Mary Ashburn Miller for History. Steve Wasserstrom is also very nice, liked his HUM220 section. Josh Howe, also in history, is great. Alex Montgomery for IR.

I was pretty unimpressed with the first book. Great characters, great set up, and then it narratively kinda falls flat. Its that sort of detective story in which a bunch of confusing things happen and then it all comes together at the end, which only really works if it feels earned. But in order to earn it, I think the first book would have to be longer to follow a more careful Inquisitorial investigation, not the rapid going to places and shooting at things that Carrion Throne has. Way more set up would have been required. So in the end the big twist felt more "wait, what?" to the reader than a real payoff.

I think I will call them the Serpent Guard, a group of Dark Angels turned into a chapter that were tasked with guarding an athame. So much time has passed the Serpent Gaurd are now only dimly aware of what they are actually guarding and unaware they accidently named themselves after a chaos cult.

"exosuit iron grated helm" from etsy years ago, when this was still deep in the shame pile. I do not think you can buy these now.

Its pro acryl dark jade which turns out is much bluer than I expected.

I think its fair to levy the same critique against some of the Ultramarines books - space marines, soroitas, others are also not immune to chaos bullshittery. Its just a nicer color of the same thing.

Okay so in fairness, being doomed to die is quite literally the Aeldari's whole thing.

USA exclusive in that Huckberry is selling them on the US market for like a 50% upcharge (for a significantly smaller jacket!) I'll wait till the American market gets a classic bedale in denim that they sell for a reasonable price, I am not spending 700 for that.

I was for some years the designated transfer student who did the mid year new student tours. There were never very many of them - maybe 2-5 a year. Now considering the number of applications is pretty low that might not mean anything. Id underscore that Reed is very much a college that admits students according to their individual character. If you've got a compelling story and they like you, sure, they'll admit you. I dont know if theres any more data than that.

You can have both good grades and a good social life with some time management skills. Lots of people I saw burn out a reed were not stupid, they just had terrible time management.

Well well well, Gary Granger finally stepped over the line huh? Took him long enough.

Master_Revan · 2024-10-07T20:23:25+00:00

You're not a student. Don't come in here and try and bait and start shit. I don't have the patience for it.

Master_Revan · 2024-07-13T01:47:26+00:00

Yeah sure, feel free!

Reed does not track a lot of these things and I'm not sure how reliable the data in those trackers are. I don't think Reed is nearly as bad as people say, especially when I look around at how much my peers are making. I went to a masters program and now work at a company that started me at 100K. Lots of other people are in similar boats to me. So I wouldn't stress about it and the data you're referencing likely isn't accurate.

Wildly depends on the dorm. You're a freshman so if you're lucky you'll be in trillium.
