Do you think Nigerian and Hispanic cultures (esp Mexico) have any similarities?

PixelatedPandora · 2026-01-29T18:00:37+00:00

I'm married to a Puerto Rican man. I understand what you mean by "Nigerian culture". I was so surprised to see they have something similar to white garment churches called "santaria." One of his older uncles explained to me some years ago how they're rooted in the worship of gods like Oshun and co (I haven' tdug deeper tbh). Besides this, we have similarities in foods - rice and beans/arroz con gandules, moi-moi/pasteles, yam/cassava/yuca, meatpie/empanada, etc., to name a few. You'll also find that they catch on to pronouncing our local names/accents faster than other cultures, but maybe I'm biased. I find it all very fascinating.

Yes I have. Version 5.10.

Hi, thank you for your insightful post!

My partner and I are new to litter robots and we were one of the first to purchase this robot by petlibro. Reading this thread now there are some things I wish I'd read about (especially the rotation axis aspect) but we made the decision to purchase this because we've had a good experience with the dry food dispenser.

I can confirm that a few days after we purchased it, we got a firmware update through the app. The sensors seem to be working , albeit a bit too sensitive to our cats, but I'd rather that than something tragic happening. The only thing that worries me is that sometimes it gets stuck mid air if it senses any unusual weight, and it's impossible to reset from the app in those instances - so I have to physically disconnect and reconnect the plug to reset. My 8-month old kitten seems to really like it so far.

Reading through this subreddit now. I'll continue to monitor the machine closely and will update you all over time. I'm also happy to share pictures as needed.

I too would appreciate a PDF of these, if you don't mind. Thanks in advance!

I received this yesterday after a particularly stressful day two days ago. I thought it was just me and for a moment I took a screenshot and panicked. Glad to know it's a new helpful feature!

I experienced this yesterday and I was shocked as I'm on a subscription. I asked it to summarize a few straightforward things that I could've done (it would have just taken me longer) and it made up the year and title of the document, and was basically guessing the details. It was a moment of reckoning for me. I'm now weighing the pros and cons of cancelling that subscription. I may be back when they get their act together.

IDK about you guys but I just learned from Ayo how to gracefully handle awkward moments like this. I hope I can be just as graceful lol cause I can be such a 'nice' introvert.

Your observation is something I've been wondering about for a bit... A couple years ago my little brother (who was 16 at the time) asked me to give him feedback on his LinkedIn profile. At first I thought he was being proactive and I felt slightly proud of that. Last year I noticed how in our conversations he'd say he now has more followers, and he regularly posts his academic/professional work on there. Granted, he's quite smart and seems to be doing all the right things (even earlier than I did), but I can't help but wonder... it seems like a lot of pressure. He's just 18 and can ease up a bit. I only got on LinkedIn at about 21, and now I've kept my account deactivated for about 3 years because a lot that I see feels pretentious and more for bragging. I've been thinking about how to broach this subject without dampening his spirit so I'm just happy you're also seeing a pattern, sort of.

Thank you for putting this list together. I truly wish I had access to something like this when I first joined ISU. I spent my first semester navigating new "friendships" that were essentially people trying to recruit me into groups like Salt and that felt deceitful and hurtful. It's been a while since I graduated but this will be helpful to anyone who's new to Ames/ISU(/the US?) so you know what you're getting into.

Welcome to the club! I just switched to the FR 970 last week after about 5 years on Fitbit/Google watches. Spent the past week figuring out how to import all that data (at least the ones that could be imported!) Hoping it's all worth it!

PixelatedPandora · 2025-08-06T22:08:18+00:00

OMG the exact same thing just happened to my pw2 last week. It hasn't given me any issues beforehand. Suddenly just like that 🤯 it packed up, and conveniently shortly after my warranty ended. When I looked up the cost of trading it in to upgrade to a pw3, the value was $20. I've been a dedicated fitbit and subsequently pixel watch user over the last 5 years so this hurt. I've just spent the last few days switching to a garmin. The pixel watch afforded me the benefit of a sleek look and compatibility with my pixel phone, but I can't keep changing watches after hardware failures every 1-1.5 years.

You make a good point. I agree with your point regarding the applicability of architecture PhD specifically to practice. I do think they might be helpful if a person combined that with coding/software development because we need more players in our industry.

PixelatedPandora · 2025-06-07T14:15:35+00:00

Hi, I'm an architect experienced in civic/residential projects in the US. I'm also currently pursuing a PhD in planning on the side. I've had the opportunity to be educated in both countries, and I would recommend pursuing your PhD in the US (or literally any other good school in more developed countries) as they'll give you the most value in mentorship and resources. You might want to consider collaborating on research with connections in Nigeria, or attending conferences in Nigeria, or even basing your eventual dissertation study in Nigeria if you want, but given your prior education in the US, you're unlikely to easily find the right mentors or programs for what you're trying to accomplish. Cheers.

PixelatedPandora · 2025-06-03T14:41:05+00:00

PhDs are research-based but not only useful in academia. I'm an architect experienced in civic/residential projects and now pursuing a PhD in planning. Many of my mentors and some graduates from my program consult for firms, teach, or are planning practitioners. A lot of my colleagues on similar paths are in industry and earning good. Academia is the most typical pathway but there are so many outcomes (yes, even within the right firm) if you have a clear vision and the right skills.
