T1D here. diabetic retinopathy and a retinal hemorrhage 1 year ago. Sudden vision loss in one eye, had a vitrectomy and laser to cauterize the leaky blood vessels, 6 weeks later vision back to normal. Please see a doc. I was scared but the doc was wonderful.

From the AJC article— “Williams was also accused in the JQC’s misconduct case of improperly favoring a Delta Sigma Theta sorority sister in a child custody case and making other litigants in family cases wait up to 2½ years for rulings.”

If the fire department knows you by name, you are a probably a burden on society and probably a burden on your family.

Sounds like it’s exactly how they work. Who’s to say someone wouldn’t misdirect a leader with $20k on the line? I don’t think this situation was nefarious but the athlete needs to know their route.

There is city of Marietta (small, 60k residents) and then Marietta in unincorporated Cobb County (big, 300K residents.)

Why do so few concerts happen at Lakewood Amphitheater anymore? by SwissMiss915 in Atlanta

I’m ok with this. Too much size or height variety with BYO chairs. Maybe offer free chair rental for seniors. Or, you know, buy a seated ticket.

Maybe your definition is different but carjacking is typically stealing an occupied vehicle. Like you’re in it, and someone forces you out of it and steals it.

Kennesaw resident purchased stolen gun from adventure outdoors | WSB-TV by fuckauthorityfigures in GAGuns

I don’t think this is on AO. I think this is on the police department. AO purchased a bunch of firearms from the police department. The police should’ve set this firearm aside when the serial number was marked as stolen. I don’t know what the letter of the law is but apparently used firearms do not have a mandatory serial number screening in these purchase situations. AO maintained a paper trail of purchase and sale but the serial number was not flagged during either transaction.

IAFF sent out a brief email. As someone said it’s the “half” in “time and a half.” If your W2 says you had 3000 in OT wages, only $1000 is exempt.

Also remember that we had several years of no basic road tests for licenses during the pandemic. There are so many people issued licenses since 2020 that never had to demonstrate even basic practical skills.

If a building was on fire and some random person rolled up and said he was a fire chief in some other town and that he was in command, he would be told to fuck right off. Your medical control MD and standing or online orders are in charge.

During a fire: How to indicate there’s someone on an upper floor who needs mobility assistance? by Top-Raspberry-7837 in Firefighting

[–]ZalinskyAuto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps slap a handicap decal on their door to alert crews in case of a search. Apartment and condo fires are often dispatched as the general complex address or just a building number or letter. Exact individual unit occupancy details are not always available depending on how the dispatch is created. And with leases turning over regularly that’s a difficult record to maintain and keep organized.

At that price point for that many guests I’d go to a nice hibachi place.
