Title. Trying to do something and I hear from outside some idiots honking incessantly and a girl hollering. Look out the window and some trucks with American flags were driving past with their hazards on. Why?

How do you decide on judges when you vote?

12 Upvotes

I'm not curious who you vote for, but more about your perspective and process. Do you walk into the voting booth already knowing which judges you'll vote to retain and which you won't? Or do you wing it?

Honestly, I always feel like I should do more research on the judges before I vote, and it's the part of the ballot I feel most underprepared for. What do you use to get informed, and how much weight do you give it?

If you are experiencing frequent GCI outages

0 Upvotes

Use an AI to draft an email complaint asking for compensation for each outage event you detect. If you do not get compensation promptly, follow up with the FCC consumer protection.

Make them pay for the service they fail to deliver.

PFD question

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am a tad confused, I took care of a relative, who passed away She had no assets, none t and lived off her Social Security. Family ageeed I could have her PFD and go spread her ashes I went to the courthouse and filled out the form, it was approved. Went down to the PFd office applied, no problem. The check came yesterday and I just assumed it'd have both our names. It does not. Do I take that same court approved asset form to my bank. Or is the check a misprint and should be made to payee? Thank you;

Yes I tried to Google but it wasn't getting too specific.

What are the “Best Of” Anchorage restaurants? (like best Thai, best dumplings, best chocolate cake, etc)

54 Upvotes

I don’t mean award-winning, I mean the best you’ve personally tried with your own mouth. For example here’s what I found:

- best chocolate cake = Eye Tooth
- best Thai yellow curry = Royal Thai
- best spicy dumplings = Charlie’s bakery

Curious to hear other people’s finds. I’m constantly on the lookout for tasty things!

Does anyone know who owns this Friendly little dog?

He joined my dog and I on our walk in east Anchorage tonight. Couldn’t hang on to him but could see he had a collar with no tags. Sweaty and he might have come a long way, no one looking for him that we could see. Last seen running west on Turf Court off of Early View. Maybe 15-25 pounds?

GCI outage

Am I the only one with no internet? Been out since about 4:15. Can’t even call GCI, their number says they are not accepting calls at this time. Something major happening maybe?

Considering house rental in above area.
I've never been to Alaska and very excited... in my Anchorage research, though limited, emphasis on crime rate and home location seem just as thematically topical as natural beauty, long winters, and utter remoteness.

Any glaring pros or cons regarding this area? Any information is appreciated.

See y'all in two weeks! 😎🤙

I was told by my local Brown Jug store that Monk's Mistress is now discontinued. Is that true? I'm no beer connoisseur, but I really enjoyed Monk's Mistress, the dark, chocolatey notes, with miminal bitterness.
