You can't spell 'vector field' without me, Professor!

spent the long weekend at an event on campus and going back to school seems significantly more rewarding than going back to the silly valley rat race

i grew up in a small town. my high school class was about 60 students. i didn't realize until i got to high school and started going on band/sports trips that it was actually pretty drat well-funded, well-maintained, and safe. lots of fond memories after the fact, back then i just couldn't wait to get out.

there weren't that many teachers so basically everyone was guaranteed to have at least one class with a particular teacher, and we'd get the scoop from whoever had an older sibling. the teachers were pretty chill although one particular teacher and one particular student butted heads enough that the student took a poo poo on the hood of his truck.

school demographics were like 70% hispanic, 15% mormon, 15% generic whitey, iirc.

yeah i went to a small rural high school and a lot of teachers seemed to have moved here to escape

my fave was an EE guy who retired to share his libertarian :biotruths:

real nice guy, could have made a dece six figgies but would rather mold young minds

i just fear i'd end up where the schoolin' ain't good but that's kind of exactly what i'm looking for

and i'd cut the mustard for a couple months before, idk

I also went to a small rural school and had a graduating class of ~20 people

it was also the opposite of this (well, it probably wasn't that dangerous); the teachers were either young and new and only there for what I assume would be loan forgiveness or resume building or something because they always disappeared after a couple years -- or they were old timers that had just been there forever and their own kids were going through the school and were likely there because like a significant portion of the white population of that school, they had a lot of family woven into the area

we had significant growth in our hispanic population during my time there too and it was not handled well

I’m looking at all the mountains in the county. Feels good to have names for them. like that distinct one I keep driving by with the stripe, that’s Fortuna Mountain.

there’s been some snow on cuyamaca, iron mountain and Palomar. planning to drive out to Julian tomorrow for a closer look

i take a little bit of pride that i can travel around my region and point out mountain ranges. down there are the beartooths, to the right are the bridgers, west are the bitterroots, behind us are the crazy mountains. makes me feel like a bit less of a shutin.

PeakFinder shows a 360° panoramic view from an arbitrary viewpoint of your choice. To render the panoramic views PeakFinder uses an elevation model that is integrated into the App. A database with a peak directory is included as well. For these reasons PeakFinder does not need an online connection for rendering the panoramic view and works completely offline from anywhere in the mountains.
