The yellow arrow points to a leather cord tied similar to a poacher's knot to have an end loop.

The red arrow are ends of an elastic string which passes through a hole (one for each end) in the leather.

I need to tie the elastic string ends in such a way to secure both the leather cord, and on itself so that when the elastic is pulled, it will not stretch. Also it should be hard but not impossible to untie.

Also it should not be too bulky.

My SO and I discussed that engagement rings shouldn't be expensive.

What should I look for in good value rings? Lab grown diamonds? Fake diamonds? gold? white gold? silver? platinum?

Also, what kind of cut? Moissante vs Lab grown?

On non-Inverter ACs, I only need to use the power input (e.g. 800W) to calculate my energy cost for a 12-hour usage. (800*12/1000 = 9.6kW-hr)

On Inverter ACs though, I know they don't operate at 100% all the time, and most of the time the only information I get is their cooling capacity (e.g. 1hp ≈ 746W) and their EER (e.g. 12.2 kJ/hW).

How do I use these to get a rough estimate of the energy cost?

Going to Tokyo next week, here's our itinerary:

Day 01 - arrival (afternoon), shibuya, donki , and golden guy

Day 02 - Disneyland

Day 03 - tsukiji market, temple, and teamlab

Day 04 - mt fuji, and ski

Day 05 - free day or harry potter

Day 06 - Free day/Departure (night)

Just wanted to ask if there are any non-obvious things we should take note of?

edit: I'll add some more information.

We'll be travelling in a big group (16+) and we'd prefer to not move hotels.

The itinerary is kind of empty because we'd probably spend a longer amount of time than usual in every spot because of how big our group is.

Personally, I prefer food, some sightseeing, and shopping (thrift and souvenir shopping) which I'll probably do on the free day. (I was thinking somewhere along the lines of Shimokitazawa?)

I'll add:

~~1. Are there any Horse Racing Tracks where we can watch near Tokyo? (is it open on weekends?) ~~ I found Tokyo Racecourse and OI Racecourse.

1. Do I need to book tickets for the Horse Race Tracks ahead of time?

From this post, I got the idea to remove and replace the wheels altogether using a hacksaw.

Here's what it looks like right now. My problem now is that I can't remove the leftover metal shaft from the caster wheel.

I've tried using some lubricant and hammering it with a screwdriver but it didn't budge.

Can I Blend Frozen Cooked Shrimp (with Skin) to Create a Soup?

I have these frozen shrimps (leftover from the holidays) and I don't know what to do with it.

I was thinking I blend it up, and some water and stuff and it'd be like a soup.

Do you think it'd be a good idea?

Why don't I just defrost and cook you say? because it's already overcooked.

Where's the best value Anime clothing merchandise stores in Tokyo?

Akihabara? Nakano Broadway? or some other place?

It'd be better if you specify the exact store as well because akihabara and nakano broadway are huge from what others have told me.

Also, I prefer minimalist design, it'd be better if the clothes don't scream "I am a weeb !!"

I have a bed that looks like this, doesn't have legs.

I was looking at bed risers, but they're aimed for beds with legs. Also, the risers make the bed rise too high for my needs.

I only need to make the bed rise for about 2-inches so I can use an overbed table like .

Do Alarms Turn Off Automatically After a Long Period of Time? (Android)

Here's the story. I went to a vacation overseas but still would like to receive sms. So I left my old phone back home with my sim and setup an sms forwarding stuff that automatically sends all my received sms to my email. (using Tasker and AutoMail since I already use those).

Unfortunately, I forgot to turn off my weekday alarm. I was wondering if the alarm turns off after some time that it wasn't dismissed (an hour? half a day? etc.) because I'm worried that my neighbor (we live in a condo) would go nuts if my phone is ringing 24/7 while I'm away.

Phone is on Android 10, LG G7 ThinQ, and the alarm app is Sleep As Android.

I Can't Drink Now Like I Used to a Few Years Ago (26M), is that Normal?

During college and a few years after (maybe til 23/24) I drank almost weekly and don't get drunk that easily. In terms of beers, maybe I get tipsy at about 6 and give up at 10.

But now, I drink 2 and I get tipsy, and maybe tap out at 4/5.

Is that normal?

Is there a site that has most if not all Line Webtoons?

If not, can you give me a list of sites to check out that has the Line catalogue. Thanks.
