Ironically the hazardous (to people) goods may well be better for the ocean than most of the rest. Ethanol should disperse well enough and not cause much issue. Fireworks are mostly cardboard. Still a horror show though.

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.

I have a pair of cheap UV protection sunsleeves that I've cut to just cover my wrists-forearms that I wet with a spray bottle when it's crazy hot. Works incredibly well.

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.

It's not actually especially difficult. People who produce more than their kid needs will sell or give away the extra to people who are struggling to produce enough. Also... Some hardcore body builders buy it as well.

I definitely recommend Baba Is You and FEZ as well. Similarly to FEZ there is a mobile game Monument Valley (and Monument Valley 2) which I adore. It's spendier in $/time, but I find is highly worth it.

Bastion isn't a 2D game, but I'd like to recommend it while I'm at it, it's play is perhaps close enough, and it's stunning.

Until you hit the word scientists (and I suppose even then, potentially) this headline reads like it could be cybersecurity news.

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.
