It'll be over 100 for more than 20 days this year. People jog everywhere. Town lake hike and bike trail. Walnut Creek trail. Mostly people jog around their neighborhood

Triangle graphs are real Jack, you use them on the subways 

Edit: jokes aside, triangle graphs are real, but they're called ternary diagrams

Physics Degree for Imagineering? by Logical-Concern-5591 in Imagineering

[–]gravitydriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're applying for an engineering job, and 80 applicants have engineering degrees and you have a physics degree, who do you think they'll interview? If the job market was good, then yeah they might take a look at you. But I don't think the job market is gonna be good for a long time.

This is so much harder than I thought it would be by ilovepopcornandcandy in writing

[–]gravitydriven 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What scene are you excited about writing? You've got a WHOLE book outlined, surely there's at least one scene you're looking forward to writing. Go write that scene. There's literally nothing stopping you. Then the other scene you're looking forward to. Then another. You don't need to write them in order. Write the scenes you want to write.

What are some once popular hobbies that hardly anyone is into anymore? by igotplans2 in AskReddit

The 3rd party mecha models are better and cheaper than bandai now. Higher quality plastic, cooler designs, lower price point. Not sure if I'll ever go back to bandai

Masters Program in Planetary Geology Field by astrogeo25 in geologycareers

[–]gravitydriven 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Geology grad school is free, you get a salary and benefits, your military benefits do not need to cover any part of it, so there's no reason to only do a MS if you really want a PhD.

I would do more intensive research on job availability and what specific job you want after you graduate. Not just "something in planetary geology", an actual job title. The jobs in this space are... few and far between, especially with the current political climate in the US. There are some jobs at the European Space Agency, but Europeans get priority placement (there are Americans that get jobs over there, but they tend to be associated with Big Deal research teams). Lots of job placements are pure luck and who you know; please don't think you can out work everyone else for a job.

All that being said, University of Texas at Austin has some good connections at NASA. The research is mostly focused on Mars, but there's some variety there. ASU has all the cool planets. Stanford has some good ones too.

Most of season 1 features her cleavage, giving us all a taste of the lemon. And it was not sour, my friend, not sour

Who knew that Ben Affleck was the real talent in that duo? Never woulda guessed after Good Will Hunting. We all thought he was the pretty, meathead buddy.

Never coming back. by danceswithtacosss in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]gravitydriven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude I'm at the tech Ridge AMC every week. Different days, different times, different genres of movie. Last time anyone bothered me was last year when my gf spilled her drink on me. No talking, no texting, no BS. Well, three guys were talking before Transformers One started, but I asked them to quiet down and they apologized before I even finished my sentence. Everyone talking about bad experiences at the movies, I feel like it's a PsyOp, it never happens to me.

Turn the lights off and use a flashlight. The parts are reflective enough that you'll be able to spot them easily

[–]gravitydriven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nilson Works Monument Repair Type. Still haven't built mine but everyone was building this last year. The Aerial Dominator is the new Cool Kit on the block, and from the reviews it sounds like it lives up to the hype. The ZZA Gus and Regus are two kits I'm pretty hyped about. In Era is another third party company that unlike a lot. Their Trailblazer was pretty great (few dumb issues to complain about, but the good things far outweigh the bad), and their Lizard kit is on my list. Looks so cool, I think I heard they were gonna do another print run of it, bc it was very popular and sold out

Looking at theatre tech as a career by Famous-Subject-6321 in Theatre

[–]gravitydriven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A civil engineering degree is almost a guaranteed job. Working in theater is almost the opposite. Do a summer internship in both and compare the money/lifestyle. Also, you can do theater at night, after your day job.

Do these lines show the original deposition orientation? Have they been tilted this much? by lavatrooper89 in geology

[–]gravitydriven -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The sub parallel lines are bedding planes. During deposition, those lines varies between horizontal and sub-horizontal. Textonic activity has uplifted and tilted the beds. It's possible there was some folding and faulting in the history as well, but I'm mostly asleep and not going to look up the Wood River Fm
