The Extra Kitchen Storage Space You've Been Ignoring All Along - Tasting Table

If you have two appliances of similar sizes, such as a microwave and toaster oven, you can stack the smaller one on top of the larger one. This means that while they're taking up less counter space, you also don't have to constantly move them back and forth like you would if you stored one under the sink while not using it. They'll both be readily available, yet only take up half as much countertop space.

Why Every Cyclist Should Pay Up for a Quality MIPS Helmet

Spend the extra $25-$30 now; if your head ever hits the ground, you'll be glad you did. MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) adds a low-friction layer inside the helmet so your head can rotate slightly during an angled impact. That engineered slip helps reduce rotational stress on the brain-the kind that shows up in the real crashes most cyclists actually have. If my head ever meets asphalt again, I want MIPS between me and the ER.
