To do that you just need to wait for Wednesday (IE: when I do the MRs).

“Game Over” by Antelope

  1. John Lewis: Dallas “gave greater need” to pass gun control laws.
  2. Georgians’ favorite coach, Steve Spurrier, will have his book published Aug. 30. 
  3. 2014 and 2015 each set new records for hottest years ever, and last 12 months were the 12 hottest consecutive months on record. 
  4. Thank god Global Warming is still a theory/not happening, though… right?
  5. (One wonders which of the above will grind people’s gears the most).
  6. Mapping Atlanta’s commuting patterns.
  7. They’re pretty much what you’d expect.
  8. The renderings I criticized of Downtown Atlanta’s redevelopment may not have been the most current plans. 
  9. How will all 128 FBS-level football teams fare this season?

    Note to Obama. A memorial service for five dead police officers is not the place or time to talk about social/racial/historical issues or gun control. Take that conversation to cable tv.

    And what specific gun control laws does Lewis want?

      A national memorial service for an event that has sparked a nationwide discussion about race/social issues and gun control is not the time to talk about race/social issues and gun control.

      OK.

      I’m not in favor of politicizing these events and I don’t think it was necessarily out of bounds what Obama did but the only reason to suggest it shouldn’t have come up at all is that you just don’t agree with what he was saying.

        This decade’s equivalent of the Wellstone Memorial. Who’s surprised? There’s an anti 2nd Amendment, gun grabbing agenda/narrative that must be continuously advanced.

    Note to George W Bush. A memorial service for five dead police officers is not the place or time to reminisce about past cocaine-fueled Everly Brothers concerts. Take that to the Saudi Aramco shareholders meeting.

    And how’s your painting going? Pretzels still giving you issues?

    How’s your judgement these days? Do you think you’re pretty good at seeing where the world is moving? You can find out how close you are to super-predictor status by signing up for the Good Judgement Open. https://www.gjopen.com/

    I know this sounds like something out of William Gibson but I recall reading several years ago that the NSA was working with civilians who were very good at predicting how situations would evolve, despite having no expertise in the field they were looking at. Housewives anticipating troop movements. School teachers picking which of several Yemeni warlords would be on top in a year. That kind of thing.

    Some people are especially able to tap into a level of intelligence involving pattern recognition (Gibson again) that is clouded for the rest of us. My predictions generally run around 50 percent. Maybe you can do better. Just be prepared for a government knock on your door.

    Architectural renderings are never plans. They are the conception or idea of what something could or would look like. They are done are various stages of a project. Some are to ‘sell’ a project to developers or the money people (or the voters who vote in the money). some are for review boards. Others are ‘studies’, like material, traffic, sun paths, ect. Even the final rendering can not be trusted, since projects change even under construction. There are thousands of little regulations, rules and zoning issues that will effect what the final project will look like. Renderings are just discussion points. Nothing more.

    If you are really worried about parking, looking are the city parking space regulations for that area. All buildings require parking, the question will come down to what ratio of car to end user is required.

    I can’t pretend to know if she should or should not have made the comments or what the ramifications will be but when even her allies point out she shouldn’t have done that… well.

    As far as the Sweetwater thefts, I don’t really care. It’s mediocre beer charged at premium prices.

    Now, I’m not saying stealing from them is in any way moral but I’m not shedding any tears.
