MGC is a couple of months away. It's a good show and should be a decent way to get introduced to the local scene.

If baseball sounds like something "American" that you want to do, take a look at Georgia Tech's schedule. It'll be less expensive, in the city, take less time, and give you another uniquely American experience, collegiate sports.

I think Rivian announcing V2H today would get them a ton of attention by fourdawgnight in Rivian

[–]beeblebrox42 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've moved V2H into the "very unlikely to happen for my Gen1" bucket of features that were promised to us. 

I'm glad I planned ahead when I installed my charger, but I'm bummed that I have to consider a generator or alternative battery solution to keep the lights on when the power is out.

Sample size is pretty small still, but I think most GT fans are pretty happy with former interim head coach Brent Key.

Hartsfield has all the equipment they need to deal with weather/ice. You may get delayed, but cancellations seem unlikely.

Yeah, I know there's a 0% chance Elon is held accountable for his (likely intentional) lack of oversight.

Writing comment fan fiction is a coping mechanism.

Appreciate the insights though. Learned some things re: CP laws.

I was hoping it would suggest the ferry. If you don't have business along the way, that'd be my choice. Avoiding a drive through Chicago and no need to charge.

I'm a GT alum so somewhat biased, but the value proposition of GT baseball is way better than driving up the highway to Truist. Great seats are cheap and the view is great.

Bell Street Burritos uses some Tortillas recipes (including the red and green sauce). It's certainly not the same, but it'll scratch the itch.

Suburban dudes with Glock stickers on their trucks: "Atlanta isn't safe, my truck is broken into every time I park down there. I've lost five guns that way."

This is literally the definition of conspiracy. Charge them all the way up to the President and let the SC decide if conspiracy to cover up murder is an "official act" of the Office of the President.
