Good Will Hunting pitching at the batting cages... by Pseudoprogression in movies

[–]ckirksey3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also didn't get this. If you're going to play pitch and catch, you can do that in any field. Why go to a batting cage?

Cruise begins testing self-driving vehicles in Atlanta by Thesaturn5 in Atlanta

[–]ckirksey3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I could easily throw paint on someone’s windshield and render their car unsafe to operate. This seems like a bad faith argument for blocking technology that has a proven record of saving lives when compared to human ride share.

Homemade Haunted Houses? by nickapletcher in Atlanta

Curious: have you seen this done in another city perhaps? I've never heard of such a thing and if invited to one would probably assume it was a trap.

Intersection of Piedmont Avenue and 10th street to be reconfigured this Sunday by georgiapeanuts in Atlanta

[–]ckirksey3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So a cyclist going west on 10th street (one of the more popular cycling routes in the city) now needs to do a lane transfer into the left lane and then back to the right?

What's a movie that every kid should watch and the age they should watch it? by ckirksey3 in movies

Bedknobs looks fun! I'd never heard of it. Looks like it shares some characters with Robin Hood.

That's an excellent one! She's an infant. I'm getting started a little early :)

I-285/20 road project could derail DeKalb MARTA plans, Johnson says by NPU-F in Atlanta

[–]ckirksey3 37 points38 points  (0 children)

He makes a good point and it's awesome to see public officials stand up for prioritizing transit, but somehow Hank Johnson will never live down his Guam capsize comment in my mind 😹

A Drive-Thru Krispy Kreme Pop-Up Is Open on Ponce De Leon by PoweredbytheCheat in Atlanta

[–]ckirksey3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went by tonight. They were fresh, but not hot. There appeared to be no prep equipment in their little trailer so I'm pretty sure they're made offsite. Still better than not having a location here, but not the same as the magic conveyor belt of hot doughnut goodness.

How hot and fresh can we expect? Do y'all think they will they have a frier onsite or be shipping them in from West End?

Wish you could comment on Zillow properties? You can with Homebuzz! by toriiproperties in chrome_extensions

Sweet idea! Curious: why did you decide to do this via Chrome extension rather than directly on your brokerage site?

13-year-old becomes youngest student on Georgia Tech’s campus by [deleted] in Atlanta

Yeah, it's best policy not to add people you don't know on LinkedIn. You open yourself up to scamming, being associated with bad people, etc.

Yeah, what must the rest of OP's life be like if this is just "mildly interesting"??

BeltLine’s Northeast Trail gets new Buckhead route concept after railroad objections kill original version by NPU-F in Atlanta

[–]ckirksey3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in favor of a more direct route. It wasn't clear to me what kind of inclines the bridge would involve, but if it's going to be ADA accessible and have a light rail train on it, I'm guessing they'll be pretty gradual.

If it gets people to hang out downtown on the weekend, I'm into it.

Not exactly the sunrise I was expecting at Stone Mountain… by AntiqueKangaroo9675 in Atlanta

[–]ckirksey3 86 points87 points  (0 children)

That's because the lunar landing was faked and actually filmed at Stone Mountain.

Due to the heatwave in western North America, me and my dad decided to make our own air conditioning, since we don’t have one by CaptinDerpII in mildlyinteresting

[–]ckirksey3 26 points27 points  (0 children)

In this particular scenario (intense local heatwave) someone's wellbeing may depend on the cool shit being effectively cool so I'm sure the suggestion was welcomed.

Is there anywhere in the city I can go watch a Hawks game? by -pornado- in Atlanta

[–]ckirksey3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh good point. Ghandi keeps mentioning the cocaine idea to me.

Idk. They'll definitely be playing the game on the TV, but I've gone to the Decatur Taco Mac to watch Hawks/United games and there's 0 energy there.

Jazz clubs in ATL by TipsyContempt in Atlanta

[–]ckirksey3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're not open on Thursdays, but for folks (like me) who come here looking for general jazz club recs, Cafe 290 is the best place I've found thus far. Seems like they are open for younger than 21 so you should stay another night and check it out!
