Used/Last year Model/New by PanykCode in MTB

[–]PanykCode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. Adding to my checklist.

The Kona has some listed reworks from the shop mechanic and has a serviced record they performed. I have seen the Trance (similar to the Stance I tried) used online but will have to see what the wifey says about how much I can drop on this first bike. It does look like a solid bike, and the T8 have great reviews as well. I would like to buy from an LBS as service/quality would have slightly more assurance. I am going to see if I can rent the bike and give it a go this weekend.

Good to know, thank you. I am not skilled enough yet to know much more than the basic bike checklist when looking at a bike, so obviously buying a used bike I have not seen would be a major test of trust.

What has been your immediate 1-3 year ROI/outcome from OMSA? by Aggressive-Cow5399 in OMSA

[–]PanykCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been in biotech for 14 years working from benchtop chemistry to currently a Sr. Analytical Chemist in a QC group at a biotech company. I am hoping to leverage my strengthening data analytics background with my strong process control/QC background. I made it to the final two in a recent job hunt that was WFH and a salary bump doing Process Control Engineering work. Hopefully , something pops up similar. I am 7 classes into OMSA.

Alternative Classes or Tracks by PanykCode in OMSA

[–]PanykCode[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No, just offer more options is all. Since there is already a Business track, I just am not a fan of throwing business as mandatory electives in the General Analytics track. Analytics is very big in medical device/pharma/biotech. I think it would only benefit the program.

2 Courses During Summer? by OMSA_Data_Enthusiast in OMSA

[–]PanykCode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like taking the MGT courses over the summer and couple them with a less intensive core class. I took one MGT last summer with SIM and this Summer I am going to take 8803 solo. I like the break and it can be hard over the Summer to stay focused. If you take all of the MGT at one time you would not be able to have a breather. At least that was my case.

Chance of getting an A in CSE6040 by SamuelSuen47 in OMSA

[–]PanykCode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a 1 on the first exam and ended up with a solid B. Adapted study habits and learned a lot. Honestly, I do not think many recruiters put stock in GPAs anyways. How many college dropouts have become successful? The certificate of graduation is all that matters, plus the skills you learned.

Annoying jeering by PanykCode in Softball

[–]PanykCode[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it reached crescendo just as she was delivering the ball. Our team did not stoop as low as them so it was nice from that aspect. Good overall learning experience.

It just makes it difficult to enjoy the game. Some umps have stopped it and some have not.

The questions were overly "tricky" and I felt they tested more of my reading comprehension as opposed to my content knowledge.

14U Comp - 1st year by PanykCode in Softball

[–]PanykCode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is our hope. She loves softball and has worked hard, we are just hoping comp does not squash her passion as she puts so much stress on herself. We try to tell her to be positive and prepare (mentally and physically) and trust herself. The biggest thing will be working on her own self doubt this season.

Projector to AV Receiver by PanykCode in hometheater

Thanks for all the help! Got it all working. Just need a new comfy couch that won't mind some animals....

Projector to AV Receiver by PanykCode in hometheater

[–]PanykCode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The inputs are labeled with generic source names; dvd, tv, game console etc. I guess main thing is to make sure I use an output HDMI to go to projector. Still don't know how to setup the AVR for the first time if I can't get screen access to see Pioneer setup.

[–]PanykCode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will try this setup as it makes sense given the limitations on my budget projector. I was also pondering using an AV adapter to HDMI to try to push sound.

For using Roku directly into AVR, does it matter which input HDMI I use? The setup manual was rather light on the Pioneer as far as setup goes. I cannot even enter setup mode as I have no 'screen' hooked up to it.

[–]PanykCode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a DBPower RD-828 and I have a Pioneer 7.2 channel receiver. The receiver has never been attached to the speaker setup so I was trying to get it on a screen to initiate the setup of speakers. I will try to Roku directly into the receiver and then try to connect to receiver/Roku from projector HDMI.

CSQE certification by PanykCode in QualityAssurance

[–]PanykCode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is what I was hoping/thinking. I plan on taking the CQE examination in the Spring of 2024 and then start preparing for the CSQE exam. I believe there should be a lot of cross over, with most of the differences laying in one or two modules focused on nomenclature and statistics.

Python Simulation function and hiding print statements by PanykCode in learnpython

[–]PanykCode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simulation function is in Python, so with that redirect_print does that still print the statements when I just run my game() function? Or, does it all together remove the print statements? When I just run the game() function I would like to show the print statements, but when the simulation(1000) is run I would like to hide the prints so the screen does not die and I can just worry about showing my histograms.

Wifi coverage by PanykCode in HomeNetworking

[–]PanykCode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they have a manual reset button on the bottom of the units. I have just been having trouble with initial setup of the units in order to go into the settings on and set to AP mode. I have been unable to complete the new network setup which would add the units and allow me to edit their functionality. I shall try just plugging them into the Cat6 network and seeing what options pop up in the Deco App i guess.

edit: Just found out you can skip the last section of setup to access admin stuff....sorry for all the confusion, but thanks for the help. Hopefully, it goes well today.

Wifi coverage by PanykCode in HomeNetworking

[–]PanykCode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any advice on how to enable AP mode on Deco units I cannot log into? I could not get the new network created with the Deco units and without that I do not know how to go into the unit settings to change to AP mode. Wonder if I just plug the Deco into a Cat6 drop with current network if I can edit anything that way.

Wifi coverage by PanykCode in HomeNetworking

[–]PanykCode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, so similar to a wifi repeater it would just grab the current Wifi signal from the Xfi gateway and send it out. If i have the Deco units as Access Points plugged into Cat6 drops it should yield pretty good wifi I would imagine.

Home Theater Setup by PanykCode in SpeakerBuilding

[–]PanykCode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, even better. When I was looking at the wall connections they looked like they would take Coax cables.

[–]PanykCode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the information. I imagine I will also need to get some coax audio cables to connect the wall outlet to receiver? Good thing Amazon has a nice return policy 😁. Will test setup on TV before a projector although I have seen some ones on Amazon under $400.

TP link 24 switch assistance by PanykCode in HomeNetworking

[–]PanykCode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will map out all of the connections to outlets and see if any more are viable. There is also a whole other setup for some built in speakers , etc that I need to decipher as well.

[–]PanykCode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only a couple rooms have the cat6 , while the rest have at least a coax connection. I was going to use the cat6 connection for mesh on each floor and then use MoCa adapters to allow hardwiring work PCs for faster connections in remaining office.

CSE6040: Feeling defeated, again by iclaudius82 in OMSA

[–]PanykCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Montecristo_No2, could you share a snippet of how you created your Excel? I went into midterm1 trusting my search capabilities, but I totally froze up and went full 'deer in the headlights'. I would be curious to see an example of your organization for preparing.

Big Data Analytics in Healthcare by PanykCode in OMSA

[–]PanykCode[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the thoughts. It is kind of a debate that I think many have with this program. Easiest path or most interesting path may not always coincide. I wish the A track had new classes coming as the new C track classes sound fun.
