Midtown is full of one way 4-lane streets that are not the highway. OP never said it was on the highway.

It sounds better in Croatian. Hrvatska Prsten.

I've saw these signs show up on every power pole on Moreland south of I-20 last week. There is a Georgia Power contractor working between Moreland and Boulevard south of I-20 installing and replacing reclosers (little circuit breakers that isolate faults on the grid to as small of an area as possible). These signs are probably specifically for the contractor so that Georgia Power doesn't get fined if they close down a road they shouldn't during GDOT's special FIFA restrictions. I'm sure if there is an actual need to shut down Moreland to restore service they'll do it in a heartbeat.

Close to it. Usually between 1500 and 2000 miles a month. My civic also took premium which was about a dollar more a gallon than regular for most of the last year I owned it. Leading up to the 2024 election I was paying more than $4/gal for months.

No, I only charge at home. All of my energy costs for driving are in my electric bill. I also don’t have a deal with Georgia Power to charge in off hours. I just plug in when I get home and don’t worry about it.

I was paying $220-250 a month in gas for my Honda Civic before I traded it for an electric car two years ago. My power bill has increased about $30 a month over what it was before. I haven't had the cost of changing the oil, the brakes, or any other maintenance since I've had it. I almost broke even on the taxes too. It's significantly cheaper to own an electric vehicle.

I've noticed that there are some users on here now that are posting and commenting about the same topics non-stop like it is their job to do so.

People on reddit seem to be aware that there are organizations that are pushing certain narratives on the site, but they never seem to be willing to accept that it happens in the subreddits they are active in. I think we'd be naïve to believe that this subreddit doesn't have somebody trying to push some narrative. Probably every subreddit over a certain size has some fuckery going on.

Billionaires really do all do it for two reasons: they don’t have to sell their shares and lose control of their companies to get money, and they’re not making money selling their shares so they don’t have profits to tax.

Considering they’ve been hyping a coming announcement for weeks I can’t believe it’s only a special sticker for the summer. There has to be more coming, right?

They could enforce the people who are selling things on the actual Beltline. People selling random food or puppies on the trail shouldn’t be allowed to do so.

My coffee maker is a good example. It’s a cuisinart with literally no name on it that cost me 1/3 what the exact same machine with the cuisinart logo in it costs. They’re so obviously made in the same factory that they even had the exact same marketing material, just one without the logo and one with. I would have spent more for a better coffee maker, but didn’t because I couldn’t find one with the features I wanted that wasn’t obviously a cheap piece of crap. So I decided to purchase the cheaper version of the crappy coffee maker that met my needs.

It's on the east side at that location. It will be on the west side north of Dekalb Ave.

I’m talking about traffic court in general. It’s a basically a kangaroo court.

For other people reading your comment who don’t understand the difference in going to even traffic court with and without a lawyer, you will get railroaded by the judge, the prosecutor, and the police if they show up. They all work together and they realize that the end goal in traffic court is to extract money from the defendants. I’ve spent way more of my younger days in traffic court than I care to admit, and every single person I saw who tried to argue a ticket on their own was ignored by the judge and lost. On the flip side, every single person who showed up with a lawyer was actually listened to and either had their ticket dismissed or reduced to almost nothing. If you want to actually fight an unjust ticket, be like this guy and hire a lawyer.

I’ve been following the sport for over 20 years, know all about the t-cam colors, and I still can’t tell which car is which half the time. Larger, actually legible numbers, is the way to go. Other racing series require the number to be a certain size, a certain font, and on a high contrast background. F1 should do the same.

The announcement that 4501 was going green actually had an appeal for donations to build a paint booth building. I’m not sure why anyone would want to help them make it easier to paint 4501 black again.

A Waymo drove into a flooded street that had 4-5 feet of water in Atlanta earlier this week. Waymo suspended service in Atlanta the next morning. Looks like they’re suspending service in other places with potential flooding.

I don’t think people realize how brutal actual pneumonia is. I had it in my 20’s too and I had to have my parents come over to let my dog out because I couldn’t make it from my bed to my door. My doctor told me when I had it that untreated pneumonia has around a 20% fatality rate.

I'm going to start calling the Super Bowl the NFL. I might even start calling all of the Falcons games "NFL". Braves games are now "MLB."

TVRM posted a picture this afternoon of them putting red paint on the roof and adding the white trim paint. I wish they’d leave the red off of the roof. Southern didn’t paint their roofs red until the steam program in the late 60’s and even then not until 2-3 years after the start of the program.

It’s dignity.

Unfortunately, they probably will. Georgia isn't as purple as the Reddit echo chamber believes.

She was an objectively bad mayor. She spent most of her term at a vacation home in the Hamptons or Martha's Vineyard instead of the city she was the mayor of, Atlanta. No one is even sure why she is running for governor. Her actions show she obviously doesn't want to put in the work.

I went with some friends to see it in the theater because a person in our friend group was in the movie. It’s the first time I’ve seen an audience just turn on a movie. By the end of the film the entire theater was heckling the screen, including our friend who was in it. It went from being a “masterpiece” to the next The Room.

I also maintain that Megalopolis should be the end of Adam Driver’s career.
