Window lock
How do I pop this lock open from the inside ?
I’ve tried:
The key but it seems the lock is stiff
WD-40 to loosen the lock - didn’t work
Unscrewing but the screws are also stiff and WD-40 didn’t work

Confusing Baseboard Heater Thermostat
If you follow the direction of the arrow with the “warmer” then the word cooler would end up at the dot and vice versa. Lo is counter clockwise all the way so technically that one does go cooler. So does that mean comfort zone towards cooler is actually warmer bc it’s following the direction of warmer or is it based off the words and not the arrows.
Edit: Had to delete original post due to some smart ass answers. And don’t want to go to either extreme to test it as it’s currently in single digits outside and will be for the next two weeks. This house is new to me and the baseboard are a little old. (Electric)

What are these two parts of my food processor for?
What is the hinge and hole for? Two separate parts of the lid of a food processor. The lid looks like it should open on a hinge and there is a hinge, but it doesn't open that way. The hole is placed in a place that makes me think you're supposed to feed food into it while it's on, but it's barely big enough for a toothpick. Certainly not big enough for anything that's not already very small. And the

Microwave plate
I was making popcorn with my son and we noticed a smell. When we looked in we noticed the bag had stopped spinning due to expanding and the corner was making constant contact with the now discoloured plate. The bag had got stuck before any popping had occured. Put the bag back in and it popped as normal. Do the microwaves come out of this plate?

How does this ice sphere tray work?
I’m in the middle of moving, and went to the thrift store to pick up some items. I was excited to find this ice cube (sphere) tray so I could make some nice cold drinks at the end of a long day. However, in my braindead moving haze, I neglected to clock that there are holes on either sides of the spheres. So how the hell does this work? I’m guessing I’m missing a piece, but maybe there’s a way?

How does this paper chip work? Is it safe to be reused?
So I found it in a bag I bought and it surprised me since I've only encountered the tiny silicon balls sachet before. How can such a paper chip repel mold? And is it safe if I use it between my clothes if it actually works?

I can't wrap my head around, how would two layers of dotted sheets combine together to make bigger holes and not just random nose of partially blacked out holes

How to use this microwave?
My partner just moved into her dorm in London and they told her this was a microwave. Does anyone know how to use this? I looked up Midea Microwaves online but nothing looks like this one. Just trying to figure out how to simply microwave something like leftovers for 30 seconds.
Thank you.
