Good luck!

No thanks, I only date my wife.

When the local anesthetic wore off between sides during my vasectomy. I felt the scalpel slice into the side of my scrotum. Not a huge fan of that.

I have Microsoft Teams and Outlook apps installed on my phone because I need them to do my job. I use gmail, google calendar, and google maps because they work and are accessible anywhere I need them. I am certainly aware of the tradeoffs and use more privacy friendly alternatives on my own PC for things I need to do privately. The VPN DNS block lists running on my phone make it so the Microsoft apps barely function as it is.

Fully agree! Best advice I ever got from a high school teacher can be paraphrased as, “Think about what jobs will still be there in 20-30 years and can’t be sent offshore. Go into that career path and save your interests and passions for your hobbies.”

Ice hockey is rather impressive to me. I’m a very very minimal fan (as in, I will watch 30 seconds of a game if it’s on a TV I am walking past). I have been to a few NHL games, including the Winter Classic with my dad. It takes a lot of coordination, teamwork, and skill to successfully play.

Awesome, hope you enjoy it!

Obviously a lot of location factors are at play, but a crossbow is relatively inexpensive, has plenty of ability to humanely kill a deer (if that’s your intended target), and the bolts and broadheads are recoverable.

Smaller game can be taken with a .22 or .25 cal air gun, which can be far more cost effective than a standard firearm, depending on if it is a spring, piston, or pre-charged pneumatic model. Side note, Lewis and Clark brought air rifles on their famous expedition.

Check your local hunting regs for legal options!

Rock ape strong together!

And thanks, it was a spur of the moment play on Grandmaster Flash haha

Sweet!

Right on, thanks for naming it! I typically work with subsurface geology, so not quite as well versed in surficial stuff. I remember the basics from sed/strat and geomorphology classes in college. It’s been a few years since haha

Absolutely! Water shapes a lot of what we see on a daily basis, ranging in scale from my photo to things like this. There are other geological forces at work, but water is one of the ones easiest to observe on a human time scale.

Water does really cool things. In this case, a relativity vertically falling rain will be deflected by the rocks, and the sand and other sediment around the rocks will be washed away. Here’s a more zoomed out photo of the area

They do! Probably a little hard on the teeth though

I have a project at a former surface mine/quarry and saw an area where recent rain eroded away sediment surrounding the gravel but not directly under it. Each rock was supported by its own column.

The whole album is depressing, but the title track is one of the more depressing ones. Freudian Slip by Yüth Forever (formerly Villains)

Maybe they’re asking where you want to commit armed robbery first?

I agree with the sentiment as well. The unfortunate part of this is people pointing fingers at Ohio EPA when the agency can only act within their legal authority. Ohio EPA cannot grant or deny a business’s ability to operate up front like that. In this scenario they can only set limits for contaminants and enforce them. If bad actors violate those limits, then they can issue violations, assess fines, and refer cases to the AG for criminal prosecution. In extreme cases they can force a company to stop operating until violations are resolved.

Yes, I work on both state and federally administrated RCRA closure and corrective action sites and state administrated CERCLA sites

Totally valid. Most of the sites I work on, the contamination happened before regulations were written. Chlorinated solvents are a big problem from metal degreasing, industrial cleaning, etc. Pre-hazardous waste laws, the manufacturer instructions were to pour spent solvents on the ground and let it evaporate. With current knowledge that is clearly not a good thing to do, but the hazards were unknown to the general public. So that stuff happened in the 1950s to early 1970s is still being cleaned up. It would have been ideal for it not to have happened in the first place, but it’s not like companies are doing that anymore (if they are operating appropriately).
