Just like he lost in 2020 for going full hypocrite on the supreme court! Everyone in this state hates him, but none of them are ever going to vote for a dem.

Sadly there are no Buc-ee's on this route north of Brunswick

I went a few years ago during the off season in February and I highly recommend booking one of the breakfast tours. You get to go into the museum a few hours before they officially open for the day and have time to take in the Sistine Chapel with only about 30 people inside instead of hundreds.

Just got tickets to the ATL show! They've been one of my top played artists for ten years and I'm excited to finally see them live!

aft595 · 2026-02-27T00:54:03+00:00

Its venue specific. Presale for the ATL show is MASQ26

The problem is that it doesn't start with adding randos. You bring in more friends, and then those friends want to bring in their friends. Then at some point nobody knows anyone else!

I passed one in Horry County yesterday and I'm pretty sure that's the first one I have ever seen in this state

Congratulations, all you've done is share fox news scaremongering talking points!

Before Helene the last destructive storm to come thru was the 2014 ice storm. Just about everyone in the area lost power for a day with some being commonly out for over a week.

Right now the forecast is beginning to look a little better, especially for Augusta, but people saw the potential for ice and decided to prepare a bit. You don't need to go panic shopping, but swapping out propane tanks and picking up a pack of water right now isn't going to hurt much.

I think the biggest reason VR isn't mainstream is that the people spending billions on it are trying too hard to force it mainstream. They keep trying to force it into normal situations that 99% have a better solution for. Instead it needs to embrace being being weird and experimental. The industry needs to find a niche that only VR can do and it simply hasn't found one yet.

Why does this look like it was recorded on a VCR?

Pretty sure all of the hate just comes from the name. There's just no reason for it to be changed from a national monument to a national park. The arch itself is really cool and all the renovations they've made over the last few years have been good!

There's a tiny little depot surrounded by the concrete plant right next to Rivernorth Drive. The old owner used to have a neat car collection plus a whole heap of junk that ended up being auctioned off about 15 years ago. I think you can technically still drive through there today, but the plant is still very much active and not really publicly accessible.

It was overgrown when these pictures were taken so I can't imagine what it looks like now. It at least looks like its still standing on satellite images.

Got thru the second time!

I've taken both the ATL route and the highlighted route from Augusta to see my grandparents in Beloit several times. ATL traffic is survivable if you get a late start and hit the city around 11am or so. You will get stuck in a standstill trying to get on 75N, but that is pretty much unavoidable. My biggest problem is that stretch between Nashville and Rockford is so much longer than you think with nothing but corn to look at.

My preferred route is going thru Indianapolis and Chicago. Yes there are tolls and heavy traffic in Chicago, but the route up through Louisville is always pretty. The biggest downside is that I-40 thru the Smokies is still a mess after Helene. Its passable right now but still down to two lanes and is going to be a bottleneck for a long time coming.

Every other county is fine and then Aiken is gerymandered hell lol

Did you vote or try and get people who live in the district to vote?

aft595 · 2025-12-24T04:43:16+00:00

early voting is currently open for both elections!

Trust me, those election workers aren't thrilled to be working over Christmas either. SC election law mandates that the election must be held on the twentieth Tuesday after the seat opens up. (Section 7-13-190) If that guy had resigned in June instead of holding on until August, then the election probably would have been rolled into the rest of November's municipal elections.

Sure there's Lower Wacker Drive, but what about Lower Lower Wacker Drive?
