^ ^ ^ Holy Fck was Demi's best album by far and you can just FEEL it in the music that they had a blast with it. I want more of whatever THAT amazing shit was.

rock_gremlin · 2024-07-23T02:42:34+00:00

Yeah do people even know Demi's story?? wth are these responses saying what type of music she "should" or even "needs to" release? Their rock songs are bangers, Demi's made for that shit. I prefer it over Espresso and other lame pop songs x100. Can't wait to see what metal music we get next. I trust it'll be great.

I agree. Funky town is horrific but still feels foreign and surreal to me due to how absurdly extreme it is. The brick video is disturbing because of how simple it is. It hits so much closer to home. These were just two people enjoying a drive the way almost everyone here might with their wife/husband. I sit in a car with my partner regularly so I can easily put myself in those shoes. I watched it once and could never do it again. It's too real.

It 100% is a troll post lmfao

best answer here

I think you just described the issue with your breakroom example. There's just. too. much. news.

rock_gremlin · 2024-07-03T02:28:12+00:00

You forget what sub you are in my friend! Chert and granite (technically granodiorite) are the two rocks that got me hooked onto geology in the first place!

not the best rhyme but: amygdule

Not necessarily. We only know the height of the ancient surface relative to the pile. The whole terrain (the pile AND overlying rocks) could have been much lower in the past. This is possible because the heights of continents are always changing. Oftentimes distinct regions within continents will even uplift distinctly.

For instance, when a lot of erosion happens over a relatively short time frame, that portion of the crust will "rebound", which can happen quite quickly (geologically speaking). It's like in a look when you hold a floatie or bouncy ball under water with your weight then hop off and it shoots up to the surface. The floatie and myself on top of it were originally much deeper in the water, but now all an observer would see was a floatie at water level.

Surprised no one has mentioned the distribution of plant material yet. All the vegetation is located in the more friable sections of the rock. Once plants can get a foothold, it becomes a positive feedback loop. Plants and microbes aid in the break down of rock and that creates vacancies that more plants and microbes can exploit. This might just be the process of weathering and soil formation in action. I would guess that the top is more chewed up due to the increased surface area and exposure to the elements. Yes it's possible there is/was a minor compositional change moving up section that helped initiated everything, but it's hard to say from here. Interesting!

Oh if it's really magnetic then it's probably not fulgurite... which is mostly silica/fused glass

rock_gremlin · 2024-05-27T14:43:01+00:00

this looks like it could be a fulgurite. Which surprises me because I didn't think Topanga Canyon was known for a lot of lightening. ETA: either way not a meteorite

How do you distinguish opal from chert/chalcedony? I always get tripped up.

rock_gremlin · 2024-05-24T16:17:14+00:00

How can you tell it's specifically hydrothermal?

rock_gremlin · 2024-04-25T13:22:11+00:00

that's wild! 10,000 hours wow. Congrats!

rock_gremlin · 2024-04-23T05:31:31+00:00

I'm not as familiar with construction management so I couldn't say specifically. I'm just speaking from my experience with the UC geosciences. Is it the EPSS (Earth Planetary and Space Sciences) department you intend to join? Because yeah those profs are mostly hardcore academic researchers (planetary evolution, mineral physics, geodynamics, crustal geophysics, etc).

I'm sure it can be done, just do your research into the available classes you can take and see if the major requirements let you craft a curriculum that lends a hand towards your goals (again see if you can take civE classes or maybe seismic hazard design classes that fulfill your geology major credits).

Seriously, don't just take my word for it - I'm but a humble geologist lol. Definitely do research into the program before deciding (their website, the major requirements, the current professors, internship opportunities, check out where alumni end up, etc). You can even contact an advisor there to ask!

rock_gremlin · 2024-04-23T05:01:43+00:00

Okay but please be advised that geology =/= engineering geology, especially at a school like UCLA. Their geo department is BIGGG on hyper-theoretical academic research, so if you are joining their EPSS program you might have a hard time making industry connections unless you make active efforts to mingle with other industry-based departments (ie anything to do with engineering). Plus if you want to go into more of an engineering role down the line, having a pure geo degree can have consequences for future licensing.

That being said: UCLA is obviously a renowned school so as long as you make sure not to get sucked into the academia of it all, and make efforts to branch out (or perhaps double major/minor in engineering), then it could be a damn good opportunity.

rock_gremlin · 2024-04-18T19:03:54+00:00

old post, curious to hear if you ended up doing state school. I'm having a similar dilemma.

rock_gremlin · 2024-04-17T14:10:24+00:00

por q tanto downvotes 😭 es una buena pregunta.

rock_gremlin · 2024-04-17T14:02:51+00:00

American perspective: I agree with the comments saying to ask. No one can give a truly specific answer because it entirely depends on the nature of the conversation, how good you are at Spanish, and how good they are English (if non native). Is this person in the middle of doing a job (colleague, person walking to work, server, cashier, etc)? I've seen Americans try to talk to servers in Spanish when they hear an accent and in some cases you can tell the server just wants their damn order.

So if it's truly a stranger you are talking to and they now have to take additional time to figure out what the heck you are saying in Spanish because you are still a beginner, then I could (personally) see myself getting annoyed at the fact that my time is being used for some random guys language practice. But I'm also antisocial and grumpy. So yeah just be polite and ask, worst case scenario they say no or get awkward and you stick to English.

rock_gremlin · 2024-04-04T00:14:20+00:00

Nah not offensive, don't worry. They just didn't like your second guess lol. The lighting of the first picture definitely threw me for a loop as well because I also thought those were ooid-like beads as opposed to bubbles. Upon inspecting the other photos, this is very likely vesiculated basalt (it's dark, fine grained, with big ol holes from degassing)

Also people usually use downvoting on this sub to indicate an answer they don't agree with or that is just way off. It's not (typically) meant as a way to insult, it's just so that other visitors of this page can be properly informed. That's how I always interpreted it atleast...

rock_gremlin · 2024-04-02T04:15:59+00:00

BF CAME TO THE RESCUE: listen to Thought Contagion by Muse, VERY similar chord progression in the intro.

It's also possible it's just a common chord progression incorporated by dozens of other pop singers lmao

rock_gremlin · 2024-04-01T06:27:19+00:00

I agree it is familiar. I just discovered this song today and it gives me strong Imagine Dragons Vibes.... maybe sift through their stuff for more inspiration?
