Things are good. I have two kiddos now, two dogs, much better job. My wife is recouping from knee surgery which sucks, but all is good. I think it’s been about 4 years since I last visited here.

How’re you?

Congrats, hope everything else is well. Good to see you.

I think last time you were here you said you were going to watch Emily In Paris and would be right back. Was it good? @jstewismybastardson likes it but he likes most things Phil Collins so of course he'd like Phil's daughter's stuff.

I haven't watched the new Beverly Hills Cop yet, haven't heard good things. But god damn I love the first two.

It's fine.
Nothing special, some decent throwbacks

Darn, he looked a little rough in the recent Beverly Hills Cop movie. He was really good in those. And Midnight Run and Gone Baby Gone.

It's ok for nostalgic reasons only

this is probably fine, right?

^ Apparently that all started with a fire sprinkler that came on when an AC unit on the roof caught fire and reacted with "water activated" chemicals.

I mean, why would you store chemicals that can explode with water under a place with wet sprinkler heads?

They had to evacuate in a 5 mile radius and a 20 mile radius was a shelter in place.

Over 90,000 Georgia residents taking shelter after chemical fire as haze, smell spreads to Atlanta

A weekend fire that sent a massive plume of dark smoke into the Georgia sky has led to complaints about a strong chemical smell and haze several miles away across metro Atlanta.

My post a few up shows how bad the smoke was as it caused a radar event.


Remember, this is a direct cause from igniting pool chemicals. Yet, people have no qualms smoking or get upset when they can't smoke near or around a community pool which has storage of these chemicals.

Scary to think how nonchalant people are around dangerous chemicals.

Also a prime example of why we have and enforce regulations instead of letting corporations decide how they want to do things.

Don't worry, the guy who drives a lifted pickup truck that complains about gas prices. Then has a profile picture wearing sunglasses while sitting in that truck who never took a chemistry class or even got certified to handle these chemicals is HIGHLY capable of self-regulating.

And they probably just get a slap on the wrist. Whatever fine they get will most likely pale in comparison to the damage their neglect caused/causes.

I didn't unlock the whole article but this is all you need to know about GA regulations and Kemp's goal all along was to keep it "business friendly"
NOTE: This is from 2019.

Georgia’s business-friendly regulators crack down on plants

Carcinogenic gas ethylene oxide at center of dispute between Georgia and plants in Cobb County and Covington

At town halls in August, Georgia’s chief environmental regulator told anxious residents in Cobb and Newton counties that the fastest way to curb emissions from medical sterilizing plants was to seek “voluntary” improvements, rather than taking the companies to court.
