I went to the computer shop to buy a new PSU because I didn't want to wait for Amazon and I saw copies of Windows XP on the shelves and a Dell Optiplex with a video card that didn't fit the case so it had a cut out of it.

so how does alaska work, the few alaskans i talked to just built shacks in the middle of no where and just shoot animals and make liquer all day. Do real jobs exist, does no one give a single gently caress 90% of the time?

Alaska is pretty weird what with the government giving out money annually, a large segment of the population getting quality healthcare for free and being able to lease a couple of acres of land for 99 years and only paying a penny.

Some people just have a PO box and collect the checks, but to do it legally you'd have to change your state residency and actually live up there most of the year. The free health care at the native hospitals you can get for having native blood, being a active or former member of the military, or being accepted into a tribe. In order to lease those acres you need one share of a native corporation then you have to build a structure on that property within a year and maintain it for a year and a tent counts. So it's up to you how much effort you want to put into this.

"Did you see a bunch of drunk indians in the city boy?" "Yes dad, and I respected their wisdom." "Good kid." Yeah it's pretty endemic. :(
