I'd have appreciated that level of honesty back when I was interviewing and hiring people, and appreciated the different experiences people could bring to the job. My thought: tell them what you were doing if they ask; if it's a problem, they're likely not the kind of people you'd want to work with.

Wishing for rain, settling for the view. Dramatic desert sky above an alluvial plain and Pliocene erosional remnant hills; a rift-bounding range of Precambrian metamorphic rocks in the far distance.
The Pentagon won't say "climate."
Fortunately, they're still preparing for what's coming.

Too often…not to often.
Anger over the data center boom has spilled into politics with voters unseating local politicians who support them. It's become an issue hard to ignore in the midterm elections. n.pr/3QfF8I1
Interesting point. The mining industry has historically taken social license as something to be obtained via persuasion to its position, not honest dialogue, engagement, and compromise. To often it dismisses and denies legitimate concerns. Fast-tracking in the face of opposition won’t help.
Don't forget to join us this Tuesday at 6 p.m. for an important webinar to hear about the latest on our efforts to keep the coal industry off our public land, and to learn how you can support the campaign.

If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.
Chile peppers are a traditional part of Indian cuisine — and a key crop for women farmers. They say it's too demanding for men. "In spite of the challenges," says one, "we've found freedom." n.pr/4mAU2o6
When lead-acid batteries aren’t recycled properly, they can leak into soils, causing elevated blood lead levels in children.

SunZia is amazing, and every time I get to see parts of it I'm proud that I got to help a tiny bit in making it happen.
Those beautiful turbines are generating power now. ❤️
Wow. It’s the 120th anniversary of the Great San Francisco Earthquake and the Chronicle has a pretty good write-up on Northern San Andreas earthquake mean recurrence intervals.

Please read this urgent paper. I am then going to repost a bunch of comments I made last night (sorry).

👀 Organic carbon weathering as an amplifier of climate warming 183 million years ago: “Weathering of sedimentary carbon-bearing rocks, such as shales, can emit significant quantities of CO2, causing temperatures to rise and further weathering to occur” ⚒️🧪

Why do we have lawmakers in Congress who are willing to hold fellow members of Congress accountable for sexual assault but not a President?
Don't forget the inevitable speaker who stands by the lectern at the front of a big room and, in a voice barely understandable beyond the third or fourth row, proclaims to not need a microphone because their voice projects well. Maybe that's who the missing mic represents!
When you get a 'woe' from the pope you really ought to listen.
A big 岩石 the size of a small 岩石 🧪⚒️
Yes, he’s clueless but let’s not forget that a good vermouth—preferably straight and chilled—makes a wonderful apéritif on a warm afternoon. You just can’t drive a large ship full of oil through it.
calls for “viewpoint diversity” are little more than demands for a quota system for political conservatives who otherwise could not hack it www.aaup.org/academe/issu...
"Just 26% of voters say they have positive feelings about AI, compared with 46% who hold negative views."
This is the technology that energy dudes have, for two years now, been falling all over each other to enable. Congrats, energy dudes.
just incredible that while the last shipments out of the strait are finally rolling in and there’s nothing coming behind them, the entire executive branch are obsessed with winning online flame wars with the pope
THIS!
A thousand times!
While I probably would've been all over AI as a kid, because who doesn't love fast results and access to all the information (and if you're ignorant, AI looks like that)...
As an adult who DOES research and is a process knitter (for the adventure of gaining skills)...
As others have said: Cochon (or Cochon Butcher next door for faster casual food) and the amazing Compère Lapin. A few blocks away, Herbsaint. For a cajun/creole greasy spoon just a few blocks from the convention center, Mother's. Farther away, Jacques-Imo's is an experience worth having once.
Denison students examining rocks in the Grand Canyon.

The point of the university as a concept is that it's been here for a thousand years and meant to be here another thousand. Turning education over to producing what the market needed five years ago is never going to work well.
