Water is best served room temperature, not ice cold. Do not @ me
It can, baby. Welcome to the light. And guess what, the experts agree. Martin Riese, the preeminent water sommelier, agrees that water is best served at room temperature.

“When you put ice cubes on your palate you’re numbing all the aromas,” he said. “You can’t really taste anything anymore. Therefore, please drink you water [at] room temperature. It’s way better. It’s tastier.”

IKEA LACK Table Becomes Extremely Affordable DIY Copy Stand
A copy stand is a tool used to capture images of photos, artwork, books, and things of a similar nature. It holds a camera perpendicular to a large and flat surface, upon which the subject rests.
They are handy, but there’s no need to spend a lot when [BlandPasta]’s DIY copy stand based on a cheap IKEA LACK table can be turned into an economical afternoon project with the help of simple hardware and a few 3D printed parts.
The main structure comes from a mixture of parts from two LACK tables: one small and one normal-sized. A tabletop is used as the bed, and the square legs make up the structural parts with the help of some printed pieces. A threaded rod combined with some captive hardware provides a way to adjust the camera up and down with a crank, while one can manually slide the horizontal camera mount as needed to frame the subject appropriately.
