  • Let’s be real here: cars are more convenient for a lot of things, especially when proper bike infrastructure is still lacking. That’s why people tend to move in that direction.

    However, keeping at it is not sustainable and makes life worse in the long run. Adopting sustainable strategies comes with some pain points, but it’s simply the only way forward.






  • You’ll likely kill the motor or drum elements. In essence, your washing machine is an unbalanced centrifuge that tries to release the energy differential by moving the entire thing.

    If you restrict its movement, the whole load and the respective mechanical stress will fall on parts moving and holding the drum. They are not meant to hold that kind of load and will break quickly.




  • Could be my professional deformation as a food technologist, but for some things, most notably baking, I absolutely demand proper measurement.

    With enough things considered (for baking: weight of the ingredients, gluten strength and moisture content of flour, yolk to white ratio in eggs, fat content in milk, humidity, leavening/baking temperatures, steaming/not steaming, moisture of additional components, order of assembly - measure and plan out as much as you can) you’ll always have a perfect bake instead of “oh, ended up not quite as I wanted”.
