  • As a kid (+/- 7yo) I saw a huge ass nail hanging out from some broken piece of wood laying in the school yard and thought: “I’ll make a hole in my slipper”, so I hovered my foot over the nail, but that didn’t do it. “Oh I need to put pressure on it”.

    In my head I thought I was making an arch with my foot so that I would only put weight on the front and back of the slipper and the nail wouldn’t hit me. Only in my head.

    So I stepped on the nail, injuring myself. I then went to an adult. After patching my foot they asked me to go find the nail and throw it in the trash, before anyone else steps on it too.

    The piece of wood was too big for me to handle, so I thought: “nobody is gonna be stupid enough to step on that” and left it there.





  • As a complete beginner, Drops is pretty good for learning random words and increasing vocabulary. As you advance through it you start seeing sentences too, but it doesn’t teach you how to make your own sentences, only to memorize the ones they pre-created.

    Rosetta Stone doesn’t translate anything. All of the content is in the language you want to learn and it tries to introduce you to things in a natural way. For example it shows a picture of someone biting an apple and says “the man eats an apple”, then later shows other pictures related to one or multiple men, fruits and verbs, so you can get used to the differences between things just by observing those.





    • Can my coffee maker make tea instead?

    That is a very good question and good on you for looking for healthier options for hot drinks. In short: yes, your coffee maker can make tea. For that you need to turn it upside down and toggle on the “use herbs” button.

    • I don’t see such a button.

    Ah, that’s a classic case of coffee makers not showing their buttons on the external side. You’ll need to open up the equipment and press the internal button with a screwdriver. Would you like some help opening it? I can make you a detailed guide about how to turn screws if you want.

    • I’ve opened it. There’s no button. There’s no sort of control of anything for different types of drinks.

    Ah, that narrows it down quite a bit. What you’ll need to do is buy several pieces of equipment and install a custom built module for turning coffee into tea. I can help you build a list of the most efficient parts to acquire for this. Would you like to start this project now?
