Likely answer —we're being nerds and reading too much into it.

No—
—3 lbs of thrust isn't going to be happening, speaking from experience with model planes.
—3lbs of the air inside is compressed and weighs more is even farther from possible.

Likely—
—It only has the battery, fan, whatever when it's running, and they don't count that when it's uninflated for some reason. Like how cars have dry weight, curb weight, and gvrw.
—somewhere in the spec sheets, someone made a mistake, two people worked on things and rounded differently, some other clerical/communicative error.

There's a couple ways to read that, one being 'at dosages which have been shown not to cause clinically significant side effects'. The other interpretations are more concerning, of course.

I vaguely remember reading that lithium in low doses has huge benefits with minimal to no side effects, but it's generally not taken due to stigmatization from the downsides of people being forced to take way too much for mental illnesses in the past.

I agree with Car in that you should talk to them, regardless of how hard it is before modifying anything.

Depending on design, pliers could bend all the points to face downwards.

That looks like maybe the opposite of what they need, that says it doesn't affect normal operation, just boosts the ring. That website looks like it'd have something to fix the issue though.

I'm confused by the it in your last sentence.

Using a screen recorder (there's a built in one in the Xbox games app depending on version of Microsoft, or if not, people always seem to use FRAPS) to capture whatever is in the window to get more information could help.

Someone else will likely be along shortly with more helpful info.

People are colder now, looking like maybe around 97.9 average. But you're still chillier than most.

Any plastic sheeting that's easy to bend with or without heat could be a decent option that doesn't have high tool costs/skill requirements.

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.

A related article linked inside that one that lists the most expensive keywords to buy ad space for is absolutely shocking.
Imagine paying Google over $1000 because someone visits your website.
Kinda makes me want to Google some maritime accident lawyers and who knows, MLMs and essential oil charlatans and sow a little mayhem. Although is siphoning money from scummy MLMs to scummy Google even a net bonus?

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.

I mean, which that's a problem I guess, what banks don't support checking the balance online these days? How often does anyone go to random atms to check their balance? Seems like a problem that banks don't have enough reason to improve.
