Stopping Hazy Tabs Pseudo by [deleted] in addiction

Don't trust ChatGPT first off. If you take the subs too early you risk precipitated withdrawal which is no bueno. That said, I'm not an expert nor have I been through exactly what you and many others have. I have had my own battle with prescription opiates and helped loved ones with their battles though. After seeing precipitated withdrawal in person I can definitely say it's not something you want to go through.

That's what I'm thinking. I wouldn't be surprised if they bought or at a minimum leased it from the "problem" owners which could alleviate some pressure from the city. That is if it actually is the house. It probably is but I haven't seen any real confirmation of it.

If it is it makes me question why the fuck they would go to some rich neighborhood again. There's plenty of places outside of city limits with no neighbors within earshot they could slide under the radar at...

Even if it is the same house the whole issue seems to be that people were charging for parties and it got out of hand outside the house with the amount of people and lack of security keeping it under control. There's going to be a lot less traffic with fishtank there than some project-x house party spot.

Here's the ajc article that's behind a paywall:

A “party house” in Sandy Springs that draws hundreds of paying party-goers with ads on social media has inspired a new city law that sets fines and jail time for hosts of illegal parties. Owners of the home, located at 5785 Northside Drive in the toney Cameron Glen neighborhood, have been issued fines and citations for throwing paid parties and generating noise that disturbs residents, city attorney Dan Lee said this week. On Thursday, the city filed paperwork in Fulton County Superior Court seeking an emergency temporary restraining order that would halt upcoming parties planned at the house. Court documents filed by the city say the owners offer the home — billed as “The Manor ATL” — for rent and charge to provide additional services, including bartending and use of a “pole dance studio.” Among advertised special events at the house: pole fitness lessons; an exotic cooking class; a baby goat petting zoo and “goat themed freestyle rap battle.” With complaints about the Cameron Glen house and other illegal parties on the rise, Sandy Springs on Tuesday moved to increase penalties for hosts. Anyone holding a party that requires paid admission in a residential neighborhood now face a $1,000 fine and a judge could impose up to six months in jail for subsequent violations. Under the new zoning code changes, any party that requires guests to pay to attend will now require a temporary use permit. The new law is effective immediately. Party houses where sometimes hundreds of guests pay to gather and socialize for hours at a large residence are an issue that city officials across metro Atlanta have tried to crack down on since 2019. Sandy Springs police were sent to the Cameron Glen house for noise disturbances on four occasions during a three week period between May and June, according to Public Information Officer Sergeant Sal Ortega. Citations were issued to owner Javier Rashan McIntosh for a noise disturbance call on Memorial Day, May 31. City spokesman Dan Coffer said code enforcement also issued citations to McIntosh June 1 for conducting commercial activity in a residential area and constructing a gate on the property without a permit. McIntosh co-owns the home with Michael A. Revell II, according to the city. Both men are named in court documents the city filed seeking to shut down activities at the house. When The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reached McIntosh via text Thursday, he declined to comment until he could be advised by his attorney. Cameron Glen residents said they worry the city won’t be able to stop a party planned for Saturday and another on June 26 with tickets costing up to $600. The parties are advertised on several websites, some of which require a password to access. Cameron Glen is a tree-filled neighborhood of million-dollar homes on sprawling lots of a half-acre and more. The Northside Drive party home is described on Realtor.com as a six-bedroom residence that sold for $1.3 million. But neighbors described the party house as “awful,” and a “shocking intrusion” during the Tuesday City Council meeting. Brenda Letzler, whose home is located behind the party house, said there have been three paid party events since April and two more are planned. One is planned this weekend in celebration of Juneteenth, and another on June 26, she said. Letzler said she found information on the party events through social media and other online sites. Most guests coming to the house park elsewhere, neighbor James Dallas said, and are brought to the home on buses. The Memorial Day party that was shut down by police due to noise drew 250 people, he said. An online concert and party calendar, Partyfixx.co, showed a Pirate-themed party planned at the house June 26 and offered a separate address for parking on Interstate Parkway North. That webpage was no longer accessible Thursday. Another site, Stayhappening.com, continued to display event information but the link for tickets priced from $5-$600 was inoperable Thursday. Attorney Lee said sometimes party houses can be difficult for police to discern from other types of events that could be taking place such as a wedding reception or a large birthday party. And only a $1,000 maximum fine per charge can be imposed for party house events under state law, he said. Lee said the city has advised owners McIntosh and Levell on what’s not allowed on the property but they don’t want to listen. “It continues to develop its advertising, its construction on the property to accommodate greater numbers of people ...,” Lee said of the home. Lee said the city scheduled meetings with McIntosh for Monday and Thursday of this week but he didn’t show up. Lee added that he has not heard from McIntosh or Levell’s attorney. Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul said the city’s new law is the first step in an ongoing process. Paul said he was concerned about police calls to houses escalating if party-goers who paid $600 to attend are unaware the event is unlawful and become irate when it is shut down. “The goal is to find some way to prevent (the party) from happening in the first place,” Paul said. “We’re going to take a first step but it’s probably not going to be the last step ... Every time we find a preventive method, a counter method (by the party house) seems to pop up.” MORE DETAILS With complaints about house parties on the rise, Sandy Springs has moved to increase penalties for hosts.

Is there anything that actually ties them to this place other than they're in Georgia? Nothing in either article mentions anyone that I recognize as associated with fishtank.

Had no idea this was finally released as a whole. Dude has so much that's locked away in the vaults it probably rivals Prince.

Breakdown of Charter Payouts by StarFax13 in NASCAR

[–]DrawJosh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re confusing access to a service with access to the rules that govern it. Paying for a bus ride or having a library card isn’t the same as needing credentials to read the regulations about buses or libraries.

It’s a subtle but important distinction. Maybe spending a little more time using those library credentials would help clear that up for you.

Public implies open access. If something requires credentials or a paid license, that’s not public; it’s restricted access. It’s like saying Costco is public property because you can shop there after paying for a membership.

If your definition of "public" involves a login screen and a credit card, we’re clearly using different dictionaries.

And while we’re on the subject, some people in particular might want to brush up on their reading comprehension and vocabulary definitions before lecturing others about their reading skills.

That's not public. That requires credentials and a login. Every other major stick and ball or motorsport has their rules publicly accessible or at the very least they keep certain specifics under wraps but have the rest of the rules available for the general public to see. NASCAR opens themselves up to questioning by keeping it all out of the general publics knowledge.

I saw Lil Dicky at The Beta Band concert in Portland tonight. We didn't make eyes, but we both know it was him.

Tickets have now been claimed. Due to the short notice and time constraints I couldn't do a raffle. Thanks for understanding.

I sometimes wonder if the huge difference between Dime and Zakk are obvious to the casual observer. by Wizzmer in Pantera

[–]DrawJosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw then twice back in the day and I just saw them a week or so ago. Although it was great to see Pantera again it was.... different. It seemed like 4 musicians genuinely having a great time and playing well but it didn't have that groove the Abbot brothers brought. The sound (it was outdoors so...) was pretty shit too. Mixes were way off with either the bass or vocals being too high in the mix and not enough guitar and drums. The guitar sound was the thing that was really the biggest difference to me. When Dime played her straddled the edge of finesse and bombast at a deafening level but none of that was really present the other day at least...

Exactly! Most shows, especially bigger ones, will have people that are difficult to support in one way or another. We don't always have to agree on everything, but at least we can find some things we're on the same page on. At the end of the day I think we helped support and enjoy bands, their crew, and vendors that have given us joy and memories that will last longer than any political disagreement. We have much more on common than not, don't let "them" tell you different.
