I just ordered my first springtime scent of the year.
  • I have really fallen for You Or Someone Like You! It has a note that almost exactly capturesmy recollection of freshly cut grass, which is a smell I love, so it puts a smile on my face every time I spray it 😀

    I just ordered my first springtime scent of the year.

    (M43)I've got quite a nice little collection of fall/winter scents because I really love leathers and tobacco.(M43)I've never really done a deep dive into freshies and springtime fragrances but last year I bought a couple of samples of Etat Libre D'orange You or someone like you and enjoyed it immensely. I also bought a full bottle of Fat Electrician, which has been my go-to fragrance this fall and winter so when I started thinking about buying a new full bottle for spring, You or someone like you was the obvious choice for me. So I just ordered it today. It should arrive in a couple of days. I'm at least as excited about getting this one as I was about Fat Electrician. Has anybody else ordered something recently that they're really excited about? Or have you started thinking about new scents for spring yet? I would also love to hear your opinion on You or someone like you if you're familiar with it 🤗

    Linux too mainstream for some 🤷
  • I had a friend about 25 years ago who was very much into Quake Arena. His gaming setup ran on BSD. Now that I've been gaming on Linux for several years, I've really come to appreciate how much work it must have been to get that setup running smoothly in the late 90s. He died a couple of years ago. I sometimes wish I could call him up and get some advice.

  • TIL Happy Holidays literally means Happy Holy Day
  • for some countries, they do Christmas Day on the 24th. Poland for instance tends to have the big family get together dinner on the 24th.

    It's the same in Denmark, I wonder if it's a Northern European thing? I think Poland is mostly Catholic whereas Denmark is Lutheran protestant, so it's not just denomination.

  • what is the correct way to use the word "backorder" in English?

    I know what the word means, but I'm unsure how to use it in a sentence. In my native language, Danish,"backorder" translates to "Restordre" and when something is unavailable, we say it's"i Restordre",which translates directly into English as "in backorder", but I'm not sure that's correct English. Do English people say that or just "backordered" or something else?

    Stop Smoking @lemmy.world MartinXYZ @sh.itjust.works

    I'm quitting again!

    I stopped smoking last year and shared some of my experiences in /r/stopsmoking, which was one of the few places on Reddit that actually helped me. I hope this place can grow large and active enough to help other people quit the stinky sticks.

    I started smoking again in March this year.

    But today I'm quitting again. it's 15.20 here and I haven't smoked yet today. I hope I can stay off the smokes for good this time, but I have a stressful elweek ahead of me, so I'm a bit worried I'm going to fail.

    Edit: I'm actually surprised how many people have replyed to my post, I guess this community has some lurkers even though there aren't many subscribers. Thank you for the positive thoughts, everybody! 🤗
