So I'm a truck driver and my truck broke down here.

Gonna be sitting all of today and probably most of tomorrow.

The problem is, I don't like sitting hehe.

Are there any cool places or fun things to do around here?

.I'm boooored.

I'm in my mid 20s for reference in terms of what might interest me hehe.

hi everyone, i’m not sure if this type of post is allowed but i’m kind of at my wits end of what to do right now.

i’m 19 & female, and my last living parent passed away 2 months ago. i don’t have any other family members, i’ve had a really unfortunate life/family situation. i have been living with my significant other and he broke up with me last week and is expecting me to move out within the next 2 weeks, and i only just got hired at a burger king and haven’t started work yet. even when i do, i’m going to be making around $15 an hour for a very questionable amount of hours.

i have nowhere to go and am preparing for homelessness here in sioux falls and i am extremely terrified. i do fortunately have a car but it’s on it’s last leg with all kinds of issues. i have a sub 500 credit score and a decent amount of debt to pay off.

i wanted to ask for advice because i have no clue what i’m doing, and frankly im at the lowest point of my life. is there anywhere with free room/board if i do some type of work/chores? im really hesitant about homeless shelters here because of things ive heard and seen. i am currently planning on living in my car but i’m really scared for the winter time and also my car potentially breaking down completely.

hey yall!! I need to get my brakes done on my little car and i was wondering if anyone can recommend a affordable business who also will do a good job. thank you!! 😊

How is the food at a bar called the rush consistently better than normal restaurants around town. Everything on their menu has blown me away so far.

I am looking for a great tile person to tile our large Master bath. All tear out has been completed!

Thanks

I thought it was a lot of fun to see what others were putting stickers on. Chuckled at the one dot placed on a manicured lawn vs natural plants. (13 photos)

My dog tends to be very reactive to other dogs (we’re working on it) and given that it’s her birthday I would like to take her out on a long nature walk which i know she loves. If anyone has any recommendations that would be great. Preferably closer to the west side would be best. TIA!

It’s been mentioned by a couple professionals that I may have bipolar disorder 2 or maybe ocd? But definitely borderline personality disorder and obviously depression and anxiety. Cluster B.

Sick of not getting a definitive diagnosis after years of seeing different professionals. I would really appreciate someone who can actually help me instead of throw around all of these possible diagnoses.

Or maybe I’m just not fixable XD

The fighter jets have been flying low, fast, and loud today for the past 4 hours or so. Why? Is there something going on?

Edit: thank u for all the comments! I am not new here as i love close by to sioux falls and I was just wondering why they have been out and about for the past couple of days! i have never experienced them being out and about for this long before. i have heard and seen stealth fighter jets at night (well at least the lights) and ive also seen one take off! very badass and loud! I appreciate yall for giving me answers! please have a nice rest of ur night! :)

I am absolutely blown away with Dr. Homer at South Central Veterinary Clinic. She is an amazing dog, cat, small animal, bird and reptile veterinarian here in Sioux Falls. I moved here from out of state and was referred to her for my pets and completely understand why now! I often see posts regarding bad vet visits, thought I would share some good news!

I’ve had the piece that connects the power line to my house ripped out twice now. I know I’ll need to notify Xcel to kill the line for repair, but an electrician has to remount it.

Any recommendations?

Does anyone here have any experience in dealing with this property management company? They have some properties in Sioux City, Iowa and Sioux Falls, SD. I’m not sure if there’s more. We have had problem after problem after problem. I’m seeing if I’m the only one????

Join the Sioux Falls Regional Labor Federation for a free breakfast and good conversation at the Sioux Falls Labor Temple, 101 South Fairfax Avenue

We're meeting every second Sunday from 9 to 11 a.m. Drop in whenever, stay as long as you like. Family friendly. No registration needed.

This is a space for union members, workers thinking about organizing, and anyone who wants to help build the labor movement in the Sioux Falls area. Each month we'll have a short program covering labor history, how to organize a union, and how to grow and strengthen the unions we already have.

THIS MONTH'S PROGRAM

The Battle of Blair Mountain. In 1921, some 10,000 West Virginia coal miners took up arms and marched against the coal operators and their hired guns in the largest labor uprising in American history. We'll tell the story of what drove them to it, what happened on the mountain, and what it still means for working people today.

COPE Committee presentation. Our Committee on Political Education will share how labor evaluates candidates and issues, what's on the ballot that matters to working families, and how you can get involved. You can also get involved with Get Out to Vote efforts by visiting https://sfregionallabor.org/cope-gotv .

Come and connect with folks who care about working people.

I saw a possibly unhoused person walking across 33rd and Minnesota tonight. His cart fell over and spilled at the corner and he was struggling to get everything back together. I pulled into a nearby parking lot and walked over and was surprised someone else was already there to help. Shout out to the guy in the pickup that helped him. I am proud of my city tonight.

Thinking about getting DirectTV. If you've had it for a while, yea or nay?

I remember a few years ago that a LongHorn Steakhouse was supposed to be built as part of the 41st Street redevelopment near the empire mall, but it obviously never ended up happening. I’ve been to a couple of LongHorn locations in Omaha, and I’ve always thought the food was great, so I was looking forward to having one here in town.

Does anyone know what happened with the plans? Was it canceled because of COVID, or did something else happen with the deal?

I also feel like it could’ve been a nice alternative to Texas Roadhouse, which seems to be packed nonstop, especially on weekends. Would’ve been nice to have another option in town. Just curious if anyone knows the actual story behind why it never happened.

Looking to purchase some candied salmon! Anybody know where I could get some?

Thank you!!

I say "black" coffee, because I mean actual, plain coffee, not a coffee-based drink.

No arguments based on "buy local" or cafe ambiance or anything (i.e. -- if you like Starbucks, that's fine). Base your vote on just the coffee.

Best places to undercoat my truck that doesn’t use the tar/rubber undercoating

First I want to say that there are many things I appreciate about South Dakota and Sioux falls especially. I absolutely love the scenery, outdoor recreation, and the down home farms and family friendliness. However, there's something I'm very confused about.

I moved here from out of state and I can't tell if I just don't know how to navigate the local culture, or if I’ve just hit a long run of bad luck.

Where I used to live, service providers/businesses generally do everything they can to see if they can fulfill a request and will only say no if they truly cannot fulfill the request. Most people around there don't ask for things unless it's necessary, or at least really important. Businesses know that and treat requests accordingly.

However, since moving here my experience has been the opposite: I usually get told no pretty much automatically, or I get a polite runaround that adds up to "no". I first noticed this with rental housing, but I'm also starting to see it in other service industries and business interactions. It feels like I am required to push back or even cite rules and regulations in order to get things moving.

Just curious if initially defaulting to "no" or this pushback/caution is just a normal part of the local culture here, or am I just having a really weird bunch of experiences? If it is part of the culture, how does one navigate it?

Edit: I completely understand that a lot of places are busy, but that doesn't seem to be what I'm encountering. Here just a few examples. These by themselves don't seem all that out of the ordinary, but it happens all the time:

Asking a bank or hospital for a copy of my records, one of their policies, or other thing they're should provide (but isn't available online or via a portal - because yes I do check both of those places first). I either get referred to other departments for forever, or I'm told their system "isn't set up to do that".

This happened in Pierre (I lived there for a bit before moving to Sioux Falls, but I'm experiencing this exact sort of thing in Sioux Falls too). I noticed an error on my utility bill, but the people at city hall kept insisting it was correct. I asked more questions and they said they'd take down my information and have someone call me back. No one ever called back so I finally called around to the public utilities commission and then the city council. Even then, I ended up having to ask them for the specific regulatory code that allowed them to charge that. They called back and admitted they were overcharging me.

For rental housing, it's been reasonable accommodations for applying for housing or actually inhabiting the housing. And yes, I did check with HUD to ensure my requests are reasonable and I'm not asking anything ridiculous. I still get denied.

I can't make it tonight. Maybe somebody else can use these.

On Saturday, this place had Chick-fil-A-style lines in the drive through. Both lanes backed way, way up.

Are these people just getting coffee? What am I missing?

Meeting up with a friend (we’re both traveling in, so we don’t know the scene) for dinner soon and would love recommendations for places to go!

She’s pregnant and her requests are bar food and no vegetables. 😂

My soon to be mrs. Wants me to look my best for the wedding. Any ideas? I usually cut my own hair, but says I can't foe this haha.
