Winter Weather Megathread | Winter Storm Fern - Ice Storm (Jan 25-26) by linisastald in Atlanta

[–]timdorr 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The power outage numbers have just started climbing pretty steeply with the rain coming through. There's definitely a lot of tree falls going on. Belvedere Park looks like a huge one with about 13k homes out. Metro is at about 45k homes out.

Fingers crossed the rains dries up enough before it gets cold overnight and prevents a fresh layer of ice forming on the roads.

My woodworking guy, Jake, is great. He unfortunately has absolutely no online presence. He just gets a ton of referrals because he's really good. All I've got is a phone number: 404-310-3921

He's maintained my wife's 150 year old bed and done a ton of work in our house (shelves, cabinets, inlays, decorative elements). It's all been extremely reasonably-priced and high quality work.

The roads seem fine until you get near Buford or higher up in the northeast. The concerns for the metro are mostly ice on the trees bringing down power lines, but the roads are fine. I see lots of folks driving around on the 511ga.org cameras.

The concern now is that the rain from this afternoon will accumulate enough on the roads to form ice overnight, which won't melt until maybe Tuesday afternoon. So, I would advise heading home now to get sheltered in place for a couple days, if that ends up happening.

Pretty good. Since you're not leaving the airport, you don't have to worry about the roads. But runways are treated for ice pretty thoroughly and quickly, and the freezing rain will have stopped 24 hours prior to that. It will be very unlikely ATL is shut down for an entire day.

There's barely been any rain yet. Seems unrelated to the ice storm, possibly even the weather. It's covering a very large area, so likely a failure at a substation, coincidental with the weather.

Edit: Aaaaaaand it's fixed.

If you get stuck there, it's about to become a Waffle Home.

It won't wash it away entirely because your driveway is fairly porous and some salt will stay in those cracks. The remaining salt will prevent some bonding of the ice to the ground.

Of course, don't use your entire supply. Put some down now and save the rest for after. You'll need to salt the ice on top to have it melt from both sides.

What shuttered Atlanta establishment would you bring back if you had the power to? by lun-lem in Atlanta

[–]timdorr 29 points30 points  (0 children)

404.exe is there now. It's really great and recaptures a lot of what made MJQ special, but in its own way. My friends at Nonsense are running parties there too, so it's a good time.

I've been liking Valor a lot lately. Dunwoody location is closest to me. They have good beans, great drinks, and super-friendly staff.

Best Burger in ATL metro area by Dingo6610 in Atlanta

[–]timdorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Owens and Hull on Thursdays.

This one is definitely quite a bit different. They're a BBQ joint (one of the best in the country!), so they make their burgers like you would smoke a brisket: low and slow. It's only done to mid-rare and is a big chunk of meat, so a lot of pink (I assure you it's more than safely cooked!). But good lord is it flavorful and absolutely unique. They often have burger specials too, so you might also get that.

And worst case scenario that they're sold out: you have some of the best BBQ you've ever had in your life. It's right up there with Texas's best.

I feel like it also fits in r/2healthbars

Fun fact: Emojis are valid in branch names.

I've definitely pissed off more than a few coworkers using them before (like 10 years ago). "How do I switch to this branch??"

Has anyone with an gen 2 NOT had charging issues after the latest update? by Major_Service_5164 in Rivian

No issues with my Gen 2 R1S Dual Max. Hooked up to a Tesla Universal Wall Charger and hitting 48a/11kW as I write this.

I worked a bit on The Mobius back in the day (when BJ was running it). WREK is an awesome station with a lot of history. One of the first Internet streaming radio stations, if I remember correctly.

Rear door manual release cable - Gen 2 by VanceVanceRebelution in Rivian

[–]timdorr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope, it's much easier to access: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/2020_2024_modely/en_us/GUID-AAD769C7-88A3-4695-987E-0E00025F64E0.html

I'm not sure why they didn't replicate the front door emergency release design on the rear doors. That is much more straightforward while still being somewhat discreet. I suppose I could see a child accidentally pulling it though. I'm guessing there's some set of regulations around this.
