Atlanta viewed from a camera at I-285 and GA 400 with the sun setting from the west. The lighting is perfect.

Well folks, GDOT did it again! That's a wireless emergency alert for ROADWORK that might cause congestion! Thank you for once again devaluing the entire WEA system and giving people even more alert fatigue.

Here’s your WTFMARTA of the day. I wonder how long it’ll take MARTA PD to get me a code if I need one.
An AED in a MARTA station inside a locked cabinet. Instructions say to call MARTA police to get the access code.

I swear to FUCKING GOD this had better not be Biolab again.

FYSA: The Five Points North & South Center platform is closed. Trains are only opening the right side doors. Everything seems to be running smoothly though.

Wanna do some remote development with JetBrains and don't wanna spend a bunch of money on a development server? JetBrains wants you to fuck off.

The cheapest DigitalOcean VPS that meets these requirements is $48/mo.
The system requirements for the JetBrains remote development IDE; 4 cores, 8gb of RAM, and 10 GB of space.

Anyone know what legislation is google whining about? And how I can support it?
A whiny email from google prompting me to sign up for updates. Text follows: Lawmakers in state capitals across the country are proposing regulations that could make it harder and more expensive for you to reach customers online. You can stay up to date on potential regulatory changes and make your voice heard by signing up below. Sign Up for Important Updates (Google will let me know about legislative and regulatory issues, events and advocacy opportunities related to my business.) It’s a lot of work to track and prepare your business for potential new laws in all of the states where you sell your products or services. And each state could make different regulations, making it harder and more costly to serve customers in their state and across states. We believe America’s small businesses should have a voice in this potential legislation, and the first step is being in the know. That’s why we’ve been working with business leaders like you, across the country, to make their voices heard on these issues. If you sign up, we’ll inform you of potential changes that could impact your business and about opportunities to speak up on these topics. You will receive an update roughly once a month and at key moments for your state. Sign Up for Important Updates (Google will let me know about legislative and regulatory issues, events and advocacy opportunities related to my business.) Thank you, The Google Customer Solutions Team

SURELY this is a dumb hacky workaround, I hear you saying. NOPE; fucking *github* does it this way.

Mind blown and I feel like less of a hack.

bring them back
Just to be clear: I never don't want a moth meme There has never been a bad time for a moth meme. I will never be displeased by receiving a moth meme. At no point in my life will I ever say " no thank you, I don't want a moth meme".
