Title: Why do airplane windows have a tiny hole at the bottom?

15 Upvotes

I've noticed that airplane windows often have a tiny hole near the bottom of the inner pane.

What's its actual purpose? Is it related to cabin pressure, condensation, or something else?

I'd be interested in the technical explanation of how it works

Answered Is it normal for my bathroom sink to gurgle loudly after every shower?

13 Upvotes

Every time someone finishes a shower the sink makes this low gurgling sound for about thirty seconds. It only happens in that bathroom, and the toilet and tub still drain fine. I tried running the faucet for a minute afterward and the noise stops, but it always comes back the next day. The house is about twenty years old, and nothing else seems clogged. I am trying to decide if this is something I should just keep ignoring or if it is worth calling a plumber before it turns into a bigger mess.

Why does time seem to go faster as we get older?

9 Upvotes

When I was a kid, summer vacation felt like it lasted forever. Now months seem to fly by, and sometimes I can't believe how quickly the year is passing.

Is there an actual psychological reason for this, or is it just because our daily lives become more repetitive as we get older?

Answered How exactly is a standard rubber band manufactured?

12 Upvotes

The group chat got into this random debate last night about rubber bands and nobody actually knew the answer. Someone said they are dipped into liquid latex like gloves, but another person thought they are stamped out of flat sheets. Is there a simple way these get made on a large scale? I tried looking it up quickly but mostly found marketing pages, so I figured maybe someone here has a straightforward explanation of the process from start to finish.

Answered Why does my car rattle after I start it cold?

10 Upvotes

My car makes a short rattling sound for a couple seconds when I start it in the morning, then it goes away. A dashboard light is not on, and everything else seems normal. I had it looked at a month ago for an oil change and nothing was mentioned. It is not very loud, but it feels like it might be a belt or something loose. I just want to know if this is a common thing or if it needs a mechanic soon. Any thoughts?

Answered Is a wilted tomato still safe to eat if it sat out overnight?

7 Upvotes

I had some tomatoes on the counter for dinner prep last night and got distracted. When I came back this morning one was starting to look pretty sad, and honestly I have no clue if the weird smell is just from the fridge or if something went wrong. I remember hearing you shouldn't leave produce out too long but I'm not sure how strict that rule is. Does anyone know the signs that mean I should toss it rather than risk it?

Answered What's the best way to get that sour fridge smell out?

3 Upvotes

Every morning lately I open the fridge and get hit with this sour, off smell even though nothing looks spilled and everything is in date. I wiped the shelves and the door seals last week but the odor is still hanging around. Tried a bowl of baking soda too, but after two days it did not seem to change much. Anyone have a simple trick that actually works for getting rid of fridge smells without using harsh cleaners that might affect the food?
