When are you are exporting from ID to PDF you have to pay attention to 2 things:
First, when you are naming the file/saving it you have it set on "printing", not "interactive".
Second, once you get to the exporting PDF menu, on the Pages section, you do not have the option "spreads" marked.

if that doesn't solve it, it might come down to the size of your pages and what your printer is set up for

Awesome, thank you.

As your skin molecules dry patchily, those patches tighten while others are still damp and loose, resulting in your whole foot skin being patchily pinched on a microscopic level, which itches!

Like Flash Gordon Ramsay said, he can have a look and tell you whether it's nbd or needs to have a physician take a look. Best case he puts your mind at ease about something that'll take care of itself; worst case he'll refer you to your GP to figure out what it is.

Haven't visited thread in a long time, was pleasantly surprised clicking new posts to see immediate responses 10+ pages ago to a question I forgot I posted, re: 120vac inline "twist" countdown timers. Ordering me some tonight. Thanks y'all.

Another: trash collector motorcycles anyone seen/remember this?

When I was little, early 80s in my grandparents sorta expensive neighborhood in a 20ish year old section of midtown Tulsa, OK, when the trash truck would come by it had a rack on the front that held 2 small motorcycles, each bike had a rack on its fork that held 2 big trashcans that the dudes would fill up and ride back to dump them in the truck.

I've never seen anything like since, is this still a thing anywhere? Why not? Also trying to find a pic of one to show a buddy who thinks a 4 year old me made it up in my mind but Google not agreeing.

Sounds like the sort of thing that would only be useful in areas where the truck had to serve distant, yet inaccessible-by-truck, areas. Otherwise it's just added cost.

I've never heard of such a thing, and I'm having a hard time imagining a scenario where it pays for itself, so I'd love to see what you come up with.

There's a colloquial name for these things:

...and I'm totally having a brain fart as to what it is. I keep thinking "cow catcher", but that's what the equivalent thing on a train is called. It's not "bull bars", either. I wanna say it's something with "deer" in it.

Here's an example. He's a moderator who's got that instead of a star for mysterious mod reasons. Someone who posts in a thread I follow has a little pill, but I can't remember who and wasn't able to find it anywhere. IIRC someone asked him about it around the time the grenades happened, and he claimed ignorance on it too.

The custom icon seems random too. You guys said it was a pill but it's a metroid for me and if I click on his other posts it will be a jewel or something. Lowtax thread is a good enough answer. That also explains why most of them are in questions,comments, suggestions.

I used to think it was because of a lack of daylight but it's the same when I'm working graveyards and daylight isn't a thing.

Christmas is the best time of the year, family time is bliss and everyone has wonderful families who love each other. Or so goes the cultural narrative.

So on top of feeling like you're the only one who has a lovely family, you probably spent a lot of money for the holidays and maybe you got an early December paycheque too, so now you're broke. And on top of that, you've got credit card bills coming at the end of the month. And your friends are broke too so nobody wants to go out.

And then February is even worse.

Daylight is still a thing, in summer most parts of the country will have at least twilight on either end of the graveyard shift, while in the deep of winter you actually will never see the sun for days at a time if you work graveyard.

Just as an example, where I am there's only 10.5 hours of visible light and 9.75 hours of regular daylight today. If I got up at 6 PM and went to sleep by 7 AM, that's no light at all

Depends on how you arrange it. When I was on graveyard during the winter I'd sleep 4PM-11PM so I could at least be awake while the sun was out. I was single back then though and I wouldn't be able to do that now.

I think The January thing might also have do with looking forward in small chunks. In the fall its just a few weeks till Halloween, then just a few more weeks till Thanksgiving, then just a few till Christmas. Once you get into January you don't have any big holidays on the horizon.

You can. Just need to do the title transfer. Source: just did it a few years ago. In Washington (the state), even.
