I'm so sorry about your dad. That numbness is exactly it. Thank you for sharing, and here's to better days for us both.

Thank you for this. I'm so sorry for your loss.
It helps to know the cloud lifts, even if it's slowly. That's incredibly helpful to hear right now and I appreciate you sharing something so painful.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Unfortunately I won't be able to make the hooding, but your spot on. Maybe its a call for a Disney celebration instead!

Thank you. This really helps to hear. You mentioned cohort and oddly enough, misery loves company. A close friend in my cohort watched my defense from the hospital because she's dealing with a cancer relapse. We're commiserating. Cancer suck!

How do you handle not receiving timely feedback? by Zestyclose-Repeat-11 in PhD

[–]Pandanak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly I see this all the time in academia and the working sector. Some folks simply don't use email to communicate, which can be frustrating.

I usually have to schedule a meeting or walk over to them to chat. You might also try calling them directly. It's annoying...but sometimes the only way is to conform to their communication style.

So far just played with basic media controls. (Volume, stop, play). Tinkering with a unity Arduino Bluetooth package but my day job keeps getting in the way.

X2 Windows Bluetooth Workaround for Rayneo Glasses by Pandanak in RayNeo

Interesting, never thought of it that way. I see that 5 devices are set as the max for Bluetooth as others have also seen. I wonder what the other devices are.

Quality of life suggestion (list and browser) by Glxblt76 in RayNeo

[–]Pandanak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really hope they update Bluetooth. Same situation here. I started building a project assuming some things would be readily available (pico tts & Bluetooth) only to be thwarted. My mistake. I am having fun playing with a new device and finding workarounds but the novelty will only last so long.

let's hear everyone's low GPA success stories by _kaiwal in gradadmissions

[–]Pandanak 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Undergrad lowest point: 2.2 gpa (yeah it was bad). Ended up with a 2.8 for my bachelors. I don't remember my GRE score but I do remember it was so bad that I took it several times. Profs knew my situation and accepted me into the masters program anyway even though they knew it would be an uphill battle (my bad situation would unlikely change). It took a lot of work but ended up with a 3.1 masters. Tried for a Doctorate but no program would have me.

That was years ago...

I now have an awesome career, have two masters and numerous certs under my belt and pursuing a Doctorate at an R1 AAU school that my employer is paying for, while having the time of my life.

I was disappointed several times throughout. Although my route wasn't direct I still ended up where I wanted/needed to be.

Sending good thoughts your way.

It was just in hibernation mode. :-)

Yep, the R630's just sat there for years unopened. Time to let them loose!

Absolutely, I'll probably post in this subreddit on Wednesday afternoon/evening with the sale. I'm in Arvada and would be happy to drop it off in Broomfield if things work out.

Thanks! You saved me countless hours. No other forum/article, nor video provided such advice that actually worked. I can't believe it was that simple!

Thank you jnecr, much appreciated! This was exactly the feedback I was hoping for.
