I am chasing a small ceiling stain near an exterior wall. The strange part is that it does not show up during ordinary rain. It appears after storms where the wind is pushing rain toward that side of the house. There is...
I'm piecing together a Japan trip with city trains, a regional railway and a longer-distance train. I know an IC card can pay for many ordinary rides, but it isn't a magic ticket for every service. My worry is reaching a...
I want to mount a sturdy rack in the utility room, but the studs don't line up with where the hooks need to go. The rack will hold coats and a few heavy bags. I thought about fastening a painted plywood backer across two...
Two supermarket queues seem to have the same number of people and move at roughly the same speed. Somehow the one I choose always feels slower. I suspect waiting without knowing when you're next is worse than watching a...

I'm getting an oddly empty-tasting V60. Going finer adds a dry, bitter finish; going coarser removes that bitterness but makes the cup watery rather than sweet. I'm using 18 g coffee to 300 g water, roughly three minutes...

I have a few lifts where I can do the same weight for the same reps every week, but adding the next plate jump makes the last set ugly. I am leaning toward adding reps inside a range first, then adding weight and droppin...
I want deeply browned mushrooms, but mine dump water into the skillet and simmer sadly until dinner is almost ready. I usually crowd them because it seems wasteful to cook in batches. I'm trying a wider stainless pan, hi...
