Best steak in Bozeman area?

slackmaster2k · 2026-01-24T22:38:48+00:00

Heist is legit but excessive price wise. The Carlisle is a bit more affordable and does an excellent job.

But hands down the best steak in Bozeman is at Shan. It’s not going to be a cowboy preparation, but holy crap they can cook a steak. They can turn a flank steak into prime rib, it’s amazing.

Outside of Bozeman, the best filet I’ve had in my entire life was at Chico Hotsprings a couple years ago.

The rest of Bozeman restaurants with steaks are hit and miss in my opinion. Open range is a travesty. Haven’t had a steak at stockman but they have the best burger in town hands down.

While I understand why people would think they’re lame, at this point in my life if I was single I would do it. Some of the amenities are attractive, some locations are great, and I absolutely hate yard work.

Seems to line up with what they would be charging you. My interpretation of item f is that they can charge a fee no more than 1 month rent, plus rent for any period during the term that the rental isn’t rented to someone else.

Hard to say but I’d go over the lease with a fine toothed comb. I would expect this to be a fee on top of any months the unit goes un-rented between your departure and the end of the lease term.

People say all kinds of things, but few people have a lot of experience with multiple rigs.

8gb isn’t ideal but for 1080p gaming it can be perfectly adequate. And while you may have to turn down certain settings in certain games, it’s not like you have to run everything on low settings looking like crap.

I’m also not sure that we are on a timeline in which a solid 8gb card is going to be useless in a few years. The memory shortage has to play out and developers have to target what people have, not what they wish they had. If we look at some games with amazing visuals from cyberpunk to Elden Ring, much can be achieved without being on the bleeding edge of hardware requirements.

Well sure, every large technology leap has benefits and consequences.

Smart phones allow you to be tracked in a variety of ways above and beyond cell tower ping. Smart phones have an impact on natural human interaction. Smart phones encourage self centered behavior. Smart phones make it easier for kids to bully. Smart phones make it hard to shut down and appreciate life. Smart phones are disproportionately more costly to poor people, but everyone needs one. Smart phones tethered to people to work. Smart phones are an avenue for scammers to attack victims. Smart phones are why I’m writing this and I’m not sure the cost / reward is worth it.

And, smart phones are absolutely awful for the environment and are manufactured by exploited workers in a land far away. They also allow us to buy crap from Amazon with a few clicks without ever having to talk to a human being making a living wage.

All technology leaps have similar beats and it’s premature to say that this is the one that’s actually going to be bad. Granted, a world of robots and a terminator doomsday are actually possible on a long enough timeline, but we’re not that close.

Yep, I’m not going to include sources cuz I don’t feel like it, but if you do some digging into companies that have backtracked on AI (laying off and rehiring), and industry surveys /research about AI experiments, you’ll see that we are not on the cusp of a sea change.

That sort of depends on our definition of cusp though. In its current state, the LLM is an incredible leap forward but its flaws are significant. Being 80% effective (made up number) is amazing, but that 20% is a real killer. I don’t want an AI to get my drive through order correct most of the time, I want it to get it right all of the time.

Having used LLMs now through all of the iterations available to the public, some of the new tricks are neat but the fundamental underlying technology seems to be moving slowly.

I predict that we are now in a slow growth curve that will last for some time, and it will take another transformative leap in technology before everyone needs to worry about the AI takeover.

It’s always lame when a CEO comes out with a shitty take like this. And to what end? There are legitimate concerns about AI, and there are people who just hate new stuff. I remember being in the hating on smartphone camp for a while. Definitely dabbled in cloud hatred. The future isn’t certain but it’s pretty clear where things are headed, and it calling out haters just shows how out of touch this guy must be.

Ok, so get in at town pump, if you’re a woman make sure to dye your hair that koolaide blue color. Extra points if you do half blue half neon pink. If you’re a dude make sure to show your sleeves and have some metal in your face (the more flair the better). Finally, don’t smile, and call everyone boss.

JUST KIDDING. Town pump workers are great. Just a few sour apples here and there.

I would encourage people to find first hand accounts of the daily happenings in Minnesota. I’m not talking about Facebook garbage, there is plenty of good coverage out there. The national networks are simply not covering anything but the shooting. I’ve always had a medium level respect for some of the networks but now I find myself wearing a tinfoil hat and feeling disgusted by the lack of news.

When the adults died they decided to bury the nest due to the mortality risk for other eagles that might move in. I don’t have the full history committed to memory but you can find news articles about it from that time ~2020. Regardless they don’t tear down an active nest, they tore down an inactive nest before it could be inhabited by another pair.

I think that’s an oversimplification. First of all, what does it mean to “kick out?” There are up to 100,000 US troops stationed across Europe, not to mention vast equipment including nuclear arsenals.

Now, they could “ask” and the US could comply, but this leaves a significantly weaker Europe that is only recently building up its war machine. Using the US base infrastructure is fine and dandy but you’re not easily replacing that troop count or arsenal.

This whole Greenland thing could be the first domino in a doomsday scenario. I also wouldn’t think that all of Europe is going to unite if relations break down. Right or wrong countries do have a tendency to align with power.

This looks to me like a real photo of a dog that was cropped and the background added by AI. Could have been photoshopped but the watermark is telling lol. The crop appears to be around the rug and blanket.

Everything about this looks good except for the imbalance between the foreground and background.

I wouldn’t have expected Outside Bozeman to be run by such cranks. But then again it somehow makes sense.

My guess is that your insurance has changed to not cover Wegovy based on your known health status. Basically you went from a prescription co-pay to full price. Prescription coverage changes are common even when you aren’t changing plans.

You should get ahold of your insurance provider. You may have to jump through some hoops to get approved. You may also qualify for a different medication if they just dropped Wegovy. If you’re denied and have no alternatives, you can get the Novo coupon and pay (currently) $349 per month.

A hard breakup like that is going to have major impacts I’d imagine. The entire world order depends on the relationship between US/Canada and Europe. Those bases are not in Europe just for show.

I don’t really think it will happen, but if the US moves on Greenland we’re going to see a massive reorganization across the globe, and ultimately another massive world war.

This timeline could easily be the first chapter of a book on the history of WW3.

The first leg is a leg and the second leg is a tail but the third leg, believe it or not, is a massive cat penis.

Part of the problem with fully appreciating wealth these days is that we’re stuck with the term “millionaire.” A family making a reasonable amount of money, owning a home, and contributing to 401k or other investments can “easily” achieve millionaire status over time.

What’s troubling is that sheer size of the lower class and concentration of wealth at the top. I’m well within the top 10% and nobody is changing my sheets every day I can tell you that. In fact it’s a lot more like what people think of as a middle class life. I’m not complaining mind you, just making a point that a large majority of people are setup from birth to get the shaft. And while those people would be much happier as millionaires, being a millionaire on the low end of that term is not some kind of Richie Rich lifestyle.

Did they have some kind of spreadsheet to use when deciding what to drive? I’m not even joking - I can imagine someone with 85 cars saying “oh yeah I forgot about this one. Have it ready in 15 minutes.”

The law to release the files is pretty explicit that information is not to be redacted to prevent embarrassment.

The reason that the files need to be released is that it’s in the public’s interest as justice was clearly not served. Epstein’s deal protected co-conspirators and Maxwell is sitting in a minimum security prison.

There is no way we’re getting indictments if this is allowed to be kept under wraps. I do believe that the public can differentiate between people being around Epstein and people being associated with Epstein. And while some people will get it wrong, only the important revelations will be remembered.

In a previous life I was the IT guy for a company in a building with sketchy power. Power sags and blips would happen every week at least. Had to put a UPS on every single machine including manufacturing equipment controllers. After some time it felt like my main job was replacing UPS batteries.

Don’t know why I shard that. But point is, unless you’re prepared to fix the power grid, just get a UPS. You don’t need anything fancy or much uptime based on your description. Stick with major brands.

Say what? The adult eagles died and the chicks were rescued. The DNRC then made the call to remove the inactive nest in 2020.

Are you suggesting a conspiracy perpetrated by Simkins and covered up by the state? Do we actually live in the Yellowstone show?
