Pfft even if you know somebody that doesn’t help if hotshot fucking Linda who speaks 5 languages and has a PhD plus 5 years experience at age 28 decides to apply on a whim. She just came back from her fellowship in France, climbed the nearest mountain after running a marathon, has kids, and shares all of the bar crawling hobbies as the interview panel.

But I’m not fucking bitter.

Tl;Dr: the same advice as everything. Tailor your resume with keywords from the job description, and write a cover letter.

Damn right!

Sorry, no. I forgot because I am on a plan.

But Avenza has a free tier and I like it better honestly. Much nicer/easier to create interest points. You can use their basemap or make your own in Qgis if you have any GIS skills or use any PDF that has geo info embedded like a usgs topo map.

You can find any usgs topo map for free from usgs and load that into Avenza easily.

If you’re interested and this sounds like what you’re looking for I can dig up some links.

I had to switch to Esri Field Maps for work so I haven’t used Avenza since they implemented a ton of new features but I still have it on my phone because it’s a good app.

Have you considered something like Avenza? I believe they have live basemaps now. There’s also Fulcrum (premium $) and Esri Field Maps.

These require some work up front but these are what we researchers use to navigate and collect data in the field.

Didn’t work for me either :\

PLEASE let “The Adjuster” stick! It’s too good!

Canonically fuckable mothman.

I switched from Google Podcasts to Podcast Guru when Google Podcasts shut down. It seems ok so far.

I have experienced weird things and I think it is something that is an explainable natural phenomena that humans attribute to the supernatural in their ignorance.

Like the “ominous feeling” of a basement being stuff like radon or unshielded wiring, things that are explainable without the supernatural.

Racoons also basically create latrines where they will all go in the same spot.

And there’s some really bad (bacteria? pathogen?) in it so you have to take extra extra precautions when cleaning a raccoon latrine.

I’m over here still chuckling so thanks for sharing! Lol

Hooch is crazy is one of the best running gags ever.

But poltergeist cat is real!

Did you guys catch the “readings from Genesis” part?

Oh, what? Are you saying teaching rape and incest is not appropriate for children? But it’s the word of infallible god!!

Can’t…eyeroll…hard enough.

This pisses me off so much. I fought this shit when I went to school and all of the progress is fucking gone. And they can’t even challenge it in court because Supreme Court will just mandate bibble as curriculum. Fuck Christian nationalist tiny wart dick mother fuckers.

I hope it’s not against the rules to vent. Sorry.

Yep.

I did too at first, you’re not alone.

I see I’m not the only one who screenshotted this. I find it hilarious in a wow-our-infrastructure-is-fragile and at-least-we-arent-alone kind of way.

I live rurally and have spent the night without power 3 times in the last 2 months.

It gets old.

Hahaha you should see the outage map of Washington State.

What do I like to do? Nothing, I hate power outages.

What I typically do is I have a large stockpile of candles from an old MLM scheme. I light those and play on my phone if there’s Internet. We have multiple battery banks for these occasions.

If there’s no Internet I will read. Both ebooks and regular books because my attention will shift.

I also try to do something productive like study for something.

Most of all I pile like eleventy billion blankets on the bed because I’m so cold. The furry ones are poor space heaters.

When I was a kid we always played games. Like charades or something. My dad would light the camp stove and we’d entertain ourselves for the evening as a family. They were nice.
