/* CENTER COLUMN: Takes up 4 out of 8 parts (480px minus gap adjustments) */
#center-content {
    flex: 4;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

/* RIGHT SIDEBAR: Takes up 2 out of 8 parts (240px) and adds the era-accurate border */

    flex: 2;
    border-left: 3px double #ffffff; /* Classic retro double border */
    padding-left: 15px;              /* Keeps content from touching the border */
