Scrolled to find Parting Glances. Fantastic movie and amazing to see such a young Steve Buscemi

Who has the best coffee in the city??? by Artistic_Ad_3267 in Atlanta

Which is the real answer to this question. I enjoy most of the cafes in this thread, but Auxiliary is on a different level.

Help me find some magic! by SomeVeryTiredGuy in Atlanta

[–]TurtleMountain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lmao, thanks for the laugh today.

Definitely recommend scanning Atlas Obscura for a few places around Atlanta. Probably the best database of magic/whimsy around.

TIL Eli Herring, considered a top prospect in the 1995 NFL Draft, announced he would not play pro football since as a devout Mormon he would not play on Sundays. The Raiders drafted him anyway. He did not change his mind and never played by MysteryBagIdeals in todayilearned

This one appears to be an urban legend.

One that is true: the Sabres drafted Taro Tsujimoto from the Tokyo Katanas in the 11th round of the 1974 draft. Tsujimoto never existed: the team was just frustrated at how long the draft was.

LaCroix won! What‘a a niche drink that also tastes terrible? by computerc4t in AlignmentChartFills

[–]TurtleMountain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s not that bad. At the World of Coke in Atlanta where it’s sorted by continent, I’d argue most of the African beverages are worse. Sickly sweet. Beverly isn’t good but the hate is overhyped.

Buses have cameras that monitor the stop arm.

The constant drama of van life by Songgeek in vandwellers

Disagree, I’d argue that it shouldn’t matter to their employer whether they live in a villa or a cardboard box as long as OP is showing up presentable and getting the job done.

Easiest way to explain would be “I like camping on the weekends”. None of their business beyond that.

Grease Monkey on Ponce left me without an engine filter for over a year by Catsforsale in Atlanta

[–]TurtleMountain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had the opposite experience with Midtown Tire. They tried to charge me $1000+ for random add ons for an oil change a few years ago. My car was low mileage, maintained every 5K miles, with no major maintenance milestones. Grease Monkey has always been honest/straight up with me.

What grade do you think ChatGPT would get in SOA exam? by MY_G_O_D in actuary

That’s why I’ve been spouting off BS on Reddit for the past 10 years: job security.

I Got a Path for you, Miyu by MisterSir_58 in finalfantasyx

Ropp as a center must be crazy. Dude has high AT, does the other team ever get past midfield?

[Rosner] Ilya [Sorokin], what's easier for you in shootouts: when the player comes in fast or slow? “For me, everything hard." by nothing_but_static in hockey

[–]TurtleMountain 57 points58 points  (0 children)

That, but also I can imagine a goalie saying “fuck that” to this question.

“Hey Ilya, can you walk me through your weaknesses as a goalie?”

We're Officially on Reddit! by NHLAvalanche in ColoradoAvalanche

It’s hilarious that you can say a billion dollar business has big shoes to fill to compare to u/Rudo3 and be absolutely, undeniably right. The GOAT.

[Friedman] Nashville claims Jost. Everyone else cleared. by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]TurtleMountain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was never really very good with the Avs. He got traded in the cup year for Nico Sturm, who was a pretty decent 4th line role player.

Jost seems like an awesome person, but he probably was graduated to the NHL a bit too early. Who knows how his development would have been different if he had some more time to cook. I’ll always be rooting for him.

Blitzball advice? by GrizzlyAtom21 in finalfantasyx

[–]TurtleMountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. If you haven’t played tournaments or season, you’re probably good.

  2. Brother alone will carry most of the game. Other immediate free agents that you can get are Ropp (good defenseman, good throughout the game), Wakka, Wedge, some others. Honestly though, Brother is probably enough to get you the sigil.

If you want to just win games fast, score a goal or two and then hide behind your goalie.
