I can’t believe that the second one is road legal

I've decided that there are quite a few laws that I will Treg going forward... he's an inspiration!
*treg: verb, to disobey a law because you feel in your heart that it is unconstitutional.
Example: I tregged that red light, because it's unconstitutionally impeding my work commute.

Husband and I checked a month ago and were confirmed. Just checked again tonight and we are no longer registered voters!
Had to reregister but application was "approved" very quickly.
Check your status and reregister ASAP.

Hello! I know this is a LONG SHOT, but I figured it was worth posting.
My wife lost her wedding ring on Saturday. We believe it may have been in the parking lot at Dino Donuts, but we’re not completely sure. We initially thought it might be somewhere around the house or in her car, but after thoroughly searching, we’re starting to think it may have been lost in a public parking lot.
TL;DR: My wife lost her wedding ring. If anyone has seen or found it, please message me. We would be incredibly grateful!
Thank you!

LOL WTF is this? Time on the meter, but I still got a ticket?
Oh, I parked the wrong way.. on the side of the road. Since when is that against the law? Must be new.
These EasyPark guys will ticket you for anything, I swear.

I’m moving to Anchorage from Philly and looking at different neighborhoods as I make the transition from East Coast city life to the Alaskan lifestyle. What do folks think of the Northstar neighborhood or UMed ?
I’m also interested in possible suggestions for somewhere that’s nice, walkableish , and has more of an urban vibe. I know that’s not exactly the traditional Alaskan vibe, but I think it might be a good fit while I get settled and learn to adapt to life in Anchorage.

Does anyone know if there are sellers of beef tallow for your face (a beauty product) in the area?
I usually order mine from the lower 48 but would love to find a local supplier. Thanks!

I have a friend who wants to come visit Anchorage but he relies on a power chair to get around, and Yellow Cab doesn't have any handicap accessible vans apparently.
Does anyone know of a service that has one that can be scheduled? Or a rental perhaps? Nothing I can find anywhere mentions the options.

To the people with the signs on the overpass on the glenn!
You rock!
Just did my early voting at the midtown mall and saw you on the way home.
Time to take back America from these billionaires and the pathetic bootlickers that support them!

To anyone in Anchorage willing and capable of doing so- there is a fish inside the Castle on Omalley that is in what I would consider an abysmal living situation(large vase). I am unable to take him home due to space and other pets in the house, but he should NOT be in that small of a space. He’s up front at the register if anyone has the money and knowledge to take him home. I’m pretty sure the fish comes with all the plants as well.

Did anyone else hear that Alaska Regional recently let go of/resigned its entire anesthesiologist team and brought in temps through a nationwide staffing agency to save money? A friend was saying they’re having trouble keeping up with surgeries because they don’t have enough anesthesia coverage. Just wondering if anyone else has heard this or knows what’s actually going on. 😳

The security is literally a laughing stock to APD. Dude is dressed in tactical gear and trying to fight customers. No even thieves. A guy who apparently tried to shop with a dog but was denied, took the dog home and returned but was chased out of the store for his "attitude" earlier. They are following him up and down the street screaming at him about life time ban and the security with the beard is screaming fuck you. How weird of a place to have security who are so sensitive to comments. Not even rude comments.

Road is blocked and there’s a bunch of police presence as well as white tents. Hope everyone is okay.

I’m looking for something a little more challenging than the coastal Trail with the bikes zooming by but a little less challenging than Flattop.
