Unless the insulation is excessive for your climate zone it will be providing value constantly, especially as the cost per therm of heating or cooling continues to rise. I’d leave the insulation in place and get a better opener if/when the current one fails.

(Edit) And start saving note for the replacement.

Subtext = under the words.

Many of the readers when the book came out would either have been in the war, lost people in the war, seen the effects of the war on those who came home, or seen the gaps in society left by those who were lost, or any combinations of those experiences. There is a lot that would not have to have been spelled out for that audience as soon as the setting was clearly communicated.

Anything in orbit around the earth (all the space trash, ISS, Hubble) is still part of the earth’s mass from an orbital mechanics point of view. The fact that it’s a little further away from center of mass of the earth is an infinitesimally small rounding error when looking at the mass of the earth and the sun.

I’d still add a third circuit (outlet or two) for future expansion, unless the walls are going to be open/a, then it’s easy to add at any time. Often rooms are wired so outlets on parallel walls are one circuit, adjacent walls are differential circuit.

I would plan for at least three 20 amp circuits. Lights and small incidentals (phone chargers) on one, computer/displays on another, third for future growth (fridge/cooler/coffee machine?). That way, if something overloads a circuit and trips that breaker, you still have power at some of the outlets.

I sort of feel like you put yourself in Yossarian’s shoes, and he can’t get out and neither can you.

Or a rivet.
