I fold the legs together (fold along the zipper, basically) and put them through the hole, which folds them again roughly above the knee. There's very little room left on the hangar when I do that. Just like in that site's method.

Love the iteration story, but like, what about pants? And thick winter coats? And stuff I don't want a weird potential fold line slightly to the left/right of centre? Her example rack only contains the clothes that would be perfec

Terrible metaphor, obviously. All electricity generating methods are compared in the same way, cost per power generated.

Wow this is a great point. They should at least put the tiniest of ridges though if that's the goal, or a gutter if that's better.

Article says half door means half as much to clean, but I think the most important part for the hotel developer was that it was half the price, or even cheaper since there's no hinge either. Neither the developer nor the supplier are u

Threads user count immediately completely dwarfed any other Twitter clones. Same with number of active users, which is already half of Twitter's count, according to one article: https://www.theverge.com/2023/9&#x2F

They totally could. But then I would probably watch way fewer videos, just like before.

Not sure what this proves. Maybe some people looking now are frustrated, but that's only from those who are looking. The point is a low number of people are looking in the first place. Hence low unemployment.

It's ok, the actual real reason urbanites live in the city is for the jobs, and for all the other people they know there, that are also there for jobs. That said green belts are great for stopping urban sprawl. They don't extend i
