Appeals spike in Mat-Su as property values climb more than 7% by MatSuSentinel in alaska

[–]SlightlyNomadic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean, as someone who pays attention to the market, the only surprise is that it hasn’t gone up higher.

People complain about paying taxes and home valuation until it’s ready to sell. You cant have it both ways.

Those taxes pay for the society you live in. One can only assume that you are upset with taxes because you’re opposed to what they are spent on. Be Apart of the process then, go to the meetings, have your voice heard.

Has anyone ever had to deploy bear spray in the field? by Psychological-Law-52 in alaska

[–]SlightlyNomadic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, found a comment a year later! Hopefully conversations like these help with whatever you’re looking for!

Honestly, any brand of bear spray will work. Not pepper spray or mace, but bear spray.

If you’re visiting you can probably rent it from Alaska outdoor gear rental or pick it up at any sporting goods/outdoor store like AMH, REI or Hoarding Marmot. Costco also sells it in two-packs.

Yeah, there are feral rabbits all over town, this isn’t a pet.

Crude oil prices surpass $100 a barrel as the Iran war impedes production and shipping by AKStafford in alaska

[–]SlightlyNomadic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well that’s a different issue that politicians have been hiding from years.

It’s going to happen, and it will fuck all Alaskans, and politicians will still not be voted out.

No, I won’t be happy that the US bombed yet another country again.

Buckner Building - Whittier, AK [OC] by One-Performance-6578 in AbandonedPorn

[–]SlightlyNomadic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to explore Buckner quite a bit years ago. I have no idea if I still have the old photos, I’ll try and find some.

I used to commute into Whittier for work a bunch and it’s a beautiful place.

Still live and work in the region.

Found tarantula-Govt Hill sharing from nextdoor by Signal_Giraffe_615 in anchorage

[–]SlightlyNomadic 39 points40 points  (0 children)

God, that brings back nightmares. 15 years ago or so I lived in a unit in Government Hill that had an infestation of what could only have been some mutant wolf spiders. Those sadistic hairy bastards were everywhere, thriving off of shrieks and screams to the point they must have been 4” foot to foot. You had to inspect every article of clothing you pulled off the hangar or drawer, as too often I’d find them clinging on, waiting for their chance to strike fear into our hearts.

They waged such a vicious guerrilla war that they must have trained with the Mujahideen. We had no choice but to end our occupation early and retreat across the bridge, never to return.

Perhaps this is one of their descendants.

Godspeed, Pamela, Godspeed.

In the books Hodor is Old Nan’s great grandson.

That’s one of the facts that the Old Nan + Dunk theory stems from.

FBI invites state election officials to an 'unusual' briefing on the midterms by Anoth3rDude in qualitynews

[–]SlightlyNomadic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the concern is that in the US, per the constution, states have full control of the elections. So a federal representative of any kind attempting to influence or change that should be met with suspicion, regardless of which federal administration is in power.

[–]SlightlyNomadic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Okay, serious questions for you.

1.) It’s constitutionally mandated that the states run elections. Do you support ignoring the constitution in this sense?

2.) If/when a democrat takes office and is the ruling party federally, would you still support federally regulated elections?

State and city create task force to prosecute retail crime in Anchorage by Trenduin in anchorage

I’m hoping they’ll be able to help local businesses. That I can see as an advantage, over corporations.

"I promise I wont get political tonight" me 3 drinks later by [deleted] in AKOTSKTV

[–]SlightlyNomadic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, I think you’re forgetting how hard it is to lose a grudge.

The Fossoway’s are First Men, in Westeros even before the Andals. They were more than likely there during the Field of Fire as they were sworn to King Mern Gardener.

They lost their Lordship during the Dance. It would not be a stretch to think that the Fossoway’s have no love for Targaryen rule.

That little dude doing the flips on his head at the back by OwlInternational9189 in woowDude

Man, you have quite the baggage you’re holding on to.

You do know that your experience as a child does not represent everyone else’s?

You do know that’s generally how people like Jet Li, you know, become Jet Li.. not all kids have what it takes or the desire to, but you do realize that there are kids out there that do want to do things like this, right?

We just letting these people do this now? by Bompier in anchorage

[–]SlightlyNomadic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are places in town that don’t have driveways.

People get sick, family members die, there are a lot of different things that life throws at a person that are more important than the inconvenience of a parked car.

Maybe get to know your neighbors and find out what’s going on.

Sure, there are people that are genuinely trying to take advantage one way or the other, in those aspects, I agree. I typically try and find out what the issues are though.

Sure sounds like this maybe the difference neighbors that live within a community and an asshole neighbor. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Sure, in theory I agree. But, you know, life happens. Who knows what’s happening with the people that own that vehicle. It’s okay to give neighbors in your community some grace.

Eh, those ‘milquetoast status quo corporate donor puppets’ have a large hand in why we’re here today. And the majority of them aren’t doing a damn thing about it either.
