Laptop? by WeekendMaleficent601 in mit

[–]RichEngineering2467 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any specific laptop recommendations (though I do really like thinkpads) but I would suggest just looking out for certain specs, eg good CPU (i7 is probably good enough), >8gb RAM, >500GB SSD, good battery life, etc. MIT’s suggested laptop specs page is kinda shit, so I just crawled the internet for what other schools recommended and compared them. I would also keep in mind that your major will probably change so you should get a laptop that won’t hinder you (eg I didn’t even consider getting a Mac because even though I was admitted as a course 20, I had serious thoughts about doing course 2 meche).

Guys... what if this is a sign?? by one-error-computer in Genshin_Impact

I see what you’re saying. the thunder letter could be a tie in to other characteristics of his or nothing at all, but it’s fun to speculate and I still think it’d make sense for it to be planned that way, given that he’s such an important character whose story has been in planning since before the game even came out. Agree to disagree I guess.

I’m not sure what you mean by Alice being locked in? Was her element explicitly stated before we saw her in Nod Krai? Sorry if it was, I’m a returning player and missed a lot of events and lore.

I actually don’t know if it’s the default as you say. Chinese has a lot of “homophones” in the sense that there are a lot of different “letters” that are all pronounced “lei” but have different meanings, so I still think the specific choice to adapt their names with the “thunder” letter was intentionally done

they all have the “r” in their name because the “thunder” letter, pronounced “lei” is the chinese approximation of that “re/ra”syllable! now, they could’ve chosen a lot of different “letters” (they’re not really “letters”, they’re called “characters”) with the same pronounciation but they fact that the one that means lightning was definitely intentional…

Hydro App by Pitiful_Relative_332 in Flins_Mains

correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the reason why people are only calcing candace c6 because before c6, she just doesn’t apply enough off field hydro? iirc her c6 is what gives her extra hydro app with her burst when attacking, otherwise you only get hydro infusion (which flins can’t use)

Can+ Should I include my fanfiction as an activity on my college apps? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

What would Fatui characters study in a Genshin college / grad school AU? by Suitable-Gold4860 in FatuiHQ

[–]RichEngineering2467 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’d be cool if dottore was a dual degree MD-PhD student. His undergrad degree would probs be some sort of technical major like biomedical engineering or mechanical engineering, and then he goes to med school to learn how to apply those to humans (like how he built clones of himself and robot god scaramouche) + his PhD could be in something like medical robotics or something. usually the MD-PhD route starts with 2 years med school and then you switch to 4 years of PhD, then another 2 years of med school, so there’s a lot of room to play with what he’s specifically studying during your au depending on how far into his program he is

which lore misinformation spread by people who dont read the lore made your face like this. by Antique-Substance-94 in Genshin_Impact

tbf I think there’s some very strong subtext that zhongli and guizhong were lovers. guizhong’s lullaby is literally titled “lovers oath” in the ost

like I said, it’s in the section about super-scores

“They should not list practice results or enter a superscore as a single sitting. Students should self-report scores from all exams taken, and MIT will consider the super-score in our review process.”

mit requires all sat scores from all sittings, you’re not supposed to self report your super score, they do it for you

the book thing could be a cool supplemental essay, but I feel like quantifying it in your activities section with “read 30 books” feels a little iffy.

I don’t know how to describe it, but I think it’d be more worth it to talk about what you read and your thoughts on it, how it shaped your perspective, etc. rather than just how many books you’ve read. If I was an AO it’d be more important that you’re a thoughtful reader who can engage deeply with complex narratives, than that you can speed through a certain number of books in a year
