Outsourcing restocking

What is the best way to find a reliable and inexpensive contractor to restock vending machines for you once they are placed? How many machines does it begin to make sense? Like more than 5? How would you get your inventory to that person so that they can restock everything, and how can you monitor that they didn’t everything correctly and on time? What should I expect to be charged? Thank you!

Taking over vape vending placements?

Hey guys - I noticed a vending machine in a local bar that seems kind of unmaintained - sold out products, etc.

What is the protocol on approaching bat owners to replace the existing vendor? Or does that not really happen often, as a vendor would step up their game if they felt the squeeze?

Does seeing a vape vending machine in a bar already signal that bar has been “claimed” or not necessarily?

How is living in Missoula, Montana, USA?

I’ve been to Missoula a handful of times and have always enjoyed visiting friends there. One thing that stands out to me is that it seems to have more of a community-oriented vibe than what I’ve experienced in Bozeman.

I know there are several Burning Man camps based out of Missoula and a decent Burner community in general. There also seem to be more collectives and people actually producing things - Halloween parties, New Year’s events, gatherings, etc. Pride seems to have a real presence there, and something like Dan Savage’s amateur porn film festival HUMP Fest is fun and something that would never fly in Bozeman.

At the same time, there’s another side of Missoula that I’m not sure is really my scene. It can feel pretty grungy/alternative - lots of dyed hair, piercings, hairy armpits, and a kind of crunchy punk/dubstep vibe at some of the parties I’ve been to. Nothing wrong with that, it’s just not particularly my style.

So I’m curious what Missoula actually feels like when you live there rather than just visit.

The biggest draw for me is that I already have more friends there and it seems more community-focused, and open minded, than Bozeman.

As a single 40 year old male - what is dating like in Missoula?

Jobs with immediate feedback/progress?

Has anyone here found a genuinely fulfilling career doing hands-on work like pressure washing, landscaping, gardening, car detailing, painting, or something similar?
I’m realizing my ADHD brain seems to thrive on simple, tangible tasks where I can lock in, focus on one thing, and see immediate progress. There’s something really satisfying about watching the results unfold right in front of you instead of spending all day behind a computer with work that feels abstract or never-ending.
If you have a job like this, I’d love to hear about it. Do you find it engaging long-term, or does the novelty wear off?

What’s a good career for ADHD and closed feedback loops?

I have ADHD and love novelty - and also love closed feedback loops where I can complete a a simile task and move to the next one, seeing progress as I work.

For the last several years I’ve worked behind a computer because I’ve been traveling as a digital nomad. The travel itself has been incredibly fulfilling - I love novelty - but I’m starting to wonder if sitting behind a screen all day just isn’t how I’m wired.

What really seems to engage me is work with fast feedback loops - where every few seconds I can see that I’m making progress.

What seems to work best for me is work that has:

Variety instead of doing the exact same thing all day
Clear goals and immediate feedback
Autonomy over how and when I work
A sense that the work actually matters
Enough challenge to keep me engaged
Minimal administrative or paperwork-heavy tasks
I find myself completely sucked into pressure washing videos because it’s so satisfying to watch the immediate progress. It’s almost like a game of “don’t miss a spot.”

I also love spearfishing videos where divers hunt invasive species. It looks like a real-life video game: find the target, solve the problem, collect the points, repeat.

Even weeding a garden seems like it would scratch that same itch. Scan. Find a weed. Pull it. See the difference. Repeat. There’s something deeply satisfying about work where every action produces a visible result.

At festivals, I volunteer as a bartender, and I absolutely love it. People come straight to me, I know exactly what needs to be done, I have a quick friendly interaction, solve the occasional problem, and then it’s on to the next person. It’s social without being emotionally draining.

I seem to enjoy brief interactions with lots of different people much more than long interactions with a few.

I’m curious if anyone else has noticed this about themselves. Do you have a job that feels like one long series of satisfying little wins? If so, what do you do, and do you love it?

Where to see what date tracks are uploaded/posted?

Am I missing something, or does SoundCloud not show the upload date for tracks? I’d like to see which songs are an artist’s most recent, but I can’t find that information anywhere.

What app are creators using to edit videos by editing the transcript?

I’ve noticed a lot of Instagram creators have videos that are edited really tightly - almost like every sentence flows perfectly, with little pauses and filler words removed, but it still sounds natural.

It seems like they’re editing the auto-generated transcript instead of scrubbing through the timeline frame by frame.

What apps or programs are people using for this? Is there a standard tool most creators use for transcript-based editing (like editing the text and having the video update automatically), or are there a few good options?

Solutions for low Estradiol result in 39/yo male?

I am 39 year old male that feels daily fatigue, but am otherwise healthy. I feel flat, low motivation, low drive, etc.

I took a full panel blood test and got the following results:

My total testosterone level at 2pm was 443 ng/dL - which I understand is on the lower end

My estradiol (E2) at that same time was <5 pg/mL, where* *normal for men is apparently 11.3–43.2 pg/mL - so mine seems critically low.

Has anyone ever experienced, and treated, low E2 and have any advice?

GameDay quoted me $249/month for TRT - what are my better options?

Hey guys,

I am new to this and went to a free consultation at GameDay Men’s Health and found out my testosterone is low. I also went ahead and got their full hormone panel done, so I’ll be bringing those results to my PCP next week.

GameDay quoted me $249/month for treatment, which seems pretty steep. My understanding is that testosterone itself isn’t that expensive, so I’m wondering what the best path is from here.
Has anyone had their PCP take over TRT from the beginning, or do they usually refer you to an endocrinologist or urologist? Any tips for bringing it up?

Also, if GameDay is too expensive and not totally necessary, what route do you recommend going down instead? Looking for something reputable, reasonably priced, and easy to work with.

For context, my main symptom is pretty persistent daily fatigue.

Thanks!

Using Fidelity Account to fund recurring investments?

I’m starting to use my Fidelity Investments brokerage account as my primary checking account, so I’m looking to close my JPMorgan Chase checking account that requires a $1,500 minimum daily balance.

The issue is that my Chase account is currently linked to Acorns as the funding source for my weekly recurring investments, and when I try to connect my Fidelity brokerage account instead, I just get an error.

Has anyone successfully used a Fidelity brokerage account or Cash Management Account with Acorns recurring investments? What’s the best workaround here?

I’d rather not keep an idle-cash checking account open solely to fund Acorns.

What if the SpaceX IPO actually drops and drags space ETFs down with it?

Is nobody considering that the SpaceX IPO could actually drop after launch and drag down the value of space ETFs heavily exposed to it?

Why does the discussion around the SpaceX IPO seem to completely assume it would lift all tides instead of considering the possibility that it could disappoint and temporarily hurt the sector?
