Teeny PSA. Use a single point of geologist in the guiding lands to double your gathering of special monster parts that have dropped.

As stated above it was discovered on PS4 that when collecting the unique items parts that drop on the ground when breaking monster parts in the guiding lands. If you have a single point in geologist. (Gather from bone piles and additional time) you can pick up monster parts twice. Literally doubling your drops. For some reason these are treated uniquely as bone piles and proc on the geologist gem. If you didn't know this you are welcome. <3

Part of my dad's obituary written by my mom, both are geologists.

Hi guys! I'm not sure if this post is allowed, but I thought it would be kind of nice to share it here because of the way my mom wrote so lovingly about her field of study and how her geology professor (my dad) forever changed the way she looks at the world. It's kind of long, but it's beautiful. My dad is the smartest person any of us know and his love and knowledge of the world and it's history told through the land is infectious.

I metΒ JackΒ in January 1989. I was 24 and it was the first day of my first geology class.Β I was a freshman in college and I chose geology because I had to take a science class and I thought the other sciences (chemistry, biology and physics) would be too difficult.

I had never thought about geology before. I can’t remember ever wondering where rocks came from or how mountains formed, they were just there. Jack changed that. I had good teachers before, but I never had one who made the subject come to life the way Jack did. I became a better student in all of my classes simply because I was a good student in geology. I was fixated on every lecture and took notes in color. I drew pictures, I wrote down questions to ask later and by the end of the semester I had a book full of Jack’s lectures in my hand writing.

I developed a crush on my professor and as we spent time together in class, in the lab, on field trips, we became very good friends and one day, he married me. Jack is the most intelligent person I ever met and he was a scientist to the core, but he was also a writer and a philosopher. He was loud and he had a wonderful sense of humor. He loved to hunt and fish and our freezer was always filled with venison. He did most of the maintenance on our cars and he rebuilt the engine in my truck.

10 years ago, Jack lost the ability to speak. He also lost the ability to walk and the use of his hands was limited, but the inability to speak was devastating. Our daughters were 7 and 9 the last time they heard their dad’s voice, they don’t remember what it sounded like. His brain was fully functional, Jack was in there, but he couldn’t do anything. It was his worst nightmare, it is everyone’s worst nightmare.

How do you describe an entire life in a paragraph or two? While helping me with Jack’s obituary, my friend Phyllis, who was also one of his students, said something to me that resonated. She said β€œJack changed the way I looked at the world.”

Jack changed the way many people looked at the world.

I remember the first

[WP] The Earth's crust is actually almost paper-thin and there's nothing below it. Barely around ten to twenty feet of dirt. Geologists have known this for years, maybe even centuries, but for various reasons have told no one. This begs the question, what are the mine shafts and wells digging into?
