Actually you may need to use a curved suface to keep a constant radius from the lens. Must find that picutre of using a PostIt to capture dust when drilling a hole in a wall :)

Also, you could just twist the handle to release the blade, or press the release button on the newer type razors. Then the blade would just fall through the hole.

Probably no longer childproof, I'd imagine just squeezing the bottle will have the top fall off.

That plastic is usually stiff enough. And with the handle partial filling the hole it would resist being squeezed.
If someone's hands are strong enough to squeeze.

If ifs and ands were pots and pans, there'd be no work for tinkers' hands!

Sorry I stopped that sentence short for some reasons.

I means if that can squeeze the top off, they just open the lid normally

Presumably to stop the soother falling on the floor when the kid spits it out. Looks like it will only work when he or she is on the bed...would also take the risk of a dirty soother over the risk of the kid strangling itself any day so not really a great life hack!

I thought I might have been to keep it off the ground. Or maybe to stop losing it.
But I had no idea if these were problems that needed fixing or not

Not sure if it actually works on all types of pint glasses, but if it does it's also handy for turning a pint glass into a container for the fridge.

I wouldn't trust it tbh. The pressure build up from the carbonation would just pop it off. It'd be handy for covering your Pint when you went to the toilet though.

Its not like you are brewing beer in it, so you would want to shake the hell out of it to release enough glass.

They had covers on plastic glasses in some venue I was in, possibly 3 arena. They also had pint holders before I saw the caps, so you could carry 4 pints in one hand. I was amazed at the holders till I copped on I had seen them decades before in mcdonalds. Was similarly thinking the pint glass caps were genius and copped they have been in mcdonalds etc as long as I can remember.

Or just buy these bad boys! They come with the HTC One M7 & M8, and were Beats before Dre bought them and changed all the parts for cheap sheite. Never fall out, never tangle, and the best sound from any in-ear headphones i've ever had!

This works if you are competent and know the risks. But you risk short circuits, especially if you put in big balls of it like the photo above.

Not sure if the ones in the photo above are further apart than normal. If the device is moved they obviously risk shifting out of place.

You know those plastic bags you get in Lidl and other supermarkets for putting your fruit and veg in? Specifically, those with handles like these:

They're so full of static it usually takes ages to open them, and they're very annoying. Well, I discovered that the easiest, fastest way to open them is to work on the handles and not on the centre of the bag. Two seconds at most and you're good to go, as opposed to be spending ages doing this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjMtxY9GKbM

(45 seconds in, approx.)

I still haven't found a solution for the other kind, unfortunately.

Ever bought a pair of shoes but they turned out to be slightly too big and you were unable to return them for whatever reason. Take an insole out of an old pair of shoes an put over the insole of your new pair to make them a smaller fit.

I know I'm responding to an older post, but there is a product out for this.

Shoesizers.com

can reduce shoe size by 1/4, 1/2 or 3/4 of a size.
