I’m an environmental scientist in applied research. Started as a technologist where I was handed experiments to plan and execute. Every project meant learning/creating at least new work flows, processes, instrumentation in different environments (lab, field work, greenhouse). I often had to learn new but related areas of expertise. CONSTANT troubleshooting and creative problem solving. All that chaos and stimulation was perfect for a brain that needs lots of novelty, pressure, and stimulation. Any time I started to get bored with the work I was doing, something completely different came up.

My employer sent me to grad school so I can lead some of research we do. I’m now figuring out how to make this work with my ADHD.

Usually 1m by hand but I was on a project this summer where we were stopping at 3.2m

That Russian peat sampler and 780cm sounds like you were being punished for something.

Hand augering to 3m is my field season strength training.

I thought me or my phone was going crazy when I noticed this.

It's from Mark 7:18-20

18 And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19 since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?”[a] (Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him.

I'll upvote this but I don't like it.

We were staying at a group campsite in Writing On Stone Provincial Park and an intense thunderstorm came over. These 3 trees were hit with a lightning strike. Loud. Bright. But no fire.

I found this trying to find out how to collapse a comment thread. It's the one feature I'm missing from Connect to make it my full time lemmy app.

This is the first I've heard of portal reloaded. I loved the co-op in Portal 2. I'll have to convince a friend to load this mod.
