One night I was out with a friend and a guy was really pushy about buying her a drink. She felt off about it and didn’t want to take it, but our male friend was like “waste booze? Hell nah.” Within an hour he was incoherent. It wasn’t black out drunk incoherent. It was we had to carry him inside our house incoherent. It’s just a different kind of look than black out drunk. And he didn’t drink that much. It was the beginning of the night. We had all ate dinner before going out.

It’s super victim blamey to take a story about folks getting drugged and being like “sure like they just didn’t drink a ton.” I even had a night, as a person who can really put away booze, that I just don’t remember and only had 3 doubles within 3 hours. That’s not a lot for me. I’m kinda fat. But my whole night was just gone and I woke up on my friends couch cause she took me home when I could no longer form words. She knew I hadn’t drank before so knew something was wrong. Thank god.

Skybox maybe?

Not really a sports bar but Brew co has some fire vegetarian options. The cauliflower tikka masala is so good.

Galloway Station has a pretty good black bean burger. Not super sportsy, but they got a few TVs.

Bair's has a veggie burger. You can sub the veggie patty for any of the regular burgers. SBC also has some veggie options.

I’ve always liked the theory that we live in hell rn and just constantly have false hope that we’ll one day go to heaven. Then we die and our born to live another shitty life on this place we call earth

ah missed that. in that case yeah its a wash. i mean depending on how old you are never to late change careers. sadly i cant hold a medical because health stuff in the past. so im waiting for the A&P classes to open up.

but yeah id learn out SGF just get used to being in a class C more.

As mentioned in my OP, a CPL/ATP isn’t my goal (anymore—it was 20 years ago). This is just for personal fun and utility. Is there still value in going through the college?

I'm not 100% sure why but I was extremely difficult to find specific information about what the program is, until I went through orientation. Even when I applied they didn't even show the pay., I assumed based on reddit comments and reviews, and I wasn't confident until I asked during the interview.

OTC. full stop your going to pay WAY WAY WAY FUCKING MORE any where else. if your goal is a CPL or ATP

that is super helpful and informative! Thank you! Their job ad should really be more clear what's happening, what they're offering

I do now! dang, they should definitely be clearer

I have seen the gate to hell it's in Fresno California on the corner of Olive and 99.

I’m not sure. I’ll have to ask next time I’m out there. I’ve been looking for an affordable flying club in the local area for after my PPL is done, haven’t found much so far. I like the planes Aurora has for rent, but Fulltron is cheaper, if you can get on the schedule - and even then a flying club would be much more economical.

It's near the Bass Pro headquarters, I used to work there and I can confirm it is the gate to hell.

Always has been.

EDIT: the amount of pay is set by the NCS and AmeriCorp, and not by the nonprofit

I'm all a higher minimum wage but this is an interesting type of position. It's associated with a federal program called AmeriCorp VISTA and associated with the Corporation for National and Community Services. VISTA specially partners with nonprofits that serve low income/poverty stricken areas, and provides a few full-time employees for those organizations because they may not have the additional funds to hire a new person but need the help. AmeriCorp also offers an Education stipend (usually around 6,000) for finishing a term of service (up to 2 service terms), and student loan forbearance during service. Very appealing for recent grads looking for good in initial job experience.

However, to the point of pay, it is part of the mission to not be paid more than the people you are serving. So ironically their mission is to help people in poverty by putting people in poverty.

You realize that's a volunteer position, yes?

It sounds to me like they are making victims.

Aurora is a nice airport. I actually took lessons out of there when I was a kid. Do you by any chance know if there's a flying club called Vicious Goose there now? I know it sounds like a weird question but it's a club I was in a couple of years back that was really affordable. Last I'd heard they were moving from sgf to aurora for a cheaper hangar.

"Green allegedly refused to drop the knife. Green told officers to shoot him and threw the knife at them. He missed."

for all the horror stories of hearing about cops mag dumping on people for less yeah mad respect for these officers treating the situation so tactfully, with the disney ending you really want to see happen. hope the guy gets better.

I don’t think you can go wrong with either of them. EAS is definitely more established, and Fulltron is pretty new and has experienced a lot of growing pains. Them taking over 3DW could help or hurt them in that aspect. Best of luck to you!

As far as the airports go, flying out of Aurora is definitely more relaxing. At 3DW there is a tower in the traffic pattern, pattern altitude is 100’ below the floor of SGF’s class C, and 3DW does have some jet and big boy piston traffic. 2H2’s traffic is definitely calmer.

Is this the only way we get to see the corpse flower? On the Internet?

It will only smell like that for the short time it blooms. As long as they get it outside before then they'll be fine. If they don't, they're gonna have a stank ass house filled with bugs.
