Need to borrow/rent a viable laptop or computer in the Atlanta area

Hello,

I am going to stay near the Mercedes-Benz stadium in Atlanta as I’m taking a trip here soon.

I was wondering if there was a nearby library or other resource I could use to work on this exam preferably in private over the weekend. Additionally, I also need to install an extension called Honorlock to access the exam and need a computer that also permits access to this program.

When are we getting some on ramps to the express lane on 575N because we can't expect this 2 lane road to keep working?

Why is it going? going South gets openings to get inside the express lane but when it comes to going north there's absolutely nothing? I am 10,000% sure every North Georgia person who takes this route prays for this to happen, why is this not even a discussion in Cherokee county/cobb county? I feel bad for any student getting suckered into doing commuting to get to ksu, worst highway in Georgia imo

Atlanta Toll Road Directions

Is there a reason that the tolls roads NEVER match the schedule when I go through? I bought a pass 6 months ago, and I’ve only been able to use it 2/12 trips. I check the schedule to make sure I’m coming through at the correct time, but it is still inevitably going the opposite direction. This feels like a rip off to have $20 just sitting in a pass that I am never able to use.

People of Georgia…

Hello from Godalming (Surrey, UK) I’ve always been curious as to whether our towns ‘friendship link’ is reciprocated in Georgia, or whether you guys knew it existed? According to Wikipedia: ‘James Oglethorpe, the founder of the colony of Georgia, was born in godalming in 1696 and the town maintains a friendship with the U.S. state and the cities of savannah and Augusta in particular’

Recommended animal encounter at the aquarium?

I’m having trouble deciding whether to go with the beluga, sea lion, harbor seal, or otter encounter, Would love to hear your personal experiences and if it’s worth it! If you think another encounter that I didn’t list is better, I’d love to know too please. Thanks so much in advance.

How do I find a quiet rural home for my pet?

I have a 2 year old rescue mutt who I adopted when he was 4 months old. I got him outside the socialization window, and he is extremely fearful of the outside world. He is AMAZING and very well behaved inside the house, but as soon as he steps out the door he becomes anxious, fearful and trembles a lot. I moved from Midtown Atlanta to a quieter part of the city (on the beltline), and it has not helped. He can be anxious and trembling at 4 am in the morning, in complete silence.

As I live in the city we are close to cars, construction, and all other noises that stress him out horribly. He is also very anxious and stressed out in cars, so I am not able to drive him regularly anywhere where he can feel comfortable.

I have discovered he does feel very comfortable in a fenced yard. I boarded him for 10 days with a couple in a suburban house with a nice big backyard, and they had another dog. He did really well in that house. While at home I have to give him gabapentin twice a day to reduce his anxiety, he did not need any meds while he was there. He is also very comfortable outdoors in woods and trails, where he is playful and happy. However the extreme stress of the drive makes it not worth it.

I am not looking for advice on training him. I have been to multiple private trainers, and also a board certified vet behaviorist. We have tried multiple combinations of meds for over a year, and none of them have helped. I have exhausted all possible options to help him.

He is an amazing little dog, very playful, gentle and snuggly. He can get along with all people, dogs, cats, infants and toddlers. I cannot give him the training and environment that he needs to thrive.

While I continue to take care of him, I am trying to find someone in a remote quiet neighborhood looking to adopt a pet. I contacted the rescue I adopted him from. They insist he will have to be fostered with them until they find a home. I don't want him to deal with the stress of moving from foster to foster.

Are there any resources or websites I can use to find someone suitable for him? How can I reach out to the people living away from the city that are looking to adopt?

Seeking Community: A Black Ohioan's Quest to Find Home in Atlanta

As a 25-year-old Black man from a predominantly white hometown in Ohio, I'm feeling the urge to relocate to Atlanta, a city with a thriving Black community. I'm exhausted from constantly feeling like an outsider in my own hometown, despite having lived here my entire life.

Has anyone else made a similar move to Atlanta from outside the city? What were your experiences like? Did you find it easy to connect with the community and build a new life?

Georgia Safari

Went with the fam to Georgia Safari conservation park for a guided tour and had a blast! The staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable! They definitely care about all of the animals in their care. I recommend checking it out. I know we will be back and most likely staying a night or two.

As a fellow Georgian I need advice

Ok so I grew up in Newnan Georgia and one my favorite hobbies is gaming but the type of games I play have always gave me the dream of moving to a small down with beautiful scenery and you can walk everywhere. I heard north georgia was the best for it but I want opinions on what you guys think is the best place with what I said. I apologize in advance if this is confusing I'm currently trying to move out of my parents (I'm 19) and just wanna go somewhere with a good active community and maybe somewhere that does a festival of sorts but please tell me what you guys recommend!

I’ve had severe tooth pain for a week now that antibiotics haven’t done much for and pain killers don’t work. I have an appointment with dental Monday and I’m concerned with what I’m reading that I’m going to need a root canal and I’m seeing it won’t cover. Does anyone have any info?

How to get a financed car in California registered with Georgia Plates?

I have a car that has plates expiring march 2025, and wanted to register my car to georgia instead where my family lives. I’m military and stationed here in CA temporarily. I was wondering how to do this without driving to georgia. I’m aware of certain fees, as long as they’re not unshakably expensive.

Also the car insurance is under georgia and the car is financed through my bank with a loan under my name.

When does GA switch to 2023 NEC?

Is it 1/2025?

If they do does that mean it is statewide or does each AHJ chance at their own pace?

If I “changed my name” when filling out my marriage license, do I have to go through all the motions with everything else?

I got married earlier this month (yay!) When filling out the marriage license prior to the actual ceremony and turning it in, I listed that I wanted to change my last name to my husband’s. Now that I’m looking at everything there is to do regarding this name change since I am also moving at the same time, I kind of just want to keep my last name the same. Do I have to change it since I put it in the license paperwork legally or can I just leave everything the same?

Could someone explain the slang that Georgians use?

Hey everyone!! So I was born in Burkina Faso, and I’ve bounced around the world quite a bit since my parents work for their countries’ embassies, but I moved to the USA (specifically Washington DC) in 2021 when I was about 15 and we’ve stayed here since.

My English is still quite bad as I’m still learning how to speak/write in it, but I’ve decided to study down here in Georgia, specifically at Georgia State in Atlanta.

I hear a lot of slang being used by friends, my girlfriend and strangers that I have absolutely 0 clue what it means, and I don’t want to seem stupid by asking them what it means lol, so could native Georgians educate me on some of the slang you guys use down here? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

EDIT: Here’s some of the slang I hear being used: L5P, Twelve or “Fuck Twelve”, Bando, Trap or “The Trap”, Shawty, Finesse, No cap, Slime, Slaps, Geeked, What You Talm Bout, ITP/OTP, Spaghetti Junction, We Full, Waho?

EDIT 2: Thank you all so much for the help, I’ll probably be back to ask about the culture soon lol, I’m very appreciative of you all (y’all?). All of you are very hospitable!
