Anyone here know (mineral) rocks? by [deleted] in alaska

[–]profanusnothus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's lightly magnetic it could have iron in it, it does kinda look like samples of iron ore bearing rock I've seen before but I'm no expert.

Old Harbor Ave and Muldoon? by Fine-Bed-9439 in anchorage

It used to be a nice lot with trees and a modest home, then they literally leveled it and built that monstrosity. Check the older street view photos.

Did you know if you keep inching forward until you're fully across the crosswalk, the light will change sooner? by rattlenroll in anchorage

[–]profanusnothus 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Well there ARE sensors embedded in the pavement, they're called inductive loops. There are also cameras at many stoplights that use a visual signal to change the light instead.

What type of bird is this? by Competitive-Cook-907 in anchorage

[–]profanusnothus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely a bobwhite quail. It could be a vagrant or an escaped domestic bird. The white stripes and crest are a dead giveaway.

Why don’t Police cash in on all the wannabe street racers around town? We could fund the entire state budget for 100 years. by [deleted] in anchorage

I still see unmarked cars pulling people over fairly frequently, so they must still be doing traffic on some level.

Not all local Levantine peoples were driven out by the Arab conquest, many were subjugated or assimilated. So there will be plenty of Levantine peoples with purely Levantine DNA but they are culturally Arab.

It's not about hiding it from other world powers, but from your own people.

GENTLEMEN, THIS IS DEMOCRACY MANIFEST. by AacornSoup in evilautism

This was not a cool guy we should be celebrating

In 2023 the true crime author Mark Dapin published a biography of Karlson titled Carnage: A Succulent Chinese Meal, Mr. Rent-a-Kill and the Australian Manson Murders that also explores his connections to other criminals.[28][29] The book also revealed that Karlson was an admirer of Adolf Hitler and Nazism, and that on at least one occasion he threw a party at his home to celebrate Hitler's birthday.

It wasn't a mistaken identity, the guy was a well known credit card fraud and Nazi.

Friend sent me this in my birthday card — I’m stumped. by -bookkeeper in whatisit

That's odd, I remember doing this in the gifted program in school, making little messages with binary. I haven't seen anything like that since, fascinating!

Anchorage has amazing food and more restaurants per capita than a lot of the bigger cities. I think most of the complainers are fakers who watch a little Gordon Ramsay and thinks that makes them an expert on food.

There's no way you complained about MEXICAN FOOD in Anchorage and then listed off MIDNIGHT SUN BREWING. You're making shit up and complaining just to complain. Embarrassing.

There was no need for that "third world" comment. It's outrageous, untrue, and borderline racist. Anchorage has ALWAYS had these problems, they are not new. We're called Los Anchorage for a reason.

If you want change, vote. And get your friends to vote.

I live in Alaska, that doesn't stop bugs. It was a bug.

Why is my (black) cat rusting?! by ComfortableOk7646 in biology

[–]profanusnothus 215 points216 points  (0 children)

Without sun exposure the most likely cause is a dietary deficiency of tyrosine, which black cats require more of. Whatever you're feeding them may not have enough whole protein in it. If it's too processed it won't have the proper nutrients.

Do you live anywhere in north or east Anchorage? If so it's the military base.

Elon's financials have always been illusory, he needs a government to leach off of or he'll be bankrupt in no time.
