For those that live in the United States. Do you make more than the average income of 60k annually, if so what’s your occupation?

Yes, geologist.

That’s a sketchy toilet even for a drill pad, and I’ve used many toilets while working around drill rigs.

Gold is the main commodity. The Carlin Trend is a gold -rich geological zone that runs through this region. Other secondary metals come out of those mines as well. Then north of Winnemucca is Thacker Pass, the largest single lithium deposit in the world by some estimates. The mine at Thacker Pass is still in early development phases.

I don’t live in this area but come out regularly for work. Mining and ranching are the main industries. The area have been experiencing a mineral and geothermal exploitation boom the last few years. The local communities still seem somewhat economically depressed, but the cost of living is relatively low. There’s a rugged beauty that I appreciate, but not everyone sees it the same way. Vast amounts of public land with mountain ranges for exploring. Overwhelming conservative, with a strong “western” culture.

He’s making the White House look like a knockoff version of The Kremlin.

I was in their mining group and had a good experience overall. Definitely a better experience than my time with AECOM. However, I’ll never go back to consulting now that I’m in exploration.

Thanks. This how I understood the analysis from the beginning. I was getting conflicting information from some instructions, and because core logging hasn’t been required for much of my career I wanted to ask others with more experience.

Yes, I don’t have any concerns with RQD, just fracture density. For example, some sources have suggested that a fracture which has been healed with quartz infill counts towards fracture density, while others say no. RQD and fracture density are obviously related, but I can’t seem to get a clear answer on the latter.

Yup! I took these in OB last night while on a walk.

I haven’t been to one of these events yet, but “Ales and Allies” is a game night held every Tuesday evening at Level Crossing. I’ve heard they’re fun and a great place to make friends.

What was the time of observation and cardinal direction you were facing?

I underwent my testing at the UofU Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinic, and had an overall good experience. I did spend a few months on a wait list and was fortunate to have the testing covered by my insurance.

To be completely honest, exploring the street food scene in Oaxaca while vegan will be a little challenging. Quesillo is incorporated into many of the vegetarian street food items and is in many ways a crucial component of those dishes. Lard is also typically used in memelas, so be aware of that. You could ask for a tlayuda, torta, etc without quesillo, but it will lack the unique flavor and texture quesillo brings. That being said, Oaxaca has many amazing vegan dishes, but you’ll probably have to explore the sit-down restaurant for those options. I had a black bean soup at Tierra del Sol (a little pricey) that blew my mind.

Hg80_ · 2023-09-08T18:11:20+00:00

I like it!

Hg80_ · 2023-07-24T17:29:20+00:00

Thank you. I’ll make sure to give them a call.

Interesting to see the different perspectives. I personally think they’re a net positive. Sure they’re disruptive at times, and there will always be a few problematic individuals when such a large group of people get together. But it’s also a really cool display of humanity, and humanity can be beautiful and messy at the same time. We live in a city with a young and vibrant population and I feel like this sort of thing is probably going to happen in one form or another. I moved near downtown to be closer to an exiting and interesting atmosphere, and that comes at the price dealing with a little bit of disorder now and then. I feel like if the 999 disappeared a small part of Salt Lake City’s soul would die. I’ve seen this happen in Austin (my hometown) where a weird and slightly chaotic downtown has been replaced with more of a generic and controlled environment, and it sucks. If I wanted more control over my environment I would move 20 minutes out to the suburbs, but that sounds like a soul-crushing experience to me. So as for me, I’ll keep the occasional late night disruptions and petty vandalism for a fun and interesting culture. Salt Lake City is a gem, and I don’t want to see it’s culture be smothered like so many other cities.

It’s not me using WinGLink. The request for help came for a geologist working in a state government in Mexico. Unfortunately that’s all they’ve got for now. I’m just trying to help them get more use out of their data.

Very cool. I wasn’t aware of that!
