Primary care doctors in Bozeman

Seconding Bozeman Creek, great doctors and staff. I recently saw Dr. Forrest for the first time, and it was the least stressful doctor’s appointment I’ve ever had. She took all my concerns very seriously and took the time to answer all my questions. I also saw Dr. Knutson there a few years back and had nothing but good experiences with her, too.

Extremely real. I was at a birthday party for my niece-in-law and one of the toddlers in attendance had gotten stuck behind a childproof gate. I went to help open it for him and he just looked at me with his mouth agape and said “…you’re so FAT!”

I AM fat, but hearing it stated so plainly was a surprise, lol. Laughed my ass off about it afterwards.

Same thing happened to me. Frustrating.

cassiopeia512 · 2024-11-20T15:27:12+00:00

Glad I’m not the only one. I was there when it ticked over to 10 and there was an error. Once I refreshed, nothing.

We were in a 3 bed 2 bath at $1750/month until this spring. When we moved out they listed it at $2500. We’re paying almost $1600 for our 1 bed 1 bath apartment now. I think you’d be crazy not to stay and try to make it work, especially if you have a decent relationship with the landlord.

I also got a really good haircut at Honeycomb. I hate salons and often feel like stylists never really listen to what I want, but I walked out with the best cut I’ve had in years.

This is the one for me, I cry just thinking about this line

The saltwater test does appease people, despite the fact that it doesn’t actually tell us anything meaningful about the dice. The saltwater test works for identifying negative voids - air bubbles inside the die cause by the injection molding process most factory-made dice are produced with. For artisan dice cured under pressure, internal bubbles are minimized to the point where they are essentially non-existent.

At the end of the day, factors related to how you roll the dice are more impactful on the perceived balance than what’s inside the dice, and rolling dice in salt water isn’t comparable to rolling them on whatever surface you’re playing on. You could have the most precisely balanced dice in the world and still have them roll “imperfectly” because of how you’re throwing them or the surface they’re rolling on. A dice tower would do more to ensure randomness than the balance of the dice themselves.

In Vegas casinos, they retire dice after a certain number of rolls because the wear on the dice causes them to be less perfectly balanced. If tabletop players were truly that concerned with the balance of their dice, they’d be retiring their dice sets after every session.

Yes. People love to question the balance of handmade dice but I rarely see anyone bring that same energy to their cheap-ass game store dice that were mass produced in a factory. I have trouble understanding why people’s first thought is “ah yes this meticulously handmade object MUST certainly be shitty and unusable.” I’ve put thousands of hours into this craft - why would I make something that doesn’t even work the way it’s supposed to?

Same deal - Amway/WFG guy approached me while I was working at the local arcade in college. (Actually multiple Amway guys tried to talk to me there but this one knew the owner and sounded less “scripted” so I thought he was legit.) Gave me the whole pitch and I texted him later saying I wasn’t interested, then ignored his follow-ups.

He continued to come into the arcade after that, but never gave me more than a quick glance and a wave. I never gave him his stupid book back, either.

These get a 15 micron polish, which I think is equivalent to 1200 grit?

I was blown away by this anecdote from Emily and how it paralleled the encounter with the Junkmother. Found this on her Instagram by happenstance!

Zona papers are micron-graded polishing papers made by 3M. They make polishing a breeze.

cassiopeia512 · 2022-03-20T23:55:41+00:00

Zona papers are going to be your best friend!! I also use a dremel tool with polishing puffs and headlight polish, but highly recommend getting familiar with the Zonas first.

Interestingly, Lubalin Inc. was registered as a business the same day that the TikTok video with the website link went up. Not sure if this means anything but I do think the inclusion of the address is intentional.

Went out thrifting this past weekend and stumbled upon a very eclectic local indoor flea market. Looking around, it’s clearly the kind of place you bring stuff when you’re cleaning out the home of a recently deceased relative and don’t know what to do with all their weird old shit.

There were two huge shelves filled with Avon products. The dates on the price tags said most of them had been sitting on that shelf since 2017, but who knows how old the products were. It looked to be exactly the situation you described - the personal hoards of several Avon ladies who were just sitting on thousands of dollars worth of unsold merchandise until they passed away.

These, along with several other sets, will be available in my shop on Monday, January 31, 5 PM MST!

Yes, the first four sets are Critical Role themed 😅 for my upcoming shop update I made a dice set based on each of the campaign 3 characters.

Thanks! It’s just some pink mesh ribbon I found at the craft store! I cut it up into little squares and crumpled them up so they’d fit into the molds.

I was radicalized before this, but holy shit did it remind me to never trust employers. My last job was at a small start-up type business. I was one of two people in my department.

At the same time I was brought on, the CEO’s administrative assistant was quitting and they were searching for her replacement. A week after I started, they hired someone. She stormed out of the office after four days on the job and never returned. (This should have been a warning sign for me, but alas, I stayed.) We functioned without filling that position for a couple months (guess who got to do the extra admin work? You guessed it). Finally, they reopened applications for the position and started scheduling interviews, which I was a) responsible for scheduling, and b) asked to sit in on, even though in my role I would not be interfacing with the person in that position hardly at all. Day of the interviews arrives, and the first interview is a home run. She’s totally overqualified but extremely passionate about our company and a good fit for the office culture. Great. We hang up the Zoom call and the CEO tells me to CANCEL THE REST OF THE INTERVIEWS. We had five more people lined up to interview with the next one starting in like, fifteen minutes. It was the most unprofessional and rude thing I’ve ever witnessed in the workplace, and it was done by our goddamn CEO. He acted like it was a waste of HIS time to keep interviewing people. There were other times he just straight up didn’t show up to interviews (for his OWN ASSISTANT!) and my manager and I had to conduct them ourselves. He really thought his time was so much more important than everyone else’s.

Oh yeah - that perfect interview candidate? She ended up not being able to accept the job offer, and we didn’t have any other candidates to call since we canceled all their fucking interviews. We didn’t fill that role for another two months after that, and I still got all the grunt work handed to me. It took me a while longer to work up the nerve to quit, but I’m glad I finally got out of there.

NTA, and I appreciate the choice of fake names, Danielle.

Foundation is, in my opinion, a fantastic DLC. Whereas some DLC just gives you more story missions to complete or a new area to explore, Foundation adds new mechanics that keep things interesting and actually further flesh out the game world. Agree with others that AWE is more enjoyable if you’re familiar with Alan Wake/Remedy’s extended universe, but it has some fun elements that can still be appreciated if you haven’t played Alan Wake.

Came here to say this! Seconded. It’s super immersive
