So many new cars look like they're wearing nothing but shiny primer.

Reply to comment by PeachSnappleOhYeah in TIL Snow is an excellent insulator because it consists of about 90–95 percent trapped air (fresh). This is the reason why igloos are warmer inside than outside, and why some animals in colder regions build snow caves to spend the winter while hibernating. by SunCloud-777
Water is an excellent conductor of heat, that's why it's so often used as a coolant.

It's called a floating floor for that reason - the entire area of vinyl plank can slide around a little bit. The usual way to deal with the gap at the edges is to use baseboard trim.

They actually did give it new wings and engines: the 747-8i

They did, the 747-8i had new, more efficient engines and new, more efficient wings. It wasn't enough to save the program and compete with the large twin engine planes.

They did, and then called it the Boeing 717.

Reply to comment by Marineray in Squeaky hardwood floors by Marineray
Hardwood floors are usually nailed in at an angle from the side so the nails aren't visible on the finished floor. That's not possible with an existing floor though.
There are special screws with snap-off heads so the hole/patch will be much less visible: https://www.squeakyfloor.com/counter-snap-floor-repair-kit/
Or you can just get deck screws with very small countersunk heads.

Of course it's not, why would they suggest needing a 1st amendment if it was?

The same is true for Whiptail Lizards: some species have no males and reproduce parthenogenetically after the females engage in mating rituals.

I just went looking at "cows chewing" videos on youtube and only saw lower teeth and upper lip. It looks like their upper lip is hiding their upper teeth and our brains just filled in the blank.
Mind blown.

Fun fact: a turbocharger IS a supercharger. They were originally called turbosuperchargers, but eventually just got shortened to "turbocharger" or even "turbo".
Superchargers can be belt driven, gear driven, driven by a separate motor (electric or internal combustion), or (in the case of the turbocharger) by the residual energy in exhaust gases. They all perform the same function: they force more air into the engine to make it more powerful, but each method has different advantages and disadvantages.

Reply to Pilot light playing hard to get by dingustotalicus
I assume you're switching the valve on before you're trying to light it? It's off in the picture.
Too much air backflow could be because of ventilation fans or exhausts elsewhere in the building (bathroom, kitchen, dryer, gas water heater) are sucking air out of the building and drawing replacement air down your flue.
The easiest solution to this is to crack open a window near this appliance, at least to see if it will work. That will relieve the negative pressure in the building. If it does, but closing the window causes the pilot to blow out again, then a fresh air supply will need to be installed to feed this appliance.

Reply to AFCI Outlet Question by Norcine
If the test button doesn't trigger the AFCI then either you have have LINE and LOAD reversed, or the AFCI may be defective.
First thing to try is: disconnect the pigtail for the two efferent cables and then retest the AFCI with the TEST button and with your outlet tester.
