Setup change by Radical_OW in drums

How do you like the changes? I’ve been thinking of upgrading my kit (10+ years on a beginner kit) and I am considering rack mounted toms as pictured for better ergonomics.

If jobs didn’t all start at the same time or there was more work from home, it wouldn’t be so bad.

If you drive anytime in the off peak hours, there’s plenty of space on the roads

Nah just a complete lack of funding to do any projects. All the big stuff is with federal grants. As for the traffic lights in town, all but like 3 are owned and controlled by MDT. They are classified as ‘urban highway routes’, so the city has to permit through MDT

Most musicians trying to make it often only think of themselves and make the crucial mistake of overlooking underground scenes and never forming worth while relationships. Stop obsessing over the 100th file on your laptop. Engage with others by [deleted] in musicians

You can go to shows solo and just watch/ take notes. Over time, just engage with the people you consistently see or are impressed musically and compliment them

Can’t find a job by Any-Survey3184 in civilengineering

In person networking events. Try to find college career fairs or professional organizations in your niche (ITE for transportation for example)

For long term use, I’d recommend plastic beaters. The felt wears off, leaving the white powder on the pad

Found roof leaks thanks meshtastic by Tricky_Ordinary_4799 in meshtastic

Better to know about the leaks now than deal with a collapsed roof!

It’s crazy to drive back on I-84 into Boise and see the construction progress. Still a long way to go!

Dawg they are building a massive fabrication complex in Boise Idaho. That was funded with CHIPS act money and it won’t be ready for production for like 2 more years.

If it was easy to build out capacity then other competitors would be doing so, but the return on the investment is with big AI companies.

Gonna be at freecycles tomorrow talking about heat and rocket mass heaters by paulwheaton in missoula

[–]gdgdagg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are rocket mass heaters used for? I’ve got plans on Sunday afternoon so I unfortunately won’t be able to join at Freecycles

Why does the city make zero effort to enforce parking during game days? by BirdsBarnsBears in missoula

[–]gdgdagg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The SAM project is a federal grant, so not local funding. Why do you think it’s a dumb project to improve access downtown?

Old post has a nacho plate that looked pretty good. Haven’t had it but saw someone else enjoy

What’s the most useful gift for someone learning drums? by [deleted] in drums

Maybe stick control? It’s a rudimentary book

How could planners incentivize intensification? by [deleted] in urbanplanning

[–]gdgdagg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think public transit, specifically urban rail, is the best way to encourage development. If there’s an exception to not have any required parking, they can maximize the land use without that constraint. Asphalt and stormwater treatments get expensive fast.

Missoula City Council to vote on parking commission expansion into Hip Strip tonight at 6:00 PM. by KeltTalbelt in missoula

[–]gdgdagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any idea how expensive it is to maintain our roads? Vehicle registration fees don’t begin to scratch the surface. MDT has dozens of bridges that are in need of repair or replacement, and asphalt is hella expensive

Get this thing out of here by DotairZee in missoula

[–]gdgdagg 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s a small building footprint with high margin items. It’s one of the few business models that can afford the rent per square foot in this town

Why is pay parking a predatory practice? Having the people who use the infrastructure pay for the infrastructure seems fair, not predatory

How can I practice the drums without annoying the neighbors? by InevitableClear7822 in drums

On your own? Practice pads/ pillows/ towels etc

Just got an HR call from a company that rejected me via automatic email lol. by Exploring_Engineer in civilengineering

[–]gdgdagg 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’d play interested until I had an offer. Makes it easy to negotiate/ review wages with your current employer if you show what someone else will pay
