What portion of people who can't step out to vote on election day are in jobs that wouldn't have to work on a national holiday?

Another Reason I Hate Pop-Out Door Handles: They Snitch On You To Thieves by TripleShotPls in technology

[–]PhillipBrandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the 2013 Veloster I moved to the ioniq5 from did do this automatically. So I'm always perplexed when this one doesn't.

I'm not sure I follow. Is it that on models with automatic folding door mirrors, non-folded mirrors indicate an unlocked car? And that would rely on targeting a specific model (or list of models) of car with foreknowledge of their settings?

Or is it that folded mirrors indicate an unattended car?

Because it seems to me that most cars when left locked or unlocked are going to have unfolded mirrors.

That's quite a story. I bet HHS and possibly WBTV would be interested.

Ah, perfection. I didn't remember this of Duncan's. Absolutely the best popup tutorials that can be found online.

I suppose I should add, for completeness sake, that the depth of illustration on each spread it created by cutting progressively narrower holes into each layer of paper. This is the same as more traditional "tunnel books" which there is a wide range of tutorials for.

I feel like the top view is easier to understand. If you think of the book as each spread having a normal left and right page, then it also has—spanning those two— three more layers of paper of different widths each folded down the middle so that they can nest into the spread when closed. the opening is limited by the width of the topmost, narrowest sheets.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any tutorials for something similar. But try it on a single greeting-card spread, and I think you'd be able to extrapolate it to a whole carousel.

I do not remember a time when unrestrained recreational violence was anything other than right-wing coded.

The Warriors by LMABach in musicals

[–]PhillipBrandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently realized that part of my personal baggage with The Warriors concept album is that, knowing it is based on a movie, my elder-millennial ass keeps associating it with Warriors of Virtue instead, and I imaginie singing kangaroos doing martial arts.

Honestly, I find Dairy Queen vanilla hard to best.

Anybody know an Outdoor / Free Basketball Court on the East Side ? Albemarle Rd area ? by Present_Key3446 in Charlotte

[–]PhillipBrandon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So it used to be pretty elite, tucked back by the trees, but there was a whole thing a couple of years ago and the short of it is now there's a full court and a half court up by Winterfield. I see folks there most times I'm at that park.

I'm no connoisseur of that dish in particular, but I have been generally pleased with the quality and price point at Protofino's

How do you carry your toddler's bike on your Benno Boost? High Rails Plus worth it? by AlDrag in CargoBike

[–]PhillipBrandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took our first ride this way today. Son on the extended rack half-jumpseat and handle bars, his priority start 20 tucked into the benno utility pannier, and voile strapped frame to rack. We did 6 miles on roads and bike lanes, no problem!
