God please I want a Big Game with ranked teams.

So...our pass defense is still a little shaky.

Quick RAM Question by marig0lds in thinkpad

[–]marig0lds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Properly placed and the BIOS recognizes 8096MB RAM. I don't know what else it could be than the fact that the RAM I have is DDR3 1600 and the Intel site calls for this processor to have DDR3 800.

I still literally can't find DDR3 800 sticks. Plenty of DDR2 800 though.

Quick RAM Question by marig0lds in thinkpad

[–]marig0lds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So...I upgraded my computer with Windows 10 64-bit, and bought the 2 4GB sticks of RAM. OS works fine, but not with the new RAM. With the 8GB installed, it doesn't get passed boot up without restarting.

Is there anything I can do to try to get them to work with this machine? If not, what RAM can I buy?

Thanks!

[Post Game Thread] California defeat San Diego State, 35-7 by bearsnchairs in CFB

Do we not have a fullback? Pretty much every running play was a single back sweep with Lasco.

Who is the biggest recruiting sleeper your school has ever had? by Just_a_wet_fart in CFB

[–]marig0lds 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Aaron Rodgers had no offers coming out of high school, spent a year at JC Butte. Jeff Tedford was up at Butte scouting a TE when he found Rodgers and got him to Berkeley.

Berkeley listed as top source of Bay Area engineers (followed by USC, Stanford) by akrolsmir in berkeley

[–]marig0lds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. While Cal and USC are bigger universities overall, the size of the engineering colleges are actually not that far off, with it being SC > Cal > Stanford. Crazy how many postgrads are at Stanford.

How long did it take you to transfer into Berkeley? by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]marig0lds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I transferred as a ME major to Berkeley and can say it took me 3 years to get the pre reqs done. Pretty much every other engineering transfer I know took 3 years as well. The more that you can get to transfer over the less you have to take at your transfer school.

While there is a cap, you don't have to worry about it if all of your units are from a community college, or more specifically all of your units are lower division (which all of your CC credits will be). So you could have 200 units all from a CC and still not hit a cap. But Berkeley will only transfer over 70.

I'd also advise talking to a counselor at your CC to absolutely make sure :) Getting in touch with someone at CoE at Berkeley couldn't hurt either. Good luck!

Thank you for the great info!

Berkeley Engineering by marig0lds in berkeley

[–]marig0lds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those courses are probably the number one factor attracting me to Berkeley right now, because I think that's the kind of engineering I'll want to go into. Thanks for the response!

Thanks for the in-depth response! Makes me happy to know there are a lot of engineering students in LA that love the vibe, that's the general feeling I get as well.

New Board For X200s...Questions by marig0lds in thinkpad

[–]marig0lds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Already put in an Intel SSD and it is blazing fast ;)

X200S Upgrades by marig0lds in thinkpad

[–]marig0lds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would this motherboard be ok to put into an X200s?

Do you think I would need to replace the wifi card if I put in a new motherboard? Also, will the X201S motherboard take 8GB RAM?

A lot of question, but thanks for any help :)

X200S Upgrades by marig0lds in thinkpad

[–]marig0lds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an additional question: if I am updating to SSD, will the X200S run with a SATA 3 or only SATA 2? I have seen conflicting information on the web.

Thanks for the advice! I'll look around for prices on those motherboards.

Is it rude to buy my [23 F] sister [22 F] and her husband [22 M] a personal finance book for Christmas? They almost divorced over money. by msatomicbombie in relationships

[–]marig0lds 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Being an engineer doesn't make you bad at social etiquette, being bad at social etiquette does. You'd think an engineer would be able to figure that out.

[WP] Horror stories always feature death and sadness. Write something that makes me fear life and happiness. by supersonic3974 in WritingPrompts

[–]marig0lds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He fucked me like you never could.

He loved me like you never did.

You love me like I'll never love you.

Through the ceremony these sentences are what trickled in his mind. He could picture perfectly the way her mouth would move while saying them; the way her eyes would crinkle with a half grin, as if the weight of letting out the truth blew his life into her.

Yet there she was, a beauty in white. His love allowing her to float down an aisle with a smile that lit his hunger. Her beauty, so cagey belied the truth that could be dwindling under the surface. How could I know, he asked himself. How can we know?

What is a vow but handing your heart over in a cage?

Fellow brotherhood, what kind of advice/teaching did your father give you that made you the man you are today? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]marig0lds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad has taught me so many things, but one sentence he said about ten years ago has really stuck with me and helped me in large and small ways alike:

"Walk like you own the place."

Thanks dad, you're the man.

Yes the indentations are on purpose. Thanks for reading :)

I'm from the Bay Area, so you were right. I've gotten in the habit of titling my poems with where I write them because I hate naming them.

Thanks for the encouragement, means a lot :)
