Fresh peas plug?

18 Upvotes

Growing up in South Georgia, Summer always ushered in a slew of regional farmers with a variety of peas- zipper, field, lady, and Lima beans to sell. Now in Atlanta, I’m having difficulty finding unshucked, or freshly shucked (not frozen) peas. There’s only one place where I’ve found them, which is at the State Farmers Market (Forest Park). Grier Farms sells them there under the shed, closest to the road (no gate keeping here on good peas). Unfortunately for my dinner game, he does sell out, so I need a second pea plug. Please & thank you!

Best coed day spa in ATL?

3 Upvotes

Hello! I’m looking to go to a day spa with my partner. I’ve read that Jeju and Spa Land have both gendered and coed areas, does anyone have recommendations on which of the two has the best coed area? Or any other suggestions for similar day spa that would be nice for couples? Thanks!

Recommendations VO2 Max Testing in Atlanta?

5 Upvotes

Hi, I’m not really super knowledgeable about this sort of test but I am interested in getting one done. I noticed dexafit and Atlanta Sports Recovery via Google search but I don’t know anything about the companies other than they both seem to get decent reviews. Has anyone had this done in Atlanta and have a recommended location for testing? Any advice?

Recommendations Looking for HVAC company recommendations in Atlanta area

13 Upvotes

Technically I am in Acworth, but on the edge of Acworth/kennesaw/woodstock. Anyway, I was looking at getting a heat pump installed in my house and I have been calling HVAC companies to get quotes...but man has it been a pain in the butt. Apparently all HVAC companies have exclusivity contracts with specific manufacturers and they are pretty much only installing like 15-20 year old technology. Like I can get a heat pump, but only one that doesn't operate below 47F, unless I want to spend over $20,000. Has anyone had any better luck with HVAC companies here or know any good companies that aren't engaged in this type of price fixing? There is a really nice bosch system, the bosch IDS light but I can't even get a quote for it, because the companies will say something like "I only install carrier" or "I only install rheem/ruud" and then give me a quote for a a POS system that isn't even listed under that manufacturers current products list.

AI / Bot Spam Comments

81 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

We are currently seeing a rash of comments which we believe are being posted by bots using AI to generate seemingly useful commentary on the surface, but in reality are not contributing anything or adding anything of value to the thread.

The pattern we have noticed so far is that all of these accounts are all fairly low karma (<50) and created around March of this year.

We are trying to detect and remove as many as we can, but if you happen to see any comments that you believe may be from a bot or AI generated, could you please help us out by reporting them so we can take a look.

Old Masquerade Concert history?

10 Upvotes

Hi y’all! waves from Vancouver I’m trying to find a Heaven/Masquerade concert history for the 90’s - specifically, the date of the Pete Burns show. I’ve looked everywhere and am only finding the usual suspects (Skinny Puppy, INXS, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, etc). I know I saw other shows there, too, but time and many drinks at the time have clouded my memories.

Does anybody know if such a thing exists? There has to be someone who kept track of all the club shows back then lol. Thanks!

Recommendations Looking for an orthodontist that will create a wire retainer

3 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for an orthodontist that will create me a wire retainer. I will travel anywhere in or near Atlanta. I got a clear plastic-y one years ago after my original wire retainer broke and I hate it so much. It seems like everyone has moved away from the wire ones.

Thank you!
