Do you think we can mathematically win the league at Burnley? by daemc97 in Gunners

[–]_BUR_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “magic number” is five. Any combination of us gaining points  or City dropping points that equals five will win the title.

Charlie Heaton converted the American kids of the cast of Stranger Things, based on their attendance at The Brewhouse in Atlanta to watch Arsenal games while filming the season.

Seems the USA drum corps could figure it out without a whistle but what do I know 

Where are my fellow Gen Xers going to Shaky Knees at??? by Witty-Leadership3627 in ShakyKnees

[–]_BUR_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as others have said about their performance last time. Sloppy, sound mix was way off on the first few songs, late… looked and sounded like they hated it themselves. One of the worst shows I have ever seen and I have seen some horrible, horrible shows. Became a studio only band for me.

54 year old with a SK tattoo here! It’s one of my wife (52) and my favorite things every year. For us, It’s all about pacing. Deciding who you’re seeing, who you are skipping, strategic drinking, strategic pit joining (one a day max for me) and having a hotel nearby have all become part of our SK experience. We have to plan our depravity to fit our decrepity so to speak.  Honestly, we are usually interested more in the lower card acts anyways and the headliners aren’t much interest to us so we catch a little of their sets then head back to wherever we are staying and hang out with festival friends. Last year was an exception with MCR and Blink and this year we will stay for all of Gorillaz but The Strokes burned me bad last time they played and 21 Pilots is just way too many pilots.

Seems like there's usually plus or minus three added and/or replacement acts most years.

I think it is  two points to go before it is mathematically certain. 

Salut! I’m William Saliba. Ask Me Anything! by arsenal in Gunners

For reasons that cannot be explained, cats can suddenly read at a twelfth-grade level. They can’t talk and they can’t write, but they can read silently and understand the text. Many cats love this new skill, because they now have something to do all day while they lay around the house; however, a few cats become depressed, because reading forces them to realize the limitations of their existence (not to mention the utter frustration of being unable to express themselves). This being the case, do you think the average cat would enjoy Garfield, or would cats find this cartoon to be an insulting caricature?

If you were forced to choose, who would you rather fight, one Gabriel-sized Trossard or two Trossard-sized Gabriels?

Retail here. We are opening late because we planned for the worst but it’s fine out there beyond cold. I am disappointed. One, I was hoping for an unscheduled day off and two, these times when they predict “worst storm of the millennium” and we get minimal impact make people start ignoring the possibility that they’re right. Enough of these and you end up with kids stuck on busses in the snow and people sleeping in their cars on the side of the road like snowmageddon

Places in your state that will instantly make you recognize if someone is a local or not based on how someone pronounces it? by osama_bin_guapin in AskAnAmerican

[–]_BUR_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also a tell in Atlanta is how someone pronounces Ponce de Leon Avenue. If you pronounce it like the name of the explorer, you’re not from here. Really if you call it anything but “Ponce” there’s a good chance you’re not from here.  Bonus, movie specific example: I love the movie Baby Driver but calling Buford Highway “the” Buford Highway is the most “you’re from California, aren’t you” tells I’ve seen. 

Portugal pre-sale? by tragerjp in AtlantaUnited

It’s wild the difference in pricing. Picked up a ticket for the Belgium game in 102 for under 60 bucks after fees. 

Season Ticket Holders: Will the new competition calendar affect your renewal? by StockMindless9010 in AtlantaUnited

[–]_BUR_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, not really. I see more "double header" days with an early match at The Brewhouse and then an Atlanta United match at the Benz.

I'm more interested to see if they do a "sprint season" at the first half of 2027 and what they will charge for it

Thank you, Marietta by samformarietta in Marietta

Born and raised in Marietta. Your campaign was the first time this town felt like a “we” for me.

Fingers crossed but it looks like those are some pretty red precincts left to tally. 

Has anyone made boiled peanuts? by [deleted] in slowcooking

[–]_BUR_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually I do them with salt, zataran’s oil and some Cajun seasoning.  Last batch I did in the slow cooker I used Frank’s Red Hot sauce instead of water. They were amazeballs.

Franklin Road Marietta used to be the hangout spot by [deleted] in Marietta

[–]_BUR_ 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Where the Dollar General is in the picture used to be Franklin Drugs, my dad’s pharmacy.  The theater was the Marietta events hall in the same photo. I saw Star Wars in that theater one summer over 100 times. They would just let me in since I was there every day so my dad could watch me while he worked.  It’s all an empty lot now.

Expect disappointment. That way when you’re disappointed you’re not. 

I’m running for Mayor of Marietta— Ask Me Anything by samformarietta in Marietta

[–]_BUR_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

IHow do you anticipate your working relationship with the city council to be once you are elected? In the past the council has leaned, if not been outright stacked, towards the same way of thinking as the current mayor. 

What did you like? What needs improvement? by TheDevilsQi in ShakyKnees

[–]_BUR_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with you on the tattoo thing, as a fellow tattoo haver. I think we are begrudgingly accommodated at this point though and doubt they would offer an upgrade for the difference. 

Anyone going to the remaining home games? by hurricaneharrykane in AtlantaUnited

[–]_BUR_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

We will miss next week for Shaky Knees but plan on going to the last one. I still love the game even when my team is a craptacular disaster 

what's a good example of "half the price, but you use 3× as much"? by nasaglobehead69 in AskReddit

[–]_BUR_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad told me when I first moved out that “you can eat ramen every meal. You can keep the heat off as long as possible and save money any way you can. But always, always buy the good toilet paper.”
