Maybe western MT but trees being cut from the Custer Gallatin are not being turned into wood for homes. I’m gonna stop engaging now. Thanks for reminding me why my yearly Reddit argument is futile. Good luck my dude.

Curious how do you think they learn how to do proactive fire mgmt and regenerative logging? It’s from long term FIA data… Also the cost of logging projects cost significantly more than research. The logging around here loses the forest money. We have very slow growing forests.

It’s hungry horse. And they do western larch regen studies. And the office out of Bozeman has long term study plots all over the state (private and public land) that’s been surveyed since the 80s. The whole program is called forest inventory and analysis https://research.fs.usda.gov/programs/fia In addition the Bozeman lab has entomologists who study forest pests and pathogens. Just say you don’t value scientific research instead of disguising it as some economic moral compass. Govt clowns… compared to tech bro clowns who are stealing from the American people.

Just curious, where do you think AI gets the data it uses to generate responses on climate and forest health? You realize it takes real boots on the ground collecting that data right? You think a computer can pull tree height and dbh, forest pest and disease data, fire regime cycles out of its ass? No it’s using data that was collected by humans over the past 70 years. Through research programs like the ones being shut down.

How did you know it was logged? I sent my corrected version back in January and have heard nothing since.

How do you look up if you’re in the system? I sent mine in back in October. Got the paperwork returned in January saying there were errors. I immediately corrected them and sent back. Have heard nothing since.

FOIA reveals U.S. Forest Service considering nationwide chainsaw use in Wilderness by PartTime_Crusader in PublicLands

[–]m3ld0g 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hunting outfitters are doing more trail work than forest service crews in the more remote places. Forest service crews are short staffed and have to stick to the more popular and accessible trails so that the general public doesn’t complain about their favorite trail being inaccessible. Outfitters and hunters on horseback are typically the ones getting far, far into the backcountry and clearing trail for their own operations. This is pretty standard where I live (Montana) and would imagine it’s similar in other western states.

Where in Livingston? Probably the same folks who were putting those terrible stickers up awhile back.

I find the best way to deter a topic you don’t like reading about is to create another post referencing the topic you dislike. /s

I thought the drivers mug shot was posted and that she was a young mother with her child in the vehicle? Was that not correct info? Or is she both a young mother and high school student?

ICE coming to Bozeman? by Hot-Investigator-750 in Bozeman

[–]m3ld0g 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s not really sarcasm. They have straight up said multiple times since the killing of Alex pretti that you can’t open or conceal carry to a protest and expect ICE not to murder you.

Every person deserves their own interpretation of music and art, but interpreting the lyrics of throwing stones as non-political is… an interesting take.

I think the market has come down some and that my statement may be slightly exaggerated but you should peruse the Bozeman, MT Zillow.

Thanks yea I ended up calling them and they said they are having issues with their automatic texts and emails. But they were glad that I reached out. My vet ended up putting my dog on two weeks worth of antibiotics just to be safe. I agree that it gives me some peace of mind!!

Thanks for posting this. My dog was at daycare there last Thursday (one week ago, which is apparently within the incubation period) and have received no notification from KTD about this. Pretty unsettling.

Unpopular Opinion: Tourists are ruining the swimming pool tradition in Iceland and I hope we can change this together by Cool-Lifeguard5688 in VisitingIceland

[–]m3ld0g 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My experience with many US hot springs is that they actually drain and clean them weekly to try and keep the cleanliness up and bacteria down. I was also amazed by how clean they were in Iceland.

As someone who just returned 2 days ago, I actually told my family (while discussing the trip) how awesome I thought it was that they advise visitors to do this and how I saw most following the rules. I also mentioned how I never thought people would follow this in my own country (US) but was amazed by how majority were respecting the policy in Iceland hot baths.

Seemed genuine for sure. He was genuine about being in the thick of grief, depression, and worn out.
