it doesn't, ctrl-z only suspends process and switches to backgroud - the thing is still alive try ctrl-z and then type bg command - you will see a list, you can resume with fg [number]

Ctrl-z by itself doesn't actually switch the process to run in the background, it stops the process. Running 'bg' is what starts the process back up running in the background, 'fg', like you said, resumes the process in the foreground and 'jobs' is the command you can run to see a list of processes that are running.

This is probably a stupid question, didn't know about bg and fg before. But after playing around with it, it feels pretty amazing, why even use screen/tmux when you have these?

Twitch creates two state solution agreed to by Israel and Palestine.

Well, technically, replacing everything between the Ganges and Gibralter, and between the Congo and the Alps, with butterscotch pudding would be a solution.
