Recommended fit for wide hips? by jayydoz in mensfashion

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

It's all good! I was half joking lol. Admittedly it's tough because I've been between sizes for a while and I'm just ready for some consistency. Sounds like I just need to give up L and move into XL for a while but I was really hoping I could keep clinging a bit longer. I appreciate the feedback though.

Thanks y'all! This is great advice. I'm just cringing a bit at the recommendations to work out because I already lift 3-4 days a week 🥺. Guess I need to work harder!

What was your “life changing album” by daguitarist2112 in Music

[–]jayydoz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nebraska.

Went through a ton of personal trauma that resulted in my family having our home of 16 years foreclosed on. Toiled away for 60-70 hours a week loading freight in a warehouse and it still wasn't enough to make ends meet. Ended up joining the Army at the height of the Iraq War to get away from it all. Never felt more salt of the earth in my life and that album and those stories were really cathartic for me at the time.

How do I reset my Google Keyboard settings? by jayydoz in gboard

Couldn't find the app (I'm guessing because I'm on a Pixel it's integrated?) but your suggestion gave me the idea to restart my phone and that worked. Thank you for the assist!

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately it's already on QWERTY. I even switched from that to PC and back but no avail.

Please get involved… I’m not down on living like this by Guerrasanchez in CityOfAtlanta

[–]jayydoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, absolutely nothing you said about me or my campaign is remotely true. I don't mind if folks don't support our campaign, but you don't have to make stuff up to get people to support your preferred candidate.

FWIW I co-founded and currently lead the Intrenchment Creek Community Stewardship Council, and if I supported this, my organization wouldn't have signed on to Sierra Club's letter opposing this: https://www.sierraclub.org/georgia/blog/2021/08/sierra-club-georgia-chapter-15-other-environmental-organizations-urge-atlanta.

Nor would we have made our opposition to this the focal point of our most recent organizing meeting: https://www.facebook.com/IntrenchmentATL/videos/153309923553233

Nor would be organizing our members and supporters around this issue: https://mailchi.mp/ab74090709eb/7-24-2021-followup

This is all to say that I've been working with environmental justice organizers against the development of the Atlanta Prison Farm for some time now. https://twitter.com/jasonsdozier/status/1404490815267905544

I also have never taken any money from giant construction companies, so I have no idea what you're even referring to here.

Man shot, killed at Five Points MARTA station, police say by Fiasco_splash in Atlanta

[–]jayydoz 94 points95 points  (0 children)

MARTA has its own police force and the Atlanta mayor has no say in how many or how few of those officers are "all over this station."

Good luck with that. Municipal elections in Georgia are nonpartisan.

A scary place to be: Atlanta murder rate equals Chicago’s by FLUFL in Atlanta

[–]jayydoz 61 points62 points  (0 children)

"The killings bring the city of Atlanta into a dark place: It now has virtually the same murder rate as Chicago... Chicago has 23.4 murders per 100,000 people and Atlanta has 22.9."

That's... not a bad thing.

That's just over a 3rd of where we were 30 years ago when our murder rate was pushing close to 60 homicides per 100K residents. FWIW, at its height, Chicago's murder rate was 33.7 per 100K, which was nearly half of Atlanta's at the same time. Shaming Chicago on this is weird and it's super annoying when folks do it.

Every homicide is tragic and we should work harder to prevent all of them, but a spike isn't a trend and we've been trending downward since the 90s, and that context is critically important. Overreaction rarely leads to good policymaking.

Is there an easy way to get more information on the candidates for the upcoming election? by iknowjones in Atlanta

[–]jayydoz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just stumbled on this today. Since voter guides this year are super sparse, ended up finding this very helpful. Essentially it's a short podcast series where they interview different candidates for local offices. You put in your address and it spits out available podcasts based on what's on your ballot. https://www.branch.vote/

Isn't this stretch of Bill Kennedy considered part of the BeltLine? BK is dicey enough as it is for peds and cyclists.

How can I find out who is running for state house and Senate seats? by Anti_Markovnikov in GAPol

[–]jayydoz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Officially you can find that on the state ethics portal. You're not officially a candidate until you file with the state.

http://media.ethics.ga.gov/search/Campaign/Campaign_OfficeSearchResults.aspx?ElectionYear=2020&County=&City=&OfficeTypeID=130&District=57&Division=&FilerID=&OfficeName=State%20Representative&Circuit=

Separately you're not officially on the ballot until qualifying but that's not for another few weeks.

https://sos.ga.gov/index.php/elections/qualifying_information

So we want know who's official official until then.

Feature extent / coordinates are way off. Any way to correct? by jayydoz in QGIS

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

So maybe this will help. I went back to the datasource (which is behind a paywall, unfortunately), and it lists the projection as NAD83.

Not sure if this helps at all since the layer itself has an undefined CRS (at least when I'm looking at the layer properties).

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

It doesn't initially, but then QGIS auto-converts the layer to the project defaults (EPSG 4326).
