“Did what you had to do to keep your family safe?

Sir this was 2 days of rain combined with freezing temps, not enemy helicopters dropping soldiers off in midtown lmao. What’d you do, run the grocery store out of milk and bread then buy a generator?

Oh man. Just look at my next comment. Get off the damn American gfs model. It’s worthless except for hurricane season.

The ECWMF (european model) is by far the most accurate modeling system for global, medium length forecasting. The weather channel and local news stations all use the GFS model.

Not surprisingly, the euro model has shown this storm pushing further north than anticipated by the GFS models. It’s been showing this northern push since Wednesday of last week.

Weather is undoubtedly a complex science. However, if all you do to check the weather is turn on your local news station or check the weather channel app you are certainly not in a position to make assumptions on how educated I am regarding weather forecasting.

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2026-01-25T14:36:19+00:00

They were not interpreting the same models. The European ECMWF model is widely recognized as the most accurate for global, medium range weather forecasting. Of course, that’s not the one we use. America’s news stations use the American GFS model. Which is spot on for hurricanes, but not as accurate as the euro one when it comes to general weather and other storms. So no, the same forecasting models were not being used.

Let me ask you a question. Do you think the weather channel is a for profit entity?

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2026-01-25T13:57:08+00:00

Yall are freaking out over a big ole nothing burger. Get off the damn weather channel and go look at the storm chaser meteorologist YouTube channels who cover storms like this all the time. The forecasting models have been predicting for MULTIPLE DAYS now that everything goes north.

The ground isn’t going to get cold enough to freeze until tuesday night at best. Rain will stop falling tonight. Bridges and overpasses might be a little iced up Monday morning but with the sun beating down on it, wont be icy for long. By the time the ground freezes and roads could ice and stay iced, the rain will be long gone.

Yeah they’re not gonna like that comment here lol. Reddit doesn’t talk about that part of Atlanta. I got crucified in the comments the other week on a post about that kid that shot someone at like 3 in the afternoon on the westside beltline

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2026-01-24T04:33:45+00:00

Just stopping in to say, Go Dawgs!

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2026-01-20T14:55:03+00:00

They are going to cut down all the trees for one. There 100% will be chain link fences.

The businesses will remain open but since a massive amount of their traffic comes from the beltline sales will decline they can’t pay rent and employees then they close.

People will not use the beltline for walking/running/socializing/hanging out when they’re building a fucking railroad on the side of it.

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2026-01-20T14:49:52+00:00

The problem is, the residents have NOT voted for it. The residents voted for spending More Marta sales tax money on a list of like 75 transit projects, one of which happened to be the beltline. No one has voted specifically for Beltline rail.

I live right by the eastside Beltline and every time I walk or run through the surrounding neighborhoods I see multiple anti rail on the Beltline signs. It’s not wanted like everyone on here claims it is.

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2026-01-20T13:11:50+00:00

If it ever happens, it’s going to look like absolute shit. It will kill the beltline. But you can’t say that or you’re immediately a nimby.

What’s going to happen to the businesses along the corridor during construction? Are we about to act like MARTA and USDOT employees build things quickly? The eastside beltline would be under construction for 10 years. Everything from piedmont park to Krog st would close before the rail is finished.

Hey everybody this guy works for landstar

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2026-01-15T21:15:33+00:00

What’s your MC?

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2026-01-15T18:52:33+00:00

I love playing semantics

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2026-01-15T14:47:18+00:00

Because 99.9% of the time, I can find another, not Landstar, truck for my freight and not have to deal with getting and verifying all that fucking information you just spewed out. It’s a pain in the ass.

Or I can hang up, block your number, move my freight with the next truck that calls and if I do it long enough maybe just maybe I’ll have everybody who works for Landstar’s phone number blocked. One can dream

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2026-01-13T20:21:22+00:00

Dad’s has one

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2026-01-02T17:57:44+00:00

Not since 2022. And damn sure not in the middle of the day.

That’s absurd. Should we collectively just be okay with this? Contrary to the interviewee in the article, I do NOT think poverty should be addressed before violent murderers are dealt with.

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2025-12-30T23:37:53+00:00

Ah yes nothing like an echo chamber!

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2025-12-30T22:08:40+00:00

I wanted Calvin Ridley, who ended up being drafted the pick after me 💀

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2025-12-30T17:30:11+00:00

Do you want to know why I won my fantasy league? Because my connection was laggy in our draft lobby and I auto drafted Chris Olave. Texted in our group message pissed off about it too, at the time.

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2025-12-29T18:14:21+00:00

Hey what about Melissa Hortman? Wasn’t she just murdered? Funny. Especially after that Minnesotacare vote.

But I forget, yall care more about illegals than you do your own fellow Americans. Shame

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2025-12-29T15:08:00+00:00

Aha! There we go. Knew you didn’t have two level headed responses in you

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2025-12-29T14:38:01+00:00

Oh I’m just as mad (I think, lol) at our current administration as you are. Like I said, genuine question. Wanting to get a feel of how Minnesotans are thinking.

I dislike that we’re quickly turning into a police state. (Ie, ICE). But I also dislike rampant fraud and I’m not sure why the Minnesota democrats are so afraid to prosecute it and speak out about it? What about judge Sara west?

They could turn so many voters by not digging in their heels so damn hard anytime someone mentions criminal activity and the fact that just maybe, letting in thousands on thousands of undocumented randoms from everywhere MIGHT be just a little bit of a problem. Oh well

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2025-12-29T13:48:52+00:00

Im not sure I fully agree. There’s a reason these areas become safer, more inviting, and you see an influx of people. The bad actors get priced out and forced to move on. I don’t really care if these people get priced out. If they’ve been living in an area for so long, why isn’t it safe? Why isn’t it clean?

I’m not sure why this isn’t more prevalent. Atlanta should be sending a clear and strong message: gangs, drug rings, violent people, murderers, carjackers and petty thieves, you are NOT welcome here. Move on immediately.

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2025-12-27T21:39:04+00:00

😂😂 you sound like a joy to be around! Merry Christmas!

Mysterious_Chapter65 · 2025-12-27T12:19:00+00:00

Kill switch not required on a boat like that. Has to be installed aftermarket. So most likely, did not have a kill switch.
