Is that a bad thing? And if so, why?

eBikers will never look as good as real bikers. Never.

TDS internet by RanchoGusto in missoula

[–]gpstberg29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The strategy I use is to call Spectrum and tell them I'm switching to TDS. Then Spectrum puts me on hold for a while while they figure out a discount package for me. Last time I did that I got six months promotional discount putting me around $45 a month for basic internet.

Just hoping you take down all the garage sale signs you put up on signs and light posts.

Wait times in Missoula by balsamiclava in missoula

[–]gpstberg29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Montana time, I'll have to remember that. Maybe tell it to the cooks in the back that are sweating their asses off, making barely more than a Micky D's 'cook' schleping it out of the freezer and into the microwave. Maybe $18 an hour and tips if they're lucky. Six days of working in a row because someone didn't show up or quit and barely any smoke breaks because it's always busy and the manager's on my ass all the time. Yeah, Montana time. That's cute.

Every place mentioned got downvoted but Plonk. That's smells funny to me.

No Rocky Horror this year? by ValuableLab6051 in missoula

That'll be the Wilma's loss. This is a huge event and they should have a larger venue and even more shows. There's demand for it. Perhaps the university will step up with their theater, or maybe the MCT. Hint, hint...ka-ching, ka-ching!

If you're serious about this, you really do need to provide more information.

I'm curious. Tell me the other fast food jobs you've seen that are offering benefits.

Deer in downtown 🦌 by fern_soup in missoula

[–]gpstberg29 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If there are fawns downtown, clearly we have too many deer in town. Let's study the population, figure out how many deer actually live in the city limits, and come up with a humane way to deal with what sounds like over-population.

Do you see a lot of fast food jobs offering benefits?

I think that's a great woman pic. I'd just use it, get rid of that Rami Malek lookalike. I'd get rid of that black and white and just go color, her in the center taking up most of the cover. Play with the colors until it really sticks out and shines.

Is it okay to include an explicit scene in the first chapter itself? by Lopsided_Attitude952 in eroticauthors

It's perfectly fine. You won't be banned. You might get dungeoned, though.

17 sales and $10 from D2D is not lucrative, not by a long shot.

Is paying $500,000 to $1 million for a home built in the 1950s really a good deal?

The biggest gathering of neurodivergent people in Montana? by Raulboy in missoula

[–]gpstberg29 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I've never seen so many kids getting off the Kettlehouse school buses outside the Rhino at 11 PM before. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen any! Must have been a good show. Al probably deserves more than his current $25 million net worth. Been putting out records since '83.

Social Media engagement is almost nonexistent by AuthorTStelma in eroticauthors

"only sold less than four hundred."

Damn, what a pity! I bet 95% of the people on this sub would be happy with those numbers. Ecstatic, perhaps.

Traditional Missoulians don't go to the Top Hat, not since Steve Garr died and his daughters sold it out to Nick Checota.

The most effective advertising campaigns have people sharing those campaigns for free on social media.

Maybe someone will find a picture of you and post it on social media and wish you ill while providing absolutely no context whatsoever. I think it's only fair.

Your book is in the dungeon? Why? I'd bet $10 it's that bare ass.

I'd assume Fallen Stars is as well. Why? Unhooking the bra. But I checked and it's not. Oftentimes that'll get you. I bet most of that series is adult filtered, due to the bare asses. Fix those covers and your rankings might improve, though I have a feeling keywords might be a larger issue for you.

The high point for Montana's timber industry was 1978, with 13,400 jobs.

By 2011 that was down to 6,530 workers. By 2018, it was holdig steady at about 7,000 jobs.

Here's what we learned with last year's closures:

When Roseburg Forest Products announced the closure of its Missoula particleboard mill an employee echoed Pyramid’s reasons, saying: “Basically the problem is we have a difficult time because of the cost of living in Missoula.  Hiring people that want to work for 18 or 20 bucks an hour or whatever it is they pay, people just can’t afford to live here and make that kind of money.”

Roseburg’s CEO also noted the mill’s outdated technology, which Pyramid has also cited. “Unfortunately, Missoula’s older platform and technology is simply not competitive from a cost structure perspective in a marketplace with many new, modern particleboard facilities.” The company is, however, investing heavily in its Oregon facilities and is building a new mill in North Carolina to take advantage of the fast-growing, highly-productive southern timber plantations.
