That idiotic website. Doors without glass aren't a problem, idiots that try to go through doorways on the left are. Then again... the EB I/EB II corridor has this problem...

yes I do, so I can put a ceiling fan there to help better circulate air, and I like that better than lamps.

"i hate this too. when i first moved into my current apartment, i noticed a painted over cover plate where a fixture would normally hang in the living room ceiling. pulled it off and sure enough there were wires in the box. pulled out the mulitmeter and found the circuit breaker to make sure it was still hot, $14 later i had overhead light.

sometimes i like lots of light when working on detailed projects and cozy lamps just don't cut it."


signed, and yes I need to do that.

I wish my apartment ceiling would support a ceiling fan.

I like the lack of an overhead light in my apt. livingroom. I do miss having a ceiling fan though.

On my first car, a '79 Chevy Malibu (and all GM midsize A- and G-bodies from '78 to '86) The rear windows did not roll down, by design. There were puny little tilt-open vent windows in the back that were supposed to make up for it, but on a hot day, they didn't really help. Poor design driven (presumably) by cost-cutting.

bttt


any cereal maker who doesn't use the new packaging style that Target uses with their Archer Farms granola.


This packaging is awesome.

http://www.target.com/Archer-Organic-French-Vanilla-Granola/dp/B0015R4A4E

It's all one solid (lined) cardboard box, foil sealed with a plastic, recyclable top. No need to fold the bag over to keep your shit fresh, and when you're done, there's no pulling the bag out of the box and tossing it in the trash.

in Japanese apartments. You're lucky if you have 1 electrical outlet per room.

If you put cups in my car's slide-out cupholders, they block access to the heat/air controls. The trunk release button is in the middle of the dash, so what if you bump it with your hand while driving 70mph?

you should probably pull over and close it. same goes for the hood and gas door releases?

Have you tried to see if there's a relay wired in series? Try to open the trunk while in drive at a stop, there might be an interlock to keep it from opening when not in neutral or park.
