Just finished making a dot-inlay chisel, and tested it out. Works pretty damn well! 😁

Did some multi-tasking while grading today. Got some extra shibuichi for inlay now. 😁

Yeah! I got a couple modern katana I bought about a year and a half ago. But then I learned how to build them because some of their handles were of poor quality.
Then, true to form, I learned how to sharpen and polish them in the traditional way.
I've been doing a lot of restoration work on antique Japanese swords and sword fittings lately, and I'm actually getting pretty good at it.

My supervisor at our work start-up meeting this morning:
"Hey B Dawg, last week I was having dinner downtown and saw like 50 huge animals walking down High Street. Was that you?"
Holy shit, that was a YEAR ago???

I am a professional researcher, and apply advanced methodologies to understand the driving forces behind social and political phenomena.
I also just used YouTube to look up how to fold a burrito properly. 🤣😭
Dear God, October was one hell of a month. 😖

These graphics of Israel-Hamas posts on X-Twitter really shows what has happened. The bigger the circle, the more views a post got. Regular media (blue) dwarfed by the Musk-enabled shitposters in yellow. Any traditional media still on Twitter is being suckered www.cip.uw.edu/2023/10/20/n...

I might as well give my masters in cybersecurity back if I click this. They aren't even trying.

I'll have to give it a try sometime! 😋
Lately I've been on a Paella kick. I haven't used any seafood for it, but I've done chicken and chorizo. Definitely untraditional, but still quite good.
See, I love this, because you just highlighted something that I didn't really consider before -- that's absolutely critical as well and has a massive impact helping people. 🙂
And it helps me understand my own biases better too. My PhD will be in IR theory, so I tend to "see it like a state." 😅
Not gross at all! It's an awesome field, and important of study. It's a major part of foreign policy, statecraft, grand strategy, and (at times) even law enforcement.

Practice is everything, I'm sure you'll have it up to your expectations in no time. Korean food is fantastic.
I take it you like to cook? It's a BIG hobby of mine. 🙂
I really need to work out, and get some actual muscle on this twink-ass frame of mine. 😂😭

You know, I've had this account for a month now and just never finished setting it up. 🤣
Howdy y'all, yous, and yins.
