  • No, big planes have to do this sometimes after digesting excess passengers and cargo.

  • Old German/English lathe chuck with original Manuel

  • Superglue usually won't hold well on fabric. If it were my problem I'd try carpenter's glue or wood glue. It will hold on most surfaces that aren't too slippery.

  • Desktop A/C unit. This can't possibly work! Prove me wrong?
  • Swamp coolers are a thing. I don't know about the physics, but they can actually cool a space if the ambient humidity is low.

    Using ice water in the gadget you have will improve its performance, obviously.

  • I'm starting to get sick of YouTube everything
  • Trouble is, more people can use a phone videocam than can write.

  • Reduced real lifetime of PV panels – Economic consequences

  • If I were you I'd see a doctor. Assuming you picked it up two days ago, that is sufficient time for it to settle and bite. The fact that it was not engorged is not assurance that you weren't bitten. Some people catch lyme and never show a rash, although that is uncommon.

    Your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic as a preventative measure.
