Hi all,
Looking for anyone in Grand Forks that may have knowledge or access to any of the radio towers or tall buildings in our area.
I am hoping to expand the operational capabilities of our local mesh radio networking grids for Meshtastic and MeshCore.

These projects are public communications technologies using open-source LoRa radio software that enable texting from mobile devices, similar to cellular messaging. Operating in the ISM band, they are limited to low-power operation, and highly dependent on line-of-sight between nodes to function cohesively. A few well-placed nodes at high elevation points (like radio towers or tall buildings) would help cover the entire city, allowing for public and private messaging between any connected devices.

If this is something you’re interested in or know anyone that might have access to a high place, please reach out and I’d be happy to answer questions or explain more! There are already active users in town, but any new device helps expand the radio mesh for everyone and makes the grid more robust.

I have an interview for a company in Crookston, MN, and I'm looking for some insights into the cost of living and anything about the surrounding area people want to share.

I got an offer from another company, and the one based in Crookston moved up my interview to Tuesday of next week when I told them. Both companies are asking about what salary range would be acceptable and I'm trying to compare them, but everything's going a lot faster then expected.

No really. Student publication distributed on UND. Write words. Win prizes.

Joshua Desjarlais and Matthew Desjarlais. A business I know has had both of them, one threatened to sue, the other is kind of insane.

I would like to know more information on these people as they were both employees.

Hey all! I’m looking for some new friends to chat with regularly. Just to be upfront, I’m happily married, so this is purely platonic. A bit about me:

Investing: I’ve been investing for over a decade and am always happy to talk markets, strategies, or what you’re watching right now.

Gaming: Lately I’ve been playing Helldivers 2, Diablo 4, and Path of Exile 2. I’m always down to squad up or talk builds.

Local AI: I like running models on my own hardware and building small projects around them. If you’re tinkering with LLMs, image generation, or voice stuff, I’d love to compare notes.

Unreal Engine: I’ve been working in Unreal for 11+ years and still enjoy building things in it.

I’m pretty laid back, enjoy deep-dive conversations, and am happy to talk about pretty much anything. If any of this overlaps with what you’re into, drop a comment or DM me. What are you working on or playing lately?

Hey guys, I am more of an eclectic spirit when it comes to my practice of spirituality, and I’m looking for a spiritual community that is more esoteric, alternative and witchy? Searching on the internet doesn’t lead to many places at least that I could find.

Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be phenomenal. And if there are any people out there who do practice alternative spiritualities and would love to meet and talk, please feel free to hit me up!

Thanks.

(For context, I’m 21 years old and finishing up my degree, so I’m still connected to the UND campus community if necessary, but open to the wider community as well)

I walk my dog at night. Multiple times a week I get random dogs running up to me out of the pitch blackness with their owners tagging along behind (or, three times now, blasting me witg their LED headlights from their e-bike). Why the fuck can't I walk my dog in the evening without getting jumped like this? Literally just came back from telling a guy to go fuck himself as his little yapper came sprinting out of the shadows. Does anyone in this town have a braincell or are they reserved for people who decide to get the hell out of here?

“According to Baumbach, a decrease in student enrollment, which affects the district's per-pupil payment, an increase in students' specialized needs and a decrease in state and federal funding all have contributed to the deficit number.”

Can someone explain this to me like I’m five?

Hi all! I come with an odd post.

I am not from this area but I sold my books via consignment at Witchwood Bookshoppe GF.

At this time she has admitted she owes me (along with over a dozen other authors) funds but has not paid us (funds should have come back in Jan/Feb)

And now the bookstore has closed their doors.

Did anyone have any dealings with this bookstore?

Any advice on going to small claims court in y'all's area?

TIA! 🥰

Editing to say she was found and brought to circle of friends

Hi everyone. Does anyone have any recommendations on where I could find a key lime pie this afternoon? One of our senior engineers at work is celebrating a milestone birthday, this pie is his favorite, and he's offered me an abundance of guidance over the years.

Thanks in advance!

Last winter was my first winter in North Dakota and it was miserably boring :'(

Would be great to get to know people around town! Are there any meetups or groups that meet regularly and looking for new additions?

Thanks! :o)
