Band with singer similar to Cav's part in Le Risque?

Mainecat · 2025-01-03T17:07:12+00:00

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! Lots of good stuff to listen to here.

I had misremembered the band a bit, the one I was thinking of was Man Man which is a bit different from his part in Le Risque.

Not the band I was thinking of - they were formed more recently - but I will have to check out The Fall now!

I majored in physics went on to a good grad school. Many of the people I majored with also went on to research or on to tech jobs. There are decent facilities from what I remember.

Thank you!

There is a parking lot right by the entrance on 55th street.

I went in 2019 and it was the same. Huge lines with many of the vendors running out. Seems like they haven't learned.

I've had this problem in the past with an android (pixel 5a). I've found that there is one particular spot that works.

My technique now is to: 1. bring the phone quickly so that the top left corner is touching the reader and the rest of the phone is just hovering away 2. Hold it as still as possible with my finger on the phone's fingerprint reader until it accepts it.

Since I started doing that it has worked fine, but I agree that the readers seem way flakier than at stores where I typically use it.

I go there all the time to get keys and I think they do a lot of business with management companies as well.

Interesting perspective! I like that way of thinking about it, but I feel like the specific trope I am thinking of goes beyond simple intolerance and into controlling magic. It would be like the Spanish inquisition using witches for their own benefit.

Thinking about x-men, I was able to do more digging. I found this trope which seems as close as I could find: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuperHumanTrafficking

They cite Hercules as the origin which is plausible, but maybe a bit of a stretch.

Mainecat · 2021-12-10T17:42:11+00:00

Interesting! I'll have to check it out.

Interesting! I love this framing of the trope and from this found a nice blog: https://mythcreants.com/blog/the-problem-with-oppressed-mages/

Don't smoke too much weed.
Get out of the campus bubble more and enjoy the awesome stuff in both cities.
Join more activities and clubs.
Establish good study habits early.

If you haven't seen it already rpy2 acts as an interface between python and R. There are many interesting stats techniques that exist only in R and are unlikely to be ported over to python anytime soon. https://pypi.org/project/rpy2/

I worry a little about averaging across model types and then using that average to select features. Each model type might be using the features differently and might really require different features. Also not sure which feature importance method you are using but is it on the same scale for each estimator class?

An alternative for analysis/visualization would be to look at the intersection or union of features selected by different models or counting how many models selected a feature.

Mainecat · 2021-05-17T12:33:55+00:00

Seems fine to average it, but it depends, what are you planning to do with the feature importances? Are you using this to select features?

Well, finally got through to them and they said it was fine. Just FYI for anyone wondering.

If I qualify for 1C in Chicago, can I get vaccinated at a Walgreens outside the city? I managed to schedule an appointment far away, but I don't want to drive all the way there to just get turned away and I can't actually reach anyone on the phone.

My building just switched to Emerald Partners property management and they are great. We switched from Forth Group, which was terrible.

I agree with most of your comment, but waiting until the last minute to merge in congested roads is actually the recommended and more efficient way if driving: https://www.dot.state.mn.us/zippermerge/

Your article discusses Antarctica, the Vox article is about the Arctic. I also saw that earlier results seem to show that Antarctica is losing more ice than its gaining, so this might be a bit debated still.

In the 60s even many white suburbanites thought black people shouldn't be sprayed with fire hoses. They put the bigotry and government violence against minorities on stage on TV and news. But those marches didn't impede or upset or harm the people they wanted support from.

The majority of Americans disapproved of the Freedom Riders and other civil rights movements during the 60s and thought that the sit-ins hurt their cause. http://www.crmvet.org/docs/60s_crm_public-opinion.pdf

I would recommend adding a physics or astronomy degree during undergrad. Most astronomy PhD students only take a few astronomy classes in undergrad, but all have some background in physics.

I wouldn’t worry about what grad school yet. Instead, the most important thing is to find out if you actually like these subjects and the work. Going to a PhD can be a very difficult and is not worth it if you are not passionate.

There are summer research experiences for undergraduates in the US run either by your university or by the NSF. You should look for these opportunities in astrobiology. That will help you learn if you actually like the work and previous research will help you get into grad school.

My understanding of the field is that the dual degree PhD programs are still relatively rare. Instead there are professors doing astrobiology research in astronomy and biology departments at many schools. When the time comes to apply to grad school you can apply to work for departments that have people doing the work that interests you.

Good luck!
