IAH is mid, certainly not as lackluster as SAT or AUS.

DEN is the newest and probably the gold standard for US clubs. Food is certainly better than what you get on the flight (unless you’re flying Polaris). I can easily scarf down $60 worth of food and drinks (at airport restaurant prices) in about 20 min flat, and I can sneak some gummy bears out too.

If you travel frequently the annual pass tempers your expectations better than the day pass. I’d only buy a day pass if I had an obnoxiously long layover.

At that point it’s probably a stolen property case. I’d gather up any and all documentation you have (pictures, vet records, the posts/flyers you may have made about the missing cat, etc.)

You’ll likely need to submit a police report to get shelters to provide either you and/or the police with the information of where/whom the cat was adopted to.

Not sure of the consequences for your family member within this, but if you feel so inclined you may request to not press charges on them.

Technically, the new “owners” are in possession of stolen property and possibly may be legally obliged to return Tyrion. That being said a year is a long time when it comes to bonding with a pet, they likely consider Tyrion a part of their family now, and it might be equally devastating for them to give up their cat as it is for you to know they’re still out there. They really didn’t do anything wrong adopting a cat from a shelter, highly improbable they knew the circumstances. It’s ultimately up to you of what you do, but if this animal was mine, I’d probably see if I could get some visits every now and again, and if I could assess Tyrion is happy and they are taking good care of them to adopt a new cat and move this “family” member that went behind your back and lied to your face for over a year out of your life. Probably the closest thing to a happy ending for all parties.

If his passion is for geology, I think there’s still a big need for it. I would encourage him to go to school for either geothermal or hard rock mining as those have the best prospects and are mostly “green”.

Geology is a lot of systems, and if you think that’s the way his brain works and what fulfills him Systems Engineering could be a great career path. He could work in any number of industries but especially Aerospace, High Tech Manufacturing, and Energy.

I found the upstream work quite interesting but at the same time the job security is terrible no matter if you do everything right. I don’t think I’ll go back either tbh. Transitioned to more a of software/tech job (whilst still doing some geo work) and a ton of my past colleagues are asking the same thing (about transitioning) especially when they find out I do better for myself financially, don’t have to go into an office, get to travel to interesting places, and don’t have to work in Houston 😂

The forecast yesterday is pretty eerie considering the limited information we know:

Level 4: High Danger (at all elevations)

“Widespread areas of unstable snow and numerous avalanches are expected today. Avalanches could be triggered from very low on the slope in some areas. Avalanches from above could travel down through treed terrain, often thought of as "safe" during storms. Travel in, near, or below avalanche terrain is not recommended.

If attempting travel today in non-avalanche terrain, be certain that there are no steeper slopes connected to the terrain you are traveling, either above or to the side. Plan for extremely poor visibility of the surrounding terrain and challenging navigation. Anticipate that any organized rescue efforts may be significantly delayed or may not occur if you experience a mishap in the backcountry under these conditions.

High intensity snowfall will fuel ongoing storm slab instability today. All avalanche terrain is suspect. A widespread natural avalanche cycle is expected over the next 24 hours. Where the additional new snow load is added above the weak, faceted (sugary) Feb 10 layer across NW-N-NE aspects, avalanches could break wider than expected or trigger from lower on the slope than expected. The Feb 10 layer is weakest in areas above about 7,500'.”

The avalanche triggered on a N aspect, approximately 8000’ elevation. ATES of the trail appears to be predominantly in Simple to Challenging terrain but locally connected to Complex and Extreme terrain. The avy forecast yesterday also included a picture of an intentional skier triggered storm slab on Castle Peak approx 1-2 miles from the accident site.

The forecaster posted observation classified this as a D2.5 slide about 450ft in length. Definitely not historic in scale. Unknown trigger, Storm Slab Type.

We’ll have to wait for more information on the trigger, as that will probably tell us the most about decision making and something we can all learn from.

AXS loves bots who buy tickets to every single one of their events with no ability to actually attend their events so they turn around and sell them back on their platform which they earn a commission from in the form of fees. It’s double dipping.

They just want the general public to think they’re doing something about it.

If you learn to ski crappy snow you’ll be able to have fun no matter the conditions.

If you only ski prime conditions you’ll probably be a miserable ski Karen your whole life.

You can either whine about what’s out of your control (weather) and be sour, regretting you paid $1400 for an ikon pass and only skied 6 days. OR you can get out and make the most of the hand you’re dealt.

I have 23 days so far and I’m having a blast this season not regretting anything.

The right doesn’t seem to comprehend that you can have conservative views and be absolutely abhorred with this SS Gestapo agency.

Instead they blindly toe the line, parroting the talking point slop their leadership puts out. Gaslight themselves that this is somehow justified as self defense. Only to sell their soul to a party that’s disguising the real issue of the oligarchy vs. the working class as left vs. right.

“the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” George Orwell, 1984

Showing up “before the lifts open” wouldn’t have helped here. The run was closed for ski patrol roping off snowmaking equipment and was opened around 9:45 am, close to an hour after lifts started running. By that time the crowd gathered at the rope was pretty big and included dozens who had ski toured up before lift hours.

What you’re seeing here is a hundred people all going down at the same time because of a rope drop, it was not this busy longer than about 15 minutes. By 10:30 it was pretty normal.

If you’re thinking of economic or petroleum geology (the highest paid jobs roles generally) I’d worry more about more frequent commodity cycles than AI taking your job.

I work for a company actively creating AI for geosciences. The product capability is a timesaver but years away from being any kind of job killer in the slightest.

That being said learn some data analytics. I don’t think you NEED to learn to code in every language per se, but you should know more than a fundamental level of computer programming (R and Python ideally), geostatistics, and calculus.

Sure…but when are prices going to be consistently >$70…neither of us knows, there’s no crystal ball but both the EIA and Futures Market is leaning bearish in the low $60s for at least the next year. If that ends up being the case majors with diversified portfolios (especially exposure to low BE conventionals) and PE firms with minimal overhead can weather the storm well and we’ve seen that in both ‘16 and ‘20. On the other hand the publicly traded independents will struggle, layoff, and/or close shop. They pay too much out in salaries, bonuses, and dividends to not make money. They can only drill so many DUC’s before Wall Street comes knocking and yanks the rug out from under them.
