  • Yup my husband likes Tyler Childers too, but I don't care for him. I don't think I've heard of Jason Isbell.

    But to each their own! I love pop music from the '60s and my husband's not nuts about it. Like Sly and the Family Stone say, different strokes for different folks. :)

  • Define low quantity. Fruit contains sugars, which can be bad if you have too much, but I find it's hard to eat enough fruit to push my sugar intake above my daily limit. And fruit is generally a good source of important micronutrients like fiber, potassium, B vitamins, etc.

  • Country music. That twangy sound is super grating to me, I hate the way certain vowels get stretched out, plus I have no cultural touchpoints with it on either a lyrical or musical level. The stuff that seems most popular is the most obnoxious to me. I'm told this is "the Nashville sound". Different strokes for different folks, but I sincerely don't get the appeal of it.

    But there's some country-adjacent music that can be alright. E.g., my husband got really into Sturgill Simpson and I ended up more or less liking his Sound and Fury album, even if some of the vocals do have that irritating twang. I guess I'd consider that more like country-infused rock.

    And I guess some older country can be OK once in a while - e.g., Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton.

    Help me find a fragrance?

    Hi friends! I'm looking to buy a fragrance and am hoping you guys might have some suggestions.

    I want something that screams "peach" without being powdery or overly floral. I'm hoping for something gourmand/lactic (but not overly sweet!), fruity, or lightly floral (wearable in the daytime), or to go in another direction completely, something peach with spice, an evening scent sort of like Angel Share Paradis by Kilian (but peach instead of raspberry).

    I'm more interested in perfumes, less interested in body sprays, but will give anything a shot.

    Things I've already tried include Phlur's Apricot Privée, Phlur's Peach Skin, and Ellis Brooklyn's Peaches. Out of these, I like Peaches the most, but it's kind of a simple scent. I'd like something a little more complex. I had high hopes for Peach Skin but the sandalwood is really overwhelming (it smells so powdery!). And Apricot Privée is more complex but also smells very powdery and although it's spicy, I feel like it's an old-fashio

    I got my first pull-up!

    I don't know where else to share this, but I'm so proud of myself so I've gotta post it somewhere. I've finally got my first unassisted pull-up! It wasn't a goal I was working super hard toward, but I've noticed a lot of new muscle definition in my back, probably because I do a lot of rows, especially bird-dog rows and renegade rows. So I tried a pull-up and I was able to do one pretty easily! Not bad for a middle-aged lady! Now I've got a goal to do three. :)

    How to get rid of red status bar message?

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 and I just got the new OneUI update. Now when I watch media in Jerboa there's an annoying scrolling notification that appears:

    How do I get rid of this?

    Also how do I get rid of whatever this is in my edge tray?

    Thanks in advance!

    Edit: I figured out the first one, search settings for the Now Bar and disable whatever you don't want to see

    Any advice about starting tretinoin?

    Hey friends. I've recently realized that what I thought were freckles is actually melasma, and my dermatologist has prescribed me tretinoin for it. I have very pale skin, generally normal in the winter and a little oilier in the T-zone during the summer, but it can dry out really badly with things like AHA. From what I've heard, tret is pretty drying. My dermatologist recommended that I start with applying it only two nights a week, and using a pea-sized amount mixed into my moisturizer. I use the Tatcha Water Cream moisturizer, which is pretty light and has been great for me, but with tret I'm wondering if I'll need a heavier moisturizer. I'm also worried that my usual double-cleansing will worsen the dryness from tret. I double-cleanse with an oil balm to remove my mineral sunblock, then with the Tatcha Rice Wash to get rid of the sunblock & oil balm residue. But I'm thinking the rice wash might be irritating because it's got a (mild) physical exfoliant, so maybe I need to find somet

    Are gifs broken?

    Since the last release, I find that gifs won't play in Jerboa anymore. For example, this comment just appears as a static image for me, even when I click on it. Do you see the same behavior?

    Edit: solved by user merde alors:

    did you enable "auto play GIFs" in settings>look&feel ?

    Then close and reopen the app and that should fix it.

    Update on my favorite lady 💚

    A few weeks ago I posted that my greyhound Greta was in the hospital, and so many of you left such nice comments and well wishes - thank you! She's been back home for a couple weeks now and is doing great.

    Here she is with her latest bandage (featuring a G💚 decoration because my vet's office is the best!):

    Decrease swipe sensitivity, and add vote coloration?

    Jerboa devs, thank you so much for the latest updates - I'm really digging the swipe-to-vote functionality! I do find that it's a little too sensitive and registers votes when I'm simply trying to scroll up or down in my feed or a comments section. I guess I don't always scroll in a perfectly vertical path. Would it be possible to decrease the sensitivity for the swipe-to-vote - maybe requiring a greater deviation from the vertical before a vote registers?

    Another really helpful feature would be to add vote indicators to the right of comments - the entire rightmost edge of the comment could have a color matching the vote I gave it, or no color if I haven't voted. Often if I'm reading a long comment I upvote it halfway through, then by the end of the comment I can't remember if I've voted so I have to either long-press or scroll back up to find out. Color indicators in the margin would be helpful!

    Help me get glass skin in my forties!

    I've always had pretty nice, low-maintenance skin but now that I'm in my forties I find it needs extra attention. One thing I'd really like to improve is getting the glassy look. It seems like most women who achieve this are pretty young and/or on tret. I don't want to try tret because I'm very pale and already sun-sensitive. (At this point I've lost count of how many atypical things my dermatologist has lopped off, despite religiously using mineral sunscreen!)

    My current skincare routine is here. It's definitely made a difference for me but I'm looking to refine it.

    What can I tweak to get glass skin? Or is it even possible at my age without tret?
