  • I started using an insulated lunch cooler in the freezer to make clear ice. Its great!!!

  • Yep, this is exactly why!

  • I see what you mean; sometimes it's easier to just deal with it than jump through the hoops. In my case they also gave me something like 10000 of their customer loyalty points, which I had absolutely no interest in using.

  • Yeah, the insurance guy said that, but I guess people find a way to still screw it up.

  • This happened to me a couple of years ago. I called the gas station and as soon as I described the issue the clerk said they knew about the problem and gave me the number direct to their insurance guy, who made sure all repair costs were covered. (Pumped the tank, flushed the system, and some other stuff I'm not a car guy.) It was a hassle, but as soon as the insurance was involved, it was smooth. I think they were trying to avoid a law suit.

    What happened? Insurance guy said that the diesel truck driver had somehow put diesel in their unleaded tanks. I was dumbfounded. He said, yes, a person has to be both an idiot and a very determined one to make that mistake. Said the gas station tried to get all the diesel out, but of course couldn't. So there we were.

    My point is: it might be worth a call to the station she filled up at.

  • For each finite dimension n (1, or 2, or 3, etc...), the sphere in dimension n can't be contracted because of that empty n-dimensional space it surrounds. But that same sphere is the "equator" of the sphere in the next higher dimension, n+1. There, the n-dimensional equator can contract along one of the hemispheres, to a pole. But then that whole (n+1)-dimensional sphere still isn't contractible, because of the (n+1)-dimensional space it surrounds.

    BUT the (n+1)-dimensional sphere can contract along one of the hemispheres in the (n+2)-dimensional sphere. And so on.

    For any particular finite dimension n, there is an n-dimensional obstruction to contracting the sphere in that dimension. But if you go all the way to infinitely-many dimensions, there is no obstruction that ever stops contractibility of the infinite-dimensional sphere.
