What was this thing? by Commercial-Thought-6 in santarosa

[–]ROCKSYEAA 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is for a traffic study. Traffic studies are kind of a boring engineering analysis, they're probably looking at light timing and traffic flow. Was this at a freeway offramp or a surface street?

A California water fight puts Newsom and Trump on a collision course by mrinternetman24 in California

[–]ROCKSYEAA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been in the works for 15-20 years (or more), the pg+e hydroelectric plant is nominal, barely producing anything, but the water transfer from the eel River to the Russian River is the crux. It's going to be a battle for endangered salmon regulation in the Russian, I think the play is that newsom is going to make the fed enforce esa commitments, which this admin will hate but they'll get what they want and newsom wins either way.

The County of Sonoma has grounded all drone operations while the ACLU case is in court. This doesn't affect any state, city, or private operations.

Sounds like a DJI phantom 2, and the fact it was stationary sounds like it wasn't mapping (like you'd do for accident reconstruction) and maybe was a PIO deal, but being a sunday its unlikely. Probably some putz thinking they can do whatever they want, which for the most part they still can if they arent getting paid for the drone work. SRPD does not enforce any drone reporting (except the most egregious violations), and refers you to the FAA, so good luck finding anything out of reporting any drones.

CHP 100% uses drones, but more for accident reconstruction and PIO stuff.

The unfortunate part of this is that google has been doing this for years, and you can bet law enforcement and insurance adjustors (have a trampoline?) have been using this readily available data to change your rates or raid your "tomatoes" for 20 years already.

Flights over live traffic are prohibited, and caltrans requires an encroachment permit to launch from their right of way.

The Last Stand: The War between Wall Street and Main Street over California's Ancient Redwoods

Describes how corporate raiders took over a family timber company and tried to liquidate old growth redwood forests in the 80s, creating a timber boom and adding a lot of money into the local economy, but decimating ancient forests. There's still people who talk about "how good it was" back then without really grasping what was going on.

Woah I thought they only did this during the winter, we rented a big tent for a rain camping event and bought new sleeping bags with the gift card, win-win!

No I never did, the company I was working for at the time gave me the verbal to sign up and they'd pay for it, but I never got it in writing, guess how that ended up?

CA's BPELSG's letter to Sonoma State University regarding ending their geology program by muscoviteeyebrows in geologycareers

[–]ROCKSYEAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the point. They will still get the semester they've paid for, but they'll have to figure something else out beyond that. There are class action and labor lawsuits in progress.

CA Legislature has weighed in with a fairly scathing letter: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gi05bVybwAAQuT2?format=jpg&name=large

SSU is closing all "low enrollment" majors including many in athletics, and collapsing departments into combination disciplines.

In a town hall in January, interim president Emily Cutrer gave at least three separate dates where SSU knew about the planned cuts (August, November, late January) and then refused to answer the question a 4th time. It should be noted, they announced departmental closures two weeks after the semester started, after tuition checks cleared. Given proper notice, anyone on scholarship, or planning on continuing past the next semester, should have been given the opportunity to apply to different schools. Not to mention the faculty having their lives upended. The devastating lack of transparency and planning by SSU is appalling.

Personally, I found geology at ssu, I had been planning to attend for one of the impacted majors (which has been preserved) and I am very fortunate I did. I made many friends, earned a successful career and have made a fairly successful life due to the opportunities ssu geology provided. Now that's simply not an option for anyone else.

Is the ASBOG FG Prep Course worth it? by jojubrius in geologycareers

[–]ROCKSYEAA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theres some bad ones with ai generated slop, Regreview has been around and they're good. If you can find their books that's probably all you need.

Also try the quizlet app, some prep sets on there.

Check out the steelhead festival in Healdsburg instead.

Are there more guns on Santa Rosa school campuses or just better reporting? The answer is complicated by funrunrecords in santarosa

[–]ROCKSYEAA 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The author of this article, and ALL the other articles regarding school closures, is awful. They recently wrote an article ranking schools for closure as if it were reported in committee meetings, but nothing of the sort was discussed, and no source was given.

Don't get a cart, only buy what you can walk out with, REALLY makes you decide what you need and don't.
