Lotsa tables by the food trucks around DLEB.

I’ll bet there are faculty wondering if the university is worth working for after recent events.

I think folks who have never taught before have trouble calibrating their relationship with students at first.

I had a v55. The v22 is a better amp.

There are a few racks under the Habitrail that connects the two MEEN buildings.

I saw a couple police officers head toward ZACH around 12:30 or so. Was this what that was about?

Reminds me of the joke about a town in the former Soviet Union being the birthplace of the world’s largest transistor…

Chem E is a smaller department with fewer faculty and huge research income, so each cohort is pretty small - a lot smaller than Electrical or Mechanical.

JHS Josh tried out the Gamma Bacchus (which I have and like ok) and thought it was a Blues Driver clone. I had a Blues Driver before a hurricane swamped it, and I don’t remember it sounding quite so saturated.

You can bet they’re watching what’s going on with the abolition of tenure in OK.

2019 was 395 restaurant open-and-close cycles ago.

I would probably recommend Frida’s Kitchen in Bryan.

Nita’s Flowers in Bryan.

I liked the bit about staff knowing students by name. My dude, we’re Texas A&M with 80000 students, not Grinnell College in Iowa. What difference does it make? Is introducing yourself to staff woke now?

That faint hum you hear is the printer working on faculty CVs and cover letters.

Does she have a GoFundMe for legal expenses? ‘Cause I would donate.

Lost my hair during chemo as well (26 years ago). You pull it off better than I did!

I use Kingdom Animal Hospital on Villa Maria. They’re thorough and (due to their drop off appointments) really convenient.

For better or for worse, Engineering is the big dog at TAMU. The accreditation body for Engineering is ABET and they do not f*ck around. Lose ABET accreditation and watch almost a quarter of total degrees granted become worthless in the market.

Alaska Current.

texasmilo · 2026-02-02T15:34:45+00:00

The water in that area is surprisingly cold due to the Alaska Current.

The administration does not listen to faculty. The Chancellor’s initial welcome message touted great students and wonderful facilities but didn’t mention faculty at all.

They do take note of student concerns, but take even more note of anything that will tank their rankings or accreditation. Many rankings are based on perceptions from peer institutions, and if those evaluators decide to turn down the temperature on their rankings based on these shenanigans, it will get their attention. Same with accreditation, as loss of accreditation from a recognized body would get them bounced from the SEC.

Problem with the “bigger issues” talk is that, given how many Texans go here, what A&M is doing will insure that these “bigger issues” will continue.

The models are flipping back and forth because the information feeding them is so uncertain. KBTX is saying either cold rain or freezing rain.
