Squibbles

Don't worry about them being kidneys, they look more like rocky mountain oysters to me

It's measuring the distance to your nearest copy of Sid Myers alpha centari

This one gets me every time

Check with your credit card if you bought it that way. A lot of them offer warranty extensions that can double warranty length (up to an extra year). I've used it before once for a camera and it's a bit convoluted but it works. I think the process for me was to call the credit card company to confirm it would be covered, then getting a repair estimate from an authorized repair place. Then they either approve it and pay for the repair or pay you the original value if the repair would cost too much.

I've seen some produce with a sticker showing PLU and a barcode. Is the barcode in that case just an encoding of the PLU or something grower specific?

Ultimate portage

It's warm!

I would guess those large SUV's are built on heavy duty truck frames but not worked nearly as hard as a truck would be so they tend to last longer?

Here in Canada at least they have both at the moment. You can use the drive thru as usual or order through the app and give them a code at the drive thru or just park in a numbered spot and have them bring it out to you without ever talking to someone

Damn draculas

Mathias Wandel on YouTube made some good videos a few years ago about maximizing airflow through a house with fans. One big finding was that rather than having a fan directly in a window or door pointing out it is actually best to have it a few meters away and directed at the opening. That allows the fan's airstream pull in and start moving much more air in the room out the opening. He used strips of paper hanging in doorways around the house and also I think took anemometer readings to get good measures of the airflow.

I think the general theory is to run the fans starting in the evening once the air temp outside is lower than inside, then close up the house in the morning to trap the cool overnight air?

Thanks, now I'm thinking about two different classic Canadian movies, Canadian Bacon and Men With Brooms
