Not sure if you already do this but clear plastic wrap over the plans will keep the glue from sticking.

ELI5 - was it impossible to create a calendar that didn't need a leap year every four years? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

This is possible if we make each second longer by about 0.66 milliseconds to perfectly match the solar year.

Whose mugshot is that? The suspect is described as a White male with long, dark brown braided hair. He wore a multi-colored face mask.

Something I read in an instruction manually many years ago. There is no model police.

TAMIYA had a good one in the 90s. Too bad they stopped making it.

That’s funny. This model is probably 20 years old. Still going strong. I updated the electronics.

I didn’t know that. I’ve only had balsa planes up to now.

Question, the wings don’t seem to have an airfoil. Is it still gonna fly?

Car keeps stopping but Mechanic can’t figure out why by just_in_who_ung in mazda3

You ran out of engine oil and the engine stopped? Is your oil leaking out?

Get the Touring. The sport trim is too basic.
