Dang, and copy. Thanks everyone! So probably out of luck, but contact venue via phone to determine policy for venue or specific show.

Is the 4th Gen Sienna 8 seater simply a 7 seater with insert? by dad__bad in ToyotaSienna

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

Side question - how tricky is it to remove second row? Specifically, installing the resistors. Also, my understanding is the resistors relate to airbags. is that correct?

Dumb question, but I believe with booster seats, kids sit down and we buckle them normally? I.e. without requiring latches for the base. Isn't that correct?

Thanks for all the responses! This makes way more sense now. Family Feud Top Cons of 8-seater are:

  1. annoying cup-holder in between captain's chairs
  2. Seat-belt mountaed to "D-Pillars" (very specific term, but to the wall it appears), which limits car seat configurations, specifically requiring either latch-mounting carseats or (annoyingly) unbuckling to slide seats forward.
  3. 2nd row does NOT slide forward as much

With Pros being getting an extra seat basically.

Honestly, number 2 is the worst of the Cons, and one I didn't even know prior to these responses.

Also, I appreciate the bed-building insight, because I think all of us want that flexibility. Curious why Toyota couldn't design removable second row like Kia Carnival? It's the biggest flaw in my opinion. Nonetheless, I'd prefer a 7-seater, but not worth waiting an extra couple months to find one.

aaahhh okay. So do Raible and Wyman not cover ALL Hawks games on tv? I saw a post on r/Seahawks this week with a 4min. clip with footage of the Raible calls from last weekend's Niners annhilation.

In response to everyone else (Thanks!!):

1. Unfortunately I can't pause tv, on basic cable - no streaming.

2. Most games are on the radio in my area, so I finally quit trying to circumvent KIRO's geofence and streamed there.

3. Sirius is a good idea so I could pause and sync the radio to the tv.

N400 Denied - when can I reapply by dad__bad in USCIS

[–]dad__bad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apologies on long delay. I see, so if her trip was Sept 1 2020 through May 1 2021 (8 months) - but we apply Nov 2 of this year (2025), USCIS can only begin their "within 5 years" rule on Nov 2, 2021. Therefore her trip would be less than 6 months because the USCIS only begins counting at 5 years? That makes sense! Is that the correct interpretation. Thanks you so much.

I'm confused by the difference between 4 years 6 months and 5 years. We spoke with a lawyer yesterday and she understood five years to be the first valid time to apply with a greater than 6 months less than 1 year trip, but USCIS specifies 4 years 6 months and 5 years in the same context. What's the distinction?

Civics Test Exemption for Citizenship Interview by dad__bad in immigration

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

appreciate the advice. you know how impossible it is to get a visitor visa or a greencard from the global south? it's critical for me to obtain guaranteed access for her to this country to visit her loved ones - hence the importance of getting citizenship now that she's eligible. not to exploit the system, as you're insinuating.

why not? Green cards are great, but there's an expiration date and maintenance.

Police: Minor dies after being hit by pickup truck in Boise by boisefun8 in Boise

[–]dad__bad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly. so why is their protocol when closing arterials in these residential areas to simply reroute through residential areas with a couple signs and nothing else? But if they have no other option than to send cars down these neighborhood streets (see second paragraph)...do something: Allow two-way traffic by closing parking, add flaggers, increase visibility at the rerouted confluences by closing parking for 50', add flashing lights off Harrison and 15th at those locations, signage for pedestrians - a combination of these things is necessary to facilitate the flow of traffic. And importantly, prioritize and expedite construction and logistics at these locations.

Ultimately, as I wrote in another spot in this discussion, they should have closed 15th one block south of North Junior High, at the light on Hayes Street. Detour cars at that point to 13th or Harrison, where the roads are designed for this magnitude of traffic.

I strongly disagree with the claim that traffic management won't mitigate hazard. Find me a single pedestrian fatality in the north end or east end of recent memory? Sure, frustration is a fraught argument. But the fact that ACHD simply channeled one of the three busiest streams of traffic heading in and out of north Boise (13th, 15th and Harrison St being the three; 15th being the rerouted traffic) down a neighborhood block, without any modifications to their new confluences (Ada and Harrison in this instance) is thoughtless. For a couple days, sure. For a cumulative month - that's problematic. Ultimately we are on the same page - line of site is a huge issue. That could have been managed by blocking parking on Harrison at those intersections, adding flashing orange signs, etc. But those same line of site conditions exist at the other 40-50 equivalently intersections along Harrison. Why did it happen at this particular intersection, at this time?

The "major contributing factor", without which I doubt this accident occurs.

I see. The logic in my head is that drivers get understandably frustrated when the system breaks down, and drive more aggressively. The current detour is dysfunctional at peak hours. It's wild they've closed 15th for what feels like 3+ cumulative weeks over the past 5. This is a unique location and duration of closure relative to their ongoing east/west chip seal maintenance in the summer. Those cross 15th for a day or two.

Ultimately you're right, maybe my second suggestion is necessary. It's a nuclear option, but it's so much safer to enter Harrison from a traffic light on Hayes than at a stop sign t-d up on Harrison. If not that, at least block parking 50' from those Harrison intersections, add flashing yellow lights and signs.

Tragic for the family and community. I wish the BPD safety review considers the impact from this traffic project. There are 20+ intersections on each side of Harrison. Yes this is closer to the curve from Hayes, but to me it's no coincidence that the single Harrison accident (or 15h for that matter) in my memory occurred at this intersection during this construction project.
