I live in our most earthquake-prone state and experienced the 7.1 quake last November, plus many others (not the largest earthquake in North America, on 27 March 1964, though — I was living in a suburb of Chicago at the time). I keep lots of water stashed around the house, have a ton of backpacking equipment (dried foo…

Or the Quixotic crusade for our 4th Amendment rights . . .

Not with my Alaska DL, they’re not! (However, because I’m a retired fed with a military dependent ID, the gov’t already has several photos of me along with ink and digital fingerprints. Not my DNA yet, but that will probably come some day soon.)

You and I must be the only two people left who opt out of “advanced imaging” [sic] each and every time we fly. Which for me is quite a lot. I’ll be opting out of facial recognition as well. What could possibly go wrong wit this great new system, already known to function poorly for the majority of humans, i.e. those wh…

I’m guessing you meant to write that you could meet at the BUYER’s bank and see them withdraw the purchase cash in front of you. It doesn’t make sense the other way around.

Men are allowed to say it. “Girls,” not so much. It’s that simple.

Or, you could just keep it simple and look at which aircraft the company flies using SeatGuru. It’s pretty easy to reverse engineer the plane model number from the seat layout you see when reserving seats and SeatGuru’s alternative maps for that airline. You could also look up the N number on the tail of every US…

Step 1: Have a girl.

If you live in Alaska, Prime is basically the only way to get free shipping most of the time. I do NOT get stuff as fast as you Lower48ers, though, despite the fact the world’s 5th busiest cargo airport is 10 miles from me, and despite the fact I’m no farther from the West coast than New England is. Most Prime orders…

I’m a registered Dem who caucused for Bernie in 2016. He easily won the caucuses here in Anchorage. over Hilary Clinton. Lots of AK Dems and independents are progressive, but we are outnumbered by Bible thumpers who came to AK during the oil boom. Our state legislature relies on coalitions to get anything done, which…

I commented about this too, AND tweeted the author about it, AND emailed Jezebel’s editors.  Crickets.

I live in Anchorage. “Inuit” is generally used as a catch-all term for Canada’s indigenous people who were formerly known as Eskimos. If you are Inupiaq, you use that term. I’m no Republican but your characterization of the GOP here pushing for access to Native lands is not something I’ve seen in 20 years of working…

If your first name is Jason you are safe from being compared to this guy. Because his first name is JUSTIN. Jezebel is merely repeating the mistake BuzzFeed made. Here’s a link to the story by our local CBS affiliate here in Anchorage: https://www.ktva.com/story/39123509/anchorage-man-pleads-guilty-in-choking-sexual-as…

By echoing BuzzFeed’s story without checking, Jezebel has repeated a major error. The perp’s name is JUSTIN Schneider, not Jason. I live in Anchorage.

Alaska Natives don’t call themselves Inuit.  The term is Alaska Native, or their actual tribe.

49th State Brewing in Anchorage, Alaska. At this time of year, if you are sitting on one of three layers of decks, or even inside, you can watch the sun set to the north behind the Alaska Range, including +20,000' Denali, around 11:40 PM each evening. You also have sweeping views of the Talkeetnas to the NE, the…

Good thing Trump only “reads” the NY Post, not the NYT!

My math says 2-4-2 = EIGHT seats. 25% of which are middle. But note that given a constant fuselage and aisle width, those eight seats have a bit more elbow room than the nine seats in a 3-3-3 configuration.

Stilton?

Unless they are female, in which case they are “nasty.”
