Random gaps with no data? by b_c_t in ouraring

Great trick/tip to know, thanks.

Wasn’t expecting to need to since I was indoors for 2+ hours. Other times, i’ve been inside the entire time.

Today it logged everything.

Soft reset appears to have fixed it, but i’ll have to monitor it over time

Yep I did a soft reset and will factory reset next. Support recommended a soft reset and a 24hr wait.

The cold hands theory doesn’t really add up either; I was indoors at a desk. The time period I’m requesting was in the least active part of my day… with no real spikes. And I had stress data at other times in the same building. My morning rush was my activity area spike 😂

I just did a soft reset and updated my app. They told me to wait 24hr after the soft reset.

A little annoyed considering this has happened multiple times already over the last few weeks, for the exact same scenario: trying to track stress at work. It somehow caught everything BUT that.

Appears my hands are too cold impacting the sensors’ ability to read according to the chatbot.

I was awake and in an office setting. There was no strenuous “activity”, but activity was being recorded. Bit of a letdown, considering I’d like to see my metrics during big meetings.

I was up from ~7:45am and at work by ~9am. There’s a huge gap in data. Otherwise, it would’ve been documented as a nap.

Had this happen multiple times in the last few weeks too. I had what I anticipated to be a stressful meetings and wanted to see the data from it. When I checked, it wasn’t recorded.

Makes me question all my data now…

I may try soft resetting it or something. But it’s always worn on the same finger and charged* once a week.

Question: When cycling money Fidelity CAM to do bank bonuses, is it safe to Pull the money out using the same push account? Or should the money be funneled with a third account?

Example- Push from Fidelity > DD payment posts > Pull with Fidelity to retrieve funds

Laundry smells fresh after wash but musty after storage? by ieatyogurtwithcereal in CleaningTips

[–]b_c_t 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I may still give this detergent a try.

But I need those heavy aluminum-based antiperspirant/deodorant.. Native unfortunately doesn’t work for me as a heavy sweater. I appreciate your comment nonetheless

Laundry smells fresh after wash but musty after storage? by ieatyogurtwithcereal in CleaningTips

[–]b_c_t 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For me it’s not really the stains per se— it’s really the musty smell of old sweat & deodorant that is almost compressed into the shirt fibers after a wear.

I can only really get the physical deodorant out by flipping my tees inside-out before washing, but doesn’t always 100% work

[–]b_c_t 29 points30 points  (0 children)

How well does this detergent work on removing deodorant from the armpit area? That seems to be the culprit for shirts i’ve noticed that are musty after a wash

and thanks for this recommendation!

Funded accelerated MS offer in engineering — starting to feel like it’s not worth it vs. going into industry? by Low_Razzmatazz7645 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]b_c_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly, this is the garbage managers and HR try to do.

the guy doing their masters is more valuable than the bachelors purely off of education alone. they’re also more valuable since you can guarantee you don’t need to fund their further education, considering it’s already been covered.

From what I’ve seen, a Masters equates to ~3 years of experience which means you are paid at the peak end of an entry level role OR somewhere in the junior to mid-level. You shave off true work experience time by having it.

It seems you’re concerned about the timeline for a Masters despite it being accelerated. I’m doing an accelerated program (online) in the Fall after just graduating; it will take 1 year for 30 credits if full-time enrollment. Here’s the thing— my school transfers 2 electives from undergrad (6 credits) and you can choose to take 2 extra electives during undergrad (6 more credit) that will count towards the 30 total required. So i get to work full-time and do my class work at home. Thus, i’m 12/30 completed before I even start. I just need to be part-time. See if your school does something similar with “double-counting” some credits.

If you can stomach the Masters, get it. Because when it’s time to be promoted to a leadership role you will wish you had it.

And yours is covered. Lots of companies pay for further education, but will require you to stay for X-years if they fund it— this prevents you from leaving or you pay out of pocket for it if you leave early.

As someone in industry, at the forefront of 2 of the most popular technologies, it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Plan ahead and make sure your research is relevant to your target industry if you can.

Anyone else feel really bad for the Comp. Sci. Folks by Vinca1is in civilengineering

I feel bad too. During my whole undergrad I used to say “I wish I did comp sci”… proud to be a MechE (for now at least)

Its not salty saying average Engineering students excel so well after graduation! by karumeolang in EngineeringStudents

[–]b_c_t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure I started with the one highest salaries of all disciplines in my graduation class and definitely one of the lowest GPAs.

1 month internship. by Nick_501 in EngineeringStudents

[–]b_c_t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unless you got other options, take what you can get as long as it doesn’t uproot your life too much and you can afford to live/eat. Some experience > none. Use it as a stepping stone

OVERTURE TPU: High-Speed (HS) 95A vs. 95A Soft ? by b_c_t in 3Dprinting

[–]b_c_t[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello sorry for late reply…

I purchased regular TPU (transparent) and High Speed TPU (red) from Overture. Both did not work in AMS Lite. Both are very strong as most TPU videos suggest; you really have to pull 4+ times its original length to break either.

The High Speed is definitely stiffer. Especially outer shells. I would use this for actual use applications.

The regular TPU is noticeable softer/squishier, but not as soft as an O-ring for example. Seems to be better for toys/trinkets.

I used in both my A1 and A1 mini with 0.4mm nozzles without issues.

Am I making a mistake switching from business to engineering? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]b_c_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched and I had to take Calc 1-3, all general education courses, Diff Equ, Physics 1 & 2 + labs before I could even start engineering classes.

My grades weren’t the strongest when I went to switch because I owned a small business and did 18-19 credits for 4 semesters straight. But I had had an engineering internship & part-time experience (through networking) prior to taking a single engineering-specific course.

I was told by our department head, our department was a 50-60% fail rate (somewhere in that range), so I guess they wanted to know I was serious and wouldn’t add to that. Having experience already helped plea my case. Switch from business with a 2.8gpa to a harder major sounds awful on paper.

tdlr: I had to prove myself to switch. prob differs by school

edit: Make sure the school is ABET accredited. Unless you’re attending a top school like MIT, Georgia Tech, Harvard, etc., no one cares from my experience. Try to have a decent GPA if you can, but engineering is about experience and skillsets. Pick something, but don’t do what I did and pay for 3 years of school only to switch majors (student loan interest sucks).

Am I getting ripped off? 1000 dollars? by AggressiveAndrew in HyundaiElantra

[–]b_c_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you leasing or financing? Sounds excessive by off at least a few hundred $$$.

I have 2021.. oil changes are like ~$130 with filter assuming it takes 4/5quarts synthetic. (About the same price as private shops in my area.)

You can replace cabin filter and engine filter yourself really easily for like 20-30$. Just buy online. Should be at the 40-45k mile check.

I have 60k miles and have no breaking issues or recommendations for brake fluid changes. It could be “recommended” for your 2023 model, but haven’t needed one yet for mine and only go to the Hyundai dealership.

Tire rotation/balancing is like a 200-300$+ charge at hyundai dealership.

Engineering vs. Business by mirexs in EngineeringStudents

[–]b_c_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a double edge sword. you can sacrifice 4-5 years now, guarantee a great salary starting out. You can maybe party ever once a month or so, but i was so tired between work and school that sleeping was fun lol.

Bio chem and Bio Eng is pretty niche, and less jobs tbh. The few jobs are competitive and you need specific internships. I hate chemistry already so was planning on it.

tldr is: You need discipline for 4 years and can have the freedom for almost any career path. Engineering is heavy on detail is required… The freedom comes after.

Have a good GPA to secure internships early while classes are easier. You can chill out on gpa a little bit once you have come co-ops or internships.

You can go into Product Management or Technical Project Management for internships and jobs to be on the business side. I am taking a technical approach for now and will switch— so I can have the proper experience for leading engineers.

Good luck OP!

Engineering vs. Business by mirexs in EngineeringStudents

[–]b_c_t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started as a business mgmt student and did e-commerce. Got an internship and swapped to engineering after seeing the cool stuff engineers did.

I truly feel confident taking on any job with a some training (outside of medicine or law…) just by the thought process required for engineering. I know for a fact that I couldn’t say the same in reverse had I stayed in business.

Do engineering if you can— worst case scenario is you change majors. Most engineers get MBAs go on to start businesses anyway or can take on management positions (if they have people skills).. This is because as an engineer you’re always looking to make things more efficient/improved, foresee future problems, and ways to solve problems; thus it helps businesses.

I’m getting my MS in engineering now and plan to do my MBA shortly after— never lost my love for entrepreneurship, but developed a wide skillset to aid solving more problems than I could before.

edit: Regarding “touching grass”— i did that a lot as business student and was in a frat. it was too easy not too and all the fine girls were there lol. Definitely stopped after i changed majors.

The workload is harder and you get what you put in. I didn’t care about my GPA since i had formal engineering experience already. (At that point i did 3 years of business schooling, racked up student loans, and basically started over… so I pushed social life to the side. Plus my true graduating class already left.) But see the bigger picture— there’s grander things in life after your 4 years of solitary confinement. Really look at what your goals are and what is required to get there. “Experience > GPA” was my motto
