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.
Depending on context, value is also often required. That can be in the form of nutrition, taste, flavor, preservation, or appearance. Take edible gold leaf, sugar free fairly nutrition free candies, spices, or hot sauce as examples. Their ingredients too, there’s wood fiber derivatives used as fillers sometimes.
On the flip side, a gold wedding band can pass through a digestive tract quite safely, and is materially identical to edible gold leaf. Generally not considered edible though. A sheaf of printer paper? Not edible. Some small paper wrappings, often edible. Similarly a marble would pass through with no danger unless chewed. In many ways safer than a very strong hot sauce or some baking ingredients. And yet…
Edible is quite a wiggly term.
This is a delight piece of work, and well worth the research needed to make it.
Sometimes you have to draw a line in the sand about strange low-stakes terminology opinions you’re passionate about.
I had a similarly passionate “what counts as a jumpsuit” debate not too long ago. The key difference in opinions was about sleeve length.
I will begrudgingly call a jumpsuit with short sleeves a jumpsuit, but once it has no sleeves at all it cannot hold the title anymore. Jumpsuits were designed as full body garments for jumping out of planes, fancy dress overalls just aren’t jumpsuits, regardless of the slow bastardization of the term fashion has allowed. There’s no great title for it, overalls shares a similar niche but not quite. Romper also comes close, but requires shorts, not full length legs.
Thanks for the rant.
The cool thing is that they’re floating because of gravity. Specially, the thing they’re floating in is heavier than they are, so the float medium gets pulled underneath the object.
By free search allowance, do you mean the one time trial of 100, the 300 per month if you’re paying $5, or something else?
While there is a certain level of innate technical mindedness that people have… Being willing to try to fix it, and the lessons you’ll learn from either fixing it or not is huge. Regardless of outcome hopefully the experience will be somewhat fun and pay dividends in terms of being able to recognize where vacuums get bound up with clogs, hair, etc. Occasional deep cleaning will make all the vacuums in your future live longer and suck harder.
Projects that are ‘either it gets fixed or tossed’ are great, there’s so little pressure, and so much you can learn.
Feel free to ask more specific questions if you get deep inside it and come up with them!
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.
