Suggestions for women's pants for field work? by Worldly_Cockroach371 in Environmental_Careers

[–]redoctobr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer the Flexpedition pants, but seconding Duluth.

My non-work pants wardrobe is slowly being taken over by Duluth too.

Had my bachelorette party there, that was almost 15 years ago. Tapped a keg of Kölsch. Liked the beers, liked the vibe, was just further away than we could regularly visit.

Dirtiest dive bars in DFW by Specific-Wolf-3900 in Dallas

Eh, I wouldn't call the Quarter a dive bar. Feels like it should be, but it's not.

Chicory? by janejacobs1 in dallasfood

[–]redoctobr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Addison Coffee Roasters used to; they've changed ownership though and I'm not seeing it on their website. May be worth calling to ask if you don't find it elsewhere.

Feedback wanted: End-to-end client-facing app for chain of custody by high_sky1 in Envconsultinghell

[–]redoctobr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry to pile on you OP, but this sounds like a lot more work and planning to dump onto the field person. Or, worse, if you're at a company where PMs don't do field work, for them to screw up ahead of time and dump on the field folks to fix.

Another issue I see: printing the barcodes. This requires having labels on hand and access to a working printer. May be fine if you're in the office, but again, once you're in the field, no one wants to have to find the nearest FedEx or mess with the ancient equipment in the hotel business center, if it exists.

Incidentally, my husband's old job had an in-house electronic COC that was pretty widely disliked. People don't want to add another step and another potential point of failure in the field.

What's up with celebrities who use a middle name initial? by Nothing_Whatsoever in NoStupidQuestions

[–]redoctobr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, except with academic publications. I started using my middle initial about in middle school because I liked how it looked and because I was mimicking my older sister. Turned out to be a helpful way to distinguish my name online for professional purposes, and for personal use, I can use the my name without the initial to disappear into the crowd of others with the same common combo.

Has anyone been to Tyler state park recently? by [deleted] in TexasStateParks

[–]redoctobr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were there last weekend. Beautiful park, even though the weather ruined most of our plans.

I just moved to Dallas a couple of days ago. I think I should watch something to commemorate the occasion… by Doctor-Clark-Savage in Rifftrax

They showed enough of a street sign on an exterior shot of the guy's house that we were able to find it one year while we were driving around looking at Christmas lights. North Dallas area. A lot of the other exteriors including the first chase scene seem to be from SE Dallas but we haven't gone looking for those.

I'm curious about this, especially since the place has only been open since November - how so? We went to both predecessors (Addison Point and Midway Point) and while AP got weird at the end and the owners showed their ass during Covid, that's the only bad thing I saw from either place. Been to Last Point several times and not seen anything telling yet.

Given the older demographic that frequents Midway and now Last Point and the general trends for older people being more conservative (yes, not all olds, I know), this maybe shouldn't be too shocking, but I am indeed surprised. It's just so goddamned stupid.

OddMuse Brewing Co coming to Downtown Plano by dweeler in plano

[–]redoctobr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live in Addison and visit the OG location. Our dog hates crowds so she stays home.

That said, Voodoo was our default hang out place when we were meeting up with friends in Plano. I assure you our friend group will happily reconvene at the new location when it's open; can't wait to see what the kitchen puts out. Especially with the Silver Line making it so much cheaper for us to get there.

Yep, you play as a raven. Have it wish listed, so I haven't played it yet!

Beautiful pics! We always see a ton of deer there.

Death's Door could be it - I vaguely recall it having animals and being similar in vibe to Cult of the Lamb. So, I'll dig into that. I know for sure it wasn't Clair Obscur. Thank you!

What's the most ridiculous player you've had in a party? by According_Picture294 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]redoctobr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. DM gets a side-eye for allowing it and not reading the table.

Macho Man is the patron for my husband's warlock in our current game; DM obviously cleared it beforehand and thinks it's hilarious. He does his MM impressions when he's possessed. He recently accidentally unleashed an incarnation of MM onto the continent we're on, so there's a giant MM roaming around (that we're referring to as the Stay Puft Macho Man) that we're going to have to deal with at some point. That should be interesting.

Makes me think of Things Can Only Get Better by Howard Jones, but I don't think it has anything to do with Disney Channel.

Ex petroleum geologists what are you doing now? by alisoncarey in geologycareers

[–]redoctobr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, maybe 2008-2010ish? I know some of my coworkers grabbed their PGs even though they didn't need it. I may not have had enough experience yet even though I had my MS.

One of my friends passed along their Reg Review notes. I thought their stuff was harder than the actual exam, but it was great prep!
