How did I manage to bust my toe on the leg of the couch when it's recessed under the couch and only about 2" high? 

 

 

I've done that on my kitchen island bench top once or twice, and golly gosh that hurts!

 

 

not as bad as kicking one of the wheels on those small shopping carts, you would think i would know by now , nope





Common sense is not as common as you think.

You know when you're typing away and you look up and everything you typed is not there because... computers.

 

Where do all those letters and numbers go?





Delete cookies?! Are you insane?!

Into the magical combination of keypresses that delete important stuff :) 

 

I recall typing frantically on the keyboard whilst my video player had focus accidentally, and it took me about a week to get it back to the way I wanted it. Sound and aspect ratios were all messed up!

OK here goes mine. Any personal hygiene material gurus here?


When you start with a fresh bar of soap it doesn't take a lot of rubbing to generate the lather.


As it gets used up more rubbing is required to produce the same amount of lather.


The surface area reduces so there is one obvious reason, but is it also a case that the 'potency' of the soap itself gets less?



I can’t even remember when I past bought soap in bar form!

buy a tyre pressure gauge and check them at home, then drive and work out if they go up or not from home to the garage.

Was prepared to be fascinated by a recent thread here on DIY Hydrogen Generation. Now i'm interested to know why it has been taken down.

It was an interesting topic but it's not hard to guess. The thread was high on a list of forum user guide factors known to result in removals: Potential for injury, ignoring several warning signals from mods, then finally Wheaton's Law.

Thanks - perhaps there were further posts that I didn’t see, after the few opening posts that I did see.

 

My interest wasn’t really genuine - more of the “Whiskey Tango/yeah, really?” type.

Why are Monday hours 90 minutes long, when they are 60 minutes long every other day?
