Ah! If you look at that carbon, it’s a stereocenter (attached to 4 different substituents). The squiggly line on the CH3 means that the compound is a mixture of the (S) form (where the CH3 points out of the page) and the (R) form (where the CH3 points into the page.

Hey, was just wondering what the squiggly line branching out from the right-hand side represents.
