Learning has occurred
Morituri:
Today I learned that freezer door gaskets, if they get too cold, actually freeze. That would seem to be a design flaw, wouldn't it? I mean, thinking about it....
Anyway, the appropriate thing to do, if your door is closing but your gasket won't conform all the way around, (symptoms are frost or ice building up from condensation inside, leaked water, or occasional failures to maintain freezing temperature) is to get out a hair dryer and warm up the gasket until it becomes flexible once again. Don't overdo it; too much heat will cause your gasket to burn (if rubber) or melt (if plastic).
But anyway, once you thaw the darn thing out, it can flex and conform itself to seal. And if it freezes in THAT configuration that's okay.

Today is the day I learned that Damascus steel was nanotech.
Perfectly Reasonable:
Electronic parts often have colored bands or dots to show their values. In that code, black is zero.
