Just moved into a house with a heated floor in the master bathroom. It’s a nice feature but we don’t need it on all the time. I can’t figure out how to do anything with the control pad. Can anyone help?
The piece with the button slides up and down to the top of the window. I have no idea how to open it but I’m pretty sure it does because there’s a screen. And it doesn’t appear to be painted over.i
I'm just weirded on how is the speed of the fan able to divide light and produce rainbows based on what I see here. This is not edited, this is just a plain random fascination.
Has anyone ever taken this type of vinyl mailbox apart? It slides through the main vertical post and looks like there's a "key" that snaps/clicks in and holds it together. I'm trying to prevent breaking it, but I can't seem to convince the parts to come apart :)
I got his lampshade from China. No instructions. The shade part has holes in. The string in the holes didn't come with it, I added those in trying to work out how to work the shade
It’s not because they’re old. These ones become fresh every time you pour more liquid onto the cap.
These worked perfectly during the summer. But once the weather started getting cold I can’t smell them. Is it because they’re oils so the heat makes the smell more potent? If so what’s the alternative to use during cold weather?
I recently joined a gym and they had me stand on and hold some electrodes (evolt 360). I think the machine works off of 120V and runs some current through you on the micro amps range and then determines certain levels of tissue density based on the level of current sent back to the machine. However, as much as I want to speculate about the accuracy of this machine, it spit out a number for my waist and hips that was within .1” of what I measured when I got home that evening.
My gf did this as well and hers was equally as accurate.
Im impressed. I was just unaware of how we use electrical impedance to measure length or even circumference! Does anyone here understand how this works?
Hi! Maybe the answer is right under my nose, but I can't figure out the BEST way to solve this problem, only "Alright" ways to solve this problem.
I want this heating pad to regulate between 73°F and 78°F. It sits underneath a hedgehog cage, and emits heat from underneath the enclosure making direct contact with the floor of the hedgehog's home and up into it.
I've tried towels and every thing I could think possible and I can't get the reading of the temperature to ever be less than 80°F-88°F.
*For clarity's sake, I do not let the hedgehog live in an environment where it's that warm--I basically do something different every day to get the temperature gauge to be between the 73°F-78°F. I am right now, asking, "what would be the BEST thing to do to solve this problem?"
I appreciate your help and suggestions! Thanks!
I have no idea what this would be used for? My aunt in TX used it to steady her Christmas tree this year but she said that's just cause it kinda worked, but she's not sure what it actually is either. Google shows several results
I moved and dissembled lamps (mistake) and now I have a bunch of these and no idea where they are supposed to go.
What do the numbers mean? How do I get one that fits a lamp I don’t have one for?
it's like a charcoal mechanical pencil thing how do i get it in to use it
They are the same material as far as I can tell, and the same thickness. Usually these kinds of gloves don’t improve screen touching accuracy but these are spot on. Just seems like normal gloves with red tips on the index and thumb, but they genuinely work really well yet the other, non-red fingers don’t work…though they look and feel the same with the same material?
(Instructions not found)
Serious question. Any time I see a *music* video where someone shakes their butt, I am just mind boggled. How do you move your butt up and down without moving your hips? And...especially people who can do it by individual cheeks. That and Terry Crew pec flickering thing just stump me. How can one learn to master this art?
Granted, my brain isn't working too well right now because REASONS - but I cannot figure out how to turn this shower on.
I'm staying at a friend's house while they are out of town. Where they are at, the internet is spotty at best so even if I text them, they might not see it for a while. So yeah - how does this shower set-up work? There's no button or lever on the spout. The only lever on the shower head dials in the spray. What am I missing?!?
I can twist it in both directions but it doesn’t loosen. It doesn’t pull off…any suggestions?
