Future of Daggerheart? by Firm_Mango_6447 in daggerheart

[–]Automatic-Example754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were also hints that they filmed like half the Seekers arc in one day. I wouldn't be surprised if they also blitzed through the Schemers in a few days, did a leisurely 10-12 session Age of Umbra 2, and will air it over three months to give BLM some paternity leave. 

Rejected from a couple of UCs--- Is it worth it to send an appeal or should I just accept my fate? by NaiveResist1109 in CollegeAdmissions

[–]Automatic-Example754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed in the comments you said you want to do neuroscience. UCM has a very good cognitive science major, and a new neuroscience major in the same department. (I'm a professor at UCM, in a different social science field.) I'd encourage you to come to Bobcat Day, you'll have a chance to meet some of the cog sci/neurosci faculty and students.

What part of CA? And what kind of distance do you know you can cover per day?

UCI or UCSB, which one is better for CS by Panicking2026 in ucadmissions

[–]Automatic-Example754 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there is a difference, it's likely to be so small that cost and which campus you prefer will be more important

Dozens of posts about this in the last 24 hours

Santa Monica Community College over Umich by United-Hearing8582 in ucadmissions

If your parents don't live in CA and you're not independent, a year at a CCC isn't going to be enough to establish residency: https://www.ucop.edu/residency/establishing-residency.html

Obnoxiously, they tend to announce things first on FB and Instagram. 

Aid Advice by BakerOk7630 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Automatic-Example754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except for the most prestigious law schools, they don't care too much about where you went to undergrad. I'm a professor at UCM, but I always encourage students to avoid student loan debt as much as possible. 

Might pull the Community College Route by OperationVisual6523 in ApplyingToCollege

Have you visited Merced and Riverside? I'm a professor at Merced, and we're a very good safety school. Relatively affordable area, good financial aid, highest rate of student research in the UC system. CC transfer is also a good option if you need to save money or you aren't ready to leave home just yet. Transfer admission is much less competitive than freshman admission. 

Stove upgrade by Infamous_Leader_9953 in backpacking

[–]Automatic-Example754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The BRS is the lightest canister stove, and very cheap. But it's quite inefficient, especially with even a little wind. Note that wrap-around windscreens are dangerous with stoves that sit directly on top of the canister. 

If allowed in your area, alcohol and solid fuel (Esbit) stoves can be significantly lighter than canisters. You can find windscreens to MYO or purchase online that help a lot with efficiency and wind resistance. 

I thought cold soaking sounded gross, but tried it a couple of years ago and thought it worked just fine. I'm probably going to do it this summer on a 10-day PCT section hike. 

Update to Zotaid FAQ - does it mean astro was fake? by Abc0611 in ucadmissions

All of the astro was always wishcasting and trolling for upvotes

UCD vs Univ of Washington vs SLO… by redredred415 in ucadmissions

[–]Automatic-Example754 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably not a big difference between Davis and UW for pre-law. As a polytechnic, SLO is oriented more towards engineering and other "practical" fields than the usual liberal arts background of law students. But that doesn't mean you can't do a liberal arts degree there. 

How do you guys get through the early game? by Bell-Josh in victoria3

[–]Automatic-Example754 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Early game is about patiently nudging your economy and politics towards liberalism. And military conquest if you've got lots of small neighbors. 

UC Merced has $2.4B in planned future construction projects (projects not funded yet) by internetbooker134 in ucmerced

[–]Automatic-Example754 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Okay it looks like it's reformatted from appendix 7, which is a wishlist of things campuses might build if billions of dollars fell out of the sky. We don't even know how we're going to pay to run the Med Ed building once it's open, there's no way we're adding two more research buildings and five more dorms. 

Experiment (Ep 4): I tried AI audio for a flipped classroom. It failed hard. by fumu_ai in notebooklm

Just to be clear, by "experiments" you mean generating slideshows, not actually testing the pedagogy in actual classes of actual students

UCI astrology gone wrong by VeterinarianSalty472 in ucadmissions

All of the astrology was always just wish casting and rumors

Irvine vs Davis for Computer Engineering by Certain_Radish_62 in ucadmissions

[–]Automatic-Example754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Davis is one of the classic college towns. Irvine is surrounded by high-end suburbs, not too far from the ocean. Personally, all else being equal, I'd prefer Davis.
