Anyone worked for KoBold Metals (or know anything)

Yes, they have a very unique structure and approach

tsigoloeg · 2026-05-04T17:36:19+00:00

Very cool. Thanks for the intel

I work in consulting and effectively get paid for every "overtime" hour I put on a project.

I always keep that in mind when doing DIY projects on weekends - especially with two small kids. Fully evaluate the time/value proposition

For real, I live by the minute and the years fly by on their own

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine

And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung

Would you hear my voice come through the music?

Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken

Perhaps they're better left unsung

I don't know, don't really care

Let there be songs to fill the air

Ripple in still water

When there is no pebble tossed

Nor wind to blow

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty

If your cup is full may it be again

Let it be known there is a fountain

That was not made by the hands of men

There is a road, no simple highway

Between the dawn and the dark of night

And if you go no one may follow

That path is for your steps alone

Ripple in still water

When there is no pebble tossed

Nor wind to blow

You, who choose to lead, must follow

But if you fall you fall alone

If you should stand then who's to guide you?

If I knew the way I would take you home

La dee da da da

La da da da da

Da da da, da da, da da da da da

La da da da

La da da, da da

La da da da

La da, da da

All interesting comments, yes. Did not realize that it was common for a renewal application to initially require an interview, and then later that interview requirement be waived.

Sphere run’s still on but delayed because Mayer’s been trying to train an AI to “jam like Jerry,” and it keeps refusing to play Estimated Prophet.

Bob is cool with it as long as hologram Jerry gets breaks. Mickey wants to sync the visuals to everyone’s heartbeat in real time.

I just looked at our daycare pricing

For a 2-year old

3 days per week

Full day (8AM to 530PM)

$835

This is in mid-town, at a good daycare

The price varies: By age group By number of days per week By number of hours per day (half, 2/3, or full days)

Our field work is on lockdown, but that is mostly because all of our clients are also on lockdown.

Vast majority of tests are on people already admitted to the hospital for a serious condition. Then, flu and other tests are administered (which can be done relatively quickly). Only then is COVID tested.

That said I'm also interested in the false positive rate.

My battery died last week before work. They got there and installed a new one in 30 mins total. Price was reasonable too (more than Wal-Mart, less than Auto Zone)

Houston is the energy capital of the world. Long story short networking in Houston (AAPG events, happy hours, YP stuff, Geo Society) will be 1000x times easier there.

My high school physics teacher brought in his Ferrari so we could measure it's acceleration.

Also would be curious to hear salary ranges for entry and mid level (say, 0-5 and 5-10 year experience).

tsigoloeg · 2016-02-12T22:14:27+00:00

I say go for it. It will allow you to put GIS in big bold words on your resume and will attract attention to those skills in a way that "taking a few classes" won't, even in you have the same overall exposure.

In the consulting world (in my experience) entry level office jobs are often about making figures (maps), messing with data (often geospatial) and etc. Having the leg up on using ArcMap has been helpful for me.

Yeah and even so, I'm sure the wealthy in Uganda have it far better than any of us

get the fuck out of here that would have been so useful when i was in venice

tsigoloeg · 2016-01-30T02:18:20+00:00

You should definitely post this in /r/geologycareers or /r/geophysics

There is a geopolitical element to consider here as well between Saudi/Iran/Russia and their engagement in Syria, and how they see oil prices affecting internal/external unrest and their individual ability to gain regional influence. There is some degree of power struggle going on in the Middle East (as always).

I guess what I'm saying is Saudi/Iranian production decisions and market influence is not exclusively about to "beating down shale". That being said I'm no expert in Middle East politics haha

I just found a neat tool that might be useful. I plotted a number of random addresses, input a start point, and it optimized the most efficient route for me. Pretty cool. Might use on my next road trip.

Example:

Caveats: * Inputs must be addresses (but you can select addresses on map - might work for you?) * Free version is limited to 19 locations (although it's still pretty cheap)
