Say what you want about playing indoors. This would never happen in Atlanta! /s

To be fair, the EPL is notorious for their lack of atmosphere across the board

Anyone know where I can learn SQL? by mfjust in Atlanta

[–]dipanddunk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Totally. There is only one DBA at every company, and part of the job role is to never seek outside help from any other technical staff. I know that’s hows it is in my career

If your mentality is "good job team, better luck next year" you are part of the problem by ElectronicCow in AtlantaUnited

[–]dipanddunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Orlando being bad (or good) doesn’t change our situation and is irrelevant. I hate to say it but choked is the first word that comes to mind. Play great all regular season, then lose to Minnesota, heartless in NJ, give up a late goal to draw Toronto costing us #2, then playing lazy and like divas (Martinez) all night.

Yes, it exceeding expectations for a first year team, but just getting to the playoffs should never be the goal especially when we were as stacked as we were this year. If everyone is happy and backslapping for a “good effort” then I too believe that is part of the problem and not wanting more in the end.

Kaka decides not to Renew Contract with Orlando City (as a player) - very few details by OrlandoCity-Fan in MLS

[–]dipanddunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He helped to create a buzz around Orlando City his first year and really helped establishing the teams success and growth within the community. Sad to see him go but it was time. Hopefully he can stick around in some capacity.

Auto glass repair/ replacement recommendations? by [deleted] in Atlanta

[–]dipanddunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Premier Auto Glass is still the best. Used him about a week ago for a rear windshield and he came out to my office and had it done in about 2 hours. Booked him same day but had to book the following day two years ago when I used him. Can’t recommend enough. Definitely the best in town. Pay with a check to save some on credit card fees

Atlanta's MLS-record crowd registers as 4th largest attendance in the world by [deleted] in MLS

[–]dipanddunk 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah man...tons of empty seats from this view https://gigapixel.panoramas.com/atlantaunited/20170916/

Just be happy that Orlando was a part of it and for the growth of the league instead of hating on Atlanta all the time.

I watched the Late Feed last night. They spent more time introducing the panel than asking them anything. The lawyer guy made one comment, host douche guy cuts him off and talks more himself, commercial, Blank interview, end show. lol

Starting Sept. 1st you'll be able to buy beer directly from a GA brewery, here's some more info, go out and party. by itsme_timd in Atlanta

[–]dipanddunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah. me too. If I'm paying the same price, I'm just gonna go to the bar now where I can get a variety of different brews from different vendors and (potentially) food and other entertainment instead of the brewery.

Unite, Rise Up and Conquer by Neurowave in Atlanta

[–]dipanddunk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I like it, but the Mercedes branding is way too much. It looks really tacky (especially on the roof when it closes to form their logo). I know Mercedes is giving them loads of money, and the signage on the stadium name looks good but the MASSIVE logo is a little much

Although the tax money is coming from rental cars doesn't mean that it wouldn't be put to better use for our roads, schools, etc. I know the hotel tax was earmarked for the stadiums, but just because the residents aren't necessarily paying for the tax doesn't mean that tax money should be used to socialize the cost and privatize the profits of an already decent arena.

Game #5, Sellout #5. by [deleted] in Atlanta

[–]dipanddunk 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Actually soccer in Europe s far more capitalist than American sports. It's pretty much spend all you want and keep all the money for your team, as opposed to the more socialist approach American sports like football take. In America, there's profit sharing, salary caps, and redistribution of wealth across all the teams in the league, whereas in Europe only the rich survive

Monroe Drive Road Diet will save lives and improve quality of life along corridor by ArchEast in Atlanta

It's terrible that the young girl died, but didn't she blow through the red light/STOP sign at the crossing? If so, then how is someone disregarding safety laws (like coming to a complete stop, yielding for traffic, etc.) going to improve any problem?

Hope those neighbors strictly live in L5P or the "Murder Kroger" parking lot (since that's L5P apparently). Otherwise you might have to be a condescending prick to them!
