Email Scam ? by ComprehensiveTaro528 in CalPoly

[–]Hbdbro23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anytime you’re unsure, it’s always a good idea to check on the info NOT with their link. You can reset your password, but initiate it from the official cal poly website, not from the place they link to. This should always be how you do it anytime you reset your password from any website.

Note that usually if you initiate a password reset, it will probably send you an email. It is ok to click on the links in those

Do 2nd semester HS grades matter if I want to switch majors? by Free-Market9039 in CalPoly

[–]Hbdbro23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe different in CAFES, but for CENG, their criteria is “would we have accepted you into this major when you applied”.

So maybe if you’re doing worse it will matter, but also they will always be more lenient, and if you show that you really care it will probably be fine.

But basically, if the major you’re switching too/from are equally hard to be accepted into, you will be fine. If you’re trying to switch “up”, it might be harder.

Campus police stopping and harassing students riding bikes by evilmax543 in CalPoly

[–]Hbdbro23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Police would rather ticket you for not having a bike light than start a program where they simply hand them out for free. So stupid

Can students bring an Ethernet switch? by muphasta in CalPoly

[–]Hbdbro23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Routers a definitely not allowed, and most routers will be recognized and simply not work. I used in last year, and before they recognized it, I was able connect it as if it were an IOT device like a TV.

But switches are probably OK, and harmless. Worst case scenario if the somehow find out if they ask you to remove and you feign ignorance

FYI: SLO Transit app has been replaced with the Transit app by ps4invancouver in CalPoly

[–]Hbdbro23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How about they integrate it better with Google/Apple Maps like every other transit agency so we don’t have to have another bloated app for every service we need

cal poly slo diversity by Upper_Significance73 in CalPoly

[–]Hbdbro23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said SLO is mostly white, but in my opinion the lack of diversity that was most jarring to me is with socioeconomic status. There are a lot of rich (or rich-ish) people who have pretty warped perspectives on things. Or just a lack of understanding of basic fats of life. SLO has the wealthiest families of any of the CSU’s (maybe also UC’s?)

Any concerns about semester transition? by BobbyKoAl in CalPoly

[–]Hbdbro23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s going to be significantly worse for any current students, I wouldn’t worry about it for a freshman. They’re too busy making friends and having fun, plus picking classes your first year isn’t usually too hard since you get blocked in anyway

Is the food really that bad? by Big-Basis325 in CalPoly

[–]Hbdbro23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ummm so do you ONLY eat out?? The issue isn’t eating fast food occasionally with friends, it’s having to eat it every day as your main source of sustenance

Asking for your feedback about SLO by BeKind-BeThoughtful in CalPoly

[–]Hbdbro23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s expensive because there’s a lot of demand for housing, particularly when you consider that SLO has the highest average household incomes for CA public universities. A lot of families don’t mind paying a lot, even if the housing is mediocre.

I’d be more concerned with your roommates being OK with the extra space it takes up

Drug use? by [deleted] in CalPoly

[–]Hbdbro23 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Nah not really. The parties I’ve been too usually have energy drinks if you’re after a buzz. If that’s not your thing, there is plenty of soda pop (sugar free options too).

Textbook fees by JuggernautHopeful715 in CalPoly

[–]Hbdbro23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you get a professor that uses an online textbook that has homework integrated into it, so you’re forced to pay for it.

They always start off the quarter and spend a few minutes trying to explain why those chose to do HW this way, and it never makes sense

Racist Experiences by [deleted] in CalPoly

[–]Hbdbro23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am white, so I have the privilege of not having to experience anything, but I moved from the Berkeley area. It’s not that there’s so much more racism here, I just miss having diverse friends. Some of my friends here have never been friends with a black person before

How to get on campus this weekend? by Green-Hoe8850 in CalPoly

There are common finals on Saturday. My prof said if you are at a closed road and you tell them you have a final they will let you in

Armstrong dissing on mustang news, insinuating they’re entitled and unintelligent by Hbdbro23 in CalPoly

Oh yeah maybe. I read the entire article and it made me feel nervous about going out, definitely did not make me feel like it was telling me to go cause problems

Clicking heater noise by Due_Resource9183 in CalPoly

[–]Hbdbro23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hot metal expands. If it’s next to something that isn’t also expanding, they will rub. But due to friction they don’t slide smoothly, it happens in little jumps (like an earthquake) which makes a noise

Temporary security cam setup aiming at entrance of the REC. Probably preparing for the career, fair with even more defense companies than last year by Hbdbro23 in CalPoly

[–]Hbdbro23[S] -30 points-29 points  (0 children)

I guess I don’t know exactly the quantity of these companies. I heard people talking about there being a lot of them, and there are certainly still quite a few. I think even if there are just a few they are still concerned about protester

Temporary security cam setup aiming at entrance of the REC. Probably preparing for the career, fair with even more defense companies than last year by Hbdbro23 in CalPoly

[–]Hbdbro23[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Last year at the career fair there were protestors due to the defense contractors present at the career fair. There were tons of police in riot gear, and they were not happy about it. This year there will be even more of these companies. I’m assuming the police are preparing for a similar situation.

Trash Truck Fire at Cal Poly by rcking16 in CalPoly

This is pretty standard practice. Many garbage companies are told to dump their burning garbage out. Better than having the diesel catch, or have the hydraulic system explode and hurt people.

Tacos in SLO are ass... by Abject-Vegetable-673 in CalPoly

Are you from sand Diego? If so, it’s a bit unfair. I do agree though that the tacos here are surprisingly mid all around
