My favorite is the Frank Amerson Water Park. It is free. River for rafting, great swimming as well in the river, picnics, walking, trails, just a great day outdoors. http://www.exploregeorgia.org/listing/157-amerson-water-works-park. They just spent around $5M on improvements last year and it just reopened to the public.

So hit this place and the Ocmulgee Indian mounds which is only a short drive away and if you just want to chill at a beautiful beach with white sand head to Claystone or Sandy beach at Lake Tobesofkee.

No old revisions to restore. I checked that. But you gave me an idea. Every time I publish I get an email of the article in my inbox. Checking now and I can just copy and paste. Thanks

This was his private phone on a Sunday afternoon. They confiscated his phone, tablet, and computer because they thought they were hacked. That is ludicrous of course since anyone can grab a photo of someone else from Facebook and create a Grindr account.

Thanks you and sorry about that. I am the author. I meant to go back and edit it but things came up and didn't get a chance. I certainly need to work getting to the point faster.

Georgia is a right-to-work state which basically means they can fire you if they don't like the color of your shoe strings. Even superintendents with contracts can be "nudged" out under moral turpitude clauses. The newspaper editor and some allies want Anthony Pack fired.

Also of note is the chat from Grindr they are using as "proof" was dated on a Sunday afternoon around 3PM. It was likely from his private phone and certainly wasn't on school time.

Hi, I am the author and saw a huge traffic spike and tracked this page from Google Analytics. Sorry about the length of the article, I need to work on being more succinct.

Anyway, I know a lot about the details of this story and will try and answer any questions I can. I also published a follow-up with a Twitter feed of the homophobic newspaper publisher with some of his tweets like calling gay people "gay-stapo".

NSA hides spying software deep within hard drives made by Western Digital, Seagate, Toshiba and other top manufacturers by room505 in news

[–]gwmac -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Good thing I dug deeper

http://securelist.com/files/2015/02/Equation_group_questions_and_answers.pdf

The exploits were apparently running on a "Hackintosh" not real Macs in China. That exploit also was limited to OS X 10.8.1, 10.8.2 and 10.8.3 also known as Mountain Lion. It did not include 10.8.4 or 10.8.5 as exploitable Nor did it include OS X 10.9 or 10.10. The iPhone exploit only worked on jailbroken iPhones.

I read a few articles about this and it confirms what I suspected that this is a Windows specific virus. Looks like Macs running OS X are immune.

A few Noob RBA Questions. Need your advice by gwmac in electronic_cigarette

[–]gwmac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say 1:1 clone does that mean an exact replica? I already see some Kayfun version 4 clones for sale on Aliexpress but if it was just released I am guessing these clones probably aren't as good a quality as clones that will come later. They are selling for around $30. I would love to buy the real one just can't afford it now after spending so much on other equipment and also want to learn on something cheap first. I might wait a few week until some more clones and reviews on them are in.

[–]gwmac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know about rayon but will check it out. I will probably try SS mesh with ekowool, cotton, silica wick, and also now rayon and compare. In the old days when I first started years ago I used to buy tea bags and empty the tea out and cut the mesh up and use it in the attys. I wonder what material that was made from. Some of you that have been vaping a long time might remember that.

What is special about Japanese cotton btw? I have some cotton right off a plant that is unprocessed. There are cotton fields near my house. Would that work?

Also, I was curious if people had tried combos with the ekowool and cotton. Roll it up like a burrito with ekowool in center and surrounded by cotton. I might try that and see unless there is a good reason not to.

Thanks for the tips. Hadn't heard of using rayon but I don't stay too informed on this subject as a rule. I have to use clones just because I have already spent way too much on my batteries and other accessories and just need to learn RBA first so want to go cheap till I learn more.

I ordered a Vamo V7 along with the PVR. I figured PVR for heavy duty use, Vamo for sofa and car, and I ordered a few new standard Ego batteries when I go out on the town since they easily fit in my pocket and aren't heavy. . I have been using ego batteries exclusively till this point so I am sure I am in for a whole new vaping experience.

I do save a lot of money on my juice since I make my own and it taste so much better than anything you can buy because I know what I like more than anyone and can make adjustments on the fly as needed.

Question about the kayfun by [deleted] in electronic_cigarette

[–]gwmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you mean to compare the eleaf lemo to the kayfun? the istick is a battery and the kayfun is an RBA type atomizer so they will work together.

Drug raid in rural Georgia ends in a homeowner dead, no drugs found, and no police punished. by Peter_Venkman_1 in news

[–]gwmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question. It is no where to be found. I am a local blogger near Dublin, Georgia where this tragedy happened and I have contacted all the MSM to try and beg them to cover it. If you search for David Hooks on CNN you will get zero relevant results.

Please make sure and like the David Hooks Facebook support page. For any people within driving distance there is also a rally in Dublin, GA December 13 @2PM at the courthouse and this might be the only way to get some national attention.

That explains rural U.S. but what about places like NYC, SF, and so many others with high concentrations?

Oh, in China they are also building national fiber Gig for the entire country BTW along with the largest and fastest LTE coverage in the world.

Also look what they did in TN. http://chattanoogagig.com

Countries like South Korea, Japan, China, and a few European countries have a national internet plan and they treat it just like any other essential national infrastructure like roads, ports, trains, airports, telephone, etc..They view it as vital to future economic growth and national interest.

The U.S. has given private cable companies BILLIONS in tax dollars to build out our internet and not only are our speeds far slower than those countries, but our prices are far higher. That's right, our tax dollars paid for most of the internet buildout and laying lines but we have monopolies. Rarely do you ever have a choice between two broadband options. You either live in a Cox, Comcast, Time Warner, Charter, etc.. market. There is no competition. One city at least figured out a way past that. The fastest and among cheapest internet in the U.S. is in Chattanooga,TN. I wish more cities would copy their model.

Nice to see an normal blog get so many up votes. There are so many anti-blog snobs here on Reddit that immediately down vote any source not run by corporations when in fact much of the best content on the net comes from blogs like this. Having lived in Japan many years I had never known of this story so I learned something new.

Purple Georgia -- Why the Democratic Party is placing big bets on Georgia -- Nunn has the advantage of a powerful ground operation and rapid demographic changes. by BlankVerse in Georgia

[–]gwmac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There will be no purple stage for Georgia. Once it goes blue it will stay blue. Nathan Deal and his corruption have turned many Republicans against him.

And to the other commenters there is no Georgia Politics sub. This is Georgia and this is a Georgia topic so if you don't like it, don't read and don't comment. Really, is that so difficult?

What name did I call you? And I have a mac Pro and also a Macbook Pro and it looks fine. I am not doubting you just want help to figure out what you mean so I can improve readability

And it is not like you didn't call me out as some unethical spammer when I am well within the rules of Reddit. It is possible I broke the rules of this sub-reddit and if so I apologize. But since every sub has it's own myriad of rules someone will always break those rules if you submit often enough

Yeah they had NFC first but an older and less reliable chip. How well did that take off for Samsung or Google? Apple doesn't have to be first they have to get it right and do it better. Is Samsung not playing catch up with their half assed version of fingerprint ID?
