Interested in learning any languages?

I know Python well, but I could build basic things with C++ and Fortran. I use bash a lot too. I know the basics of html and css if those count. And I barely remember some stuff from Matlab

Definitely most furniture (i.e., without cushions so you avoid bed bugs). New furniture is incredibly expensive and (seems to be) lower quality. Second hand furniture can still be expensive but it's usually heavily discounted, especially if someone is trying to get rid of it quickly.

Local thrift shops are a good option of course, but also try garage/yard sales, Craigslist, OfferUp, etc. If your area has estate sales you can find some pretty killer deals on good furniture there too.

I like finding playlists that people on Spotify have made roughly around a particular band or genre. I find one and hit shuffle and see what happens. I'm talking an actual user made playlist, not the garbage Spotify "made for you" playlists. Those used to be solid until they started stuffing them with 90% songs I already listen to.

Sometimes playing the last song on an album that I like or one of my playlists gets some good stuff out of Spotify's algorithm, but that is kind of hit or miss. It used to be quite a bit better.

I have been meaning to remove Marilyn Manson from my playlists and just now did. Thanks for the reminder

Chevelle - I Get It

Job for a Cowboy - The Forever Rot - technical death metal/progressive metal

Lacuna Coil - Delirium - gothic metal with a mix of clean/harsh female/male vocals

Decapitated - Veins - technical death metal

VOLA - Head Mounted Sideways - progressive metal with a mix of clean and harsh vocals

Caligula's Horse - Slow Violence - progressive metal with mostly clean vocals

Skyharbor - Miracle - progressive metal with clean vocals

Baroness - Shine - progressive metal with mostly clean vocals and mix of male/female

I want to like Darko US cuz their stuff has a really cool sound, but I just can't get through even one song by them most of the time. It's just so incredibly aggressive and heavily engineered that it's difficult to listen to imo

Twelve Foot Ninja is fantastic. A little bit funky and weird, but still heavy, and some very positive vibes

I clean the kitchen pretty thoroughly once per week after meal prepping. By thoroughly I mean do the dishes, wipe down the stovetop and counters, clean the sink with dish soap and a sponge, then sweep and mop. During the week I try to clean up small spills and such as I go and load the dishwasher after meals.

For the bathroom, I usually do once per month. Clean the counter, mirror, toilet top to bottom, and shower top to bottom. Sweep and mop.

Living spaces and bedroom I sweep/mop/vacuum once per month and clean tables as needed.

I hardly dust or clean windows. I maybe do that a couple times per year or if it's particularly filthy.

The general idea for me is to clean regularly and as needed so that nothing is really nasty at any given time. Anything else gets done roughly once per year or on move out.

Happy Monday everyone! IWNDWYT!
