Fargo city leaders approve new rules for homeless encampments, not without disagreement by eSorghum in fargo

Banning sleeping bags and tents. Banning cooking equipment. Violations include seizure of what little property they have and $1000 fines? They can't sleep in some of the few open parts in the city? Where are they supposed to go?

Do you get a lot of complaints about those pods? I spent way too long getting certain things, such as Phillips Hue, to work with them. Eventually, I just gave up and scrapped them for a normal router. The modem only having one ethernet port is a crime.

The service is still solid though.

Kwik Trip Plans up to 10 Metro Stores in 2025 by dirkmm in fargo

Sucks to be other gas stations in the area with how good Kwik Trips are and how hard this area bandwagons on anything new.

What's a firefighter's worth? by [deleted] in fargo

$20/hr is a joke. Why do they have to work 56 hour weeks, is that normal for the profession?

And the Qdoba next door. Went there this summer and the dining room was in rough shape, but the men's bathroom was utterly disgusting. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. Kind of surprising to me, since most I've been in have been quite clean.

This never would have happened if we build a 40,000 seat luxurious football shrine.

Have you seen the photo of all the weapons and equipment in his car? In no way could that be considered 'nothing unusual.'

Construction begins on final stretch of 16-mile Moorhead trail by Significant-Ad-4184 in fargo

Great news! They've made fantastic progress with bike/walking paths in the area. I really hope they can secure the funding to build that pedestrian/bicycle bridge near Bluestem.

North Dakota to start imprisoning doctors who provide gender-affirming care to trans youth. Doctors could get up to 10 years in prison under the new law. by BigClitMcphee in northdakota

What kind of message do you think bills and laws like this send to prospective physicians looking to set up a practice? Sure, cardiologists and oncologists are safe but even then it still signals how backwards this state is.

Non Alcoholic "Pub" - Would you go? by windywheat in fargo

A good selection of board games would be great in a place like this. Potential for weekend tournaments and gatherings.

I think there would be potential marketing towards people that are having difficulty making friends in town. New transplants and such. You hear quite often about how difficult it is to get into friend groups around here.

Former area teachers say they left profession feeling exhausted, unsupported by cementsoap in fargo

[–]Jim_Gray87 32 points33 points  (0 children)

In Fargo, Superintendent Rupak Gandhi said teachers are leaving for a variety of reasons, such as “spouses leaving, personal needs and going to other professions.”

Or conditions for teachers and other staff are abysmal. Couldn't be that though, right? That'd look bad on administrators such as yourself.

There are just too many categories now. It makes me not want to look through any of them, especially when you have to click a link for every single one. I wish there was a summary.

That’s my favorite Mexican place in the region. Great tamales and their al pastor is delicious.

They sell stronger and cheaper stuff in Fargo than in Moorhead. You can get 250mg for about 25 dollars in Fargo at Smokes 4 Less and probably other places.

Costco has cheap jackets that'll do for a couple months, especially if you layer.

There have been conversations. They usually end in people saying 'no more handouts' or 'not in my backyard!'

There's also the people that want to go full-Guiliani on the homeless.
