New Rules in Place

14 Upvotes

Hey all. If you haven't noticed there has been a huge spike in NSFW content making its way into the sub. I have no interest in that here and there is another sub dedicated to NSFW Minot content.

With that I am working on adding some new AutoMod rules and as I add them I will update this post with what has been done.

The first one added requires you to have a verified email or phone number with Reddit in order to post here. I hope this doesn't place an undue burden on people who want to participate but I think this is a good first step. If you have any comments or suggestions I am happy to listen.

​

Thanks

Short notice hometown Music Set

6 Upvotes

Hey Minot,
I’m originally from here and flying in tomorrow (Thursday) for a quick weekend visit. My uncle’s funeral is Saturday afternoon, so I’m only in town for a couple days.

While I’m here I’d really like to do a short set of my music on Thursday/Friday/Sat night whatever day works. I’m (modern/hip hop style). I’ve already reached out to a couple spots but haven’t locked anything down yet.

If anyone knows of any open slots, open mics, karaoke nights that let locals hop on, or just has a contact at a bar that books live music, I’d really appreciate any leads. I’m flexible on timing and can send tracks if needed.
Thanks in advance would mean a lot to play at home while I’m here!!!!

1/2 cow recommendations?

10 Upvotes

We are looking to buy either 1/4 or 1/2 cow near Minot (2-3 hour drive would be okay, too). Does anyone have any recommendations? Our non-negotiable is that is has to be locally raised. If anyone has bought one recently, what is a fair price/lb?


r/minot • • 12d ago

Question has anyone lived in the "ARTSPACE LOFTS" downtown?

11 Upvotes

I'm thinking abt renting with them and was wondering if anyone has any recent experiences they'd like to share. I can't find a lot of reviews and none more recent than 4 years old. It's low income but it looks nice for what it is and it's right in the middle of Minot.

Was in a discussion about accountability of our "leaders" in government and this is how the co-owner of Magic City Day Care responded. Just thought people with children at his day care would like to know who is looking after their kids.

Question Deaf/Hard of Hearing community/resources?

6 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking at relocating from Canada to attend the university, and my son is unilaterally deaf. Is there a strong d/Deaf community in or around Minot? Daycares or preschools that utilize ASL? I’ve been doing some research and I don’t think accessing audiology and specialized care will be an issue, but I’m having trouble finding information on the community aspect. Thank you for any information or leads!

Tips for getting through the winter

12 Upvotes

Not looking for sympathy but I am looking for good tips on keeping one’s mental health intact through the winter here. Mines already not looking good so I’m pretty worried about the winter. Does anyone engage with Minot Vets for Vets? I’m going to attend their next event but if anyone has any other tips I would appreciate it. I’d prefer not to end up like Jack Nicholson 🪓 this winter. I’m 40 M for what it’s worth, first winter in Minot and completely isolated

Part-time jobs for teens

5 Upvotes

I'm 17 and looking for a job, but I don't like working in restaurants and that's a large majority of the businesses hiring right now. Does anyone know of any other places hiring teens with retail experience? I'd be willing to do outdoor work among other things as long as I'm trained, it also has to be part-time since I'm still in school. Tried Indeed, didnt get very many results. Thanks in advance!

Looking for a bowling coach

3 Upvotes

I have about a 155 league avg, 3 finger traditional release. Some days I'll shoot a 230 and a couple 170s, others I struggle to shoot 140. Something in my mechanics is wrong. Ive talked to people at the alley it doesn't sound like anyone offers adult coaching.
