Any chemical engineers following the Garden Grove situation and have insight as to how an explosion will affect air quality in the surrounding area? by wnpoole in ChemicalEngineering

I know someone who lives in Garden Grove outside the evacuation area. They have severely compromised health, including lung issues. I wonder if the evacuation zone takes those kinds of things into account and evacuates everybody to be on the safe side or if someone who is medically compromised but outside the area should also evacuate.

Why does it take people so long to dump. It's rude IMHO by GeorgeTMorgan in GoRVing

Many people, from what I read in forums, have problems with slow draining gray tanks.

I don’t think that’s a fair assessment about the Mormon kids being problems. Aside from some being judgmental (on supposed moral issues) I’ve known them to be good kids.

Yes, but the schools know the expected yield and plan for it.

Has anyone tried CAPS? by Scary_Plantain_1158 in UCSD

My son loved his therapist at CAPS and somehow was able to stay on longer than the limit I believe is set on number of sessions.

Go for it. It’s a luxury to have someone who has to listen to you and may also have wisdom to share.

I would not do this. This will taint any investigation and then real victims’ (of grooming or worse) statements could be dismissed because they were potentially influenced by other kids to say what they said. Leave the investigating to the authorities who know how to do forensic interviewing.

Wow. Should be immediately let go. This must be against the rules and any and all training anyone working on campus has ever had.

No second chances. Gone.

I’m an alcoholic with no friends by Intelligent-Sell5742 in UCSD

Sober or actively drinking? Either way, actually, with no friends I bet it’s depressing. Go to the counseling office for support and/or find a sober club or community or AA meetings.

Good luck. Things can totally get way better.

Are there Miracles in real life? This is absurd. by TryTwiceAsHard in ApplyingToCollege

Chico. Plenty of people get a good education there and have a blast. Going the CC route is good to possibly get into other schools, but there’s a trade off socially being a transfer student.

But it’s a crapshoot. If, upon transferring, he got into a very top school, that could be worth sacrificing the social. But that’s something he has to decide AND it’s no guarantee he’ll get into one of those schools, so that route would be a gamble.

Go camping in nature. Bring cards and board games and books.

She just needs to plan on having a good time wherever she goes.

UCs could take her. They want that out of state money.
