When I was working in California in 2016 Monterey county passed an initiative banning wastewater injection, which essentially would have shut down all oilfield production operations in the county since the WOR is so high on the fields out there.
The oil company lawyers got to work and the decision ended up getting reversed. I imagine the same would happen in Colorado after legal challenges.

So I’ve been kicking around the idea of moving to Denver and I want to be central in the best spot to live in a walkable nice area with top restaurants and bars, basically the best spot to meet fine young professional women. I’m a 31 year old single well paid engineer. From what I’ve been able to gather Lower Highland is the best neighborhood in the city for this?
In 2016 I was considering getting an mba to make a career change. Except I realized I already was making what the average Stanford grad does. Now in 2018 I’m making approximately double that. BS mech E MS petroleum E.
I would say that technical / science masters are still worth the money if you’re STEM inclined. Pretty funny though when I went to my engineering MS graduation ceremony I was one of like five people out of 800 or so with a Caucasian background the rest were Indian or Asian (mostly Chinese). This was at USC Los Angeles.
Damn very interesting. Next time I’m at work for 28 days sounds like I have some serious planning to do. I’m super stoked on knocking out some European snowboarding bucket list destinations.
Ahhh perfect thanks Dago. I knew you have been going to the alps for a while so glad you chimed in. I didn’t realize I would need a car for Chamonix, good to know though. I think doing grand montets is definitely something I’m going to look into.
Currently I work a 28 day rotation, I work 28 days at a time and 28 off. I also get free travel to wherever i want on days off. I have February off and I’m thinking of doing a full on two weeks in the alps. I wanna hit Chamonix for sure and do a guided ski day down Mont Blanc off piste.
My little sister is moving to Paris so I am planning to visit her in the beginning so I will likely start off from Paris into Chamonix but then I’d like to see a few other resorts, maybe in Switzerland or Austria?
Any other must-do experiences while I’m in the alps?
I’m an expert snowboarder and I love off piste, powder, and tree runs.
Yessir. I am working over there on a 28/28 rotational gig. It’s pretty legit, I haven’t been back to the states since May. This time off I’ll be one week in Europe then three weeks in Australia / New Zealand.
Hahaha. I work in Kazakhstan and these guys take this sort of shit very seriously. In March I was out there for the annual new year celebration, Nauryz. They had a best yurt contest and you could go from yurt to yurt and experience hospitality such as camels milk, horse sausage, fermented horse milk, and traditional music and dance.
Really it was quite fun.
Hahaha. Thanks guys for all the information. I’ll definitely check out Poechenellekelder I wouldn’t have even found that otherwise, damn what a name.
Looking forward to relaxing, this will be the start of 35 days off for me after 35 days of straight work.
I’ve got 4 days in Brussels an two days in Bruges with no real plans made. I’m staying in the city center of both.
Considering a day trip to Antwerp to meet up with a work colleague and I got a little Portuguese chica I’m meeting up with in Brussels so that will be fun. Any good date spot recommendations for Brussels would be appreciated.
Any must see things or recommendations for restaurants and beer bars? In Brussels I plan on hitting Delirium and La Mort Subite and in Bruges I’ll be hitting up De Halve Maan but aside from that I’m all ears.
This feels like the wrong time in the market cycle to be buying rental houses but hey if you can find the right price/rent combination I guess no reason not to.
Did they really hit it or did they store up a bunch of almost finished cars and then push them all out in one week like they have every other time they’ve celebrated a milestone?
If you want aviators and don’t want to buy Luxottica I recommend Randolph Engineering, they are top notch quality and you can get them with polarized lenses.
I am thinking that the withdrawal from the Iran deal may have been fully priced in already, I think there’s been a record number of long positions on crude held by hedge funds, etc for the last little while. I checked Kemp’s column today and he mentioned that with the recent highs they are starting to liquidate those positions. Commentary: Hedge funds hold fire as oil prices hit multi-year highs
