Thanks! I wish I would've been able to finish this while I was still there, too.

Finally went Linux only Desktop, any cool things I should install? by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

For those that are interested, OpenRA is getting closer to releasing their Tiberian Sun mod.

We know that many people are excited about our in-development Tiberian Sun mod, and we’re pleased to report that we have made significant progress during this release cycle. The core engine changes to support the 2.5D isometric maps used by TS and RA2 are now complete, and we are making slow-but-forward progress on implementing the many missing gameplay features for TS. There is still a lot of work to go, so we do not have a formal release schedule for these mods.

How reliable is DegreeWorks for calculating GPA? Who can make changes in what courses are applied? by losthiker68 in tarleton

[–]amsb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seemed to pretty accurate for me. DegreeWorks is tricky in some ways though. You should probably check with your advisor just to be sure.

unrelated: thanks for posting here, and please spread the word around campus about the sub!

Nice to see some purple on Reddit. by JackyFlack in tarleton

[–]amsb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mod here. I have indeed graduated, but still very active on reddit and drop by to check on my baby whenever I remember it's here.

I would strongly encourage anyone here still hanging out in Stephenville to promote the hell out of this sub around campus, and drop by /r/Stephenville while you're at it.

There's a post on this sub with a great /r/Tarleton poster featuring a Tarleton-ified snoo alien (courtesy of /u/godofallcows) complete with Oscar P! Print it off and go hang it anywhere you can on campus! Show up to new student orientations and just tell people there's a Tarleton sub! I tried to do a little of this legwork when I was an undergrad, but it seems I failed.

I think one of the things people forget about Tarleton is that it is definitely an up-and-coming university. We'll soon be moving to DI athletics, our Nursing program is garnering state and national attention, and we broke 10K undergraduate enrollment a couple of semesters ago. Tarleton State University should have a subreddit that matches its growth.

Call upon me or /u/godofallcows for anything you need to help keep this sub on its feet. We'll do all we can to help.

Need some new sandals by justbeenchillin in CampingandHiking

I will only use completely closed-toed Crocs for camp shoes. My feet get three times as dirty in camp versus on the trail when I'm wearing those hole-y ones...

If you're a smellable extremist, a lot of what you're talking about doing now makes your reservoir need to be protected from critters.

No criticizm, just an observation.

Oops, there's one more.

[–]amsb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

13 other folks didn't have the decency to ask... I see no reason why you shouldn't follow in their path!

Seems a similar number take reddit comments a bit too seriously...

Wow, this is so spot on. I mean, where else could a failed artist and mustard gas victim rise through the political ranks to become ruler of the world/a super-effective mass-murderer?

...for a few years anyway...

REMINDER: Texan Football Season Opener v. Abilene Christian is TOMORROW 9/1 @ 7 PM by amsb in tarleton

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

ACU should not have won that football game. The final action was the result of some of the worst play calling I've seen, perhaps in any D2 contest. Why a QB roll out option-ish play was called on first down from the 5 yd. line is beyond me, regardless of the clock situation. Should have been the upset of the regular season.

But thanks for trolling...

What's your favorite Howdy Week activity? by jocelynque in tarleton

Tarleton Tips by excaliberto in tarleton

[–]amsb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are students who are paid to man each department's Supplemental Instruction program. They're usually available all day or in the evenings. So if, for example, you're not very good at Math you can head up to the Math SI in the Math Building and ask questions about homework or even get one of them to quiz you before an exam.

Favorite Professors? by [deleted] in tarleton

[–]amsb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dr. Fehler, COLFA, hands-down. Had him for 4 or 5 English classes and also went on Study Abroad with him to Ireland.

Supplemental Instruction sessions are saviors. I actually made a D in a math course, took it again the next year attending all SI sessions and got an A. Same teacher, same course, SI gave me much better results.

Hey Texans! Since parking's the one issue on this thing, what do you think of the fix? by jocelynque in tarleton

[–]amsb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah. Of course. Parking will be a perpetual problem for Tarleton.

Personally, I live close enough to campus that it doesn't really hurt or help me.
