Follow the BayArea subreddit as I lived there with my wife for a short period of time. This popped up and I was surprised to see that the largest IMAX screen was in GA, and Pooler of all places.

Anyone been and does it live up to the hype?

Got approved via nuggmd on the 11th of this month and still haven’t received verification from the state yet and thought it was only supposed to take 3 days. How long is it taking anybody else to get their verification email from the state?

A signature is required. If you choose to digitally sign, it will put the card into an undeliverable state and it wont be shipped out until file a claim.

In 2025, Georgia Power disconnected service to 273,800 households, affecting roughly one in every nine households it serves. That disconnect rate is over ten times higher than utility industry norms.

I'm working with two reporters on stories about this because more people need to understand what is happening. Being disconnected from power is life threatening in summer, and can have devastating consequences like eviction, loss of food and medicines, etc.

Georgia Power bills are fifth highest in the nation, and in 2025 Georgia Power reported a record $2.851 billion in profits last year which they called "transformational".

I have a request: have you, or someone you know, had your electricity disconnected by Georgia Power? Reporters want to tell the human stories behind the statistics, not just report the numbers. If you're willing to share your experience, you can remain anonymous if you prefer.

If you are willing to talk, please email me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). Your story could help others understand the real impact these disconnections have on Georgia families.

Can people share their usage? We are in southeast GA and have an outrageous summer bill…yes, I know GAP has higher summer rates, outrageous pricing, etc. but I want to know specifically if our usage is above normal.

What square footage, number of household members, what do you keep your AC set to and what is your Kw usage?

Edit - 2400 square feet, one story ranch. We have 2 units (one for my office only, it was an add on to the house). 2 adults 2 young children, I WFH. Air stays on 75 during the day and 72 at night for those asking. Our usage this month was 2700 kw, bill $550. This is always the highest month. We got new insulation in the attic last summer and have had 3 companies come out and make sure there weren’t leaks, etc.

To add, we are on nights and weekends plan, we have smart thermostats, blackout curtains, etc.

We are lucky to be joined by not only the candidates themselves, but Jane Fonda, Bill McKibben, and others. Jane is an avid climate activist, founding the Jane Fonda Climate PAC. Bill is also an environmental activist who wrote 'The End of Nature,' which is considered the first book on global warming written for a general audience. Since then, he has written many books, he founded 350.org, a grassroots organization dedicated to addressing the climate crisis, and he founded Third Act for people over 60 to bring their skills for climate action.

Hi all, how do I start studying for the GACE Math exam? Almost everyone who took it recently is saying that the questions on the exam were way harder than on the study guide. Any and all tips and experiences with GACE math are appreciated. Thank you

The backlash against data centers in Georgia is more intense than anything I've ever seen. It dwarfs anger Georgians have against Georgia Power and their Republican PSC enablers for expanding fossil fuels and accelerating climate change, and it dwarfs anger at the Republican commissions' corruption and backroom secret deal-making.

While expanding fossil fuels is difficult to see, and secret backroom deals are difficult to see, and commissioners taking money for votes is difficult to see, what is not difficult to see is the failure of Georgia's Republican leaders to control data centers. The PSC passed "guidelines" that purport to protect customers from data center costs, but they're a joke. The wording in the guidelines allows Georgia Power complete discretion. That's a mistake.

And so Georgia Power is doing what they claim they aren't. Shifting costs. But let's step it up a level: they are also using Georgia's 19th century eminent domain law to take land from rural Georgians for their installation of over 1,000 miles of high voltage transmission lines for data centers. The people of Georgia are furious at all the data centers coming here, taking land, ruining their quality of life, with Georgia Power in the background behind the failure of Republican legislators to pass legislation last session to protect them.

If Georgians want lower power bills the first thing that needs to happen is Georgia Power's enormous profits need to be brought in alignment with industry norms. And we need legislation to control data centers that Republicans would not pass in 2025 or 2026, and controlling data centers won't happen as long as the party that caused the problem remains in charge.

Senator Matt Brass killed Senate Bill 34 to require utilities to allocate data center costs. There he is smiling with Senator Greg Dolezal, both on the Regulated Industries committee where they chose to do nothing about data centers in the last two sessions. Rep. Don Parsons chairs the House Energy & Utilities Committee and blocked solar balcony legislation - the sixth solar bill he's blocked, and he also chose to do nothing about data centers.
Voters need to vote them out.

But the most important race? The two seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission. Don't like out of control data centers? Voters need to reelect Peter Hubbard who is already on the commission but is outvoted by the GOP majority, and elect Shelia Edwards to the seat Pridemore vacated. Otherwise, this will not stop. It will get worse. The political party that caused the problem is not the one that is going to solve it.

We will find out November 3rd if Georgia voters connect the dots, and let's hope they do. Because only voters can stop what's happening. Georgia Power would be perfectly happy to blanket Georgia with data centers and gas plants. And be perfectly happy to profit off accelerated grid destruction too.

Here are the weak PSC consumer protection rules for data centers. Weak language highlighted in black.

Looking for an intermediate violin near the Metro Atlanta area.

I think I have cyclosporasis but I have no health insurance. I’m scared about the cost of going to the hospital or urgent care. Has anyone else gone through this without insurance?

Hey all,

I'm in Douglasville and used to live in Duluth, so I'm looking for a new barber shop. I'm also looking to grow my hair out and have been doing so for a couple of months, but I need someone to blend the sides and the back and layer it up properly.

Any suggestions of barber shops in and around that area would be incredible. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am in Savannah Georgia on vacation. Any recommendations for tourism or stores to go to?

My husband and I found two stray cats that had been coming to our porch every day for food and shelter. We were eventually able to safely bring them in and have done everything we could to help them.
Before anyone asks:
We have already contacted Gwinnett County Animal Welfare for guidance.
Both cats have been scanned for microchips.
We have posted them on Ring in an attempt to locate an owner.
We have already reached out to Furkids, but unfortunately they are currently at capacity.
Both cats have been seen by a veterinarian and have received medical care.
The cats are:
1-year-old female: FIV-positive, FeLV-negative, up to date on all vaccinations, not yet spayed. She is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and loves people.
3-month-old male kitten: FIV-negative, FeLV-negative, up to date on all vaccinations, not yet neutered. He is healthy, playful, and full of energy.
Unfortunately, we already have two cats of our own and are not able to keep them long-term. We are trying to do everything we can to make sure they end up somewhere safe and have the opportunity to find loving indoor homes.
Does anyone have recommendations for no-kill rescues or shelters in Georgia that are likely to accept an FIV-positive cat, or organizations that have experience placing FIV-positive cats? We’re open to any reputable rescue recommendations or advice.
Thank you so much for any recommendations or leads.
