I bought a pair of wireless Bluetooth earbuds on amazon for.... ~$35 and it was the best purchase I’ve ever made. It’s great because they’re still connected to each other by a wire so you can’t lose them was easily, and they’re magnetic so you can wear them like a necklace so you don’t lose them. The battery life is GREAT. there’s even an in-line volume control. They use a micro USB port for charging so no proprietary apple charging bullshit like the AirPods. They’re noise cancelling and the sound quality is more than enough and they’re so comfortable. I would NEVER buy AirPods. Link below.

Thanks for the suggestion! We definitely have athletics on our radar, and would love to hear feedback about ways athletic information (scores, schedules, etc) could be incorporated to make the MSU App more useful.

I should also mention: the Michigan State Spartans app (iOS App Store, Google Play Store) is the official app for MSU Athletics.

General FYI to bus users: If you have an Android phone, the app "SpartaRide" on the play store acts as an (almost) real time bus tracker.

Yep! Here's our current store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/492410/Rogues_Like_Us/

We'd like to bring it to consoles in the future as well, on that front our plan is to put it on the Xbox One first

The CSE 231 syllabus shows the textbook title in the "Required Course Material" section. I got the textbook PDF for free from libgen.

Just so you know, you won't need to read the textbook for this course. The online lecture videos are great, and you won't have time read + take notes from the textbook every week.

For those that want a fair analysis of CRT and other contemporary frameworks like it, check out the book Cynical Theories by Pluckrose and Lindsay. They do an excellent job of describing the underpinning philosophy behind these movements and take care to point out some of the things CRT and the like actually do get right.

Those of you who think you have a good grasp on CRT would do well to check it out so you can have a more grounded understanding in the philosophy behind it.

Those of you who are critical of CRT would do well to check it out so you can actually know what you’re critiquing and not just throw around criticism so casually.

I agree with you that its good in theory. However, you dont seem to have a very firm grasp on the economics of your idea. You realize that we import almost all of the rare earth metals required for solar panels, right? You realize that theres almost no profitable US solar company. There has been billions of taxpayer dollars used to fund solar projects over the last decade and a vast number are out of business. We have thrown money at this for years and repeatedly failed. Why should we continue to repeat the same mistakes?

I use my personal e-mail for the account, but to get the student discount I had to verify my MSU e-mail.

Just go to this link, click 'Get Premium', and then log into your Spotify account. After that it should take you through the steps of verifying your MSU email address, and then ask for your card info. After that, you're all set. Should take like 30 seconds.

You can use anything as long as you have a compiler. I personally really like Visual Studio Code (modern code editor with some IDE features), so I'd recommend checking it out.

Shoot, did it not come up when searching for it? I'll have to look into that, here's a link to the app on the play store:

Let me know what you think!

if you use a VPN often enough, buy a year of Private Internet Access. Plus they don't store any tracking data

Caring is sharing, already have mine and I'm pumped for the Oregon tailgate and game.

I haven't hit a beer with this bong yet, but it feels great and no leaks when I cleaned it out w/ soap and water.

Traffic is not constant. Either tell the people to get out of the way or just wait for the traffic to pass so you can pass them.

If you're so impatient, get one of these.

Very against MSU policy but take out your screen and buy this:

Your roommates will thank you. Just don't let your RA see it

I had one like this last year and someone cut through it and stole my bike

Something like this that can’t be cut through

This is the personal alarm I use. Personally as a man, I love this personal alarm. I loop it through my belt loop on the front right of my pants and feed it into my pocket. It's ungodly loud and annoying. So people will hear it from anywhere, even in a loud club or bar. I use it for personal safety if I'm walking around, and for while I'm riding my E-Bike, for if I crash.

This is the pepper spray I recommend. It's foam pepper spray which is generally one of the best types to use. Unlike the liquid kind, it comes out in a foam and covers the person. Just don't blow into the wind because it'll blow back onto you and you'll be pepper spraying yourself. That'll happen with any type of pepper spray, but this one is good.

This might just be me, but I'd go with a laptop that has the smallest screen possible (around 13") because they're super easy to carry around, and then I'd just invest in a 27-30" monitor to have back at the dorm/apartment to hook up to. Something like this.

Yeah it’s like a little hole or notch on the side of the laptop the lock goes into, much like:

So if you get anki from the Apple story it’s $25 but it’s free to install it on your laptop. It’s easier to use on your laptop anyway. Just google anki download. It should be the one with the start. https://apps.ankiweb.net/ There is also a subreddit for it. r/anki

I've used Chegg a ton and have had no issues.. just A) use a VPN, B) Use Privacy.com or some other virtual credit card company, and C) don't use any real information. You'll be fine.

The Safety Equipment and if you do go out on the ice, make sure others know you're going to do that and maybe bring a friend who can watch from the shore or a little bit of a distance away incase you fall in. Would suggest not to crowd a single spot on the ice. You know, be smart about it.

They almost entirely use Jupiter notebooks for the CMSE classes (some text edditor stuff like atom in 202). If you want to get a head start I would download the anaconda distribution and mess around. Maybe get a basic python program to run. They do start you off assuming you don't know any programing though so don't panic. It is always nice though if you know some programing.

They make portable bidets. I bought one on Amazon and bring it with me wherever I go.

Thank you for this vitally important question that cuts right to the heart of why I am running.

I take the great gnome threat seriously. Should I be elected, one of my first acts will be to require all residents to be issued a copy of this book, which I keep close by at all times: https://www.amazon.com/How-Survive-Garden-Gnome-Attack/dp/158008463X

Thank you again for your question, and stay safe my friend.

Okay, so here is the setup. I have a Dell 15-bs662tu which has read/write of 1000/1000. I have a 10-days old MacBook Air M1 in my house, an iPhone 12, and TpLink Archer A7 AC1750 for my router. I use this cable (3 of them) UGREEN Cat 8 Ethernet Cable for internet. Plus another cable that comes with my router https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0875VL1CJ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_NTDE9R40K8YZ664CG649?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

That being the setup, I get around 200 on wifi from router and 250 from wired connection. The stellar guy had come and thoroughly checked everything and somehow managed to get between 400-700 on his laptop (which is also the grounds on which they claim the company's equipment is fine) by running the speedtest.net terminal test.

After all this, I have a reason to believe I deserve a 500mbps or more.

Just an FYI, you can register your bike with msupd. I'm fact, I think it's required of all bikes on campus. (not that its ever really helped with bike theft) . Link below: https://police.msu.edu/parking-services/permits/

Scroll down to "bicycles" and click the link to take you to the form. Unfortunately the best way to deter bike theft is to buy a nice ulock. I have the kyrptonite "fuhgettaboudit" as it is the thickest u lock on the market I believe (link below) Kryptonite New York Standard Heavy Duty Bicycle U Lock Bike Lock https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XCH21YH/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_Q09Z6QQMMY2WW32QBSKA

It's important to note that if a thief really wants your bike, they WILL take it. The ulock is only a deterrent, however it's thick and requires a lot of cutting to get into.

Yea, NetOps is going to charge you a butt ton just to perform that. You wanna get an Eithernet switch (not to be confused with a Ethernet Hub). There are different ones with different number of ports.

Hey, this is an awesome response!

I have been buying all kinds of stuff for weeks - very fun. Funnily enough I bought some Fjallraven convertibles last week - they arrived yesterday. Before they got here though I went to Dick’s (several days ago now) and bought the exact pants you mentioned with the intention of taking the Fjallraven’s back to Moosejaw but I may try them on first just for science…

My shirt/socks/pants are covered in permethrin, I’ve got 25% deet that I found at Home Depot I think, my Hoka hiking shoes are ready to hit some dirt for sure. So exciting!

I also run really really hot and I’m sure I’ll be shamed for this but I bought a personal air conditioner…

TORRAS Coolify Portable Air Conditioner Neck Fan, Hands Free Semiconductor Cooling Bladeless Fan, 4000 mAh Rechargeable Leafless Mini USB Fan for Outdoor/ Home/ Office, 3 Speeds, Brilliant Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08WWS5THR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_AW44TNZ85C70N7HR3JT5

Sounds like you need one of these, although you might already have one.

Did you let the water run for a little bit? Sometimes when sinks/showers aren't used for a while, it does this. Don't know if that's the case though. If that's not the case, here is a shower filter and I think it comes with the head. Here's a sink filter but you'll need to buy filters for when it gets dirty.

You could always take something like this and use it for clothes storage. Put it under the loft even. Even if the space is small, there's always ways to maximize it.

Get some tape, a jumbo sharpie or a kit of jumbo sharpies, and some construction paper so that you can write/draw memes on it and display it on your window. But regarding a tapestry, if you get something like this combined with some rope (there are other options I'm sure), I don't see why you couldn't turn the tapestry into a curtain to portion off the bed so you have a "escape" space.

Personally I don't have much trouble year round. I upgraded to a ebike with fat tires which means that while I can use it like any other bike, it tackles snow pretty easy. Yea winter will be a little harder but it's not impossible. Unless it's a big storm the roads are pretty clear and so are the bike paths unless a lot of snow is had. With some panniers you'll able to do your groceries pretty good. There are even some security bolts so that people can't steal your components like wheels and seats unless they have the special tools. I personally love commuting by e bike.

Those vents don't do a single thing. This will heat your dorm in less than 10 minutes.

And no, nobody cares if you're not allowed to have it. Just buy it.

I have this one because at the time of purchase the Xiaomi could only be found for $600 on aliexpress (it was sketchy + long wait time) whereas I could buy this Glion on amazon that is american made and comes with a 1 year warranty and have it shipped in 2 days. The Glion is great because it folds up nicely and it can stand up straight as well as it’s impossible to get a flat tire. I’ve read that flats on the Xiaomi are a nightmare to change. If I had to do it over and purchase one right now I would get the Xiaomi though especially since it’s only $400 on Amazon.

You still have time to order one from Amazon.

I’d wear a life jacket too. Maybe get some rope so one of us can help if you need it.

I was able to get the CSE 231 book for $46.99 on Amazon Rent last semester. Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/Practice-Computing-Using-Python-3rd/dp/0134379764/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1515611522&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=learning+python+enbody

Let me also say, the book wasn't very good - there are several other places you can learn the language from. The only reason I got the book was because all of the exam questions came directly from the text. Hope this helps.

Large for 28.71 here. Won't fit me but maybe someone else will like it!

its been awhile since ive been in a dorm. i understand your whole "why risk it" attitude. make him get one of these

I wouldn't consider myself a coffee connoisseur but rather I base my taste on what others think. This stuff is delicious (or that's what they think), the robusta sweetens the espresso while increasing its potency. Robusta is considered a lower grade strain but the Italians love lavazza and they invented espresso so they must know something that I don't.

The previous owner of my last car just left it there when he sold it, so I don't know where he bought it. It's a Sheffield No12000, and it's not too expensive.

Edit: Here's the website for Sheffield Multi-Tools

one with a remote control is a super nice thing to have. something like this. not sure if this model itself is any good but you get the idea. http://www.amazon.com/Lasko-3542-Cyclone-Remote-Control/dp/B001VE936Q/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1407746724&sr=8-7&keywords=fans+with+remote+control

Amazon has a pretty good one; you could also check out the university stores across from RHS on Service Road -- they tend to have things like that for pretty cheap. You could always head out to a crafts store and buy the fabric & stitch it together yourself, too, but that'd probably be about as expensive as amazon.

Just emulate them. This thing works brilliantly for using a controller with PJ64. We had some pretty epic mario kart tournaments in the atrium of the BPS building with those last year.
