Have it recorded on my keyboard but apparently Macbook Airs no longer have aux-in capabilities and I will need to either get a dongle or move my keyboard over to my desktop which is annoying. Project for another day.
I'll try to upload anything I have so far when I can play around with the recording setup. It's fairly short at the moment and not sure where I may want to take the song into a longer direction or keep it as-is. Either way it has inspired me to get back into the improvisational mood on the piano!

Comment on Way past its prime: how did Amazon get so rubbish? in ~tech

While we would like to go other routes to support company products that we like, sometimes Amazon's prices/return policies are just the best option around, or in some cases, they just don't sell them anywhere else.
I will say if you don't know what you're looking for, a lot of cheaply made garbage can absolutely flood the store in a hurry, but if you have a specific product/brand in mind that you want, it's still a perfectly fine place to shop.

From what I can tell, this seems to be a "I believe we are close, I want to win in Edmonton, but if we don't get it done in the next 2 years I'm going to the open market to chase my cup".

It's like if you had 2 employees at a company, 1 is stealing people's lunches out of the fridge, the other is stealing hundreds of thousands of embezzled money. Yeah, both employees suck, but there is an insane degree of difference between the two. It's completely disingenuous to hand waive it off.
I'm so tired of the two party system, feels like no one actually represents me but I'm forced to pick a side because the other side is so cartoonishly evil.

Kimmel has numerous times already denounced what happened, said it's a tragedy, and can't fathom how anyone is celebrating this event.
This request is just asinine and political posturing.

I never really got the impression that it would work in a movie format. I can't tell from the trailer what the story is even supposed to be other than them traveling around causing mischief.

No idea if this is still the case, but the best description I've seen of my experience is a "high-security labyrinth of a shopping mall that happens to have planes at it".
It was seriously the worst experience I've ever had. After going through security, it took us like 30 minutes just to get through to the main terminal area. In order to get there, you were funneled, shoulder to shoulder, through an elaborate maze of shopping stores. Most airports are usually long corridors with the shopping stores on the sides, but no. This one we were literally funneled through the stores. Once we got to the main terminal, they wouldn't tell us what gate our plane would be at until 45 minutes before take off, and boarding would end like 30 minutes before takeoff. So we basically had 15 minutes to figure out where our flight was and scramble across the airport to get there again.
0/10 would not recommend. Hopefully it's not as bad these days.

I've known so many instances where people have done something in extremely poor taste not realizing the obvious way it could be interpreted.
That said, for the last decade plus, it has seemed that pretty much everything from the right has been done with extreme malice, it's becoming hard to give actions the benefit of the doubt anymore.

Those with means can make the switch, those without are stuck with higher prices just to get to their jobs. Reality is we would need some sort of support/trade in program alongside massively cheaper electric cars.
What I want to know is, when did it become the norm for cellphones to be usable during school? When I grew up most people had cell phones, but you were not allowed to have it on in class. Even as a teen, I understood that it was rude to be distracted on your phone while someone is trying to talk to you and teach you something.
Seems like a no-brainer that cell phones should not be allowed during the school day except in cases of emergency, and I've never understood how, when, or why that changed.
