Do not Drink This
Any healthy food advocate tell you that sweet drinks are bad for your health. I myself do not consume Coca-Cola but this post is not about it. I just got knowledge that, while a lot of USA companies cut there business ties with Russia, Coca-Cola does not follow this path. At least that what I found on the TASS page. I am putting screen shot here, not link, because link works erratically.
If you in doubt of my finding please go search yourself. As soon as you confirm this fact stop buying Coca-Cola products. If you can't live without sweet drinks find the substitute. DO NOT DRINK COCA-COLA!
03/10/2022 Update. Looks like there are some changes. Here is link to BBC news:
"War in Ukraine: McDonald’s, Coca-Cola and Starbucks halt Russian sales."

Office Space

With the Help of a Soda Can Tab
I have several precision screwdrivers. They are from different vendors and have different length. All of them are of decent quality and deserve some good care. For screwdriver to be in service for a long time it is important to use them with proper match: right screwdriver for the right screw. To make selection of screwdriver easy I made myself the screwdriver stand.
- Several wooden pieces (made out of redwood)
- Ten soda can pull tabs.
- Long screw for wood.
