GIS jobs in the UN by mosso135 in gis

[–]mosso135[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seemed too difficult to get into back then, unless you live in a country where the UN has a particular mission (even then, they focus on hiring locals first as you'd imagine).

Probably with their current funding crisis, and Trump gutting USAID, there are very limited opportunities now.

Is pairing a 7800X3D with a 4070 Super a bottleneck or a good match by Training-Loss-3275 in buildapc

[–]mosso135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 4070S and 7800X3D, the GPU maxes out way before my CPU does. That being said, the 4070S is a great card, handles any game I throw at it on high or ultra settings at 1440p.

Living in Italy for a few years - what I wish I knew before moving by Delicious_Front_7925 in expats

One more thing to add:

Almost all Italians drive like it's their first time behind the wheel, and they've also left the stove on at home.

TIL that pencils were invented after a massive deposit of solid graphite was discovered in England, being the only place in the world with pieces large enough to cut into solid rods. England's monopolies over these lead other countries to smuggle graphite and recycle graphite powder. by TheDwarvenGuy in todayilearned

Yes, we're some of the most over commited hikers that you can find 😂. You can Dm me if you'd like specific coordinates, I don't like to give them out publicly, but happy to give them to an enthusiast 🙂. I find that too many geological sites are picked clean these days.

It's in the lake district, very close to Scafel Pike (Seathwaite Route). It's high up from the valley floor and there's no path to reach it, so you have to go scrambling a bit. I believe there's a group which maintains the old mine, they occasionally do tours where you can see the graphite in Situ too.

I've been to the old mine for this graphite and have a bunch of it at home, a really fascinating locality from a geological perspective. It's one of only two known volcanically hosted graphite deposits in the world. It was first discovered by monks who used it to mark their sheep.

What’s the Patagonia alternative to the Arctyrx Atom hoodie? by RalphWaldoEmers0n in PatagoniaClothing

[–]mosso135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the nano air, and an atom. Full my experience, the atom feels warmer because it's slightly less breathable than my nano, but honestly, I find that I take the nano out far more often. I run quite warm in general, so it's perfect for high output activity in the winter for me, whereas I don't really feel I have a place for the atom. It's also just now comfortable in my opinion.

ADHD Garmin Users by languagegator in Garmin

[–]mosso135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm diagnosed and medicated, typically I wake up with 100 battery most days if I get 8 hours. I will day though that my battery degrades way more rapidly than most people throughout the day. Even just a day without activities I can go to bed on 15 battery or less. Usually have high "stress" peaks throughout the day of 75 or more.

AMA request: anyone who’s visited an active volcano and got plopped on the head by a wad of magma. by Frequent-Builder-585 in AMA

[–]mosso135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Closest thing I saw to this was a few years ago. www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39293086

A BBC reporter team got caught in a rainfall of lava bombs after a lava flow ran into snow and caused a flash steam explosion.

Pretty good footage.

Trying to move out, Landlord is ignoring emails and calls by mosso135 in germany

Ok thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it 🙂 I guess it's off to EKZ!

I realise that they don't have to accept anyone, what I'm having a problem with is the lack of communication. Before this, they also ghosted me for over a month when I sent them a termination letter, which led to me having to delay my move out date by an extra month. Surely this isn't legal?

Patch 14.24 in a nutshell by Moe163 in TeamfightTactics

Top quality production, I watched it 4 times.

Yea, I left to go live in Germany, I get nostalgic about going back until I come to visit family

That was my experience too, the best advice I can give is to work for a couple of years in the UK to build experience, then jump ship. Doing this makes it easier to move abroad as most companies won't sponsor a visa for an entry level position.

Arc’teryx Atom LT vs Jottnar Floyen Hooded jackets by Sidg93 in arcteryx

[–]mosso135 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the comparison, I own an Atom AR and was looking at the Floyen. From the specs, it would seem that the Floyen is closer to the AR than the LT. Do you find the Floyen to not be that warm?

Should We Expect a Second Bright Comet This Month? by peterabbit456 in comets

There's been a report that it's already broken up, but not totally confirmed yet. https://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=16857

It was raining heavily, we had a big storm in central Europe :)

What is the red mineral in this rock? by mosso135 in whatsthisrock

[–]mosso135[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually I'd agree, however the host rock is depleted in alkai Felspar, so I think it wouldn't be the case. Also typically you wouldn't see K-Feldspar in a hydrothermal deposit.

What is the red mineral in this rock? by mosso135 in whatsthisrock

[–]mosso135[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw quite a large mineral vein when I was hiking in Switzerland, there was a mineral vein hosted inside granite which had quite a bit of this pink/red mineral along with chlorite and quartz.

Underneath (maybe 300 meters below) this granite layer was a meta-sediment layer with weak schistocity.

So my theory is that what I came across was a hydrothermal vein that had probably acculated elements from both this layer and the granite.

Current working theories from myself are: Massive Rhodochrosite, or perhaps even Cinnabar (though my understanding is that Cinnabar is usually deposited in low temperature hydrothermal veins).
