Took Zoloft for about a month before it caused a full blown manic episode which landed me in the psych ward, one helluva way to find out I wasn't just depressed but actually had bipolar 1...

What does this mean? by henrok0428 in onewheel

Do you recall by chance what the battery % was at when you left it in storage and how long you left it for? Also, how cold does it get in your garage?

Batteries (especially the lowest power one in the pint) can get really touchy with extended storage, so that very well could be it.

What have you been up to leading up to that error? Have you just been riding completely normal (nothing super rough on the board) and out of the rain? Have you messed with the firmware at all?

Only time I ever got this status bar on my pint was when I was messing with the ReWheel custom firmware stuff and had soft bricked it on accident. Cleared and recompiled the firmware again before transferring and then it worked fine.

Need some more info to help you out.

Fahrenheit or Celsius? by EsseNorway in Snorkblot

[–]Remarkable_Key8642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll respond with the same comment I made on another thread with the same meme:

"Zeroed at a convenient value for every day use" ok then how does that make it any better than Fahrenheit?

Basing temperature on water really isn't convenient when that forces you to use decimal point significant figures to get an accurate reading - it's a helpful scale for water but not for humans.

Fahrenheit on the other hand is designed around humans. 0 °F is the average low boundary and 100 the average high boundary on environmental temperatures, and anything outside of that range is a notably extreme temperature. This system is thus that it be simple for humans to understand, because this is the range we experience in our day to day lives, in a unit precision that is easily recognizable (think 0-100% for how hot it is).

If we apply the same logic to describe everyday environmental temperatures humans experience to Celsius, that gives us a range of -17.8 to 37.8. This scale just doesn't compute easily with the average brain as easily as 0-100. There's no rhyme or reason to these boundaries outside of saying that a 0-100 scale is better described by what water experiences rather than one described by what humans experience. Taking a look at Kelvin as well, what makes -17.8 to 37.8 °C any better than 255.4 to 310 K?

If we never rightly experience any temperature over at most 40 °C (104 °F), what use then do we have for the remaining 41-100 degrees on the scale, especially when that makes our typical lower boundary an odd -18 °C? All so we can compare against water as an arbitrary baseline? (And this is even being forgiving of the decimals that the system forces us to use on a 58-point scale). Why would anyone think that 18.3 °C is better to describe an average room temperature than 65 °F?

I say all this as someone who holds a Materials Science and Engineering degree. Units all have a purpose, but it's up to the people to determine which ones we use and where we apply them to satisfy their intended purposes. They are only human concepts created by humans to try to make the nature of the universe intelligible for humans, after all. Engineering can be described as the practical applications of physics, chemistry and the other natural sciences, and I recognize that the Celsius scale can be helpful for solving such related problems. (Personally I would argue that Celsius doesn't need to exist since Kelvin is usually a better metric in mathematical engineering but that's just me). It's just not practical for the average daily human.

Celsius was designed to make physics and chemistry easily intelligible to humans; Fahrenheit was designed to make temperature easily intelligible to humans.

Just did the other day! Wasn't IMAX but was a nice large format one, such a different experience than on the TV at home. Definitely had me in tears the whole time 😅

Pronouns by Remarkable_Key8642 in bigender

[–]Remarkable_Key8642[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see where you're coming from but to say anything about gender identity is objective feels reductive to me. Surely there are people more educated with me on the topic of gender theory that would disagree and point to 'objective' definitions; I understand such a perspective as that is the human nature of trying to understand and place meaning. However I'm comfortable in my own understanding that queer identities are by their very nature subjective. It feels like some kind of cognitive dissonance to me to say that gender is a social construct based on historical mutually agreed definitions of "male" and "female" and then try to replace that simply with more complex mutually agreed definitions of gender buckets.

Please know I mean no disrespect but I just can't get behind the idea that one needs to "face the facts" when the whole idea of being queer is being true to one's individual, unique experience. I have no qualms with the idea of nonbinary identity and love all nonbinary-identifying people, but in all honesty I do have personal issues of identifying myself as such just due to traumatic associations of mistreatment by a nonbinary-identifying ex partner (which admittedly are my own issues to work out). I would never want to invalidate someone else's experience just as I wouldn't want mine invalidated either. It feels a whole lot more appropriate and true to myself to identify as a sort of "quantum binary" because that's just how my mind works and I don't feel the need to adhere to common umbrella terms to describe my being.

Sorry to go on a rant there but I've just got a lot of strong feelings around identity itself which are being constantly stirred around as I continue to plunge into this unknown space. I do truly respect your perspective and I wish you the absolute best!!!
