I use MT cadastral - https://svc.mt.gov/msl/cadastral - every day for my job. It is a service of the Montana public library system, and shows publicly available property records.

Today it required an ArcGIS login, and none of the maps work.

I can't see the state-provided data the state says I need to use to perform a service for the state.

Does anyone know if there are any good materials to use for insulating a house with plaster walls? Whenever I look this up, I see articles saying the insulation will just get wet, causing it to sag down to the bottom of the wall cavity. The conventional wisdom seems to say it's not worth it, and to just make your home more air-tight and turn up the furnace. I have a hard time swallowing this, though. Any suggestions?

Need to crack a window when the dryer is running, the default "fresh air" entry in my house appears to be through the 1960's style attic door.

Great Wx introduction video by Minnesota. Yeah, your power bill might be boring. But... *gestures vaguely* for real? You want this to keep happening? 🥵
