No problem! Good luck on your project!

I would post in r/DIY. They've got a lot more experience in this kind of stuff. Plus you can peruse their other posts and get more ideas.
Heck it seems 4 hours ago someone painted their countertops and are happy with the result but want to seal it. So you'll definitely find knowledgeable tips there.

You can smooth out the concrete. Like sanding wood.

It has a shit cpu that won't be good for 1 year.
They need to make a repairable flagship device.

Why are you painting concrete that gets walked on?
Strip everything and seal. Paint is for walls not floors.

Feral cows are dangerous to humans and have no natural predators there. God forbid we get a feral cow infestation.

I'm sure they're trash now, but I bought a leather belt from Old Navy in 2004 for my first job and it's still looking new. Daily worn. Got a wallet the same day and I'm still rockin' it!
The wallet astounds me the most. I wasn't military but did some federal police work for a bit on the border. ATV squad, brush work, and hunting drug smugglers. That wallet stayed in my uniform pants cargo pocket and I still use it today.

Even better: if you don't have a lot of cards, buy a rigid thin wallet like Ridge or something like that. They're not only thin but very comfortable to store in a front pocket.
It is weird sitting in a car without a huge lump on your ass but totally worth it for comfort

My wife and I spend it on August 23. The first day we met in school
Edit: we hated each other for years

Maybe I'm negative but never propose or ask out or marry on popular days.
Because if it fails, you'll always remember that failed relationship every year.

This is a good tip. I've used this to type out angry emails to coworkers or bosses and after I vented, I can delete it and type a professional email after.

I think as computational power continues to increase, they're going to find even better ways to put on shoes, or tie shoelaces, or do basically anything we know, just more efficiently.
This is just the beginning. The rate it is accelerating due to AI specific compute units is scary.

Is curry functions a programming term? I'm not a programmer, but AI doesn't need human interaction to learn. That's the whole point.
Typical robots you can teach it to put on a pair of boots. But you'd have to program every single step of the way and the boots will generally need to be in the same spot every time and be the same type of boots.
Whereas an AI will scan the internet, see boots are "footwear" and be able to put them on without much trouble.
AI is gaining enormous gains, enough where entry level college jobs and a lot of investing and accountant jobs are at risk of being obsolete quicker than manufacturing and trade jobs.

This reminds me of the AI demonstration where the robot tried to make a burger without any preprogramming.
It did it almost perfectly but put the literal bottle of ketchup between the meat and bun. Burger + plastic bottle yummm

You earned a gold star. Now about your yearly raise... Yeah we only made 200% profits this year so we are going to need to put that on hold.
My company did that this year. Record profits, company is expanding, but no raise this year. Last year they gave hourly employees $2 an hour increase. No raises to anyone this year except corporate I suspect. I'm management and didn't see a dime. My team and I literally increased productivity by 25 percent, reduced waste by 15 percent, and almost nobody called in sick.
When I brought it up, I was told "there wasn't room in the budget this year." Fuck off we saved so much money they could have DOUBLED our salaries and wages and we'd still be making record profit.
Edit: Sorry for the salty rant. Last year they showered us with Christmas presents and big bonuses and raises, and this Christmas they paid for like a dozen pepperoni pizzas from Little Caesars while giving a big speech how much money we made them.
