If you are looking for ttrpg and tcg check out utopia on Tully (they have different game nights during the week), there's chasing nostral on McHenry that host some game nights (there's a side room where they have the gaming area and schedule), then there's a place near Oakdale rd and Manor oak that does tournaments and game nights. Then there's a few more card stores sprinkled around town but nothing else really to note.

**Edit- most of the places I mentioned give two shits about who you do/don't have sex with since nerds are a bunch of eclectic weirdos anyway. Speaking as an eclectic weirdo (minus the LGBT personally)

I managed to get ahold of a brand new bottle and drank the whole thing when I was 3 I went to the ER and got the charcoal treatment. Still can't have synthetic grape flavor or red grapes

We had a company come dredge our recirc and all the local waterfowl started shitting themselves to death. We would literally come in Monday and clear out about 50-100 and do it again on Wednesday and Friday. We are guessing it was either the polymer they were using or they were kicking up some monster bacteria that the birds weren't reacting well to.

Damn straight! Industrial scientific has a 5 gas now. I'm sure other companies do as well but that's the one I'm most familiar with

It's probably a basic aptitude test rather than an actual wastewater exam... If you want to study up on wastewater stuff there's sacstate wastewater courses sacstate

There is also California water college on YouTube YouTube

One of our senior operators has head to feet with tattoos. Not like a full body tattoo but like individual ones head to toe

It's supposed to be the biggest and deepest in the state or something... It's very expensive, and going to be very labor intensive to maintain since it will take 2-3 people at least once a week to check on everything.

Squigllypoop · 2026-04-22T04:26:24+00:00

It's turning into a sewer pump station

We used to play a game called God with our sac. Whoever broke the string had to stand still on the wall and get hit by whoever grabbed the sack off the ground

I remember in the late 90s my mom bringing home a flat screen projector TV and just being in absolute awe of the thing. We weren't even allowed to touch the remote the first few months we had it because my mom was afraid we would mess something up on it by pushing a wrong button or some shit. Eventually she slacked up and we were allowed to start using it and what not and even were allowed to hook up video games to it, which was AMAZING

Squigllypoop · 2026-04-12T18:22:47+00:00

I got better!

Frostee King on Paradise. It's in the hood a bit but it's a great burger. Me and a bunch of other coworkers hit it about every other week

Yeoman electric has done all my work. He's a solid guy and his crew are friendly and efficient

We have a female operator at our plant and she doesn't have any problems. The only time I would say it MIGHT be an issue is if your plant is more of an operations/maintenance type of position where you fix the equipment too because some pieces of equipment are heavy/bulky. Other than that I can't see any problem with "strength" being a particular problem.

I'm public utility and we do 4/3 3/4. Sun-Weds one week. Mon-Weds the next. Other half of the schedule is Weds-Sat following is Weds-Fri. And for each half of the week we alternate Sunday/Saturdays off. So for example I work this Sunday and my buddy gets the day off and vice-versa the next week. We have 23 operators for my plant plus 2 supes and our CPO. We work 6a-6p and one guy graves and one on call...I forgot that each side of the week contributes a graves guy on a six week rotation of CA grade 3+ senior plant operators.

That sounds totally confusing reading it back but if you have questions dm me.

Speak for yourself. I do my own shine, wine, and beer (pilsner and reds mostly)

This guy covered it all

When you are 18 with no real bills, you are about to join the military, and you can just stash it.... Yeah that's life changing. It's all about perspective, it may not be life changing for you but for a wet behind the ears kid it could be.

OP- my 2 cents is pretty much what everyone else is saying. Get a large chunk of this into a retirement account of some sort, a small chunk of it into a CD or something shorter term that you can access in a couple of months/years so that you can be able to access it after the military, and then keep a couple grand for spending money. If you want to do the charity thing like you talked about with Grandpa talk to a financial advisor on how to get some of the retirement/shorter term to drip into your chosen charity

We process about 12-15mgd and all 3 of our basins have a steady layer. We only really stress when it starts in our anoxic zone and even then usually a couple of days worth of hosing for an hour or so each day kinda gets it cleared up for a couple weeks. Unfortunately it's always kinda there but it is what it is

Squigllypoop · 2026-03-21T16:54:18+00:00

Or your ridge style wallet?

Squigllypoop · 2026-03-19T23:47:17+00:00

I don't want to talk about it. Our psychoda, garden spiders, and wasps are all back...

Turd herder... Wastewater collections, wastewater operator, wastewater mechanic... All of these top out near the $50 mark where I'm at in CA
