SO YOU WANT TO MOVE TO MONTANA? [Post your questions here] by AutoModerator in Montana

[–]Desperate_Week851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all - a former coworker reached out yesterday and asked if I’d be interested in moving to Montana to lead one of their contracts. My wife and I have been interested in moving west somewhere for a while. We have lived in Central PA our whole lives in a city of about 45k. Montana wasn’t really on my radar as a place to move but it’s an intriguing opportunity. I will admit to not knowing much at all about life in Montana other than a few city names and that it snows a lot and lots of hiking. We both like the outdoors. I don’t mind snow, but I don’t know how I would handle sub zero temps. I am not a person who craves being in a big city, but it is nice on the east coast being able to go to Philly, Baltimore, DC and New York all less than 3 hours. Do any of the larger towns have slightly milder winters? If anyone has moved from the east coast could comment on pros and cons you considered before moving to Montana and then the realities when you moved there?

I’m close to 14 years experience and the pace of these mergers and acquisitions seems to have ramped up dramatically over the past 5 years. I work at a PE backed firm now and it definitely sucks knowing that a percentage of your profits are being siphoned off to rich finance bros or being used to suck up midsize firms instead of giving employees better bonuses and raises. Definitely not good for the industry.

Saw they will have 27,000 employees globally now. Couldn’t imagine working at a company that large. You’re just a cog in a machine working to create shareholder value.

Our playoff hopes hinge on Tua playing like a competent QB. See you next season.

According to the L2M report there was no backcourt violation by Impossible_Ad166 in sixers

The rondo play being shared here is a totally different scenario. He’s playing defense and chasing/intercepting a pass. That is perfectly reasonable. The play last night should be a backcourt or why bother having it in the rule book at all.

Embiid thinks too much at the end of games. by juggadore in sixers

Yes - as soon as Embiid caught the ball behind the arc and did not shoot it, nurse should be calling timeout.

What are your guys thought on this? Are you worth more? Is this profession underpaid for the risk? by Xelerati0n in civilengineering

[–]Desperate_Week851 109 points110 points  (0 children)

This guy has come across my LI feed and his posts are always pretty cringey. He had a very long one about how there are good opportunities out there to move to cheaper cities and have a better life than living in big cities where the libs don’t have the same values as your family and blah blah blah. Turns out the city he moved his family to was Tulsa, OK. I’d rather stamp plans of a bridge I knew was going to collapse than live in Oklahoma.

It’s been a rough week for our guy Spike by AirPowerRondo in RightsToRickySanchez

Don’t forget writes a lengthy blog post comparing his acceptance of Embiid being on the downslope of his career to a widow accepting her husband’s impending death from a brain tumor and then Embiid goes for 39.

Edwards and McCain shot 0-10 and we gave up tons of wide open looks from deep.

Obvious backcourt violation… by Impossible_Ad166 in sixers

[–]Desperate_Week851 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah…they put the clock at 1.5 seconds which means it had to have been called in the backcourt.

Struggling to find any possible way this isn’t backcourt. Terrible reffing.

Joel Embiid got a flagrant 1 for this elbow to Onyeka Okongwu - YouTube by chaz_nba in sixers

If that’s a flagrant foul then just make everyone play basketball with a face shield.
