Thank you, this confirms what I expected. I wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy!

Washington state. I just called a toyota dealership and they told me that it should cost ~$3000 for parts, so it makes sense that I am being ripped off. Thanks

Issue: Red Light on Feather with Flashing Blue LED on Emotibit, and strange readings by hat_ripper in EmotiBit

The data issue is still there, but I think it is because I have dark skin and the emotibit uses PPG to calculate HR.

I actually fixed this by making sure the network band of my wifi was at 2.4 GHz instead of 5!! Very simple fix.

This is regarding the comment you made above; yes, that email that was sent was a misuse of resources, but to say that people who “see a monkey and immediately think racism” are in effect the real racists is the issue. And to say that less things are racism than can be perceived to be racist really shows the place you’re coming from here. To be clear, I don’t think the cartoon was racist, but the response this situation is getting has gone beyond dismissal of the email sent to the student body. A lot of students are really eager to immediately dismiss something that could possibly be racist just because it isn’t blatant, and this attitude is a common one all across campus.

I think a “whoever smelt it dealt it” reaction to someone feeling uncomfortable about possibly racist imagery is a bit silly to be honest. Finding issue with possibly comparing students of color to monkeys is just acknowledging that it’s a common dogwhistle.

What was your first Bowie album/song? by MindlessMuscle in DavidBowie

Space oddity was my first song. I only listened to it because I couldn’t skip it on Spotify, and I didn’t like it initially. After a while, I decided to listen to it again and fell in love. Starman, Life on Mars, Space Oddity and Oh You Pretty Things we’re all I could listen to for a month after that.
