    What a weird idea that there is any sort of rivalry between two data types used in the same science. I have a hard time believing that any geospatial science professor is in a war over this. Analogously this would be like two carpenters having a war over saws vs hammers. They are both indispensable tools in carpentry. Sometimes you saw something and then use a hammer on the next step, sometimes you hammer something and saw something next. It’s… You use both. You’ll always use both.

    okay SO, yeah, well, anyway, okay like, there’s this HILARIOUS RIVELRY going on between those two teachers I no and it’s all written DOWN in scientifatic PAPERS that are publicly available for anyone but I won’t LINK them because shirley my badly spelt TALE of what happened sprinkled with RANDOM capitalized WORDS is much more HILARIOUS than anybody readings it FOR themselves

        Not uncommon for stem majors to have poor English. My freshman brochure for my engineering college had “enlish 20”. Which I found ironic they misspelled the spelling class lmao

          I quite enjoy resting a thought upon the pronunciation of a misspelt word. Not to mock the occurrence of the mistake but to enjoy the novelty of the familiarly unfamiliar. Geospatically speaking it provides a moment’s grammatical geospatical sabbatical.

          This is in a similar lexical vein to the recent Lemmy post about enjoying nich names.

          I don’t know why I’m about to submit this reply as it’s utter nonsense…

      I went hunting and found OOP’s blog. There isn’t much more to the story, which I will transcribe here:

      until like LAST WEEK
      professor B publishes a paper that casually drops the word “husband”
      and obviously all the students are like “oh i didn’t know u were married!” because we read that shit like how white suburban mothers read People Magazine
      and shes like “yeah, it’s Professor A”
      and we all FLIPPED. THE FUCK. OUT
      we thought the framed picture of the two of them on professor A’s desk was ironic because hes that type of guy
      like, you gotta understand, these two have gotten into YELLING matches in hallways. these two refuse to go on trips with each other. but apparently they have a system where they quite LITERALLY leave all of their work at work and drive home in separate cars and literally NEVER work at home. it is SO funny

    I can oddly relate because I’m taking courses right now that deal with these data sets, GIS is a great field with lots of opprotunities that pays well even in entry positions. If anyone is curious, they should look it up. It can be used in soooo many different applications and fields, it’s very versatile.

      My dad is a software developer for a popular GIS software. It’s just weird to see someone on Lemmy talking about GIS lol
