[@cee8mee]

@@7-ten Tape would work, but it can get gooey and migrate with gravity on warm surfaces like the wax melter. It will cover the annoying light, but if it *looks* like you put tape on it, and/or it slips down, and it gets your fingers tacky when you handle it there...that would be a fail. Tape is great in cool, dry, and hidden areas. I have some on a ridiculous 'power on' light for an extension cord. The blue light is unreasonably annoying, so I taped it and tucked it under the sofa. But this melter face is to be looked at, right on the front. I'd opt for a cleaner more heat resistant option.

Like the forward facing camera lens covers. Yes, I've seen them. Just about everyone has access to a sharpie, but light/lens covers cost money and have many of the same issues as tape. If you own many items with silly little lights, that could be worth it. The internet taught me how to disable the piezoelectric beep makers in most small appliances, but squirreling the lights isn't as cut and dry, or I'd do that, too.

[@Libri329]

The egg cracker has earned two permanent spots in my kitchen. For cooking, it never breaks the yolk and the shells always crack cleanly, so no shell bits to fish out. It’s simple, no fuss, and works every time. Winner! In addition, I now have a second one next to my sink filled with liquid dish soap. Little unusual, but it’s the perfect size small shallow container so I can easily dip my scrub brush into it and not fumble with the soap bottle every time I wash up.

Back in the day the locals in Mexico requested a lime with the bottle of beer so they could use the lime to clean the top of the bottle before they drank it. There was a chance that some mold may have grown on the bottle near the cap. Let's just say that the production machines were not like they are now. But it was not to ad flavor. But the tourists saw them doing it and copied them, thinking they were adding lime juice for flavor. Lol, not so much. But it did taste good and the tradition was born. Cheers!

[@christopherknerr2851]

There is actually a purpose for lime juice on the opening of the bottle. The citric acid is a natural antiseptic and kills bacteria and people have been doing it for much longer than it being a fad. The fact it actually adds flavoring to certain beers and beverages is a plus!

It's better to crack eggs on flat services. This should also help you do it one handed. Tap the egg on the flat part of your counter, use your thumb to gently squeeze the side of the egg and your fingers to separate the two halves. Index and middle for top and ring and pinky on the bottom. When tapping the egg, you want to crack the shell but not rupture the membrane. I want to see you pull this off in one of your videos.

[@freethebirds3578]

[@robonator2945]

eh, not really. Whether it's useful is down to the individual, but cost-wise it's a bit more complicated than just "IT PLASTIC, THAT MEAN IT CHEAP". High quality plastic isn't actually all that cheap, then factor in you're paying for food safety certifications, packaging, distribution, etc. and it's really not all that shocking. If I had to guess they're probably making a ~4usd margin including all direct and indirect costs, potentially less if the MSRP is lower than what was paid for here. (for instance MSRP of 9.99) That's not nothing since it's about a third of the total cost, but all things considered it's nowhere near bad. Even if you 3d printed it yourself with 100% infill which would not be food safe, dishwasher safe, and may melt on you if you set a hot spoon on it, you'd still be looking at probably 1-2usd+ worth of material alone. That would be a 10x cost reduction, but at that point the product can't even do it's job anymore since the materials and production methods your using just aren't fit to task. (not to mention that's sidestepping aaaaallll of the other costs, like distribution, certification, etc.)

Luckily my tire was fine and they were good enough to just off most of the cap to take it off without damaging the actual tire stem itself.

PSA for the egg cracker: professional chefs tell you not to crack your eggs on "edges" of things since that tends to push shell into the egg. This causes both small egg shell bits to get into the egg and for contamination outside of the shell to worm its way into the egg. Neither are big issues unless you are preparing raw or undercooked egg products, but I just found it funny that the egg cracker is basically the apotheosis of edges. It is nothing but edge. So if you're inclined toward the advice of professional chefs, this product is verboten.
