For those that have lived in the lower 48 as well, what are some less obvious tradeoffs when living in an Alaskan city?

Been a few years. Seems this sub is mostly dead, compared to the glory of late COVID.

Now that outlier markets like Sydney are trending down, do we have to take an L? Or has the prolonged period from 2020 rate cuts until today proven that bubble skeptics were correct?

Is there a bar that has Draft options for all of Stella, Heineken and Guinness?

I like the macro-brews from Europe but draft is better than can/bottle. Would love to go somewhere with all three in town!

Local 3D Printing services?

Seen posts about this from 4 years ago but could use an update.

Anyone here know of high quality 3D printing services in the area? Bonus points if they do CAD-for-hire as well.

La Croix "is" the "best" "beer" (for some people)

Beer was the first source of clean drinking water humans invented.

Sparkling water with flavor, such as beer, is THE human drink.

And I love that La Croix minimizes the concept into its purest form.

I separately like many kinds of beer :)

I just want to demonstrate that using human labor still has value in the information economy. I have a 1,000 upvote post with 100% upvote ration. Sound too good to be true?

The Youtube sponsorships are great for supporting creators. I have a suggestion.

I see Ground News ads all the time. I am aware of the product. I don't really need to be told again, you know?

Instead, I suggest you give the time of the ad spot back to the creator. Just ask that they say "This video is sponsored by Ground News" and then leave it at that. No more information needed.

Just my 2¢

What is the history of "Sticky Keys" and "Filter Keys"? My Windows XP days still cause me anxiety.

I love that we have this meme now. It's a Vols version of the Homer Simpson "Doh!"

"Crowd Work" is no different from reaction content on Twitch/Youtube

Standup comedy is a prepared art form. The speaker spends a lot of time and effort off stage to develop a sequence of words (with inflection, delivery, etc) to be funny. It's a very difficult skill and I deeply appreciate anyone that invests in putting on such a show.

Crowd work is the total opposite. Sure, sometimes the comic has a good zinger off the top of their head, but that's basically random chance. They aren't demonstrating skill or effort. They aren't even telling jokes. They're just asking people for details about their employment and relationships and then insulting them for answering. It's rarely funny and it is not impressive.

I wish comics would just stop crowd work entirely. It is lazy in the same way that AsmonGold is lazy.

Public health concern @ The Artistic Bean coffee shop

Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/cSsLvLivCahgPeMg8

As of late I've gone to the Artistic Bean quite a bit. I appreciate that they are willing to accommodate my requests for certain drinks, etc. The people are very nice.

But I'm quite worried as of this morning that the place is unsanitary. I had a very unpleasant experience.

How do I report the business to the health inspector?
