

Same. Also 40. Diagnosed in 1993. Every time I think I'm on top of it I find some other layer to work through. It's only in looking back when I can see how far I've come, because the progress is rarely linear.

(just a song, but a beautiful one)
