who only by moving can balance

I'm not going to get to them in the near future, and also I am extremely aware that this is a very large topic, but for some reason (... the same reason I'm currently limited in my ability to take in new information...) I am currently thinking a lot about page layout and font choice and scientific illustration and all that sort of thing, so: do you have any favourite resources on the topic?

(Also: I am totally failing to scrape together the brain to hunt down guidance on Best Practice when it comes to choice of font size for data tables in long documents, but if you have thoughts on that and the extent to which just throwing my hands up and setting everything to \scriptsize I would be very grateful in a much more immediate sense.)

1. Vegan waffles. What do? We've tried this recipe with almond milk and it stuck to the waffle iron hideously, even greased; we reduced the sugar some and it stuck less, but still stuck. We are a bit reluctant to Invest in flax seed etc etc etc so would be Interested In Your Recommendations. Our default eggs-and-dairy waffles are smitten kitchen's & very happy with them we are, too.

2. Bathroom grout. PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME THE WAY OF THE BATHROOM GROUT. It seems to me that living in a hard-water area there is Nothing One Can Do to stop it getting grotty, and if one scrubs it it... scrubs off... and needs replacing... and is even grottier in the meantime... and I am intimidated and dismayed by all of this, basically, but I want to learn how to Fix It and indeed if there is any way to stop the problem arising in the first place. (Presumably a better option than scrubbing the scale is to apply descaler and then very gently & tenderly remove it when the sponge side of a sponge?) (In related news: turns out I was avoiding cleaning the bath because I felt A Moral Obligation to use up the Open Bottle Of Bath Stuff, of uncertain vintage and provenance, in spite of the fact that I was allergic to it, resulting in... never cleaning the bath... until I peremptorily summoned A in the middle of a shower last week to Request that he tell me to be Sensible. Bath: now clean.)

3. ... oh right that was my third How Adulting question: I have some hiking trousers that have unhemmed themselves & torn a bit. I've stuck the hem back up with the ironing webbing Stuff (i.e. got A to do it when I got scared of the iron) but I also want... to do it a bit of a hem... and I'm intimidated. I have access to a basic sewing machine and also a desire to learn some hand-sewing principles. Advice & guidance?

Say, hypothetically, you have a MediMemo pill organiser. Say that one of your lids is cracking, and you've previously established that superglue doesn't work, but you'd prefer to replace a single lid than buy (another) whole new set, but using one of your spare lids won't work because you don't have a spare lid for the relevant day of the week and you're That Kind Of Person.

... erm.

Okay, so, you've measured up the lid, and you've established that it's 1.5mm thick all the way along, and other than that broadly a long thin rectangle: 92mm long, with three sections 17mm, HAHAHAHAmm, and 20mm wide.

The HAHAHAHA section is 17mm wide at the top surface and 18mm at the bottom, giving you a trapezoid cross-section.

I am poking at Blender (and goodness but this is Up There with complex but inadequately documented software I Have Known) but I suspect the 3D printers I have access to are not going to be very happy about the required resolution, even if I manage to coax Blender into giving me three rectangles of varying widths and then gently sand the middle section's edges down to triangles. I have limited patience for painstakingly cutting shapes out of plastic sheets and inevitably getting them wrong because my hands aren't steady enough.

Anyone fancy suggesting alternative approaches to solutions? Back of a postcard, etc etc. <3
