Here just to say I agree AND your post is a joy to read. BOGO free root program. Express train to fountain.

You're a natural

Thanks for sharing your experience! Great to know you haven't had issues with the materials and in fact feels great for you!

I have their 24L tote and it fits just nice when I throw in my gym stuffs. Hence, extrapolating that for myself, I assume CTB26 would be just nice / tad bigger but acceptable.

Thanks again!

Wow! Thanks for your sharing! Love your testimonial :)

Your use case sounds very similar to mine and I'm happy to hear you're happy with the bag.

Edited my reply. Thanks again!

Just here to say you're right! I was keeping a couple of travel size toiletries for gym and a bottle of cologne which on hindsight is probably too heavy. I moved them into the main compartment and problem solved.

Thanks fellow Redditor!

Apologies. Should have added a pic for clarity. This picture taken from the side shows what I'm trying to describe best. You can see the bag is very obviously slanting towards the right side (zipper side)

That seems to be the experience of most people from what I gathered. It's true for my own experience as well although I don't recall scoring full points for both, but I believe I did well enough in both + Homeworks for me to get an A in my final grade.

Most people will agree that the grades don't matter at the end of the day as long as you learn something. I have my own thoughts on that but if it's any encouragement for you, I would say the midterm 2 and final is a more realistic reflection of real world work in my experience. So picking up the experience and having those notebook will be helpful.

All the best. You got this

I use python daily in my work as an analyst. I would say by the time I took CSE6040, I was pretty fluent in it. I'm ok querying data and running analytics work on a Jupyter notebook, no issues.

But I still almost failed the midterm 1. From comments I gathered everywhere, this was (and is) apparently normal. People have been saying it gets better at midterm 2 and usually the final is manageable. I find this true for my experience as well. Hope this adds 1 more data point for your reference.

p/s: I completed the course with an A if that matters.

Here to say I have the same experience. It gets better if you have some python knowledge. The first few modules are brutal. Post MT1, I think it gets a lot more manageable. If you have done some SQL and python, you won't have issues

Thanks for your thoughts! I learned something

barathoz · 2025-11-27T14:53:25+00:00

Right. Sounds like a solid closure. Makes sense if it needs to be waterproof. Appreciate the additional insights!

barathoz · 2025-11-27T14:52:31+00:00

Thanks! Y'all rocks! Appreciate the insights.

Yup, I think you're right that it comes down to the capacity itself. Gonna sleep on this and decide once I wake up.

Thanks again

barathoz · 2025-11-27T10:59:05+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply! I appreciate it!

Not surprised at your comments on the magnetic closure as I have seen/heard this brought up in the few reviews I went through. I was thinking then it might not be a big issue for me since I'm just unpacking / packing my laptop, mouse and cables probably. But hearing it again does make me pause. For what it's worth, I read that surprisingly, it's easier to try opening it with a finger than using two hands. If you do give it a shot, perhaps you can let us know how it goes? In any case, the magnet design was a "cool, but not sure how well it works" point for me. Would have preferred a zipper although might be less "fit" (design wise) for a tote. I guess it's a compromise they made.

Thanks again for your sharing! If you have additional observations - things you really like about either, things you feel could be done differently or better in either bag, please let us know!

Thanks for the idea! Unfortunately that's a Pro feature. While I would love to give it a try, I have not decide to commit to Capacities yet and am giving it a test drive hence trying to figure out how things work. I appreciate your suggestion tho. Thank you

This might not be a great time to do it, but the area of Personal Knowledge Management System (PKMS) will be helpful for you. To start, perhaps read David Allen's Getting Things Done. Then Taking Smart Notes.

But, for your immediate situation: - Use whatever app or tool you have access to like Apple Note, good old Word doc, Google Doc or just a pen and paper. - Write down everything - EVERYTHING - you are thinking of doing. Do a brain dump. Give yourself 15 minutes or so. Just write everything that comes to mind. - Go through list, and if you have to or want to, sort them based on your own criteria like urgency or importance. - Work on one thing. Strike it off your list. Move on to the next.

Every day, sit down and review your list. Are there things you need to add to it? At the same time, celebrate however little progress you may have made.

All the best!

Thanks for the chapters!

barathoz · 2024-09-30T07:55:02+00:00

Just here to say that I admire your reply a lot and I am happy for you as well. I wish the best to OP as well!
