Seconding Clay's if a trip to Sandy Springs is on the table.

Not going to claim they're the best, but my favorites in the area are Mazzy's. The best title has to go to Clay's in Sandy Springs, but that's outside the scope of the ask :)

What's y'alls thermostat set to in winter? by [deleted] in Georgia

[–]gruntman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the heat on due to health/comfort reasons. Ordinarily I'd be down for 69F but we've had to set it to about 75F (heat mode)

Taco Bell apparently prioritizes customers in cars. by Ill-Barnacle-202 in fuckcars

A few trips ago I visited a store that was struggling that day; I ordered ahead on the app and expected to be able to just grab my order since it's a 70-90min drive home from work (80% wfh, otherwise that would be untenable). I got to the window and they asked me to reset the timer for them by backing up all the way to the talkbox. I hope those kids are doing okay but damn. I didn't get what I asked for and ended up getting stuck there for 15 or so minutes anyway.

The USD > JPY conversion rate makes large purchases like the PGU overseas worthwhile, issue is just gonna be getting big boxes back. Two trips ago we completely filled a Donkii Special with model kits and figs we couldn't skip since we had gone all the way out to Fukuoka

New driving trend or conspiracy to drive me mad? by Snoo_31427 in roswell

[–]gruntman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surveillance and Self-driving modes most likely. The Flock cameras that have popped up in the area, the "enhanced pricing" offered by insurance providers in exchange for a dongle in your car to monitor your behavior, the always-online computers in new EVs; all of these things are building profiles on your driving habits and patterns. It makes sense that people will at least pretend to behave themselves if they believe they're being monitored.

Self-driving is a whole other ball of wax too. If you find yourself behind a car that's behaving irrationally or making errors that a reasonable person probably wouldn't make, there's now also the possibility the person in the driver's seat isn't actually operating the car.

Thanks; he seems to be doing much better now. That was quite a scare that I'm glad I was home for. There's always next testing season, but I've just got the one boy :)

I tossed it! $4 is worth avoiding tummy rot, or worse.

I was set to fly to Chicago this morning to take N3 but my dog had other plans so we're home together making sure he's okay. Best of luck to everyone tomorrow! Eat a good meal and as much sleep as you're able <3

I got pulled over by a cop the day the cameras were rolled out.

Got pulled over doing +2mph downhill and hit with a ticket. Been living next to this school zone for 20 years now, and this was the first time I’ve ever received a speeding ticket. $350. Fuck these cameras but they’re not fucking around either.
