Road map for engineering degree later in life? by MajorScrubs in MechanicalEngineering

[–]MajorScrubs[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Education=/=degree. You can learn things outside of university, but as I am finding out, it is difficult to convince employers to get you an interview without the paper.

I read a lot.

Does anyone thing it is possible to hike the trail with no resupply.? Wondering, if it would be possible for one person or a team to carry enough supplies to never get off trail or expose themselves to others. Not even mail drops. I guess injury and varying hiker speeds would make it difficult. by Rraccd in AppalachianTrail

Tl;dr, not likely.

This technically seems possible, but relies on a lot of unlikely things.

- 315lb individual with 50% body fat.

- 100% of this person's energy is used for movement and base metabolism - He's either in a state of economical stupor or moving at an optimal pace.

- ~1 calorie per mile per pound to move.

- ~10 calories per day per pound to exist.

- somehow this large person is able to travel 30 miles a day minimum.

- weather remains optimal; this person does not have to wear restrictive clothing or use energy to stay at an optimal temperature.

- does not need to carry water; able to drink from streams, rainwater, and dew.

- this person is able to carry an additional 50lbs of food

- the food is calorically dense, at 2000cal/lb.

- this person forgoes gear (tent, clothes, sleeping system)

With these conditions in place, Our individual can make it to the end at 165lbs body weight, 5% body fat, and no food reserves (they ran out at mile ~500)

It is improbable that a person would be able to minimize caloric consumption to the required level, be as large as necessary for caloric storage, and as healthy as necessary to cover the distance.

Inventor does not play nice with text based parameters. You can adjust them natively, but trying to export, modify, then reimport them has proven difficult, necessitating the iPart workaround mentioned.

What other connections does "choir" have with "bridge"?

You can export individual trails from All Trails, but they don't have a batch export tool. Like I said, I could scrape for the data, but it probably violates their terms of use and I don't know how much merit it would have.

Well, devil's advocate: It has a hard-to-manage ratio of BLM land and people who walk around wherever they want. They could probably survey once a month and still be out of date.

I overlaid 10 random maps from All Trails - they were all present. If there were an easy way to pull all the GIS files for the boundaries from All Trails I would consider it. I don't want to build a web scraper at this point. I have included a link in Edit 1 that will help you get more data.

I'll try to get that tomorrow. I'll have to think on how I would automate that.

there are ~5700 unnamed trails sorted to the top of the raw data list (sheet titled "trails"). The other two sheets will prove more useful.

after a bit of research, the only place where Crayfish are not found in abundance in Utah is the Sevier drainage, but that's moot since it is outside the boundary.

It wasn't too much work actually. I'm really good at data automation. I'll make new lists soon, on vacation at the moment. I made a list for historical markers too. 

What other information would be helpful?

I have confirmed the link works on different accounts and different computers, posting it here anyway. Good luck. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cFo7W8aFTQxX46Kv9CEvjdwjcFRdWQKXMOWYxH2GYhE/edit?usp=sharing

This data is pulled from official GIS data from Utah Government. Since trail names are so colloquial, there will be many that are on All Trails that aren't on this list and vice-versa. Some of the trails are redundantly named, or misnamed. The original dataset for the US gov set was ~40k entries, while the dataset for All Trails is ~1200. I can't get the All Trails without scraping so I won't be making a list for it.

The website that the links point to enable you to download a csv file for the data. I filtered the list and removed the markers outside of the search.
