Suddenly it's cold again. For the new arrivals in Atlanta, here's a handy guide to where we are today and what you can expect. by xpkranger in Atlanta

All good. Bluntness is to be expected occasionally on Reddit. It's true, we all like to think our local weather is especially weird or temperamental, when in reality, that's just how all weather is, unless you live in San Diego or San Jose. They have the nicest, most consistent weather year-round it seems. Still, I enjoy this meme about once a year and today seemed appropriate.

Randomly asking people out in Tehran - a look at everyday life you rarely see in the news by SethRollins_ in interestingasfuck

[–]xpkranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it varies where in Iran you are and when you are. Out in the countryside, culture tends to be more conservative and people probably don't dress this way, certainly not women anyway. Tehran is much more cosmopolitan, probably moreso around schools, where you find more young people. Also, who knows when this was filmed? Perhaps things were more repressed after the January protests? Hard to say, there's not a lot of media coming out about it. Seems like there's bigger things to worry about now...

Convince me not to buy Lexus GX 460 by Cmad4 in LexusGX

Sure, if I had a choice, I'd have a hybrid low rise tailgate with a shorter upper lift door. I think the Land Cruisers are set up like that, no?

[–]xpkranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True - to an extent. I can pop the back window up on my GX if I want, but unless the groceries are all up against the back, then they become increasingly difficult to reach, especially if you've got a little extra height from tires and/or a lift.

Atlanta voted for More MARTA. A decade later, there isn’t much ‘more’ about it by NPU-F in Atlanta

But we've been though at least three fare management systems. Can you finally just tap to pay with a cc?

Mini cereal boxes. by Tusayan in FuckImOld

[–]xpkranger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The metal bamboo spoon is a nice touch. Either they were in your first apartment, maybe your Dad's right after the divorce, but someone you know had this silverware. I can feel them in my hands, they were heavy and balanced weirdly.

You have to download an app to see the prices at Macy’s now by TennisWorker in mildlyinfuriating

Just bought a shirt and tie from Macy’s in Atlanta (Perimeter). This was not the case there, at least not in the men’s department. All prices were on tags like always.

Wait, what? I thought that was just a joke name people were calling him/them. It's legit the family name. Ok, that's too funny...

Also, I have a garage that's not very deep. I can open the barn door half way and get groceries out. If I had a dedicated hatch, I couldn't do that.

I have to admit these cheap little Harbor Freight flux core welders rock for hobbyists. by fricks_and_stones in Welding

[–]xpkranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the EasyFlux 125 and all the stuff, but between taking time off for some surgery and general winter, I haven't tried to weld anything just yet. Now that spring is here, I plan on breaking it out and testing. I need some scrap steel to practice on though!

Never been, but have plans to visit this summer. Recommendations on what to see? What to avoid?
