Ironically the hazardous (to people) goods may well be better for the ocean than most of the rest. Ethanol should disperse well enough and not cause much issue. Fireworks are mostly cardboard. Still a horror show though.

Likely answer —we’re being nerds and reading too much into it.

No—
—3 lbs of thrust isn’t going to be happening, speaking from experience with model planes.
—3lbs of the air inside is compressed and weighs more is even farther from possible.

Likely—
—It only has the battery, fan, whatever when it’s running, and they don’t count that when it’s uninflated for some reason. Like how cars have dry weight, curb weight, and gvrw.
—somewhere in the spec sheets, someone made a mistake, two people worked on things and rounded differently, some other clerical/communicative error.

I have a pair of cheap UV protection sunsleeves that I’ve cut to just cover my wrists-forearms that I wet with a spray bottle when it’s crazy hot. Works incredibly well.

There’s a couple ways to read that, one being ‘at dosages which have been shown not to cause clinically significant side effects’. The other interpretations are more concerning, of course.

I vaguely remember reading that lithium in low doses has huge benefits with minimal to no side effects, but it’s generally not taken due to stigmatization from the downsides of people being forced to take way too much for mental illnesses in the past.

I definitely recommend Baba Is You and FEZ as well. Similarly to FEZ there is a mobile game Monument Valley (and Monument Valley 2) which I adore. It’s spendier in $/time, but I find is highly worth it.

Bastion isn’t a 2D game, but I’d like to recommend it while I’m at it, it’s play is perhaps close enough, and it’s stunning.

Until you hit the word scientists (and I suppose even then, potentially) this headline reads like it could be cybersecurity news.

I agree with Car in that you should talk to them, regardless of how hard it is before modifying anything.

Depending on design, pliers could bend all the points to face downwards.

That looks like maybe the opposite of what they need, that says it doesn’t affect normal operation, just boosts the ring. That website looks like it’d have something to fix the issue though.

I’m confused by the it in your last sentence.

Using a screen recorder (there’s a built in one in the Xbox games app depending on version of Microsoft, or if not, people always seem to use FRAPS) to capture whatever is in the window to get more information could help.

Someone else will likely be along shortly with more helpful info.

People are colder now, looking like maybe around 97.9 average. But you’re still chillier than most.

Any plastic sheeting that’s easy to bend with or without heat could be a decent option that doesn’t have high tool costs/skill requirements.

On a mostly unrelated science note:
Whatever compression happens to that thumbnail, on my phone at least, does some wild things to the rats face. Interesting how the different fur size/texture/focus interferes with the the compression.

A related article linked inside that one that lists the most expensive keywords to buy ad space for is absolutely shocking.
Imagine paying Google over $1000 because someone visits your website.
Kinda makes me want to Google some maritime accident lawyers and who knows, MLMs and essential oil charlatans and sow a little mayhem. Although is siphoning money from scummy MLMs to scummy Google even a net bonus?

Oh, regarding the burned spot, if the coil failed because it picked up lint, that burned on, insulated/heated up more from the lint catching fire/whatever, bending the coil outwards could actually make it more likely to catch lint/whatever. No idea with your dryer if that chance is better or worse than the possible benefits of spreading, just a thought.

Some greases are incompatible, and not cleaning thoroughly causes them to react chemically and cause issue, but unless you’re in that situation, you don’t need to clean super well.

Second tangentially off topic reply by me, but hey, it’s chat.

Something I encounter more often is rather the opposite. When people come to you with problems, (especially technology related, but it fits all types) it’s often “what’s the solution to this weird specific thing?” and that weird specific thing turns out to be a result of them being part way through solving a problem their own weird way, because they neglected to consider the hammer situation.

In your case I’d be like if you asked me for skateboard grip tape to attach to the cap because it’s too hard to pull off.

A good technique is to do what you did, recognize something might be wrong here, and try re-understand the original problem, feel good about recognizing it, not foolish for misunderstanding at first.

When I was <5, I was a firefighter for Halloween. Apparently my mom wanted me to stop bothering her and she told me to go fight a fire. Apparently plastic axes can break windows, at least thin ones on a greenhouse. That is what firefighters do though…

If by any chance you have tmobile, they have a coupon for free crazy bread with purchase of pizza every week, and occasionally $3 pizza’s coupons.

And if you’re a family all on tmobile… Whooohooooo!

I mean, which that’s a problem I guess, what banks don’t support checking the balance online these days? How often does anyone go to random atms to check their balance? Seems like a problem that banks don’t have enough reason to improve.

It’s always hard to decipher poor English, but that does seem possible. If you have a multimeter, plugging the socket into a cable would at least allow you to verify the ground and +5v easily. The data etc pins should be doable too, by using a USB A to C cable, and doing a continuity check to the pins inside the USB A side, which would be easy to look up reliably.

As far as swapping the wires around in the plug, that’s one of the easiest plugs to do it with. If you do need to, you’ll be able to.
