What happened to my wood glue?

It just went bad. It's one of those products that will go bad exactly when you need it. Actually, it went bad well before you needed it, you just never thought to check. I usually buy a new small bottle for every job/project. That way I always have at least one bottle of good glue.

How come running hard (especially when out of shape) makes your lungs feel like they are on fire?

Acid buildup in muscle tissue. Here is an article that explains what is happening:

Esit: I originally said that your.muscles are creating waste chemicals quicker than your bloodstream can handle causing those bad chemicals build up locally. While this is true in a broader sense, I think it is more nuanced that that. Reading the article should give a better explaination

How to remove stripped laptop screw?

  1. Strong down force with the appropriate screwdriver (looks like it started out as a Phillips head) while turning the driver with a wrench. You need a square shaft in your screwdriver or clamp with vice grips.

  2. Same, strong down force, but use a square driver ( Robertson screw). This can also be accompanied with a wrench.

  3. Drill it out. This is pretty much the last resort as you will use a drill bit about the same size as the threads which will pretty much take the head of the screw off as you drill into the threads. The threads probably won't come out but you will at least be able to open the case. I have had very little luck with screw extractors and they probably don't come that small.

Strong down force is the main thing I have found to work when breaking loose pesky screws. Pushing down hard enough to prevent the bit from skipping to the next slot

The OP suggests that there were Cheyenne Indians in the burning tents. I merely point out that the historical records indicate that this is not true. Please do not read anything further into my comment.

How do I fix this? Is it the spring or something else?

Looks like the concrete falls off on the right.

The gasket at the bottom of your overhead compresses to help create a seal along an uneven surface, but it can only do so much. Your gap may be too large to seal before the door bottoms out completely on the left. That said, there is adjustments that set where the door comes to a stop when closing, check your manual and see if the overhead can lower further.
