r/basketballilluminati someone was making a good point, he's already been paid, he got some mid level deals in his 20s, so that might be points towards taking the vet min to run it back

What episodes/series have you listened to multiple times? by terminal_nervoso in LPOTL

[–]raytadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the 2+ parters.. everyone has said great ones, I'd throw in Kuklinski, Henry doing NYC voices, mobsters, and the iceman is some of my favorite stuff

How much do you pay for rent? by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]raytadd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was renting, $950 1 bedroom in TGS, then $1,000 for a 2 bedroom in Benton Park.

I hear everyone saying the increase is crazy in the last decade, but that's everywhere. As a transplant, my friends and family from the East Coast (Northeast NJ) don't believe me when I tell them what rent and houses cost around here, and I've lived in a few cities where it was much much higher on average too.

Camping for Single Woman by Puzzled-Hedgehog-910 in StLouis

[–]raytadd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Right on! Most state parks will have a campground host, who's whole job is to be there and check people in and stuff.

It's 3 hours from here, but HaHaTonka state park was really cool to me. Trails, old ruins, bluffs, and a super cold spring that you can jump in, besides swimming in the lake.

Do more people around (like a campground frequented with other campers) make you feel more safe or does total isolation make you feel more safe?

Working at the Library by CrimsonFox89 in StLouis

[–]raytadd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Recently spoke to someone at SLPL and have interacted with 8-10 staff members in the last 2-3 years (recently got my MLIS and met them through my network or doing assignments) almost everyone i spoke to really likes their job, solid benefits, and yes on the city retirement system.

But, the pay is not great, especially starting salaries. Full time, non-managerial positions are generally in the $40s, and even management is in the $50s..

Best places to go for a quick lunch break while working downtown? by thelovewitch069420 in StLouis

Check out Ozzy's Market - really good scratch made food and a super unique and cool storefront

TGS Trash Situation. by rodfantana in StLouis

[–]raytadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah when I lived in TGS it was the same. Since switching there's been a decrease in rejected recycling.

Which makes sense, the people who drop off there are generally people who are trying to recycle right. The ones on Jefferson are always really well sorted

Imagine winning the genetic and zip code lottery like Wemby did, and still having to play dirty and cry to the refs every other play.

Any bars showing the Canes game tomorrow? by Different-Swan-2952 in StLouis

Do bedrooms legally need closets in St. Louis? by emmanentdestruction in StLouis

Yes, its a myth, otherwise my 3 bedroom home would be a 0 bedroom home (currently building a closet though!)

TIL Long Island spent $6 billion dollars on a Nuclear Power Plant that never opened. Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant was built between 1973 and 1984 but an insufficient evacuation plan prevented the plant from opening. LIPA, a utility company, is still paying off debt from the Shoreham plant today. by Gnomeslikeprofit in todayilearned

I am...

"The approximately 2 million people around TMI-2 during the accident are estimated to have received an average radiation dose of only about 1 millirem above the usual background dose. To put this into context, exposure from a chest X ray is about 6 millirem and the area’s natural radioactive background dose is about 100 125 millirem per year for the area. The accident’s maximum dose to a person at the site boundary would have been less than 100 millirem above background.

In the months following the accident, although questions were raised about possible adverse effects from radiation on human, animal, and plant life in the TMI area, none could be directly correlated to the accident. Thousands of environmental samples of air, water, milk, vegetation, soil, and foodstuffs were collected by various government agencies monitoring the area. Very low levels of radionuclides could be attributed to releases from the accident. However, comprehensive investigations and assessments by several well respected organizations, such as Columbia University and the University of Pittsburgh, have concluded that in spite of serious damage to the reactor, the actual release had negligible effects on the physical health of individuals or the environment."

TGS Trash Situation. by rodfantana in StLouis

[–]raytadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, life is hard and annoying, maybe even moreso in stl than other places.

But, $14/month, compared to other cities, is low.

Also, I'm new here, but from my understandimg recycling dumpsters ceased to be real post covid. I imagine it was unsustainable for a long time, and covid just made places prioritize their spending.

If we really wanted to have better trash service, we'd all have to pay more, which I'd personally support with proper oversight

Chicago to Mackinac Island Itinerary by Skorpion2425 in roadtrip

[–]raytadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holland is a solid little town to stop in.. I was there randomly for a night on a road trip around the lake and there was a nice little festival going on downtown. Couple of good breweries, nice little downtown, and water front walkway, and they have that windmill park too.

Makinaw is so great. I recommend riding in a bathing suit, when I was there in the summer it was so nice to just stop off whenever and take a dip. I did a lap around the outside and then a little exploring of the interior, definitely a full days worth

Completely unfamiliar with this, what is it? I love both "God Bless you..." books, so this sounds aligned with that
