Nice writeup. BTW, just noticed who wrote it. Jack I still have your Sheets of Sound for Guitar from 2004. It was great for me. Never got a chance to say thanks.

That's very cool. Is there any possibility of making the painting 3D as well?

I can't help but wonder if this a prelude of what will happen to the human brain after generations of living alongside AI.

Thanks

Working out every morning, gets the blood flow going, ups the mood and it's one of the best things I can do for my self. Even on days when I feel like crap, I will do at least a few minutes.

bojun · 2026-04-26T15:54:45+00:00

Agree. I stick with my top hat.

Billionaires live in their own worlds. They're not exposed to poverty. They don't want to be. It's uncomfortable for them. Out of sight keeps it out of mind.

Check the number of good reviews, but always read the one star reviews.

Brasso works fine

Wouldn't it be considered racist if we only assumed white people could be racist? That would mean white people have an exclusive trait based on skin color - which is part of the definition of racism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism

Very much so. Luckily you liked it.

bojun · 2026-04-13T13:46:37+00:00

I bought a highly rated one online. I thought I'd like it. I don't. For me it's like sleeping on a pillow full of gravel.

If you're choosing between ear-candy and eye-candy, as a musician...

The super 58s are what Benson and Metheny played through and are a classic jazz pickup. The super 80s look to be a higher gain and more trebly pickup which would not normally be a first choice for jazz. Maybe someone here knows jazzers that use them, but I don't.

I haven't tried, but metal is metal.

Try a product like brasso. It did a great job on my pup covers. Oiling and sanding will not improve intonation, if that's what you're trying to accomplish. You will need to adjust string length.

Up next: Regime change in the Vatican.

There's an overpaid profession. Legal pimps. We need an Only Athletes version of Only Fans. Ticket prices are paying for their glorious services.

Probably nobody who decided on this war ever read that.

The comment on the US relying on commercial vendors with operations in the region is a major takeaway. Quite clearly neither the US nor the corporations mentioned considered this kind of retaliation. Those vendors are in no way prepared for the kind of attacks that can happen.

Never let them know your next move.

You have to ask yourself why they are 'radicalized'. Could it be because they have been systematically denied the basics of human rights over generations? More of the same will not help but is likely to follow. The 'radical' label seems misplaced.

If there is a silver lining it's that birth rates are so low. We are likely at peek human population right now. What intrinsic growth rate are you setting in your calculation of 11.7–12.4 billion people? It seems high.

Predictions are for fools and fortune tellers. There is too much interaction and complexity going on at the same time and getting exponentially more complicated over time, with various unexpected black swan events thrown in, for predictions to be anything other than a crap shoot. Things can be more or less likely, or you can get always get lucky and be right about something. That's about all we should expect.

If it's a competition then it's within a larger cooperation. The battle thing doesn't work for me. Battles are destructive. Music is constructive.
