What are /r/Athens' favorite Products & Services?

Foundry has way more utility than Roll20 and is built on a modern framework so the speed is night and day compared to Roll20. It has a ton of community-built modules that you can use if you want. For instance, someone created a module called [https://foundryvtt.com/packages/quick-encounters/](Quick Encounters) that you can install which - you guessed it - lets you create encounters quickly on the fly.

You can also export/import all the things you may have bought in Roll20 over to Foundry.

You can also host Foundry on your own computer. And, only one person needs to pay for the client. So, I paid for it and all my players connect at no charge. There's no subscription model, either. One $50 purchase and that's it.

Basically, it's a much more modern virtual table top and it definitely feels like it.

I saw this article and thought of this post

https://lifehacker.com/save-money-on-your-christmas-tree-by-asking-for-a-dud-1830850070

​

tldr: go to a lot and ask if they have any wonky trees, you might get a nice discount or at best get it free.

I believe you'll find what you're looking for here, especially in section three: https://www.academia.edu/37350055/Athens_Ghostlore_Studies_on_the_Folklore_of_Ghosts_at_the_University_of_Georgia_and_the_Athens_Georgia_Region

I've done this and it was great. I purchased 7 days at 4.50 each. Their shuttle takes you to/from their lot to/from checkin/baggage claim.

I like to leave Athens 4 hours before my flight.

Ben Burton Park is a really cool spot. There is a greenway by the river where we could meet up. It is off Mitchell Bridge Road.

It's the remains of a "whip-it" or "whipped cream charger" which is just a tiny little canister of N02. It's supposed to be used as a little recharge of pressurized gas for something like this so that you can make your own whipped cream, but because the canisters contain laughing gas they get abused.

Looks like a McGard 24157 pattern lock. You should be able to go to just about any Auto Parts store and pickup a set or just order the ones I linked. You could probably find just the bit online as well, but not sure if you'd save much money, or get it much quicker.

When you do get it off, throw these all in the trash.

I saw him today and wondered the same thing, nice to know he's been doing this for at least 3 years it seems. Here's all I found in the form of a shutterstock photo: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/athens-georgia-october-15-2017-man-1508001596

hey man! i play in a band here called New Wives. we're indie rock-ish.. a bit louder than yall's sound but pretty calm at times too so i don't there'd too much of a contrast. we've actually just changed our name but you can check out some of our music at this page: http://www.reverbnation.com/kirbyandthemablets

most of the stuff on there is a bit dated but you can at least have an idea what the sound is. we're a bit better and a bit louder now but it's a lot of the same songs. just didn't like the old name! haha.

I found this on TuneIn. Trying to play it is giving me an error, but I can't tell if that's temporary or if it just doesn't work anymore.

You can also use the free version of Microsoft Word, online. You just need to have a (free) Microsoft account (hotmail, yahoo, outlook, Skype, etc). That site can be found here:

For sure. I use these professionally in a hospital:

Victor M310SSR Victor TIN CAT Live Catch Mouse Trap-2 Pack, Silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q7DN41N/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_0R3ZTYVNATP0Y41BYHF3

Just bait it with some peanut butter and you'll catch loads. Works better even once there is mouse scent on it from your first few catches. Just be sure you empty the trap far from home if you are doing humane release

I hate that you had this experience, nobody should have to fear being accosted simply by going to the store.

Thursday night is Lady's Night at Athens Gun Club, I encourage every woman to consider getting trained, licensed, and armed. Also please think about taking a self defense course, watching a series like Finding Fearless, or at minimum reading The Gift of Fear.

P.S. the buddy system is a really good idea.

Having a weapon is a big responsibility, which is why I always recommend training and licensing. A gun isn't right for everyone, but everyone should take positive action to make themselves and their community safe. I like the 140db key chain alarms that can be purchased on amazon. They offer a nonviolent way to draw attention and make possible attackers nervous, even if you trigger it mistakenly nobody is hurt.

You can buy a very good work monitor for like $100 on Amazon.

You may want to consider in investing in something like this (link below), where you can run the coax through it if you're running straight from the wall. Otherwise, your cable box should take the hit and not your TV. If your TV got hit with a cable box inbetween, it likely came in through the power. Or the power coming from the outlet could be dirty power and fried the TV over time. Either way, a high end powercenter is highly recommended for any kind of home theater center.

They're not for show, they really do some good work. Just keep in mind that while they are protecting your equipment, they are taking all the hits for your equipment. Meaning, over time (typically 2-5 years) they're likely no good anymore and just glorified power strips. And yes, this is one of those things in technology that the rule of "the bigger, the better" definitely applies. You can't go wrong - just don't daisy chain multiple powercenters.

Have you ever heard of Ingress? There are a few of us players in and around Athens. It is a mix of capture the flag and geo caching. It is fun for team or solo play.

There is an iOS version too.
