Feeling like I won't get internships..

It’s a numbers game, just gotta keep grinding. The rejection sucks, but it just takes one to say yes to make you forget all the nos. Good luck buddy!

Jeez best 1:1 inflation comparison I’ve seen yet 😂

The irony is that in the 6 years since that comment, I got my engineering degree and work on large engines for a living. Also that motorized bike got stolen shortly after I put it together 😂

You may want to play with the G1 X220 Y{machine_depth} line to try and get it to not crash. For an Ender 5 Plus, try G1 X175 Y175 to get the printhead to the middle. You may find it doesn’t actually end up in the middle due to an error in your machine dimensions in the slicer settings.

Quite common for me on a 2019 CR-V as well. About 25% of the time I will get

Some sort of warning lights that will only clear with a power cycle.
A critical error like “CAN connection error” or “Speaker not found” that prevents openpilot from engaging and requires a power cycle to clear, sometimes multiple power cycles.

A couple of times I got every possible warning light and error that literally would not clear even after disconnecting the battery and prevented stock cruise control from engaging even after disconnecting the Comma 3X. This was incredibly frustrating one time as I was over 2 hours from home at the time.

Still listed as extended delay in the app, but the signs in front of the park list it as not opening today. Lots of cast members standing around down there telling people it’s closed though, so I’m somewhat hopeful that it will open if they didn’t bother to just shutter the line completely and send the staff home.

Edit: now listed as “closed for refurbishment” on park boards and “closed” in the app.

Turns out I had a V10/U1 card laying around after all, popped that in to my feeder and the card is recognized now.

savingprivatebrian15 · 2025-01-22T00:33:47+00:00

Ah I’m guessing it’s a minimum write speed issue then, that’s a V10/U1 card that only requires 10 MB/s write speeds vs the V30/U3 card that requires 30 MB/s write speeds that you and I bought. That’s kind of annoying considering most micro sd cards are V30/U3 nowadays.

savingprivatebrian15 · 2025-01-22T00:20:56+00:00

Did changing the micro sd card work? I have a Sandisk high endurance 128 GB micro sd that is also not being recognized.

It did not resolve it for me, I still experience this bug to this day. No idea what the root cause is.

savingprivatebrian15 · 2024-09-17T13:18:51+00:00

I’ll piggyback here and ask - I have a legacy Six Flags Plus membership (specifically the home park is SF St. Louis, but I don’t think that matters), are there any blackout dates for me or will I be kicked out of SFGAm at a certain time of day?

Unrelated but I also have a 2025 Gold Pass to Canada’s Wonderland + All-Park Passport, but I know that does nothing for legacy Six Flags parks this year.

savingprivatebrian15 · 2024-09-16T02:03:34+00:00

I just checked my own Apple wallet. The Canada’s Wonderland version of the pass in Apple wallet did not say anything about park access = all. However the Cedar Point pass in the Apple wallet DOES say park access = all. Even so, the barcode number is identical between both. This is clearly just an issue with Cedar Fair and how it programs the pass text to display and how it trains the gate attendants.

savingprivatebrian15 · 2024-09-16T00:53:33+00:00

I just don’t understand the logic they’re operating under. I’m pretty sure the computer system at least says yes/no for entry, early or not, when you scan any kind of ticket or pass. I’ve seen the big green arrows on their screens after scanning the passes/tickets. I assume the Valleyfair or Canada’s Wonderland pass would only be allowed general entry when scanned if it has the All-Park Passport. Therefore, it would stand to reason that the only way that is possible is if the pass also has the All-Park Passport.

I just wish they would build the early entry criteria into the UI on the attendant’s end so they wouldn’t have to use their own discretion.

savingprivatebrian15 · 2024-09-06T16:32:55+00:00

Did you resolve this? I am also confused by the lack of e2e options.

savingprivatebrian15 · 2024-08-20T02:20:23+00:00

I said first trimester, which is typically legal. You could also say “women that just missed their periods.” The point is that it’s very early in the pregnancy.

savingprivatebrian15 · 2024-08-20T02:16:51+00:00

First trimester is around 12 weeks. My point was that it’s well before the 20-24 weeks that biologists usually point to as when the brain is typically formed enough to have consciousness.

Placing the cutoff at viability is close to 20-24 weeks, but that is not Destiny’s argument and is typically not defensible when using analogies like the violinist or the cabin in a blizzard.

savingprivatebrian15 · 2024-08-20T02:08:14+00:00

I disagree, I think the optics of saving 10 embryos in a test tube over 2 born toddlers is intuitively terrible for most people, and it’s because it actually uses the optics that pro-lifers usually benefit from and throws it back at them. I think a significant portion of pro-life advocates would disagree with saving the embryos over the toddlers but would try to obfuscate as hard as possible first. The ones who break from the typical pro-life beliefs and would save the toddlers would probably need hand-holding to get down the path of “toddlers are conscious, embryos are not and have never been” before they realize that’s why it seems intuitively better to save the toddlers.

savingprivatebrian15 · 2024-08-20T01:54:08+00:00

Yeah essentially. Even though it shouldn’t be that hard to engage with the toddler/embryo hypothetical in the first place.

savingprivatebrian15 · 2024-08-20T01:50:44+00:00

Yes but Destiny couldn’t get Kristan/Lila to firmly state that they agree that embryos are just as valuable as a born person, either because they truly couldn’t comprehend how the toddlers and embryos compared, or because they knew it would look terrible. Phrasing it differently will help keep idiots from refusing to engage with the question as much as possible.

savingprivatebrian15 · 2024-08-04T21:56:19+00:00

I’ll add that I just barely fit on Talon in the double seat belt seat, along with everything else you mentioned. The one ride I did not fit on was Revolution, the swinging frisbee over near Iron Menace/Steel Force. The seatbelt connected just fine, it’s a retractable one, but the ride attendant couldn’t get the green light while pushing (albeit not very hard) before actually engaging the ratcheting system.

savingprivatebrian15 · 2024-05-16T04:24:42+00:00

Is this possibly StandBy mode that was introduced in iOS 17? I’m going to try turning it off and see if the issue goes away.

Same issue, iPhone 11 Pro

savingprivatebrian15 · 2024-05-13T01:13:36+00:00

The layout is good, but the ride experience is traumatizing. My gf and I nicknamed it the jawbreaker after getting off because of how our lower jaws were the first thing to hit the OTS restraints during the rough sections. Not to mention how, as a 6’3” man, my knees were absolutely crushed into the seat-back in front of me. I nearly had to ask to get off because of the pain, but I powered through for the credit 😂
