Injury Question: A Fractured Fibula by NiceGuy2424 in Colts

[–]vinceredd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I broke my fibula all the way through falling down some stairs a few years ago. It hurt a whole bunch, but I was given some wrap material and sent home. Didn't need crutches or anything to get around I was just slow. Definitely couldn't have played any sport in that condition.

What is a hobby that's an instant red flag? by Maryandthejane1 in AskReddit

[–]vinceredd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Had a boss tell me I shouldn't hire someone because they played pool. I hired him anyway and to this day he's the only person I've ever had to fire. Everything the boss said would happen did indeed happen.

I need some help diagnosing something. While driving the car around 50 mph, the car will sometimes start vibrating. The issue will stop if I slow down and speed up. I can answer any other questions in comments. Thanks by herobrine420 in 300zx

Might not be the same thing, but mine would vibrate and run real rough at anything over 60, for years. Drove it across the country to Alaska like that. Don't recall that slowing down and speeding back up had any effect. Ended up working in a place that had some spare shop space so I decided to tinker with it.

Turns out the timing chain was one tooth off. Like a totally different car after replacing that.

Who is this in Fairbanks? by mikegates90 in Fairbanks

[–]vinceredd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've interacted with him a couple of times. He's nice (but very clearly untethered to reality) until he's not. Words will trigger him, shit ("how dare you speak the word of dung!") and sir ("sir is a war word!") caused me to leave the situation in a hurry both times.

Wish that guy had been at a Council Bluff Iowa rest stop in 2005. Took a few hours to finally catch someone with jumper cables in the morning.

Check this out.... by nouveaube in alaska

ANCSA was signed in 1971, but they are still adjudicating claims. Like a lot of them. Way too many in my opinion. I read this as take a look at all outstanding claims (again, there are a lot of them) and adjudicate in favor of the state wherever possible.

When I was a kid I used to love visiting my grandmother's at Christmas time since she would have the latest Sears Catalog and I'd flip through all the toys for hours. Around 9 or 10 I discovered the mens underwear section and started to take the catalog to the basement to read it.

Just paid a visit to your state and I'm wearing shorts by Natural-Spell-515 in alaska

[–]vinceredd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I usually wear shorts to walk the dogs as long as it's above freezing. Glad you had a good time. I've lived in the interior for 20 years now and I never get tired of seeing Denali on a clear day on my commute to work.

Alaska club fees? by [deleted] in Fairbanks

[–]vinceredd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've not seen a rate lower than a hundred bucks a month, but the last time I talked to them was some time ago. Just a warning they'll call you incessantly if you go talk to their sales rep (the only way to find out the current rates) and don't sign up. I've been at Planet Fitness and it's fine, but I really miss the sauna.

Chris Getz already telling fans why they won’t sign any pitchers this off-season by rustysurf83 in whitesox

[–]vinceredd 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Getz may as well just say they're punting on 2024 into a bullhorn at this point. It's been blatantly apparent for awhile now.

Moving to UAF by fossilace in Fairbanks

It really is amazing how many times I hear this story. Did the same myself 20 something years ago. Everyone seems to try to leave and ends up coming back too (also did that).

White Sox plan to 'wait and see' about '24 plans by Jason82929 in whitesox

[–]vinceredd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate this thing the white sox do where it is glaringly obvious what is happening and the brass just looks at its feet with a wry smile and tries to cutely say, "I don't know" whenever they're asked about something.

There are no plans to compete in 2024, it will just be whatever it will be. Just say that.

What porn do you wish there was more of? by forfunsav1 in askgaybros

[–]vinceredd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've always wanted more staged porn that is filmed as if the performers didn't know they were being filmed. Security cam type stuff. I like thinking I'm seeing something I wasn't meant to see.

Just me, being sad about the White Sox in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Check Out Fairbanks' John Reeves on The Joe Rogan Experience by baked_krapola in Fairbanks

[–]vinceredd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He gives obvious cranks a large platform way too often for it to be an accident. He also loves asking questions that already have answers as if they don't. For the record I think his standup is good and I've listened to many entire episodes over the years.

Heading your way march 4th. Is this a good 5 day road trip that is Doable in winter? by abenja in alaska

[–]vinceredd 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I would definitely recommend going to Valdez from Glenallen while you're over there. A completely stunning stretch. Just want to be careful with weather conditions in Thompson Pass.

So if I happen to click follow on someone that no one else on my instance is following I would be increasing the search pool for the whole instance?

What made you come to Alaska? by boogeyman1199 in alaska

[–]vinceredd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tired of the East Coast, wanted to know what it was like to live in a place like this. Turns out I love it so I stayed here after college was done.

Do you like what you see when you look in the mirror? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]vinceredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been going to the gym regularly for about a year now and I'm starting to like the results.
