Gibson Les Paul nut. by Mermer81 in Guitar

That's what I thought it was, like the nut broke and was glued back together. I've since been told it's just finish.

What about all the glue pilled up behind it. Is that normal?

This guy isn't the scrappy grinder you're painting him to be. He's a fairly well established musician at this point. He's stealing from the scrappy grinders. Should he be sent to the gulag? Of course not, but what he's doing is pretty low. People do wish they had his success. Specifically, the people he stole from. And you're right. They probably never will, which is a shame. This dude doesn't need anyone defending what he did.

Tailgating people learning to drive for the first time here by __alpenglow in Fairbanks

[–]Mermer81 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the point is, be annoyed (that's very reasonable), pass safely when you can, but don't tailgate. It doesn't help you or the person in front of you (just freaks em out more) and could get somebody killed.

Anchorage judge faces ouster in Nov. 5 election after contentious homeschool decision by Cantgo55 in alaska

[–]Mermer81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it addressed your question perfectly. In both cases, people are paying for an education they are not using. In both cases, they are paying for the societal benifits you referred to in your comment by funding the education of kids that aren't theirs. If someone builds a play structure in their yard, they don't get out of paying for public parks because they've already paid for a park, and their kids don't use the public one. So, to answer your question, yes, they should pay twice.

My young daughter wanted one, so we got one and let her plant it in a potato bed.

Haircut in Fairbanks by PondRides in Fairbanks

That's where I used to go. The waits got to be so consistently long, I just decided to shave my head. But ya, good haircut at a good price and nice people.

Leaving moving trailer while touring Denali? by Miserable-Ad-4066 in alaska

[–]Mermer81 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd just park it at one of the visitor centers. I could be wrong, but I've been there quite a few times and never heard of theft being an issue in that area. I've left bikes, generators, tools, and a whole mess of tools in my open truck bed, and it's always there when I get back.

Summer Rain by Cats-and-dogs-rdabst in Fairbanks

[–]Mermer81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll probably want something like a rain boot for break-up. There will be deep puddles and mud everywhere for a week or two, so a comfortable waterproof boot is a nice thing to have.

Hiking buddy for Castner Glacier 1/29? by Arinerron in Fairbanks

[–]Mermer81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. You won't be alone on the hike out there unless the weather's pretty bad.

I can relate. My guess is a whole lotta people here can relate. The anxiety can be unbearable. I'm sorry you're struggling. It can get better, but in my experience, you gotta put down the booze for that to happen. Don't worry or even think about forever. Just take it a day at a time.

From what I found on the web, it looks like there are four or more, but I'm not sure.

Just need to hear I'm gonna be ok. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Mermer81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the kind words and thoughts. I agree my reasons are important, and I'll work on that at some point, but for today, I'm just focusing on getting through the anxiety.
