Yes, a lot of transistors, capacitors, resistors, and inductors and whatnot. I've done the basic mathematical and physics theory behind this stuff in intro E&M physics, so I may try to read up on all the math and physics behind this stuff as I do it to help better inform me of what is actually going on when I play the electric guitar.

Ooh, very complicated. I actually haven't played too much with transistors or inductors much, but hopefully I'll get into those eventually. That'll be really helpful. You can learn new ways to play the electric guitar to get the sound you're looking for. I'm sure there's a lot of acoustic physics and engineering that you'll find helpful.
I'm worried I might be going down the rabbithole here but I'll learn something for sure. I have a tiny breadboard, if this goes well I may have to upgrade.
May need a break from sorting lego, hurting my brain on the sorting
Yes, but then MLN just died out so it was kind of irrelevant
HOPEFULLY I get into a PhD, if not I'll be just getting a masters then see where the wind blows me
I originally had everything in trays I made myself, but I got annoyed with the trays, hence the bags. I was trying to then put the bags IN the trays and that kind of works but not everything fits. I have a bunch of larger tubs that I have some bags in now, but organization is poor because there's like zero friction and everything falls everywhere - and hard for me to see stuff too. I guess like I kind of know where everything is for the most part so it shouldn't be too bad to work with, but I want my lego sorting utopia. I actually have a set of like 48 small drawers I bought a while back, so I'm trying to decide what would work better in the drawers rather than in the bags. I also have a rolling cabinet with pretty shallow removable drawers I'm considering putting some bags in for accessibility. My favorite thus far is long, narrow boxes to put bags in, but it's harder to flip through and see what's in there. But I guess it's not too hard to remember what's where I guess I think I'll try sorting out a box of unsorted LEGO I have to see how well I can work with the system I've got right now. Maybe later this week.

That's a good idea. Speaking of sorting, I've been thinking about making an automated LEGO sorting machine for a while now. Maybe I'll learn how to get a camera to recognize all kinds of LEGO bricks and a machine to put them into different bins so that I can spend more time building.
That makes sense. Were a lot of people on MLN even before it was announced it was going to close, or did it just get empty overtime?
Good plan. Is PhD and Masters two separate programs where you are? For me, I'm in the Masters program, but if I wanted to I think I can do a PhD just by taking more classes and doing a dissertation for another year or two.
Ah, I totally understand. I suppose you'll have to look at your parts inventory to see what kind of parts you have and see where the best place would be for those parts. I guess another way to sort would be to sort by usability. Perhaps the pieces you don't use often or find harder to implement in MOCs could be in a bin that you don't mind being mixed around with other parts. Good luck, and I hope it goes well.
The only weird idea I have like that is to get a PDF or spreadsheet of all the types of bricks, then number them and number my bags accordingly so I have everything in order as it relates to a sort of catalog
I think MLN was dying out even in 2010 when I played? It was kind of terrible so I don't think a whole lot of people really went through all the ranks in the first place.
And that depends on the school and the major. For most of the Ivy League math programs, I think they just have PhD, so I'd be applying to them for PhD then to other schools for masters as a backup. I think at most schools if you're doing well in the masters program you can apply to PhD and will usually get accepted. At my current university, which does not have an exceedingly high ranked math program (I did not matriculate here for math ) I think you're basically guaranteed a spot in the masters program if you did undergrad there. I might be able to get advanced credits I did in undergrad to roll over to a masters program and also qualify for no tuition due to my undergrad GPA, so if I get rejected from the PhDs I apply to that might be my most economical option. However, I really want to go to another school
That's not a bad idea, really. But it's often hard to determine what's bad and what's good, as I would like to be able to use a variety of weird pieces in my builds.
They're the best at it. Yeah, because who wants to wait for the episodes to come out on TV?
That, my friend, is a true and very wise statement. Psshh, not me.
That's why I am a sensei. Not me, either. Jokes aside, when my family was living in Germany, finding somewhat-recent episodes of Ninjago was hard, because a lot of streaming services used in Germany are much more strict about their content.
:3 Well, do you and your siblings like to play outside? Aw. xD
My siblings do, I don't because bugs Any plans for the summer? :3
Get some tick spray. I'm not sure... I know my dad's going to make me take some big fancy test, and (unless the you-know-what virus is still around by then), Mock and I are going to visit and stay for a week at the college we've been considering attending. We might visit our cousins more often, but in the meantime we're basically just going to stay at home and chill. I've got writing, filming, and drawing projects to keep myself occupied. You? :3
