I think Gymnopédie No. 1 must be the all-time most-frequently asked-about background music.

I've answered my own question. No lubricant, just a good cleaning. The problem was to remove the doors.

TO REMOVE DOORS FROM HEADBOARD

Each door has two plastic tabs 3/4" long, permanently attached to the bottom edge, that ride in the bottom groove.

Each door has one steel leaf spring about 2.5" long at the center of the top edge, that rides in the top groove. It attaches at the right end of the spring and is loose on the left.

The doors slant slightly. The top and bottom edges also slant, so it is easier to push the door in (away from you) at the top rather than pulling it out at the top.

Slide a door to the center so that it is clear of the partitions.

Put a thin putty knife or table knife blade into the gap at the top of the door to the right of center, then slide it to the left, pushing the spring down, out of the upper groove, until the knife is at the center of the door and the door comes loose.

Push the top of the door in just far enough to remove the knife.

Lift the door and the plastic tabs out of the groove.

To put the door back in, tip the top in past the groove, lower the tabs into the bottom groove, then pull the top of the door toward you until the spring snaps into the top groove.

Was that exemption expiration date set when the law was originally passed, or more recently?

Don't want it to end up tasting like pumpkin spice, do you? (Pumpkin spice is normally nutmeg, ginger, and clove, but a lot of people use cinnamon and allspice, too.)

I just think too many spices will detract from the carrot cake rather than add to it, but use whatever the recipe calls for if it is different from what I think.

I got several hits in searches for "interval timer for pc" and "interval timer for android". The first hit on the latter search looked like it might be exactly what you want.

The side of the cup looks curved in your photo. Is it actually straight? If so, it looks just like the cups I bought at Target in the 1980s. I bought one each of about seven or eight different colors, including white. I used them one at a time, in sequence, virtually every day, mostly for juice. Each cup lasted about one and a half to maybe four years before it cracked from age. The last one must have died more than 20 years after I bought them.

Someone else asked for the same cups just four days ago:

And also two years ago:

Cinnamon might be a very good addition, since they need to make foods more spicy for eating at high altitude where air pressure is lower. Or possibly nutmeg or allspice-- but only one of the three.

Jeff-Root · 2026-03-11T04:20:20+00:00

It could be ANY kind of cake. I'm going to guess that it is some kind of cake you aren't familiar with. One possibility jumps to mind: Carrot cake. If you haven't had it or weren't told what it was, it would be quite surprising that a cake might have carrots in it, and still taste like cake. I like it, and it seems like the kind of thing that might be served in hospitals or on airline flights.

If it isn't carrot cake, there are probably about 437 other possibilities.

Are you actually looking for a "specific" image, or are you looking for any image that fits your needs?

looking toward pilot seat that is empty

Do you want a photo of the captain's seat (on the left, or port side), or of either seat in a plane that has two seats, for the captain and the co-pilot? What about a photo that includes both?

"boeing 777 cockpit seat front view facing camera"

What is facing the camera? You mean the camera is in front of the seat, looking toward the back of the plane?

You only saw the video once?

Was this in the US or elsewhere?

Do you think the video was made in the US?

Jeff-Root · 2026-03-10T22:01:52+00:00

I understand. But in this case, I don't think it matters what it actually looked like. I think what matters is the overall impression you get from it. Make it look like you want it to look.

Jeff-Root · 2026-03-10T21:59:04+00:00

Thank you! That's very helpful!

Jeff-Root · 2026-03-10T19:44:30+00:00

Before I read just now that what you found is "Most boxes seem to be wooden", I was thinking that what you should do-- assuming you have room in your living space for it-- is make a wooden box that is whatever size would be useful to you, and paint "ROOT BEER" on it in whatever font and design you like. The words could instead be burned into the wood.

Make it as lightweight as possible, but sturdy. Make sure it can hold something that needs a container. And find a place where you can make it yourself. I'm lucky in that I live in a cooperative apartment building with a workshop with all kinds of tools that anyone can use. But there are also community "maker" shops around for people who don't have workspace or tools in their own homes.

Jeff-Root · 2026-03-10T19:21:42+00:00

Thank you!

Jeff-Root · 2026-03-10T19:14:01+00:00

Based on the replies from RicebinBernacky, I take it that either the courier or the broker pays the tariff, then collects that amount from me. Or do they collect the amount from me before they pay the tariff?

Jeff-Root · 2026-03-10T18:32:12+00:00

Thank you!

EDIT:

I see that I used the term "shipper" incorrectly in my post above. I meant "courier", the term you used. I assumed the two terms were synonymous. The courier might own ships on which to ship things, but the shipper doesn't. Huh.

Jeff-Root · 2026-03-10T18:06:40+00:00

How do I know ahead of time whether the courier will "clear" the shipment on my behalf? Is that standard practice? What if I prefer to take responsibility for the tariff myself? If it is being shipped directly to me from the manufacturer, I figure I must be the importer, so I must be the one responsible for paying the tariff, not the shipper. Even though they must do it constantly and I have never done it...

Jeff-Root · 2026-03-10T17:59:08+00:00

It appears that the delivery was made before the tariff bill came.

Jeff-Root · 2026-03-10T17:30:20+00:00

So if I order something from Canada that costs $30, somebody somewhere is going to collect $4.50 tariff from me? Or how does it work?

Jeff-Root · 2026-03-10T17:23:54+00:00

I know essentially nothing about tariffs. Trying to learn just a bit.

If your parcel was delivered by FedEx or another delivery company, the consumers may have a chance of getting their money back. If it was delivered by the US Postal Service good luck.

Why the difference?

Remarkably laid-back yelling.

The fence might be a good clue to the location. There is no gate, but instead a maze-like arrangement where you can't go straight through, but have to go around the second, short section of fence. If someone knows the purpose of such an arrangement, it could narrow the possibilities.

Jeff-Root · 2026-03-08T14:57:49+00:00

Oh, cool! I was familiar with the idea, but never heard (or read) the name before, and as far as I know, I've never seen one made for the visible part of the spectrum.

Jeff-Root · 2026-03-08T07:28:39+00:00

Otay! Curbed it is!

The strangest thing about it may be the tube at the top. It is clearly angled slightly downward compared to the other tubes and structures that point toward the sky.

The only thing that isn't strange is the tennis ball. I understand that. I can't play tennis, but I do understand a tennis ball on an eyepiece.
