what do insulating mean?

think they make this thing called a dictionary. maybe it can help you.

Plastic state.  \n:-) Hope this helps!

It means your house is too dry. Too much static. Boil some water.

It is one of the ways heat is transported.  The other two are conduction and convection.

I don't know the specific name for it, but, in telecommunications, there is a certain type of plastic used for insulating wires.  This insulation is known as self extinguishing, in that, as heat is applied to it and it gets to the point where it starts to try to burn, it releases some kind of gas that extinguishes the combustion that is beginning to take place.

Don't forget...also in earth science (weather)\n\nDeposition in science can also mean going directly from a gas to a solid (i.e. frost on the ground).\n\nDeposition is the opposite of sublimation which is going directly from a solid to a gas. (i.e. dry ice)\n\n:)

to temper something means that you are heat treating it... it is not possible to "temper" something by adding another ingredient.  (temper means heat)\n\n Annealed glass which has been heated to a temperature near its softening point and forced to cool rapidly under carefully controlled conditions is described as "heat-treated glass." The heat treating process produces highly desirable conditions of induced stress (described below) which result in additional strength, resistance to thermal stress, and impact resistance.

The critical barrier to insulate is the wall between the living area and the garage. You lose heat thru the wall.\n\nAs for the attic above the garage, that is a waste of money for the insulation. \n\nThink of the living envelope of your home needing to be protected and insulated. The walls and ceiling create this envelope. Some people try to increase their living space by modeling their basement and some by modeling the attic. You are fooling yourself if you think this added space is as equal in comfort as the original envelope. \n\nYou can cause more trouble than what it's worth when changing the attic. Cold air is suppose to circulate cooling and drying the moisture which escapes up thru the ceiling. Adding another insulated barrier prevents this from happening.

D. concrete.\nIt means definite, tangible, basically "real" descriptions

I recommend the following website for insulation choices.

Insecurity. Indecissivness. Could be like a ex of mine.\nCouldn't committ fully to me, But didn't want me with\nanyone else.

The technically correct answer is to balance heat loss with various insulated wall thicknesses against the installation costs for the wall, insulation and the heating system. Add in the savings in energy over a period of time to come up with a balance between costs and energy savings. \n\nIn reality the practical answer is to look at standard building material sizes and use those to make a quick choice. The old standard was a 2 x 4 stud wall (really a 3-1/2" thick wall not counting exterior and interior finish). The next step up would be a 2 x 6 stud wall (really 5-1/2" thick wall) and this is in many places the current norm. The next stand stud size is a 2 x 8 thickness but that does not appear to be very common.\n\nWhen we built our current house, we got energy saving estimates from the local utility that compared various wall finishes and thicknesses with BTU's saved. I would bet there is similar information available from you local utility or on line.

Igloos inside are warmer than the outside, but this doesn't mean they are above 32ºF.  Since there is no wind inside, heat from the bodies is kept longer (there is little convection) and this creates a samll micro atmosphere inside the igloo. If the air inside goes above 32º, a small layer of ice from the walls can melt, this reduces the temperature close to the walls and again a layer of ice is formed giving back a bit of the internal heat lost during melting.

It is to do with Logging ON and Logging OFF.\nThe ON refers to the Logging process not to the Internet.

I thought it meant someone had something JAMMED up their...\nidk tho. lol\n☺

It is thermodynamic concepts. Where the high temperature resorvior heat energy transfer to low temperature resorvior (cool), that process known as absorbtion. It can be both way either heat or cool absorbing system.

you're well insulated.  Therefore when you collect charge from moving around, you don't lose it very easily.  Then you touch something, a door, or metal that is a very good conductor....you lose the charge in the form of static electricity.  walking around on plastics will do the trick...turf, trampolenes, synthetic carpeting.  As they are very willing to give you charge that they have built up, and if you're well insulated...you start collecting it.
