I've applied one coat of tru oil already. So little things in my mind, yes? Looking forward to that human skill which allows one to switch matters of daily life, and to be able to guide oneself to a goal one established for oneself, musical wise / academical wise /relationship wise
I get pregnant ladies on the phone everyday BTW. Are they smart? Is reproduction the means of all life? That is actually an old topic on pro-LGBT discussion tables, and for which I have my own opinion.
Actually, yesterday there was the story of a grandmother who adopted her 2 grandsons, because the mother left home and left them there.
So that's social stupidity I guess?
lately, the history of my life is full of attempts to correct my path to what's "right". If you'd actually cared about what I do and what I've lived you'd feel bad for what you've kept doing.
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do:
I'll be applying a first coat of tru-oil to the guitar neck, I'll be sanding and applying a black dye to the guitar body and I'll test a colored mix in a test wood before I do it on the guitar.
I'll be charging my cellphone to get some photo shots.
I asked my ex guitar teacher to post a recommendation for me on the Superprof.mx website. Instead, he passed my number to a student's mom. And I'll teach a logic class tomorrow.
(Unrelated: I payed for those guitar lessons).
slightly different, and ends up not fitting. No idea yet on how to modify it
Remember the chair my dad bought? It's too grey
you can treat me badly because it's you. :gnu:
Got to play with a ~10y old at the basketball field of my borrough; She asked me to play with her.
Teak Oil is a mixture of Linseed Oil + Tung Oil + Mineral Spirits.
If you want to make your own Teak Oil you can mix one part Linseed Oil, one part Polyurethane (Varnish), one part mineral spirits, 1:1:1. To Buy Teak Oil or to Make Teak Oil? Which is more expensive?
Does it really matter?
I'm in the process of coating my test wood once more using BOILED linseed oil. So far I'm not liking it. it made not much of an effect, but the carpenter did add a gasoline-based tint on top of my water-based Rit Dye, in case this collides. Finishes and tints must be selected appropriately for them to work good together.
The suggestion: You don't want a glossy finish for your neck, because it will be unsmooth when playing. But can be semi-gloss.
Everybody wanted to be Sporty Spice. So, saying "I'm sporty Spice" wasn't enough. Like, "If you can't be sporty Spice, you can't be sporty Spice".
Nowadays is similar.
I asked Gemini for suggestions on data science projects involving a collection of adresses from a country. The output:
1. Cluster Analysis & Regional Segmentation
Instead of just looking at where things are, you can use unsupervised learning to understand density and grouping. This is particularly useful for business site selection or sales territory mapping.
The Project: Use K-Means or DBSCAN clustering algorithms to group addresses into "logical" neighborhoods based on proximity.
The "Why": Standard zip codes or city boundaries are often arbitrary. Clustering helps you find the actual "center of gravity" for your data points.
Tools: Python (scikit-learn), GeoPandas for spatial joins.
2. Drive-Time & Accessibility Modeling (Isochrone Analysis)
Visual distance (as the crow flies) is rarely how the world actually works. A project focusing on reachability is much more impactful.
The Project: Calculate "Isochrones"—shapes that represent all points reachable within a certain time frame (e.g., 10, 15, or 20 minutes) from your addresses.
The "Why": You can identify "service deserts" or areas that are geographically close but logistically isolated due to traffic patterns or lack of infrastructure.
Tools: Mapbox Matrix API, OpenRouteService, or OSMnx in Python.
As a scientist artist, this would be the mexican art + science festival one should aspire to participate in: https://www.youtube.com/live/-nrprKAnM8I?si=aBjv1GwefWNlV_1n
It's like the Coachella of mexican academics.
What are your thoughts?
I had a wood tint laboratoy at a wood shop, and then my mom crossed the city to pick up the left-handed nuts, which at first I thought looked smaller than needed.
I'm stuck at my mom's house, starting work late, but then I won't be able to return home, and I have to work tomorrow and on sunday and next week. I've been feeling down, depressed and hopeless for the same reason.
I dreamt the most fantastic thing ever. By far, this was the best cognitive sense of 3D realism ever: big seas, giantic creatures arrising from the seas into flying, battling other giantic creature and then transforming into one red and one blue medusa when returning to sea grounds and dissolving while swimming in the depths while still fighting. And my ability to see everything in the surface and underneath the waters. Each creature was appearing sequentially and each of them was even bigger than the previous one.
It all started as a university course in "art and math" being imparted by a famous professor in the Faculty of Science, and we were all gathered in a beach for our first lesson. The spectacle began at the beach, having that perspective, while I was still debating myself if I should have chosen the other "art and math" course that was happening at the same hour. But I had chosen this course because the other teacher from the other course knew me from years ago, and I was feeling I should have more recognition in the "art + math" background by now.
71 year old lady applies for an insurance and now needs to do an interview. The memory part is "very important". Lady has to repeat 10 words and make a sentence each time. Then there's a repetition of the "say 10 words and make a sentence each time; the sentences can be the same as before or different." Then lady has to remember the 10 words and say them back.
- Interpreter, you can not repeat the words. And let me know if lady is indeed repeating the word and saying a sentence.
There's a category test nest: "I'll name a category. In the span of 30 seconds you have to name as many items in the category as you can."
- Interpreter. I want you to keep track of the items, then count them, and say the number to me.
2nd part:
I'll say a sentence, and you have to repeat it exactly.
- Interpeter, let me know if the sentence was repeated exactly.
I'd like you to tell me if you can hear this tapping I'm making on my phone.
- Yes
- Ok. I now want you to tap.
- Say Hi, tap twice. And say hi again.
I've tried so hard in fixing my back pain, and it's definitely better (after 2 days), but not completely gone. This included changing my sleeping position to being less on my side, and stretching, and biking of course.
Although I have a basketball ball, I haven't found the time.
Udemy is offering me a "Full stack generative and Agentic AI with python" course.
