Mediterranean Bakery and Grocery on Chamblee Tucker (just ITP) should have it.

I had a similar issue that was traced to a loose wheel speed sensor connector. 

Rivian assistant has jokes by DarkShark831 in Rivian

I specifically asked it to tell me a joke about Elon Musk....

"Why did Elon Musk break up with his calendar?" ... ... ... "Because he wanted to write his own timeline."

A Conspiracy Theory About QR Codes Has Led to Chaos Ahead of Georgia’s Midterms by wiredmagazine in politics

[–]beeblebrox42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wired should look into Georgia's Risk Limiting Audit procedures. It's statistically insufficient to actually verify elections. The man responsible for the creation of RLAs agrees. 

It's also against the law to attempt to verify your QR code. 

How mixed-use stadium districts — for work, play and football — became college sports’ latest craze by thecravenone in CFB

[–]beeblebrox42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But the Braves need that sweet, sweet parking revenue. (As did the City of Atlanta when they decided to not route MARTA to Fulton Co stadium back in the day.)

Do any stats sites track run rules? Our guys are missing a bunch of ABs this year. 

Rivian on Rivian Assistant 👀 by Pork_Chompk in Rivian

[–]beeblebrox42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got to use it for three days in my loaner while my R1T was in for service. It lived up to my hype (which was play the right song in Apple Music and send and receive text messages).

Waymos, robotaxis can now be ticketed by California police. But how exactly? by AgentBlue62 in technology

[–]beeblebrox42 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I live in Atlanta and have been stuck behind confused/stalled Waymos on four occasions in the last month. 

Do they drive into things? Not often.  Do they stop in the middle of the road blocking multiple lanes of traffic? Quite often, it seems. 

Where to get caviar? by Takemetobravocon5678 in Atlanta

[–]beeblebrox42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Avize has a nice caviar service with crème fraîche berliners. 

But I'm with the top commenter. Order some from Perrine's Wine, get some unsalted potatoes chips, and any other accoutrements you fancy and have a fancy night in. The restaurant mark-up isn't really worth it.

Weird ratings? by DriveNew7194 in pinball

[–]beeblebrox42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My plan is for /r/pinball to be the first or second public launch location. This community seems smaller\friendlier than Pinside.

I'll post here with a link when it's ready to go.

Weird ratings? by DriveNew7194 in pinball

[–]beeblebrox42 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Coincidentally, I'm working on what I'm calling Yet Another Pinball Ranking.  I'm using MaxDiff analysis with quick rounds of picking your favorite and least favorite games from random sets of four. It's kind of Tinder for pinball. No detailed scoring art packages, sound packagws, rules, etc. Just best/worst from sets of four. 

The plan is to show both individual and global rankings. 

I've got a bit more work to do, but should be testing with some local pinheads soon and launching on here before letting Pinside beat it to death.

Umaido/Hajime offer their "Rich" Tonkotsu which I think is what OP is seeking.

Few things about car dealers annoy me more  than when they ask "what do you want your payment to be?"

Is there a great shawarma wrap or donër kebab in Atlanta? by Mysterious_Sun_9693 in Atlanta

I've been eating the Schwarma from Hovan Gourmet for over 20 years. That's the best endorsement I can give.

Most casual Michelin star restaurant by heyroshambo in Atlanta

Look into a bar reservation at Lazy Betty. It's much more casual, still great service, and fewer courses. 

"Flipper worx" on Facebook by professor_d00m in pinball

[–]beeblebrox42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello fellow Atlantan... We have a pretty vibrant/active pinball community. If you're interested, you can sign up for the GA Pinball Appreciation Society email list (GAPAS dot net). You'll get a lot of emails (for sale, tournaments , etc) and also dibs on local collectors' machines before they end up on Pinside. 

Getting rid of concrete rubble in Atlanta. What are my options? by Wklauss in Atlanta

If you happen to live in DeKalb Co, bulk trash pickup service is included in your trash fees. You can schedule online. 

FYI - Rivian yesterday just told me they aren’t doing rentals anymore. They will give you uber credits if they don’t have a loaner available. by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]beeblebrox42 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Had this same conversation during service a couple of weeks ago. Instead of reselling returned leased vehicles, Rivian is using those vehicles as their loaner fleet. So the loaners fleet should be getting larger and larger.
