Whats the insulation R value of a hole in your house at -15C/5F?

agreed - 35lbs is not large whatsoever. I have a 1.5 yr old basset/husky cross at 50lbs and an 11 yr old great dane/german shepard at 115lbs. I just open the door, because they need a whole door to get in and out. It is also -15C/5F outside right now, I'm not dealing with a doggie door that is basically going to…

any explosion large enough to have a cloud of floating or rising dust and smoke will create the mushroom effect. It is most recognizable with nuclear explosions because of the size and enormity of everything involved - reaching high into the atmosphere and visible for miles away. The column of heat will obviously go…

correct, unless you don't have empty space between your roof and walls/ceilings. my house is a story and 3/4. upstairs is gabled ceilings. so from inside, it is drywall, vapour barrier , insulation and studs, plywood and then shingles. I can actually go outside and see where heat is transferring outside via the…

100% agree - I made a really hot chili last year that I couldn't even handle, let alone my mild-is-still-too-spicy wife and kids. I searched out how to fix it, and it said lemon or lime juice as the spicy-ness (capsaicin) is actually a alkali/base. Everyone who didn't skip out of grade 9 science* knows that mixing an…

What, like there is an audience or camera that they are all facing??? lol

I have twins - so i got to do the car seat thing twice every time. The latch system is much more secure than a regular belt for attaching a car seat. I was able to use my whole 200lbs to compress the car seats into the regular seats and tighten the Latch straps, and when i push on the car seats, the whole vehicle…

This line should have been highlighted:

I never tried either of those....I never saw the pointas i never needed a menu replacement.. I also likely won't try them either, but thanks for the other options for other people who might be looking.

this was the main article i read that had me seriously not wanting to bother with them anymore.

you should probably warn people that outlets are not always the same stuff you get in the actual stores - they probably were overstock back a decade or two ago, when outlet meant you were getting a deal. Nowadays outlet just means "here's some cheaply made, lower quality versions of our stuff in the main stores."…

actually very few of the things for sale in an outlet are out of date clothes. the non-selling items in one store are usually shipped to a store where the item is selling well. Outlets are branded the same but are usually just runs of lower quality copies of the stuff you'd see in a normal store. i read about this…

WHile i may be one of the few who actually like Windows 8's Start screen, I find that Launchy is great if you don't want to go hunting for the program icon on the start menu/screen or in the programs folder - you hit the keyboard shortcut (default is Alt+Spacebar) to bring up Launchy's search box - start typing the…

rocketdock (free) is very similar to object dock, and it has built in Bins ... that and Launchy are all I use

Lol by the time you get over to win 8, everyone will have gone to win 10....

I'm a regular grammar-Nazi, but you win! Nicely done!

Similar case with me. Except it started off with just my parents and siblings being cut off, and then ended up being pretty much everyone I have a blood relationship with, due to each one of them trying to butt in and mend bridges where there were no foundations to even start to rebuild... and I'm confident in saying…

exactly... it is like Elon Musk saying he's not too worried about that Falcon rocket that whacked the landing barge at a 45 degree angle. (wired article: http://www.wired.com/2015/01/elon-m…) It was a $60 million rocket. Space X is worth $1.6 billion, and Musk's personal net worth is over $11 billion. MS dropping…

I only know because my wife and i were looking to maybe get another of the largest expedit shelves early 2014 (we already had one from about 8 years ago), and all the IKEA stores around were out of stock and wouldn't give any information on getting more. We found that weird, as they usally will be very forthcoming…
