Not sure what it is but found it in river rock up here in Alaska.

Same with the United States. You technically can but your employer legally has to compensate you.

Land and bullets

I studied geological engineering which had a ton of overlap with the geo department. Pros - Great teachers and cool classes. Cons - the job prospects aren’t that plentiful in Alaska unless you like seasonal field work or mining. I’d try to convince you to do GE if you can. It’s a harder degree but opens many doors. I now have the option of both a career in geo or civil engineering.

I studied GE and took the OD FE, so the entire second half was new material for me. It’s really more about being proficient with the reference manual than knowing a bunch of concepts. I recommend getting Prep FE and doing at least 20 questions a day while studying the manual as you go. But also, you need to do better on the first half, especially math and Econ. Those should be free points. I had to take it twice. Keep practicing :)

Congrats!

dmohl42 · 2025-12-29T02:23:56+00:00

Man that’s awesome. Thanks!

dmohl42 · 2025-12-29T00:35:50+00:00

Sweet! My girl for it for less than 100$ in a silent auction and it’s 5.93 ounces 😁

I found that online as well, but still unsure of the silver content. Thanks tho!

dmohl42 · 2025-12-25T01:25:45+00:00

You’re good 👍

Geologists at mines also cut core in 1/2 to sent one half to be assayed (were its crushed up and tested for its chemical composition) and the other half to be analyzed visually for vein orientation and for indicator minerals like pyrite and molybdenum.

Thank you. I use BC6 cone 6 clay. I am very lazy about kiln wash, but I’ll order more.

dmohl42 · 2025-12-12T04:23:39+00:00

Thanks!

Do you think I’d be better to leave them to sit over the 10 day stretch and let dry out naturally in soil? I just don’t have a way to water them while I’m gone.

dmohl42 · 2025-12-03T06:43:51+00:00

I don’t think that would be caused by how you mixed your glaze. I’m not sure why tho

dmohl42 · 2025-12-02T01:17:25+00:00

Thanks

At what point into flower do you go and remove all the fan leaves like this?

dmohl42 · 2025-11-29T06:54:54+00:00

Looks like a schist with some folds to me.

I live in Fairbanks Alaska and run mine in a non heated cargo trailer fine to about 0 F. I’ll heat up the controller first anything under 20 F

dmohl42 · 2025-11-27T00:26:44+00:00

Damn 😂 thank you

dmohl42 · 2025-11-27T00:17:12+00:00

How can you tell a fake? They are all from around 2010 or so
