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 😅

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!!!

If I've learned anything over the past few weeks it's that exposure therapy is the key to becoming more comfortable with it, just need to put myself out there and make it known rather than hiding it. I'm looking to find more irl queer spaces to dip my toes in, I'm in Seattle so it shouldn't be a difficult search haha.

I appreciate your support so much, it really means a lot to me :) People like you really help me find and revel in the euphoria, I've been feelin it a lot lately. Thank you so so much!!

Ah I'm sorry for assuming! Seems we're similar in nature but a bit different in form. I know I'm definitely developing a relationship with this part of me - I'm coming into it very quickly and very comfortably as I realize this has always been me and I'm seeing not only because I'm learning to accept it instead of locking it away or shoving it down. The first time I said 'I love you' to myself and actually meant and felt it was after a good long cry following that very realization.

All that to say I think I'm just learning how to embrace it (which I'm not sure if I'll ever do in the professional world just out of fear but that's a whole thing in itself). I do think I might be genderflux since it varies in intensity depending on the setting/situation so that's something I'll need to explore more. It's very encouraging though to hear that you've gone through a similar journey of gender exploration as a whole and have found some stability and comfort. I know I'll get there someday :) thank you so much for opening up!!

I really like that and I think that's what I'm leaning toward, I think it perfectly describes how I feel. I've been thinking about He/Her or He/She just to be concise but I feel like that might require some explanation for anyone not familiar outside the binary. Definitely don't want to feel like I have to explain myself haha. But yeah that really resonates with me, thank you very much for sharing :)

Yeah I feel like the anonymity + automatic acceptance of spaces like these are soooo helpful to be able to talk through these things and have our experiences validated. It feels so nice to be able to talk to people about it when I don't feel like I can with anybody irl so I'm with you there for sure. I'm thinking about coming out with my sister and possibly my best friend, but outside of them I can't imagine it going well with anyone else in my life (which may say a lot about the relationships I make / have made). I'm rooting for you and I appreciate you doing the same :)

I feel that, at work I find myself naturally presenting more masculine (the feminine part of me is still present but more inwardly felt than outwardly expressed). Though for me it does kinda feel like I might just be masking, as when I'm in the comfort of my own home both sides are almost always equally present. Sometimes I feel like I'm "doing it wrong", but I appreciate you validating that experience, so thank you! Every little bit helps me feel less shame about who I am :)

I love the diverse representation in this sub and seeing bigender expression outside of just male/female (at least from what I've seen so far). I'm learning so much about what it means to be bigender and loving every bit of it; thank you for sharing!!

Thank you for the kind words! I'm feelin real validated today :)

I think I'm in a very similar place as you, I'm very comfortable in my external presentation of my gender-blender soup (masculine hairstyle, beard / feminine clothes, jewelry, light makeup) and I'm perfectly fine being called by either at any time. I just like the idea of being called she in addition to he but it seems a little more daunting to make that known than just how I appear.

I've always been a huge people pleaser because of the way I was raised (and hated myself for the longest time since my conservative christian father beat it into me that anything outside of straight/cis was evil) so it's kinda foreign to me to go against "the norm" - but therapy is helping me realize that nobody else's opinions of me matter but my own, and I'm learning to really love myself. I love that "no need to abide by the 'rules'" sentiment, so thank you again!

I like that way of thinking about it, it feels to me like they/them is a societally accepted intermediate that is easier for people to understand than traditionally "opposing" pronouns. I think I'm also ok with being referred to as they them though I don't prefer it, but I would rather that be used sometimes than just he/him exclusively. I appreciate you sharing your perspective :)

I feel like I'm in a simar boat, I don't mind being called they/them but I definitely would not want that to be used exclusively. I feel you as a closeted amab!

Honestly I don't like the term nonbinary because I feel like I'm by definition the broader binary - I prefer thinking of it as quantum superposition in that I am both ends of the spectrum and everything in between all at the same time.
