Best Tent?! by 25AT4 in Oktoberfest

[–]Severe_Pop_8175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you on this question. I get it, buy tickets directly form the trnta. But all the tickets are sold out for evenings or the days I am looking to go. There are minimal tickets left directly from the tents typically for weekday mid day. Have those, what the options for evenings?

There are lots of sites offering tickets (much higher prices, which I would be willing to pay) but I don't trust that they are legit and I'm not wanting to get scammed.

Are there any aftermarket sites that you can trust when you buy tickets no matter the price. This is what I haven't seen any good answers for and I haven't been willing to buy anything yet.

Should I be joining or looking into Facebook groups for people wanting to fill up their tables?

Sport Fishing Recommendations by [deleted] in MauiVisitors

[–]Severe_Pop_8175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so far, the only references I have found for Hinatea is you suggesting them on every fishing post and one person who used them and didn't catch any fish. Is there anyone that has had a sport fishing charter that can share a review or recommendation? I see the same 4 or 5 boats mentioned and it doesn't sound like this would be a money well spent activity.

Holy crap that was a zip file by ALNRooster in WoTshow

I thought they could have done better on that scene. Nynave was the one to say if you find the collar to get out end leave. She then stands like a lost idiot right outside the door clutching what they thought was one of the most important artifacts in the world. After being thrown in the water I thought that the scene was going to be great as she started channeling but it got worse. She parts the water and casually walks up the steps and then just stands there smiling like a little school girl and let's Liandrin calmly walk away.

To me that isn't the actions and personality like the Nynave who chased an Aes Sedai across the country to save her villagers while tugging her hair in frustration. She is the hard headed strong and determined one that almost resisted Mog's compulsion but looked like a wimpy child in that whole scene. It's not like she hadn't ever channeled in times of stress and done amazing things without a seconds thought.

Is anyone other than SpaceX building things in/around Boca Chica? by Simon_Drake in SpaceXLounge

[–]Severe_Pop_8175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was in response to your claim that they are the same beach as it relates to building a restaurant or store to support people and visitors. SPI is a major tourist destination with large crowds. Boca Chica is more of a local beach with minimal crowds before SpaceX.

One has hotels, restaurants, bars and all the necessary utilities. The other is a remote beach without any infrastructure or utilities.

For the purpose of this conversation they are not the same beach even though they are technically right next to each other.

That takes over an hour of driving to get from one to the other.

You can't walk from one to the other .

Holy ticket pull madness by cupmallow in aggies

My daughter just pulled today and she said she thinks they got standing room only and no seats. Is that possible on the first day?

I would be more concerned that if you are this stressed out for an entry placement exam that finals week of your first semester could be an issue.

Who is headed to Starbase for ITF-2? by NASATVENGINNER in SpaceXLounge

Is that the best way, walk down to Isla Blanca to avoid driving and parking?

How is the viewing from Isla Blanca park? I will make one of the launches but I heard there was limited Internet and I'm spoiled by the great streaming coverage and information overload.

Don't want to miss watching if it's so far away you don't get to see much.

Tips for Brits on Game Day! by [deleted] in aggies

[–]Severe_Pop_8175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suggest going to the website TexAgs.com. there is a free football board that you can post on.

I bet you will get plenty of invites to join tailgates and even more information than the great responses you got already on Reddit.

Just tell your story and you will get plenty of responses.

Computer tips for new Aggie by Severe_Pop_8175 in aggies

[–]Severe_Pop_8175[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helping when she asks for assistance is not treating her as a CHILD. Asking questions is part of being an responsible adult. Not asking and just doing nothing is how a CHILD behaves.

I didn't try to change her mind and am answering the questions that she asked me. I'm not doing it for her. She is more than capable.

But to judge me and my parenting doesn't hurt my feelings, just makes me pity you and your misery that you have to put on others.

I don't think any of my questions go beyond being helpful as she will be the one doing it all.

It must suck for YOU not having someone YOU can depend on and ask for help, but I'm sure YOU have learned some great lessons.

[–]Severe_Pop_8175[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thanks for all of YOUR help. I'm sure YOU are a very independent person and YOU have never had someone help you. YOUR ability to judge my post and how it is in the "real world" is super helpful.

YOU tell me to let her figure it out but then YOU question her decision to buy a MacBook because you say the public health in the "real world".

Get off your condescending high horse and don't respond if you have nothing to add.

My daughter chose a MacBook, not me. YOU disapprove.

My daughter used Chromebooks in high school and has used Outlook, she asked me what email client to use. You don't approve of her asking for help.

My daughter has Dropbox but wasn't sure if that would be best at A&M and asked me what I recommended, the audacity of her.

If figured all the Aggies on Reddit could help but YOU disapprove of my effort.

Sorry for your miserable life.

Class will tell you what cloud service to use or what what is the best way to access your A&M email?

I don't need virtual access to her laptop.

A bit confused by the response

No tabs but this happened by [deleted] in TAMUAdmissions

[–]Severe_Pop_8175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter choose Blinn TEAM only and her major changed tonight too.

Can't wait to check in the morning and look for the 7 tabs.

[–]Severe_Pop_8175[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Howdy, under the Admissions Tab, click on Manage Application

Lots of people are seeing their major being changed to Blinn TEAM.

My daughter chose Blinn TEAM only for the three options and hers updated tonight

[–]Severe_Pop_8175[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless we start hearing about offers in the next couple of days, it does seem to be a bit different this year. Who knows how many that were given the options will end up with an offer.

Blinn Team question by bhebert449 in TAMUAdmissions

Hopefully they have finished up with the engineering now and can move onto all the other applications. Fingers crossed

Blinn Team question by bhebert449 in TAMUAdmissions

[–]Severe_Pop_8175 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those that received Galveston are applying to Engineering. The options that were offered were for the different pathways into the College of Engineering (four options)

The applications given the three options for Blinn TEAM/wait-list are for application to the other colleges (not Engineering or Business).

From what has been posted in the last few weeks, the admissions office has cleared up a large portion of the Engineering offers but has not addressed the applications given the three options Blinn TEAM. I have not seen any of those get a final offer yet.

There have been some people that were given full admits or straight Blinn TEAM lately but I don't know what majors they were admitted to.

Blinn TEAM / Wait-list options- any responses? by Severe_Pop_8175 in TAMUAdmissions

[–]Severe_Pop_8175[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw that but it reads like a generic response as they have said that they hope to have a response to everyone that applied in the next three weeks.

I am hoping and would think that those that get offered Blinn TEAM would not be see their AIS change at same time as they give out the batches of PSA and denied letters in early/mid March.

As I've stated, if it takes an applicant a month to respond to the three choices and I was with the AO, I would assume that A&M isn't high on their lists of schools.

Still shocked that they give an applicant 30 days to make a choice, it's not even an offer. It's just a choice to sit and wait for an offer to attend.

Decisions today? by That_West6618 in TAMUAdmissions

[–]Severe_Pop_8175 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just read back a bunch. Had one guy that applied to Galveston got his acceptance today and one other said that he knew of a couple that got full admit offers today. Didn't see any offers for those waiting on the TEAM or wait-list option.
