In reading about the Orion (Kagi web browser) beta for Linux-based systems, I saw that there was an intentional design decision to go with GNOME/GTK over KDE because the latter would have lended towards a Chromium build.

What does a desktop framework have to do with the underlying browser engine? Waterfox and its ilk seem to work fine without the GTK-ness.

I had some dental work done this afternoon which requires my avoiding hot foods for 24 hours.

How about sushi and tempura ice cream?

Did a bit of kitchen cleaning this morning, reorganizing the refrigerator and spice cabinet.

I got rid of a lot of old spices, some with "best by" dates ranging in 2015-2018. Yikes, those were not worth keeping the cabinet cluttered for.

A favorite band from Europe is coming to NYC, and tickets are cheap, even for the meet-n-greet option.

...getting to and staying near NYC, is the exact opposite of cheap. Even on Hotwire. Yikes. Now I know why I haven't been in nearly a decade. (I have also looked at hotels directly, as sometimes they offer deals when going around the aggregators, but most certainly seeming to not be the case here.)

However, I suppose I should be allowed to treat myself once in a while.
