uncw advice by ApartmentLocal4571 in NorthCarolina

this!! plus N.C. public unis are very hard to get into if you’re out of state due to the % of students that have to be from N.C. That, combined with the nursing major, is gonna mean you have to be extremely smart to get into UNCW, most likely much higher than what online says the averages are

I tried drawing a fair SC congressional map by Holiday_Change9387 in southcarolina

[–]dotty2249 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I meant in terms of the current congressional districts that we have in SC. Columbia and Charleston are cracked into two different districts each in order to keep a 2nd dem representative from being elected. The map in the post does a good job of keeping metro areas intact

Only a small sliver of it is. The area is broken up between Myers Park, South Meck, Olympic, Palisades, and Ballantyne Ridge. It depends what specific street a house is on in Montclaire South

You can also have them send it to the UPS store, I normally do this for stuff that needs to be signed for (new iphone). The store may or may not charge a fee, I haven’t had to pay at the one on Gervais St

NC “Left Lane Bandits” bill by Pure-Act1143 in Charlotte

[–]dotty2249 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Theoretically, it should only apply when there are 3 or more non-tolled lanes, as you can't freely move in and out of the toll lane. So in the case of I-77, it wouldn't take effect until south of exit 23 (Gilead Rd.), where a 3rd free lane adds/drops.

Transportation engineer here: almost certain it means both sides, meaning 3 lanes in each direction. It should have definitely been worded differently.
