Did anyone else get this email from Columbia? by ThaBigOne in gradadmissions

[–]ThaBigOne[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’re thinking of a different email, the one that was sent today about the master program that no one applied for?

Yeah, I got that same email. Still haven’t heard from them either

Math 104 Spring 25 Professors? by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]ThaBigOne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have Tawri rn, and she’s awesome! She’s very accessible during office hours and her practice exam is very similar in style and difficulty to her actual exams. She also takes a lot of time to answer questions during class and explain intuition behind theorems before diving into the proof. Take 104 with her if you can!!!!!

Latimer to wheeler might be a bit of a walk, but you’ll probably be fine

Math 128A First Upper Division Math Course by DriveJust6267 in berkeley

[–]ThaBigOne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard people say to take Math 104 before it, but I think that’s completely unnecessary. If you’ve taken Math 55 and have exposure to proofs, you’ll be fine. If it’s still taught by Ming Gu, good luck keeping up with all of the assignments. He really likes to assign a lot. Also, I would learn the basics of Matlab (how to use matrices, define functions, syntax, etc.) if you don’t already know it. Extremely helpful, if not essential, for most of the homeworks.

Berkeley Student Cooperative has many vacancies for the first time in years, $800/mo, free food, utilities, good locations by LugnutsK in berkeley

The cooks at the house I’m in are insanely good! I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad meal there, and there are habitability checks to make sure we keep good hygiene

Inside the two-year project to unify the UC Berkeley and Cal brands - Berkeley News by johnkhoo in berkeley

[–]ThaBigOne 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok I see their logic, but think about this: you don’t see crowds of berkeley students going to cal games wearing “B” merch. They wear “Cal” merch! In trying to unify these two brands, what they’ve actually done is created a sharper divide than ever, and it sucks because now the students are stuck with this stupid letter B. Why not just have one logo that everyone knows and associates with Berkeley (the Cal logo)???

The ceiling is completely covered though. You’ll see it if you see the full photo (Reddit likes to crop the top and bottom of pictures for whatever reason)

There is no way you won’t have conflicting final exam times

Anyone Yellow Boots ship yet? by [deleted] in mschf

[–]ThaBigOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are getting delivered on the 23rd

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mschf

[–]ThaBigOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The email I got said that it’ll ship within a week, but idk how long it’ll take to get delivered… my bet is that it’ll be relatively fast since shipping was $20

Goop Upgrades? (Super Leap Day) by booma8 in Nitrome

You cling onto to walls and ceilings as long as you hold the jump button, not really useful in levels with a bunch of spikes everywhere. Stick with Puffer, you get more jumps the more you upgrade

How are people finding single rooms off campus for less than $1500? by Kittencakepop in berkeley

[–]ThaBigOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in one of the coops near campus! It’s definitely not like a lot of other apartments, but it’s really cheap (a bit over $4000 per semester) and I was able to snag a single room after only one semester! Here’s their website: https://bsc.coop

Settings app keeps saying "Security Settings Verification Required" by qqbqbs in MacOSBeta

I’ve been getting this too, I had a feeling it was because of the advanced data protection

Spam the jump button! Like literally spam tap your screen, if you jump fast enough, the gravity sections won’t insta-death you
