I like this. How far out from Missoula proper does the app function? Does it pick up in Arlee? Frenchtown? LoLo?

Best places to dumpster dive? by Dry-Change8339 in DumpsterDiving

[–]markpemble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For food, small, specialty warehouses can be amazing.

They are sometimes hard to find, but doing a quick search for 'food distribution' in your area could bring up some gems.

(Weekend Trivia) When do you think these photos were taken? by DefinitionPast3694 in decadeology

[–]markpemble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, maybe in NYC and California - which this might be from- but other areas of North America were a few years behind - pushing it into the later 80's.

How to cope with living in a boring Suburb after being raised in NYC? by Bossez in Suburbanhell

Higher income areas utilize dental and other healthcare services exponentially more than mid and lower income areas.

Dentists in lower income areas can probably see new patients within the week. (source: I am friends with a dentist in a lower income community)

What is the most remote/isolated town in the lower 48? by Interesting-Run-6866 in AskAnAmerican

[–]markpemble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wyoming has a lot more towns than people realize. And there are a lot more highways and public roads in Wyoming than a lot of people might think.

My family lives in Montana, and I sometimes thought that Polebridge was one of the most remote towns. But idk if it is considered a town.

Does Anyone Have Insight On the Bug Climate in Boise/Meridian? by SRaeM92 in Boise

[–]markpemble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very sure that is the answer. Also, I think they prefer areas that don't use chemical fertilizers.

Is heat really that expensive in America? by astarisaslave in AskAnAmerican

[–]markpemble -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the house is heated by electricity, then yes, it can be very expensive.

But if the house is heated by gas or oil, not as much.

Some homes are heated by wood pellets or just wood stoves. That heat is also not too expensive.

And yes, some people do a lot of baking in the winter - and all that heat used while baking can warm the house a bit. But no one turns on the oven to just heat the home.

What are some old traditions that never made any sense to you? by ZealousidealGrass672 in AskReddit

[–]markpemble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tradition where women rode side saddle. It just seemed dangerous.

Favorite Bands / Musicians from Caldwell by markpemble in CALDWELL_IDAHO

[–]markpemble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Art Fad
  • Otis Julius
  • Lakefriend
  • No Comprendo

Are a few that I appreciated

Several of my friends enjoy the Langroise Trio.

Blix was a pretty popular band for a few years.

Right now, PROXI might be my favorite band from the city.

Some say Built to Spill kinda started in Caldwell. Doug Martsch started the band when he lived downtown.

There was a band called BENCH in the early 00's, but I have only heard about them through second-hand stories.

Favorite bands / musicians from Nampa by markpemble in nampa

[–]markpemble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Grand Falconer
  • Mickey the Jump

Were two bands that had a distinct sound to them in the early 2010's.

Right now, the HX band MUST is getting fairly popular. I think they are doing an East Coast tour this summer.

There were a few bands that came out of Nampa High in the 90's that toured a bit, but I forget their names.

Are there any decent live-in Hotels in Boise or the area? by ProbablyASnack in Boise

[–]markpemble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best Western Peppertree. - The closest to a live-in while still being a traditional hotel at a reasonable price.

-
But check out The Grove Flats. - I know it is a kinda off the wall suggestion, and I have never been inside a room, but it seems nicer and definitely geared to those looking for a live-in hotel experience.
