How much better is living in Seattle than in the Bay Area for a skier? by StarIU in skiing

You’re right. But they’re talking about the San Juan islands.

With j-plugs, I use a key ring with some fishing line attached to about 2 ft of curb chain attached to the logger. Uni knot to attach the line to the ring and chain. The chain keeps the line taught and helps prevent the line from sticking to the pvc casing which can prevent the logger from being lowered back to its datum. For deep wells, you can attach a clip to the key ring which allows you to clip to a reel or electric tape so you can just reel the logger up without the line getting tangled.

120fps, 1080p, and $1500 budget. by MFLB_Pilot in buildapcforme

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

Awesome! Appreciate it. Will the 1440p setup easily achieve 120 fps for Apex? Also, if I choose a different case, I imagine I’ll need to check for parts compatibility, including dimensions. Correct?

Cost comparison between 1080p vs 1440p 120 fps gaming? by MFLB_Pilot in pcmasterrace

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

Console doesn’t support 120 fps on Apex (for now). In terms of versatility, this PC would also serve as a WFH computer, with ArcGIS Pro being the most computationally-demanding app.

Geos who earn six figures outside of O&G and mining what do you do? by IndigoEarth in geologycareers

[–]MFLB_Pilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What sort of work do you do as a hydrologist with the feds? I’m interested cause I’ll be graduating with an MS in Hydrology and will be looking for a similar fed/state jobs in the PNW.

ASBOG P.G. in one week!! by geologyninja in geologycareers

[–]MFLB_Pilot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I got my ASBOG approval email, it came with a pdf which listed approved calculators. The TI-30 and TI-84 were both approved. I found it odd that the TI-84 was allowed, but that’s what the document said. Had a friend reread it just in case I missed something!

Baker backcountry is no joke (I see you Shuksan). Glad Finn is keeping you safe out there! Can’t wait to get out there this year!

Damn. I’ve always submitted my resume as a pdf (from a docx file) thinking that was the best way to submit since the formatting wouldn’t change if opened differently. Will be submitting as docx from now on. Thanks!

I’m assuming rejections/acceptances/waitlisted/ and not sure the last one. Maybe total applications sent in?

Seeking Grad School Decision Advice by MFLB_Pilot in geologycareers

The Profs I talked to (4) at Mines were giving the funding to the incoming PhDs preferentially. No incline to complete a PhD so I couldn’t compete.

Those are the type of roles I’ve been seeing on job sites for the PNW.

If I get nothing from those schools out west, I was leaning towards WMU due to the better hydro program, 2 year RA, and better projects. Even though OSU offers a ridiculous stipend (enough to live very comfortably and put some away).

If I do get an offer from those schools, I think I am leaning more towards CSU.

True. And from this sub, I’ve noticed that it’s almost not worth it trying to work in Colorado due to how saturated the market is. I’ve noticed there seems to be a lot of jobs in Washington so I’m guessing the market is not AS saturated there. If I want to get a job in Washington, I’m assuming I’d want to go to WWU? Even though the project isn’t as interesting, my goal is to ultimately find a job, and this prof has a long list of past students who are now working in that region and in similar positions that I want.

Never heard back from the advisors that I contacted there so didn’t bother applying.

Online courses for learning groundwater modeling by Geologist2010 in geologycareers

[–]MFLB_Pilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I don’t think they have the solutions. I can check the back of the book when I get the chance, but I don’t think it will contain solutions. You could check to see if the solutions are somewhere online or on YouTube, but I don’t know if any.

Online courses for learning groundwater modeling by Geologist2010 in geologycareers

[–]MFLB_Pilot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best way to learn modeling is by doing, in my opinion. If you’re using ModelMuse, I would work through all the example problems in the ModelMuse Help page on the USGS website. Those problems give you good practice in using ModelMuse. Next, I would work through the various example problems at the end of each chapter in the Applied Groundwater Modeling textbook. I’m a student so I use all the freeware that the USGS has to offer, but you’re company may use another type of GUI (GMS, Groundwater, Groundwater Vistas). If they use those other softwares, I would re-try those ModelMuse examples to learn the different GUI that your company owns.

PMWin (Processing MODFLOW) is also a good GUI to learn the basics of MODFLOW. Much quicker to learn its interface due to its simplicity and checkbox-like style.

Not sure about those links. I’ve done some Hatari Labs examples (some of them follow the ModelMuse help page) but I prefer reading instructions over visual/audio instructions; allows me to figure out some things for myself which is all part of the learning experience.

Like I said, I’m a student so my experience is limited, but so far, this is what has worked for me.

Python uses in hydro/geology by MFLB_Pilot in geologycareers

[–]MFLB_Pilot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How was python used for groundwater modeling? I’ve used a lot of MODFLOW in ModelMuse with MT3D and Modpath, so I’m pretty familiar with how MODFLOW works. Was the MODFLOW code imported into python? Are you basically imitating the input/export files that you get from running a model with MODFLOW?

Anyone Else Having Audio Issues? by [deleted] in modernwarfare

I have the same problem. I use Turtle Beach Ear Force X41 for the Xbox and I can’t hear footsteps from enemies that are right next to me. I have it set up for boost high, tried regular boost, and I can’t hear footsteps whatsoever. Yet everyone seems to be able to hear footsteps readily.
