  • knife thing is annoying

    Yeah, that was the first thing I found out, looking at the picture.
    One would have to tilt the holder backward to take out the knife and then make a very unnatural feeling motion to get it towards themselves. Even worse if there is no space behind the rack (there is a window in the picture that will enable that if opened)


  • From what we know, carpets tend to create static electricity when rubbed, which might happen in situations where it is tread upon, which causes it to get charged. We also know, that since the materials used for carpets are bad conductors of electricity, having them stapled at only certain points won’t cause a significant grounding effect.

    Now to design socks that use said static charge to electrocute the wearer hold onto the carpet better, reducing slippage.



  • In a flight of stairs, if even one step is off 1/8 of an inch or 3mm, it can cause someone to trip.

    I like running up stairs. Specially when there are a lot of them.

    When I enter a new building, I go slowly, getting a feel of each rise. If it turns out to be not runnable, I then walk the same way all the time. Otherwise, I get to have fun, starting the next time.

    That 1 off-step would make me hate whomever worked on that stair. That would increase by the amount of time I would have planned on staying at that place.


    1. You may seem to get slimmer after a long session of sweating, which is just you losing water. That will come back a while after you drink water, so don’t consider that.
    2. Cardio is useful too and depending upon your current condition, might make a big difference in QoL or just a small one. You might want to talk in detail about it with someone knowledgable and decide your pacing.
    • As far as duration goes, do it at least until you start getting the feeling that breathing is not giving you enough power anymore. Less than that point and you will not be getting better (this would be in terms of performance and not in terms of slimming); More than that and you risk falling (and I don’t like falling, so that’s the tip I use) due to dizziness.

    As long as you are feeling better, I’d say, don’t really worry about visual results. As the main result that comes, is becoming more able to do what you want with your body.

    My weightloss happened when I was a kid and I’d say, it was around a year after I noticed the change. But my memories related to it are more of, eating low quality food (which was also more expensive) and having multiple ailments, so not much of a +ive.
