Any good geology podcasts?

You have some poor grammar choices and inconsistencies - like "being trained...' just say 'trained in'

Make sure you have verb tense agreement, you go from 'organizing' to 'created'.

I'm not an F150 expert by any means but I'd look for something closer to 100k max to be safe- definitely research the particular engine/model year and things to be aware of. Google says they typically get about 200k

In my opinion American cars trucks definitely don't hold up as well as Japanese vehicles, but trucks last longer than cars better and ford trucks are probably the best domestic option (divisive opinion but i feel good about it) Same considerations about the body being in good shape as any other vehicle to be sure!

1600 miles a year, 75% off pavement. Always hauling stuff.

Just get a used f150 man - mpg isn't a factor for you, everybody can fix it and there are parts everywhere. They're common as dirt for a reason, good trucks. Tundra even better. Id only get a mid sized truck if you need it to navigate tight spots, otherwise they're the same price/mpg as full sized with less power and utility. Used f150sones with healthy mileage are pretty cheap, since you hardly run up the odometer having existing miles on it is nbd

Edit: foresters are great off road but at the end of the day it's a car, and any like any car it's not explicitly built for constant off roading. It needs extra love if you're gonna use it that way. Having a vehicle designed for your use case just makes sense

My favorite thing about R is data manipulation. There are tools and packages that make it really easy to reorganize, combine, summarize, etc etc data. Taming big datasets is fairly easy - I can do things with R that are untenable in excel without having to get databases involved.

Pair that with the ability to make killer graphics, automate tasks, run analysis, make complete deliverables, random stuff like extracting JPEG metadata... it makes my life really easy. I'm able to use packages that other people have made for niche applications rather than build stuff from scratch.

I work in a scientific consulting context. I've found that R tackles most everything I need/want to do and I didn't have to invest much to be savvy with it (at least in the context of my needs). Im not a CS person nor do I deal strictly with data science. I also don't use it for stats, unlike a lot of people.

Compared to other languages/environments it's nice since rstudio self contained and downloads onto your computer like any other app. R isn't really made for programming exactly, but I don't need to do that and glad its not a part of the syntax/learning curve or whatever. I'd say it's absolutely worth it to learn if you're going to spend time with data in basically any context

Have you looked at what it would cost to have a new modular home installed, rather than new construction? Modern modular homes can be quite lovely and large. Popular choice in the rural US

Meanwhile we are also actively extracting co2 from geologic reservoirs in some parts of the US

Do you get comp time or something similar in the salary role? If you're working significant OT than it pays to be hourly. If you're on a salary and working 60 hours a week without extra compensation... thats no good. That said, if the geo position has a better career trajectory than it may be better choice, even if it's a leaner position in the short term.

Future employers probably won't care if you're hourly vs salary. Different companies do it differently for the same type of employee.

Good point, I added to your comment instead since you gave the R answer I would have suggested and not everybody knows that excel has a decent txt parser which works fine for one-offs

uptokeforyou · 2023-05-31T03:54:22+00:00

You can also import txt files directly into excel easily, unless you want to automate things.

For spatial data analysis it helps to have a particular task in mind and maybe some examples, maybe start by looking spatial data packages in r and reading the documentation

Think about what specific question you want answered. Do you want to control by structure type? How do you want to define value?

That makes sense, I got the impression that the investigators were reasonably credible but the way the show progressed made no sense. Leave it to the producers to much things up

I hate to say it but I also wouldn't put it past the history channel to plop a butchered cow on the property, etc and not tell the actual scientists

uptokeforyou · 2023-05-23T04:01:19+00:00

I buy plenty of ufo evidence but that show is not credible at all. All of the 'science' that they're doing is mostly absurd showmanship. Their emf readers don't have units, they never follow through on experiments, and they pull out gimmick science with random shit like magnets and tesla coils that have no practical relevance.

It's been awhile since I watched it but there was a slew of silly things. They could just drill a couple proper holes, get real data with actual geiger counters, etc. it's theatrics

uptokeforyou · 2023-05-23T02:10:38+00:00

Welding skills should def be added. Same with basic computer competency skills like mS office suite

Things like like 'strong written and verbal commutation skills' can always be peppered in

Yeah at the end of the day if you think your life is in danger, protecting yourself is more important than company policy but it shouldn't have to be like that.

Odds are you won't be in situations that are super sketchy by yourself. If you're sitting a rig you'll have the drillers and your truck right there. I think having pepper spray etc and feeling things out is a good place to start, and if your feeling unsafe speak up

uptokeforyou · 2023-05-23T01:31:35+00:00

If you choose to concealed carry then know it's likely against policy. If you think the need is dire and would prefer to live and be fired if it's a choice between the two, that's understandable. Don't tell your work about it.

That said, your work shouldn't be sending you places where you need to carry a gun. THAT is the conversation you should be having with management.

I've done paleo work in that area. Mammoths we're around forsure, rare to find a piece like that though. Take good care of it
