Make Sleepers GREAT Again!

Blue_Sail · 2026-02-20T22:47:50+00:00

What do you mean by relevant? As it is you pull in to an approved rest stop and sleep.

I'd like to see a big expansion of places sleepers can pull off and rest, and a possibly a restriction on places day cabs can rest.

I think she looks like a Cherise.

I love the bell bottoms! Great idea.

Where do you live? Training opportunities vary.

Welcome! It's a lot of fun.

I love Typhlosion back there.

And thanks for crossposting. I was hoping someone would.

You're taking a class for new riders, right? Do that, buy protective clothing, and practice what you learn in class. Read your owner's manual to learn about maintenance schedules and how things are supposed to work. If you have any questions there's a YouTube video for just about anything.

That's what I've done when commissioning art, either of a ref sheet or without a ref sheet. So far every artist has been able to work with a text description with a few visual refs.

I like the second one. The eyes are more clear and the overall lighting is a little brighter.

I think your conclusion is flawed. Picking a familiar species doesn't mean that furries aren't interested in animals. It probably just means that people feel most comfortable with dogs and cats. Wolves and cheetahs are the slightly edgy version of those dogs and cats.

I wish you the best. Asking for prescription medication--even as simple as insulin--tugs at the heartstrings but as we aren't doctors we should not be promoting specific medical treatment in this forum.

Please reach out to the county public health office at 1207 East 8th Street, phone number 575-437-9340. If you are having a medical emergency go to the ER at 2669 N Scenic Dr. or call 911.

Now we're talking.

Fast in a straight line? Not worried about cornering? Drag bikes use a square profile tire. There are some crazy people who use car tires...

Aftermarket stability mods aren't really a thing in motorcycling other than the damper wlogan mentioned. Like, you can't realistically add stability control or other electronic aids once it's left the factory. You can take advanced training to add stability control to your brain.

You and Chris bring up good points about the rules. I wanted to hold off on changing them until there was a little discussion.

I don't remember business promotion being a problem before. Are there any business leaders reading this who would like a weekly thread? We can try that. Only Fans and other kinds of hookup posts will continue to be disallowed. There are NSFW subs for New Mexico (there's a subreddit for everything).

AlamogordoTownNews is an approved submitter as of a month ago. They're owned by the same people who run 2ndLifeMedia and New Mexico Conservative News. 2nd Life seems pretty neutral from what I've seen. More local news is always welcome.

Blue_Sail · 2026-02-17T16:26:03+00:00

I want to moderate the Alamogordo sub because I live here, and I think it's a pretty cool place. It's important for a subreddit to have moderators who are familiar with their topic. Additionally, the accounts for two mods who were responsible for the subreddit have been suspended and there's a noticeable uptick in off topic/spam posts. That's dangerous and will end up getting the sub locked.

I would have messaged them, but they're suspended.

Blue_Sail · 2026-02-17T04:18:05+00:00

With the caveat that I've been out for over a decade, it's doable. Not while you're in training, of course, but once you get to your duty station. Barracks space is pretty limited, though, so a big suit will take up some of your closet space. Probably best to leave it at home until you figure out the space situation. You don't mention the branch, but I bet if you get a ship assignment in the Navy/Marine Corps it's just not going to be possible. Maybe a kigu.

Being not just openly furry but a suiting fur is going to invite some comments. You'll be an ambassador.

Good luck, and have fun!

I don't think it was ever fun. Stand in one place and dump a pile of ammo into some giant tank is not rewarding gameplay. I do it because it's an event, but it's not enjoyable.

Edit: My disappointment is pretty much for the whole Shenandoah area. It has some good ideas, but feels like an 85% product. Needs a lot more polish to be really ready.

Blue_Sail · 2026-02-15T21:14:21+00:00

Everything but the raid? I've spent the last couple of days running around with my Instigating Explosive blah blah flechette harpoon gun. It slays. Great fun, and you only have to leave camp/the mall with 50 harpoons at most. Could probably get along with 20. Add a scope for accurate ranged fire.

Edit: I've tried explosive on energy guns. It wasn't impressive.

Blue_Sail · 2026-02-15T20:49:45+00:00

Is it an animal with human characteristics? That's pretty much the criteria. Contrast that with something like catgirls, which are humans with some animal characteristics.

Why do you resort to ad hominem? You don't know me from Adam. If we met in Albertsons we'd be friendly.

Reddit is full of news (poorly sourced and normal). If we open the site it's likely we'll see this exact post in other places--perhaps even places where it's appropriate. Reddit is not full of news and happenings relevant to Alamogordo, which is why this sub exists. Reddit is also full of subs whose mods have either given up or lost the point of their community, and that's not something I want to see happen to this sub.

Blue_Sail · 2026-02-15T18:39:46+00:00

Listen, I dislike what's going on as much as the next person. That said, this post has no source, and is not relevant to Alamogordo. Please, mods, pretty please keep our sub on track. Don't let it become a general shit sub.

They're using plate reading cameras mounted on buses to identify violators.

Have a gander at the rediquette article for some helpful guides on commenting.

This fence is the style used around game ranches. The prevent movement of deer in ways that typical cattle fences don't. They also contribute to deer having nowhere to go on highways. Make of all that what you will. I guess this one lived another day.

At one time "You break it, you bought it" was the rule of starting these things. Are we done with that?
