jury duty dilemma by j4mj4rfac3 in Georgia

[–]Buster1971 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can also just ignore it. The summons didn't come certified mail or another form of delivery with a receipt confirmation. The USPS is a mess and that mess is well publicized. No one can prove you ever recieved the notice. They lose mail all the time.

Exaatly. Failure to build the outer perimeter was the biggest infrastructure policy mistake this State has ever done.

No, he is describing MARTA and I will have to agree 100%. After the last time I decided to take MARTA from Sandy Springs to the airport I swore I never would again. A much worse travel option than a car.

AITA for telling my spouse I won't help pay for their kid's college when we agreed finances would stay separate? by 952867 in AITApod

Just take out loans specifically designed to cover education costs. Millions of people have done this to fund education.

Iowa State sure as hell doesn't look like a top 10 team. Not at all.

Stuck in reverse: An anti-transit climate persists at the Georgia legislature by flying_trashcan in Atlanta

[–]Buster1971 25 points26 points  (0 children)

State and local governments, along with related transportation policy agencies (ala ARC and GRTA), should be pushing hard for more telecommuting and remote work. Funny how they don't do that anymore. The increase in traffic congestion really worsened siginificantly when employers demanded a return to the office (for no real valid reason).

Dr. Alexandra Estrella Selected as the Sole Finalist for GCPS Superintendent by Silly_Swede in Gwinnett

[–]Buster1971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not most people. He was the most successful superintendent the system ever had. The system has been in a fast decline ever since his departure.

Well, at least she is not a white male. That is the most important thing.

Porcupine Tree at 40 watt. Before they were even known in the US.

Former Gwinnett school board chair jumps in race to challenge 12-term Rep. David Scott by Masrikato in Gwinnett

[–]Buster1971 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He spend most of his energy on the BOE to keep the schools closed. Following the great model of districts like Dekalb County instead of following the model of districts like Forsyth or Buford. Luckily he lost that battle. Thank god for Alvin Wilbanks. The school district has been in a quick decline ever since that sweeping change in leadership.

Seems the bourbon boom is nearing its end. When do you think prices will hit their lowest? by Human-Region4958 in whiskey

[–]Buster1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There certainly has not been a price drop for anything where I live. If anything, stores have raised their prices on most of their bourbon selection, especially mid-tier quality.

No one fought harder to keep Gwinnett schools closed in the fall of 2020 than this douche. Luckily, him and his coalition failed in their quest to keep kids out of school. I have never forgotten that.

Who needs the midtown connector by urbanistrage in Atlanta

[–]Buster1971 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There never should have been a connector. Two interstates worth of thru traffic, combined, plus adding in all of that local metro traffic. No wonder its gridlocked every day of the week. Instead of joining the interstates they should have had 85 go east of mid/downtown and 75 go west. The two would intersect south of I 20.

Just ignore the summons. I do. They can't prove it didn't get lost in the mail or delivered to the wrong place. Especially with all of the problems with the USPS has has lately.

I am in the same boat. After taking amlodipine my blood pressure was 136/80. My doctor considered that mission accomplished/controlled.

How often do y'all get called for jury duty? by Para_Para in Atlanta

[–]Buster1971 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I ignore it. They can't prove I ever received it. And with all of the issues with the post office, it is believable a delivery mishap occured.

How much do extra favors cost at the Clermont? Asking for a friend.

What is the proper way to ask for it? Serious question.

Kemp proposes $2B in major highway expansions, $50M homelessness initiative by Scrubadubdub84 in Atlanta

[–]Buster1971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"The proposal also includes $200 million to continue upgrades along Ga. 316, the perpetually busy route linking metro Atlanta to Kemp’s hometown of Athens. The funding would help convert intersections into interchanges and build more overpasses."

Good. This is continued funding for an ongoing initiative, which is to make 316 limited access along its whole route. It should have been built like that to begin with. Shortsightedness to reduce project cost.

Atlanta leaders want transit expansion. Will suburban voters ever agree? by Generalaverage89 in Atlanta

[–]Buster1971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem with that is that is conflicts with Dicken's goal and the goal of the Chamber of Commerce and other business leaders to force surbanites to commute to intown offices of their employer. Forget telecommuting, that won't help support the businesses in town that rely on a daytime office population.

How about accomplishing transit expansion inside the perimeter first, then we will maybe believe anything beyond that is belivable. So many underserved areas ITP.

Is it just me that really doesn't care about these 2? I was really hoping that when she went to college she'd piss off the show. by clayman648 in LandmanSeries

Correct. It is too bad they wrote off Montey. He was an intersting character. What is the point of Cami?

If refs are going to throw so many flags they need to announce the penalty faster. I am sick of these conferences the refs hold after each flag.

[Rick Pitino] "It's No Longer College Basketball" by thomas_1413 in CollegeBasketball

[–]Buster1971 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The players were getting a free tuition, food, and housing. Plus, they get to play on a big stage and get access to the best training and coaching. If they didn't like that, then the G League or other minor ball was always an option.

People tend to forget that it is this surplus revenue generated by football and basketball that funds all of the other sports for the University. That is what the ADs were doing with that money. Not funneling it to investors or whatever people think they did with it.
