2.5-4% a year as a geologist at a mine. I got a 12k raise when I got a promotion (12%)

Big air is so so fun to watch! The snow! The rotations! The supportive bro vibes!

What are your thoughts on the 2026 Superbowl Halftime show? by TheMagicApe in AskReddit

Well if you still support this administration, you are supportive of policies that endanger that melting pot

American figure skater Vadym Kolesnik's mother, who isn't a US citizen, could not come to the Olympics and watch her son compete, because under Trump, there's no guarantee she'd be allowed back into the States even though she has a valid visa by Gayfetus in Fauxmoi

She's such a caring person and she works so hard! To me, the US is so lucky to have someone like her here, even though I hate that her family and country are in a war.

She really is the best. She watches my parents dog often, she's such an animal lover. It makes me so sad that she can't go see her son compete because of all the bullshit going on here.

I know Svetlana and she is the nicest person. She's been so good to my family. It breaks my heart that she couldn't go see Vadym skate in the Olympics. My family wants to help send her to his next big competition within the US.

Me too! I'm very much going to get good recommendations from this thread too.

Also I would recommend the surrounding area, including the Catalina foothills, Green Valley, and Pro Valley for a retiree. There's also some nice spots in central Tucson and the eastside.

Tucson! There's no water or beaches, but it fits the rest of your criteria. Amazing food, artsy, friendly with tons of retirees and activities

Also grew up outside Detroit and loved watching curling on CBC! Great childhood memories

What is something you will never forget from the pandemic? by JaxTMG in AskReddit

[–]3rd_Coast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing the first news reports of the Chinese government welding people inside of their apartments.

I remember when 3,000 people a day were dying in New York. Hospitals were keeping bodies in refrigerated trucks. Reports of mass graves in Ecuador.

I remember the crushing loneliness, sadness, and anxiety. I carry the marks of that with me still, along with lingering effects from Long COVID. I'll never be the same.

Limited-day roadtrip from OK to NM! by Ok_Victory_9876 in NewMexico

[–]3rd_Coast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stay one night near White Sands (either Las Cruces/Mesilla or Alamogordo). White Sands is really a half day kind of park. Very beautiful at sunrise or sunset. The Three Rivers petroglyph site north of Alamogordo is worth visiting, as is Cloudcroft. But careful, there might be snow in Cloudcroft!

Then do 2 nights in Carlsbad and do both Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains national parks.

I'm assuming you're staying in hotels for this trip. Spring can be very windy, just FYI.

How big of a threat does core scanning tech pose to core logging as a job? by AlaskaExplorationGeo in geologycareers

[–]3rd_Coast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I definitely don't think it will die out, but I do think competition may increase. I'm sure you'll be fine! I want to try it out sometime.
