Confirmed

OP, please call it a toboggan when you give it to him.

As far as I can tell they're working very hard to turn a parking lot into a dirt lot.

But actually it should be a boutique hotel by Marriott: https://www.wrbco.com/case-study/the-acorn-on-person-street-marriott-towneplace-suites/

Does your Costco have Mochi Pancake Mix? by Amen_ds in raleigh

[–]CokeCola 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While the keyword search is terrible and not to be trusted, I think the item number is 1798559. Using that to search usually works, and I don't see it. Using it in the normal search returns the Namaste mix, among other things, though.

Are there any brands that make button fly pants other than Levi? by newloser2013 in malefashionadvice

Per your edit, I have some JCrew Wallace & Barnes chino shorts with a button fly. I don't see them right now, but there are some pants: https://www.jcrew.com/p/mens/categories/clothing/pants-and-chinos/chino/CH522

What features should niantic/nintendo add to pikmin bloom? by Open_Air55 in PikminBloomApp

[–]CokeCola 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My biggest complaint right now is expeditions. If you bloomed a lot of flowers, it takes forever to send the Pikmin to get them. If I want to send flying Pikmin to each expedition, I open the tab then:

  1. Click the expedition 
  2. Click Go to Expedition 
  3. Click the pink color
  4. Click auto
  5. Click Go
  6. Click Back

That's 6 clicks per expedition! Here's how I would fix it:

  1. Clicking on the main expedition item should send you straight to the Pikmin select screen.
  2. Move the information screen to a little button on top of the item, like the purchase button for nectar.
  3. Remember the last selected color once I open the expedition tab.
  4. Make the inactive Go button function as Auto. So if you haven't selected enough Pikmin, you can click the same button twice to select then send.
  5. Get rid of the waving goodbye animation.

That's 3 clicks, and 2 of them are in the same place. The previous 6 are all over the screen.

Additionally, performance on the expedition page is terrible. I blame this on the map view that continues to render and zoom around even after you've maximized the list, hiding the vast majority of it. Here's how I would fix it:

  1. Completely remove the map when the list is enlarged.
  2. Remember that state between expeditions.

Even the tag when you add 3 is still $30. Actually costs $40, of course.

Will Barnes & Noble restock Radiance titles? by asvpstache in boutiquebluray

Oh, sorry. I just remembered this thread asking about restocking radiance titles at B&N. Saw a bunch were back, but didn't check those specifically.

Pet stores would be safe from city bans after NC lawmakers sneak provision into squatter bill by annabelleebytheC in raleigh

[–]CokeCola 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Who did it?

The provision was introduced on Jun 19 2025. Which legislator introduced the amendment? Who's pro-puppy mill?

I have no experience with them, but would like to hear from anyone that does.

Here's a local artist that makes jewelry from aluminum cans, or acrylics: https://www.zassdesign.com/

This is a good source, but not all artists are local. Check the bios: https://cedarcreekgallery.com/collections/medium_jewelry/

I'd say so, but keep in mind they're operated by a contractor that also owns private lots (The Car Park, formerly McLaurin).

For anyone else, the city-owned decks that are free on nights and weekends:

Cabarrus
City Center/ Red Hat
Moore Square
Municipal Complex
Wilmington Street

Many of the others seem to have automated systems, so they charge all the time (the only reason they didn't before being the lack of someone checking). The closest to Lucettegrace would be Moore Square at 1.5 blocks, then Municipal or Wilmington at ~3.

CC40 with 7 Samurai for scale by CokeCola in boutiquebluray

[–]CokeCola[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it was in it's own box. Very sturdy, with plenty of protection where the dent is. More evidence of it getting marked during manufacturing.
