You have no idea how much I appreciated the slow lead in your comment. The entire thing is very high quality and I highly enjoyed reading whatever the fuck that was.
Mental endurance. The documents I write are very long, and very technical. My role is to integrate reports from numerous environmental and engineering disciplines into one big report. In that regard, everything has to be accurate. Because I integrate, I have to read all of these reports. Every day. All day. All year. Then I have to fit the pieces of the puzzle together and tell the story of the site.

The one they named the dance after?
This warms my geriatric millennial heart
Tech literate and Foss aware
Lawl. Speak for yourself: I’m a luddite - I just asked someone ‘what is a foss’
Is this is what happened to my parents when the internet came along and computers started being a thing? I swore to God that would never happen to me
What’s a foss?
Bruh
Bingo.
In anything that does not perfectly stack, you have to assume a bulk density (density that accounts for porosity)
This is common in soil science since soils are only 50% solid.
I really like both. I have to have coffee in the morning so I guess if I had to pick one that would be it.
I love a good chai that will take my lunch money though
