Ive cleaned my ears using qtips after every shower since I was 10. Never had a problem. I had my doctor have a look and he didnt see any wax.

Tl;dr : qtips are good

How often do you clean your ears? That is just amazing! 🫠

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?

Can't tell if its too much. Where's the banana for size reference?

Mildly disgusting

Dont use q-tips to clean your ear. Whenever you have symptoms of decreased hearing or ear fullness on either one of your ear, i suggest you proceed to a doctor and have it professionally cleaned. Earwax sometimes harden and it needs to be softened up before extraction. Hope you're well.

Maybe a little on the small side but I think most would agree it’s average

It really is no joke for some people. Eg, I’m only in my mid-40s but have a neuromuscular disorder and walk with a cane. Even with the cane those two steps would be very tricky for me deal with, without the handrail.

I would need to use that. Any kind of step and I have to pull myself up. I really hate curbs.

Still not up to fire code in most places though. Hand rails have to be closed to the wall to avoid hooking clothing, purses and backpacks.

Safety compliance is serious business

34-38” here in California

36 inches

On any staircase. Correct. The baseboard is actually the best explanation of how the rail should be designed in this pic. 12 inches left and right of the diagonal portion is where the flat areas should extend. The whole rail should be about 34 inches high

Code requirements for these handrails would call for the rail to break at the top nosing and 1 tread past the bottom nosing then go straight for 12 inches at both top and bottom. Most likely this is an old building that has not changed ownership since code was updated, meaning no one has been required to check it.

You laugh, but someone made that necessary.

code requirement. had to be there because the steps
