ARealAlaskan@lemmy.catoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Republicans join Democrats in Senate vote to rescind Trump Canada tariffsEnglish4·24 days agoI called both of them. One got my thanks, and one my dissatisfaction. I don’t think he cares… But I did anyway.

ARealAlaskan@lemmy.catoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Republicans join Democrats in Senate vote to rescind Trump Canada tariffsEnglish451·25 days agoI feel like maybe we should call our 4 senators (AK, MW and both KY) and say thanks for voting the way the did. I am from AK, I generally don’t agree with a lot of what Lisa does, but she does have a history of occasional rank breaking, and, performative or not, she is still one of the only senators who doesn’t religiously fall in line.
ARealAlaskan@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you would like to abolish, and why? (Humorously)English1·1 month agoEh. I don’t love burrito heaven. But I also eat breakfast burritos almost exclusively, so maybe that is it.

If you ever come to Anchorage, Alaska. Burrito factory. It’s in a gas station, but they have a proper kitchen, and cook to order. Super weird, I know, but i take all my friends there when they come for a visit, and they always ask to go again, the next time they come up.

ARealAlaskan@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you would like to abolish, and why? (Humorously)English7·1 month agoYes! I do not understand children in breweries. It seems like irresponsible parenting to me. Taking your kid with you to a place not meant for them, while you drink, and then getting into your car and driving your kid home after?
Just go have a beer at home ffs, and don’t subject me to your kid running around like a… Kid.

Pineapple is only slimy when inappropriately treated. For pizza you need to cut into small chunks, drain over a sink for a minute, and then quick fry in a pan to give a little caramelization. THEN put on pizza and bake. It is magic, paired with Canadian bacon, salty, sweet. Yum
Best breakfast burrito: the Hawaiian. Ham, potatoes, pineapple, eggs, sour cream. In fact, you have inspired me, with your hateful statements this morning, and I’ll be putting and order in shortly.

ARealAlaskan@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•A volcano near Alaska's largest city could erupt in the coming weeks or months, scientists sayEnglish61·1 month agoI live here.
There is no real good place to evacuate to. All of the large population centers will likely be impacted, and most of those places aren’t “large” at all. Literally nowhere to go, if we wanted to, except to the lower 48, or Canada.
The distance Alaskan cities are from anywhere else makes evacuation logistically … Challenging.
The volcano could blow tomorrow, or in 6 months. You cannot realistically evacuate and abandon your entire life for a totally indeterminate amount of time.
We had a similar eruption in 1992. It was fine. Airport was down for a day.
The only real danger is volcanic ash. The volcano is 70ish miles off the coast.
Everyone here is aware. We will all just hunker down. 3-7 days of food in the house, and water. Extra pet food. Schools and businesses will probably shut down for a few days in some towns. No driving, so the ash doesn’t get kicked back up. Tape all of our windows to keep ash out, get dog booties, cotton to stuff their ears if you have pets that have to go outside. Swim goggles for pets and people. Respirators or masks do you don’t breath it in. Might have to go a few days without electronics.
All in all, everyone I know is just annoyed this will happen in the summer, and we’ll be stuck inside. Summer is precious here, losing any of the days suck.
The far, far greater danger is the wildfire season, it’s been a very dry winter here. We always have lots of fires in the state, but this year will likely be worse, and with all the “winning” in the government right now, it is unclear what the firefighting response/capabilities will be. THAT could get plenty of people killed, and absolutely devastate out cities and individuals economic stability, which, frankly, is already not stable.
Which ones are you in? I like personal finance and am in several on Reddit, but none here.
