No problem. Us dirt (and rock) nerds need to stick together.

This is called pedastalling. It’s also what happens when hoodoos form, just on a larger scale.

We watch for this as an erosion indicator in environmental assessments

Just a skiff

Hey now, Castle Rat fucking rules

The “I’ve just spent 14 days in the bush digging holes and staying in a dry camp” beer hits like a fucking freight train. You’re exhausted, been craving beer for weeks, and your muscles ache. It’s consumed after a hot shower, a shave, and some scrubbing to try and get the dirt out of the fold of your neck. It’s all that is cold (but also warming!) bubbly goodness

those beers are a necessity for grad school. I do a metric fuckton of technical reading and writing. The “Fuck you, braincells, slake your thirst in a sea of alcoholic foam and recall what it’s like to be human again” beer hits hard.

i also call it the “If I tilt my head, my brains will pour out my ears beer”

Canada is not much better. $1.70 to $2.05 (or more!) a litre. That works out to $4.75+ /gallon

Good. Good. Let the hate flow though you.

Only when we are sick of tolerating environmental damage will we roll up our collective sleeves and do something about it. In the meantime, I’ll wait for a corporation to make little nicotine patches for the squirrels and monetize it some how; further distracting me from the horrors of this plane of existence

Presumptious. The meme is clearly getting at the Prussian flag.

I dated his mom for a while

I would just like to point out, regardless of Violet’s identity, this kind of post, or more the discussion around it stinks of Reddit content. This is the type of stuff that made Reddit suck.

Sure she posts thirsty stuff, but that’s just a shitpost style. Upvote, downvote, or block and move on. If you suspect it’s bait don’t eat it.

Solar panels need an aperture.

Again, though, using gravity batteries or pumped hydro is a great way to manage excess juice, though these are expensive options.

We do, but then life gets in the way. This week we are dealing with an outbreak of hand foot and mouth, which our house has been flattened with every spring for the last 3 years.

Me, Married, 40, and with two young kids:

No shit.

If God exists, he’s got a lot of fucking explaining to do when it comes to kids with cancer alone.

Let alone the finances fuck

This is my take, too. I’m objectively decent looking, but there’s no way anyone other than Mrs. Shovel be able to tolerate me.

I just about spat out my coffee. Lmao

A self-aware nice guy!

Don’t be so hard on yourself. The negative self talk really doesn’t help. You know this already, but probably don’t know how to stop it.

Some framing that might help: you are human. You’re allowed to make mistakes. Just because you’re not perfect doesn’t mean you are worthless. Your flaws are much smaller than you make them out to be, and flaws themselves are just areas you can improve in if you put your mind to it. You have a good mind, so use it to build yourself up and be the best version of yourself. No one else is watching you, really, apart from the guy looking back at you in the mirror.
