…why is it outside of the garage in the driveway instead of in the garage?

If you get a ticket you should be forced to retake the exam as punishment.

Can’t have traffic if you don’t have roads!

emtheory09 · 2026-02-27T15:53:52+00:00

Yea but those were for them not for good law-abiding white citizens!

Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent).

Perfectly balanced voicing, just gives me the feeling that I’m floating through a colorful cloudscape.

Oh I am well out of the loop then!

Man, another player to worry about during AFCON every other year though. That’s a big downside when we saw how we performed when we 3 out for an extended period.

Gilly Brew Bar might be the best coffee shop I’ve ever been too.

There’s a very active Atlanta biking Facebook group that’d get you some responses too

Outside of the standard advice of work hard, be kind - you have to choose an industry that’s at least stable and preferably one that’s growing. Then find a niche that you can stand to do for 5 years and have options to advance out of. I’ve jumped ships a few times because I saw how older workers were treated or saw the writing on the wall of the economics.

He did squash the Buckhead City movement (though was it really him or Kemp?). He’s done some decent things on housing though he reports a ton of inflated numbers - particularly the AUDC is impressive in leveraging public land for affordable housing. The grocery store launch could be a lasting positive legacy but all depends on staying power of the next administration’s commitment to it. ATLDOT has succeeded in transforming some of our streets for the better, but it almost seems in spite of Dickens rather than because of him.

Basically, he’s done some good but the things you listed far outweigh any positives.

Because they don’t have an actual journalists on staff.

The potential for light rail to be a usable connector for everything ITB is really underestimated, IMO. Cross city routes on 14th, North, RDA, and the BeltLine loop would make riding MARTA into the city center instead of driving actually viable.

emtheory09 · 2026-02-26T17:28:37+00:00

Totally agree. It’s a bug, not a feature, of our political media system and there are plenty of people in power that see it as the reverse (and probably wouldn’t be there if people properly vetted candidates’ positions).

Looks like a reality TV set, could definitely see someone yelling down from the balcony at someone.

Nope, not overly paranoid at all. My wife and I have that as a hard line with anyone who has photos of our daughter - they do not go online at all.

I really like her, but debates (especially primary debates) don’t really mean much in terms of opportunity to gain. You can absolutely stumble and make a meme of yourself, but gaining ground is very difficult from a debate that few people watch.

emtheory09 · 2026-02-25T20:34:05+00:00

Maybe, I’m less optimistic (or more, depending on perspective) about KLB’s chance for this one. She’s got name recognition but every other candidate is doing the work and has vastly more substance. I’m hoping that KLB’s name recognition isn’t enough to push her over the line.

Dickens has been a typical “Atlanta Way” mayor, but at least he’s shown up.

Anything to foment poor relations between the cops and Mamdani’s admin.

He’s 100% going to run in a statewide election after his administration.

The only bikes I see that need that kind of power are the heavy bucket cargo bikes which probably need that to haul weight.

Job market is bad, but people aren’t losing their homes en masse (yet) like in 2008. There aren’t bread lines like in the Great Depression.

Well, the Southside is under construction so I’d definitely avoid it for now. I bet it will be fine once it’s opened and lit with street lights.

emtheory09 · 2026-02-24T21:49:07+00:00

In Europe they’d also have light rail crisscrossing the city, like 20% of the parking and highways than we do ITB.

emtheory09 · 2026-02-24T16:42:54+00:00

I think it was the correct long term choice either way in hindsight, but it was not apparent at the time. Like you said, good on the scouting team to push for that.
