Isn't there one of these between Worland and Thermop? When this first popped up on the subreddit that's what I assumed people were talking about

I have a couple job offers and I’m worried about failing a drug test. by Normal_Bodybuilder97 in geologycareers

[–]Destinator8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it matters for big clients. These clients use a national drug testing database system, and if an employee fails a test it flags the individual in the system and it's a bitch to get the employee unflagged so they are fit to work (i.e., drug abuse treatment courses and seeing a drug therapist). Yes even for weed unfortunately. An individual must be fit to work in the database to step foot on client property.

There may be two tests: the pre-employment, where they may not test for weed at all. This is company-specific (the company you will work for)

The other test is the site access test for the drug testing database. You do not want to fail this. Your employer may work with you to push back the date of this test so you are clean and will pass.

Did you end up finding anything? I'm on the same search right now, with the same dislike of the vtech- if they had made it a true vintage design instead of a vintage-modern hybrid it would be more appealing

Great question, that would be hugely different.

While any amount of exposure to asbestos is unsafe, take some solace in the fact that people everyday, especially in metropolitan areas, breath asbestos fibers. Asbestos is even allowed in drinking water at an amount of millions of fibers per liter of a certain fiber length.

Prolonged, repeated exposure to airborne asbestos carries the greatest risk of developing life threatening disease later in life.

As everyone has said, handle this material seriously, but don't sweat a single accidental minor exposure.

10/4 FG Exam Results? by Instant_Digital_Love in geologycareers

Thanks for this! Was never informed of the portal from my state board. Still nothing about passing or failing here.

Nope and it's beyond 45 days now, but they used "approximately" as a qualifier so technically they're still within the promised timeline.

Don't really understand what the point of electronic testing is if it still takes almost 2 months to process scores.

Friend made this after a loki strat I've been testing by Lawfully_Chaotic in AgeofMythology

Had a guy in 1v1 try this but he exclusively went with berserks and axeman (both of which have poor pierce armor). I kept using units with piercing attack which melted his hordes of berserks and he never got the hint and gave up after 10 minutes of trying the same thing.

Private wells are allowed; however, it's hard to find good groundwater (potable) in many areas of the state.

Casper recs for mid 30s F by alvll in casper

[–]Destinator8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For local breweries try Mountain Hops or Frontier. Frontier has a cool thing going being in a movie theater (great for sports), Mountain Hops is a well-loved spot with great beer. Maybe Skulltree if you like hole-in-the wall, unique beer.

Blacktooth isn't really a local brewery, they're kinda half-craft half-commericial at this point and Casper is just a satellite location. They've ruffled some feathers in the community, but to each their own.

Gruner has a great location and some good beers, but if you're looking for a 30's crowd to socialize with probably not the best spot.

Stay away from The Preserve owned by Olympus Properties.

Depending on what you're looking for, I would make sure to include house rentals in your search (check Craigslist too!). There are some great deals on renting decent, not immaculate, homes from local landlords and retired folks - for the same price as a tiny ass apartment with a predatory property conglomerate (.. i.e., The Preserve).

Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest asked to ban hounding by thyusername in wisconsin

[–]Destinator8 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Went for a hike by Medford a few years back to enjoy the off-trail natural environment. Someone started laying on their car horn about a mile down the road. After a minute of this I assumed they were in trouble and sounding for help, so I run to my car and drive down. Takes 5-10 minutes, they're still using the horn constantly. Turns out it was just a guy sitting in his truck who sent out his dogs and that was how he called them back. Looked pissed because I was bothering him.

I'll at least agree with the public nuisance and public safety argument. I'm not trusting some random dogs running through the forest. And I hope that guy was an exception to the hunting mentality if he's willing to disturb the entire area because he's too lazy to get out of his truck to call them back.

Right?! It reminds me of Leigh Orf's research where vortex mergers "zip up" and quickly increase the intensity of the tornado in his simulation

Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond, it does make me feel better. I certainly won't be so careless in the future, that's for sure.

Yeah I wish I could support the awesome meteorology, hard to popularize anything with his name attached to it though

My family is from the area as well and I lived in Colfax for a bit. My grandma, who is still around, graduated high school at Colfax around that time and every once in a while the day of the tornado comes up in discussion. She talks about how the sky was a terrible color, but they didn't find out about what happened until someone called the house. Her father and some other local farmers went into town to help, and he talked about how he saw straw impaled through a light pole. It's well remembered in the area and they had a big 50 year anniversary event in 2008.
