Question:

How to fit firebird window back onto its rail?

The window for my 99 firebird is off its track. I think the peice I'm holding is supposed to fit back into the hole there, and then the other side back on to the sliding rail/track. Anyone ever dealt with this before? Any help is much appreciated! :)

Answer:

A sharkbite or other similar styled fitting may be a good source for a temporary repair, but only a full repipe will fix the problem for good. Good luck!!
It's not 'true' or 'false', it's just an idea. Pascal was a very dour Calvinist. If you knew him personally, you probably wouldn't like him. 8^) He was a child prodigy in mathematics, doing some incredible pioneering work in fluid dynamics, stuff only a few people could even understand in those days. Then he joined this severe Calvinist group, and after that he did no more work in math, he only wrote these angry fire-and-brimstone tracts. Anyway, Pascal's Wager assumes that there is only one way to believe in God, and that you either believe it or you don't. It assumes that we know God and understand him completely, and his plan for the universe, and what he wants from us. And we can make one single, simple choice to either follow the program or remain outside of it. But it seems to me that it's a little more complicated than that. The Bible is full of ambiguities, inconsistencies, and outright contradictions. People who claim to believe it literally word-for-word, they're really interpreting it to conform with a 'conventional wisdom'. But there are many ways to see it. So you not only need to believe, you also have to interpret it correctly. And how do you do that? All you can do is accept someone else's interpretation. Most of what Christians 'know' about the Bible doesn't come from the Bible itself, but from what they were -told- about the Bible. Pascal himself was no different. And while there have been many expert, and fascinating, commentaries and exegetics over the years, the people who wrote them don't really know any more about God than you or I do ourselves. Personally, it seems to me that God wants us to do our own thinking, to find our own answers. He gives us huge intellectual gifts and then he stays out of our way. That's so much more complicated than just simply -believing- as Pascal wants us to do.
NO, you need a separate gas detector. Smoke detectors see particulates like you would have in smoke or some dusts. Natural gas has no particulate matter and will not trigger an alarm. The alarm detection signal is loud and fast. The slow chirp means low battery. Sometimes they malfunction and chirp even when the battery is good. The supervisory alarm is the signal that is used when you use multiple smoke detectors in a building that are linked together when you test the system each unit will make that chirp so you can check to see that it is connected and working. I used to install fire alarm systems in hospital, schools and hotels so I know how that supervisory chirp works. Just replace the battery in the unit they recommend you do that every year as daylight savings time ends anyway, and that is this weekend.
