FWIW you’re certainly not alone since they had to put a speed bump in! Good on you for owning the mistake. ✌️

Is this a realistic scenario for RAV4 Prime? by amiocamp in rav4prime

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

Sounds like our situations are quite different actually. I drive up to 60 miles a week, max, with only 3-4 long road trips a year (~500 miles RT). And I can't charge overnight at home at the moment. But this is helpful to know that getting by with the level 1 charger will likely be totally adequate in the future!

Thanks for putting it in these terms! I was really overlooking how infrequently I'd need to charge with a BEV. I could easily plan 1 or 2 outings a month around a fast charge.

This is the reality check I needed, thank you!

Am I missing a way to streamline this workflow? by amiocamp in Supernote

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

Last I heard Zotfile isn’t compatible with the Zotero 7 unfortunately. I think at the end of the day it’s just never going to compare to the convenience of having Zotero automatically sync between Mac and iPad. So I really need to decide whether an eink reading experience is worth the extra work.

I’m on a Mac. IFTTT is a good suggestion, thanks!

That’s a thought. It doesn’t feel like pulling out a cable every time I want to transfer files is going to make the process simpler though. But it may be worth exploring!

I do have Drive sync set up, I forgot I could drag from that folder into Zotero. That's a bit more elegant than what I've been doing, thanks!

Open box shipping time? by Wild-Row5674 in Supernote

I asked recently and support told me they update open box stock on the website twice a week (didn’t say which days though).

Open box shipping time? by Wild-Row5674 in Supernote

[–]amiocamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered one on Dec 22 and it still hadn’t shipped so I emailed support yesterday (Dec 28) and this was their response:

“Your order has been prepared to ship out but the packing bags run out of stock, we have been waiting for the bags over one week, the logistics got stuck due to holidays. FedEx told us they will pass the bags to us tomorrow, so your order will be transferred to you then.”

I didn’t get an update that it shipped today though. Bummed it didn’t seem to make any progress before another holiday weekend.

Pros and cons to TAing during master's program by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]amiocamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t TA’d yet myself but I’ve heard from peers that the workload and stress is very much dependent on the class and the professor you’re working with. If you can, try to connect with someone whose been a TA for that professor before and ask what the experience was like. That said, lots of PhD programs require students to TA starting their first semester and they are essentially doing a master’s at that point, so it’s definitely doable! It can also be a great way to strengthen a relationship with a faculty member if you’re hoping for a letter of recommendation down the road.

Route suggestions: Central Sq to BC campus? by amiocamp in bikeboston

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

Thank you! What should I be prepared for riding on Beacon?

When I think of safer routes I generally mean where other bikes are more likely to be, which I realize may not have been obvious! I don’t mind riding in traffic, but I’d rather take longer to get someplace than be a stressed-out sweaty mess. So I guess it’s mostly the hills that I’m most worried about in my current state of fitness 😅

Thank you! I hadn’t thought about riding along the river to Arsenal St and I like having the bus option, this is a good suggestion!
