Hola, ayer compré dos máquinas de afeitado en Amazon. En ambas , al añadir el articulo al carrito, me salía que si quería comprar un seguro por daños accidentales (valor 1,19 euros, las máquinas costaban 60 euros cada una) para cubrir daños tipo que se te caiga, que se moje... Al ser Philips, tengo una garantía de 3 años (extendida a 5) y Amazon ofrece también algo.

Compré un seguro para una máquina y para la otra (que es solo recortadora) no. Esta mañana me he arrepentido y acabo de escribir a Amazon por chat, para saber si puedo comprar el seguro una vez hecho el pedido. Me dice que no.

Pero ahora es donde viene el lío. Me dice que no pero que bueno, que Amazon me ofrece 3 años de garantía legal. Que no entiendo entonces en qué se difetencia de la garantía de Philips. Si dentro de dos meses no va el motor de la máquina, hablo con Amazon y me lo reemplazan o devuelven el dinero, porque está en garantía (pero una garantía que pertenece a Philips, entiendo (?)).

Ahora, si mañana se me cae desde el lavabo y se raspa la máquina por fuera, eso es daño accidental, y por tanto es el que cubre el seguro ese de 1,19 euros.

El de Amazon me dice que no puedo comprarlo pero que tengo garantía con ellos; le digo que vale, pero que entonces qué diferencia hay entre garantía de Amazon y seguro por accidente (que la hay) y me responde con lo que pone en el seguro:

• ¿ESTA COBERTURA ES LA ADECUADA PARA TI? 2 años de cobertura frente a Daños Accidentales y Averías no cubiertas por la garantía. En caso de reemplazo, recibirás una tarjeta regalo de Amazon y el seguro finalizará.
• Disponible para residentes en España mayores de 18 años.
• Cancela dentro del plazo de 30 días para obtener un reembolso completo (si no has comunicado ningún siniestro). Después de este plazo, puedes obtener un reembolso parcial.
• Exclusiones principales: pérdida, robo, daños estéticos y no haber cuidado razonablemente del product

Ya me estaba desesperando y le he dicho: "No estamos llegando a ningún lado; no se puede comprar el seguro una vez comprada la máquina. Ok,no hay que darle más vueltas"

Y me contesta:

"Sí, el seguro accidental no se puede comprar después de realizar el pedido. Sin embargo, si tienes algún problema, puedes contactar con Amazon porque tenemos 3 año de garantía. Si esa garantía de 2 años tampoco se compra para el artículo y si está dañado o defectuoso, puedes contactarnos hasta 2029 y te ayudaremos

Solo estoy explicando que si no se compra el seguro accidental de 2 años para el artículo, no hay necesidad de preocuparse, tenemos la garantía de Amazon de 3 años"

Ya sé que tengo garantía pero si se me cae o si se me moja, no me lo solucionará Amazon. Pero me está dando a entender que bueno, que sí, que no he comprado el seguro pero que no me raye, Amazon lo cubre.

Entonces ¿por qué al añadir el producto al carrito te dicen que si quieres añadir un seguro por accidente si supuestamente Amazon va a cubrir cualquier problema?

Hola, hoy llamé al BBVA para ver qué pasaba con un pago fantasma que hizo mi tarjeta en un tpv de un comercio. Me dijeron que iban a dar la orden de devolución. Total que el saldo de mi tarjeta virtual es 2,47 euros, y en el listado de operaciones pone: 37,5 euros 'pendiente de categorizar'. Sé que cuando pagas, aparece como 'pendiente' la operación, y al cabo de los días desaparece ese 'pendiente' pero el cargo te lo hacen al momento exacto del pago. En un reembolso no sé como funciona, me jodería que fuera como me pasó una vez con Amazon, donde el argumento era que podría tardar hasta 14 días, luego pasaron esos 14 días y pasaron a ser 30... Aquí no me está reembolsando un comercio físico u online sino el propio banco, de ahí que no entienda el por qué de que no se materialice el reembolso al momento (y encima se ha hecho en viernes, habiendo fin de semana enmedio).

Ya aprovecho para preguntar si estas situaciones de mierd y problemas del primer mundo solo pasan con tarjetas prepago (virtuales, no existen en físico) o si contrato una Aqua (que ahora parece que es gratis, aunque el año pasado me cascaron 25 euros de mantenimiento sin haberla usado) me va a pasar lo mismo? Es que por ejemplo, ahora no puedo usar esa tarjeta para que luego no se pierda ese reembolso en un sinfin de operaciones posteriores, y que luego no sepa si se ha llegado a abonar esos 37,5 euros o no. Me parece un verdadero lío, de hecho ya sin querer he cargado la tarjeta y he gastado lo que he cargado (ahora dos operaciones 'por encima' del reembolso).

Hi, I'd like to ask which model is better among the Braun Series 7, Philips beard trimmer 5000, and Philips beard timmer 7000.

I know the Philips 7000 differs from the 5000 in its shaver heads and battery life. The hard part is choosing between Braun and Philips. I'm looking for a machine to maintain a 3-day stubble look. I can't grow a long beard because it doesn't grow in evenly.

Hola; sé que hay otro subreddits más específicos para cuidado personal y afeitado, pero es que la mayoría de opiniones procede de gente de otros países y entonces hay diferencias de marcas, precios...

Quiero aprovechar las ofertas de Amazon y no sé qué afeitadora comprarme para la cara.

La primera duda que tengo es si es mejor de las rectas, o de las que son tres círculos -rotatoria-. He tenido una de las de tres círculos (de 2016) y me irritaba un poco la cara.

Acotando marcas: Braun o Philips. Acotando un poco más: me quiero comprar la Phillips 7000 body and balls para el cuerpo, pero no la voy a usar para la cara. Eso que estoy viendo de que haya máquinas 12 en 1 me parece un poco quiero y no puedo. En plan, corta cuerpo, cara, ingles... No sé si al final de tanta función, no se especializa en la cara. Aunque estoy viendo que las únicas que tienen distintos cabezales para la barba son las de '7 en 1' '8 en 1'...

Las One Blade me llama la atención que dice la gente que cambian el recambio cada 4 meses. Los recambios valen carillos aunque en Carrefour he visto ofertas tipo 50% que vuelve, 2º unidad al 50%... No me hace gracia tener que cambiar cada dos por tres. Estoy viendo vídeos y el afeitado lo veo bien, pero lo mismo de tanto verla en tuits y en Reddit, no me convence del todo.

Querría una máquina que me deje el aspecto de barba de dos o tres días. Al cuarto día la barba no es homogénea y hay algunas calvitas, y conforme pasan los días se me ven las canas sueltas que tengo en la barbilla. Prefiero tener un aspecto de 'sombra' de barba y ya, por lo que tendría que ser una máquina que acepte cabezales o peines.

¿Alguna recomendación?

Hola. Hoy he ido a comprar al super de una cadena española también inglesa (ya vosotros adivináis). Total que estaba en el autopago pasando dos cajas de cereales pero he visto que una estaba un poco maltratada y, como soy tiquismiquis, le he dicho al muchacho que si podía ir a por otra, pero me ha dicho que si quería, pagase primero y luego la cogía para no entorpecer el proceso. He cogido mi ticket, me he llevado la caja maltratada y he ido a por otra caja nueva.

Le pregunto al muchacho: '¿la tengo que escanear o algo?' y me dice que no, y le digo 'es que ahora me va a pitar' ´ (por no haberla escaneado en el autopago). Y me dice que no, que eso no tiene alarma.

El caso es que hace una semana, estaba una cajera haciendo un pedido online y salió de la caja dirección al autopago con chorizo al vacío creo que era, pero por fuera del supermercado, y empezó a pitar el arco que tiene cada caja.

Entonces no entiendo: ¿alarman unos productos y otros no?

Hi everyone. For a while now, I've had white hairs growing on my chin and the area right below my mouth. Also, when I let my beard grow, it doesn't look even on the sides—some spots are patchier than others. Because of this, I have to shave every 5 or 6 days. It's like: 'let's go with the beard' and then 'I hate this let's shave all my face'. It's a non-stop internal battle between how I’d like my face to look and how bad I actually think I look afterward.

I only look decent around day 2 or 3, when my face has that "shadow" of new growth but it’s not long enough for the gray hairs to show.

So I was wondering if anyone could recommend a Philips trimmer (I say Philips because the other main option is Braun, and I think Philips has higher ratings/sales on Amazon) that can give me this exact result.

I have nothing against beards or gray hair (It's just that they're stray white hairs with absolutely no aesthetic sense to them); for the last ten years, I've been using one of those Philips rotary shavers (the ones with the three circles) that didn't come with adjustable guards.

Hi, I’ll try to summarize but it's difficult because I have to put in context. I studied architecture and this girl had a normal behaviour; I liked that she was quirky, indie, and we always got along. And a bit crazy but that was cool because we were 18 and life was different, we were discovering the University, another city (Seville, Spain). She was from another city and I was from another province in Spain.

The first year we took all the same classes, but for the other five years we only saw each other around campus ( because everyone goes at their own pace or enrolls in different classes). But you know, in Architecture was like a bubble, it was like a big house where all people knew each other and talk on the public spaces and so.

During our final year, casually we started going out together at night to a club where we had such an amazing time. Honestly, you could say that at night we functioned great, but during the day we both had our own responsibilities. Some nights she acted strange and would suddenly want to leave the club; other times, I had to go out by myself... College ended and I had to move back to my hometown. That's when we stopped seeing each other.

I went back to that town 4 times in 2011. One day, I went back to hang out with her, and on our way back from the club, she suddenly told me, "Don't touch me, don't touch me!" It completely threw me off. And she kept saying, "Don't touch me!"—but I wasn't even touching her! (Plus, I’m gay, and she knows it). Anyway, we stayed in touch via WhatsApp for a while, but there came a point where we just stopped talking.

Two years passed and we reconnected (2012,2014,2016...) I have to say that she never gave up and kept on texting me. She kept writing to me as if we had never stopped seeing each other; there was a certain chemistry or closeness between us.

However, during those years I was in a bad place due to unemployment and loneliness, so I always ended up ghosting her because I don't like long-distance friendships; we didn't even make the effort to see each other. Another two years went by, and she reached out again, but it was the same story: she ended up draining me mentally, texting me non-stop.

By the time the pandemic was around the corner, we planned to meet up in the city where we went to college. But then the pandemic hit and everything fell through. Around that time, she started telling me things like, "They have it out for me," or "They hate me." I would ask, "Who?" and she’d reply, "Everyone." I’d ask, "But what’s going on?" and she’d answer, "I know they're talking about me, I just know it." She’d tell me, "I’m sick of people," and I figured she meant people in her town or something. I didn’t pay much attention to it, and she never explained who "they" were anyway. She also had issues at work due to harassment from her boss. I don’t know what happened, but she was driving me crazy because every single day it was: "What are you doing?" and then two hours later, "What are you doing?" We were in the middle of a pandemic, I could barely handle my own life, so I blocked her.

Two years later, she called me. I didn't pick up. She also texted me saying she missed me; I ignored it. But last week she reached out again and I felt bad. I thought about explaining everything so she would understand that I didn't stop talking to her out of malice, but because I wasn’t doing well—unemployed, living at my parents' house... which makes me feel a bit cringed out whenever people find out about my life. I wanted her to understand.

But her very first audio message was: "Hey, how are things? I haven't heard from you, I'm at this place doing whatever..." And then she goes: "As you might know, I have a psychotic illness, and I wanted you to confirm that you don't just know me from our past relationship, and promise me that you don't know anything about people playing a prank on me." I was just like, "What? What did she just say?" (She had never mentioned psychosis to me before). Trying not to lead her on—to avoid getting sucked back into her texting me all day—I played it cool.

She told me she is sick, that she feels like people are insulting her, and that the radio speaks to her. I honestly thought it was a joke. I told her, "Well, the radio thing sounds kind of cool," and she snapped back, "No, not at all, it’s a total violation of my privacy. Things should be said to my face, or at least in a direct message. They've hurt me so much, they wanted to screw me over and they succeeded. They are trash, I’ll never understand it." So I asked, "But wait, who?" and she said, "I don't know how to explain it to you, but they insult me and I'm ashamed of them because they are bad people." A bit later she told me, "You know what? I don't give a sh*t what they say, people disgust me." She also mentioned she had gone to the ER because she was having auditory hallucinations.

Then she kept telling me she wasn't happy, that she felt suffocated, that she was sick and tired of everything, and that she’s happiest when she's alone listening to music. She’d had a boyfriend for two and a half years, and in fact, during those years I noticed she changed her profile picture every day, posing in different places with him. Yet she told me she wasn't proud of her boyfriend. She said the person she felt safest talking to was me (even though by 2023 we hadn't spoken in three years and hadn't seen each other in ten) and that she only trusts me and one other friend. Then she mentioned that the other friend has gone MIA. She said she doesn't trust anyone and has accepted that she has barely anyone to talk to, so talking to me is enough. Since I had snooped on her Facebook and saw pictures of her hanging out with people and having friends in her hometown, I told her not to say that, that I was sure she had plenty of people around. But she insisted no, that she didn't trust anyone, and that people were disgusting. It went on like this the whole time. I hadn't spoken to this girl in three years, and I got overwhelmed because I was dealing with a form of depression myself (which I actually still have) over not having a job or a future. I don't really use WhatsApp, and this girl was constantly spamming me with messages, making it impossible to focus on building my portfolio. One day my phone buzzed, and the text just read: "They are all sons of b*tches."

So by this time, in 2023, when she went through that crisis she had, one day she told me: "The medication makes me dizzy. Can you lend me 50 euros, please?" (she didn't tell me why). In the end, I blocked her. I unblocked her in 2024 and she texted me; I asked her how she was doing and she said: "In bed almost all day. On weekday mornings I go out for a walk // I really want to see you!!!" I asked her if it was that serious and she told me: "No, no, I'm in bed because I have no strength // the insults crush me."

Then she told me: "Let's plan a weekend in X place, I'll pay, but come." (she can go out on weekends). I asked her how she was going to pay, and she said: "I don't care // really." We stopped talking; in 2025 she tried to add me on LinkedIn. I created a Telegram account for a discount coupon and she messaged me immediately.

My flaw is that I forget things, so I always forget why I blocked her (the toxicity), and I’ve always felt remorse for ghosting her, but I ALWAYS explained to her that I wasn't doing well, and she never cared or respected that. I AlwAYS told her: look, I'm felling bad with my life, I even had a car accident, I don't know what to study again, I don't know this I don't know that I feel sh*t about my life... And she seemed to understand but later she kept on with her world like: what are you doin'? "Good morning" (she texted me for a while every single morning: "good morning" and I was like oh my gosh every single morning we haven't seen each other for an eternity :SS:

I am someone who listens, who can give decent advice, and I don't have a malicious bone in my body. If I were her, I would have told myself to screw off because of the ghosting. But my personal situation is sh*t, I barely talk to anyone (so I've lost my social skills), and suddenly I'm faced with her situation, which throws me off psychologically.

I know she went to a psychiatrist and does Zoom sessions with a psychologist. Back in 2023, she kept telling me to visit her for a weekend, that she wanted us to go out like the old days, and so on... It's like she is reverting and clinging to a friendship from years ago, thinking we are going to relive it or live in the same city. And since I am lonely too, my mind plays tricks on me and makes me think I need to rebuild or strengthen this friendship—it's a bit of a mess.

I blocked her, but two months ago (now in 2026), she texted me from a new phone number she got for her business, sending a link to her website. I didn't reply. This past Sunday I had a missed call from her, and yesterday she called me again. I asked for advice on a forum, and they told me there is nothing I can do for her, that only specialists and family can help, that she is going to consume what little energy I have left, and that I need to cut off all communication, even if it hurts. I feel guilty, but I guess because it's paranoid schizophrenia, she isn't aware of reality (?) Seriously, during our college years, I never saw anything like this in her. She is a person I will probably never see again because we live three hours apart, and trying to maintain a friendship like this is crazy. All of us friends from college have accepted this reality, but it seems she hasn't. I feel guilty for not talking to her, but I think if I do, it will just be the same toxic dynamic all over again, and I’ll just end up blocking her anyway.

Hi, I'd like to ask if anyone could recommend a Philips or Braun machine for the groin, balls, and anus.

For now, I'm ruling out the OneBlade because I’ve read several tweets over the last few months from people complaining about cutting themselves (though others said they probably just used the machine wrong).

I should mention that it's been a loong time since I've been intimate with anyone, and I don't think I will be anytime soon; meaning, this isn't really for aesthetics or functionality—it's strictly for comfort and hygiene. I live in Spain where it's currently 86°F at night, I spend many hours sitting in front of the PC, and I end up totally sweaty down there, even when wearing really short shorts.

I'm a bit overwhelmed because I see so many Philips models (7-in-1, 11-in-1, 17-in-1...) and Braun has 12-in-1 models too... I have read that Norelco models are pro, but they're expensive too... There's Phillips body and balls, for instance.

My biggest fear is cutting myself, but I don't know if I'm going to end up doing it anyway with any model.

Hi everyone. I wanted to ask for some handheld vacuum recommendations. My mom has her own vacuum and it has an attachment to use it as a handheld, but I think it’s better if I just buy my own.

In my room, I have quite a few Ikea cardboard boxes (I collect figures and some toys that I don't open from the box). I mean the 50% of my room is: Ikea cardboard boxes :S Also, my computer tower is a place that usually gets filled with a ton of dust, and I never clean it for months.

Today, for example, some bricklayers cut two floor tiles and a fine dust got in under my bedroom door.

It made me wonder if cardboard boxes absorb that fine dust, and if there is any vacuum that can remove it (as much as possible, or at least the dust) with a flat attachment.

In my country (Spain -there's no Spain option when adding the flag to the post ), I think the brand I see the most on Amazon is Cecotec. There are other brands that only pop up once like SLOKSFil, Yomile, or Aigostar (which sounds sketchy), so I guess the brand to go with would be Cecotec. Like I said, it would just be for my home office and my bedroom, not for big spaces, but rather tight spaces or nooks and crannies (besides the floor) or the surface of the boxes.

Hola. Esta mañana, en un comercio, he comprado artículos por valor de 37,55 euros. He cargado mi tarjeta con 40 euros (VIS A virtual de BBVA), he pagado con el contactless, y al momento aparece la notificación de BBVA: pago aceptado: 37,55 con su tarjeta terminada en ***. Y la notificación de Wallet: Prenatal SA. group 37,55 euros.

Me dice la mujer que no le aparece en el ordenador. Le enseño las notificaciones, abro la app del banco y aparece: -37,55, y mi tarjeta con el saldo restante (que eran unos 11 euros). Dice que a ver si he pagado desde la web noséqué, total que ya me dice el encargado que pague otra vez que se me cancela solo el otro pago. Y me quedo en plan: es que tengo que cargar otra vez el importe, y a mí me va a aparecer dos cargos de 37,55, cómo justifico yo ese doble cargo. Una cola detrás mía de gente queriendo pagar, yo sin saber qué hacer (porque luego hay que estar llamando al BBVA, reclamando, esperando...) Total que no me quedaba otra que pagar otra vez.

He pagado otra vez y sí se ha reflejado en su ordenador y le ha salido el ticket . Me ha argumentado que, si hubiera pagado dos veces, le hubieran salido 2 tickets. Total que salgo de la app, entro, y me desaparece un cargo de 37,55 y mi tarjeta con saldo 51 euros. Ok, se ha revertido uno de los pagos; genial.

Voy a otro comercio que está al lado, pago de nuevo con el contactless, y ahora en la app me sale otra vez el cargo de 37,55 y mi saldo de 51 euros desaparecido (me he gastado en Carrefour 4 euros guarros).

He vuelto al primer comercio a comprar otras cosas, he pagado 21 euros, a la primera ha aceptado el pago.

He llamado a BBVA y me dice que sí, que se ha cobrado dos veces, pero que sale 'pendiente' y que hay que esperar 3 días hábiles para que aparezca como completado, que entonces se podrá reclamar al comercio ese cobro.

La duda es: ok, tiene razón la de la tienda, le habrían salido dos tickets si hubiera recibido dos pagos míos. Pero entonces, ¿cómo es que mi banco/ app me ha cargado esos 37,55 euros? ¿Qué es lo que ha podido pasar?

Hi, I live in western Spain, where right now we are experiencing temperatures over 40 degrees (104°F) for several days -and this is just the end of spring-. The nights are tropical and it’s very hard to sleep, and during the morning and afternoon, there’s a constant feeling of fatigue and a lack of concentration. This is starting to become a regular thing; even some European countries like France are seeing temperatures twenty degrees higher than normal.

Right now, I'm in a phase where it's either finish a portfolio and wrap up some projects, or I'll have to change careers entirely. Because of that, I need to operate under high levels of pressure.

I lower the blinds (I don't know if in other countries you have blinds, in Spain is the way to protect windows from Sun) to block the outside light, only to find that I can't see the paper well enough to draw, or that the darkness just makes me sleepy.

My productivity is non-existent. I'm struggling to make simple decisions, even when it comes to geometric composition, for example. And even though I break the illustration down into 'sectors' (it's a series of illustrations based on a grid), at the end of the day, I still haven't met my goals. This is not an issue of 3 or 4 days, it's going to be a situation of 2 months of extreme heat.

Given this, does anyone have any advice for creating? Beyond just having an air conditioning unit, any attempt to draw an illustration becomes a challenge, and the mind ends up escaping, resorting to doomscrolling or doing other things.

Hi, some circus posters were recently put up on the streets in my town. They are A3 size (approx. 11.7 x 16.5 inches) and were held up with adhesive tape across the corners (practically diagonally, just on the corners). Now that the circus has left, I took 3 of the posters from the street and carefully removed the tape.

The problem is that all the areas where the adhesive used to be are now completely sticky. Because of this, I can't stack them on top of each other for storage, nor can I place a piece of paper over them for protection. I keep touching the corners with my finger hoping the stickiness will go away, but all I'm going to achieve is covering them in my fingerprints. How could I reduce or get rid of this stickiness?

I'm trying with talcum podwer but, when I remove the talcum powder, the sticky part becomes more noticeable. If I scratch it with my nail, it looks a bit messy.

Hola. Estoy planteando estudiar una oposición (ni idea de cuál). La cuestión es que, en mi casa (la de mis padres) existen ruidos de manera puntual que no sé si acabarían volviéndome cucu.

Parto de la consideración de que una oposición es una carrera de fondo, que hay que abstraerse, tomárselo en serio... Pongamos que dispongo de todo el tiempo del mundo (desempleado) y que estoy en casa de mis padres, con lo cual no tengo obligaciones más allá de las propias de alguien de mi edad.

Ahora viene la problemática. El vecino de arriba tendrá unos 80 años. Su hijo vivió con él desde antes de la pandemia, y se trajo su perro (cruce de labrador). Con él ladraba poco cuando alguien entraba a su casa. El hijo murió de un infarto, y el padre se quedó con el perro. El perro no sale de casa más que todos los días de 10,30 a 10.50. Por lo que, cuando viene la que le limpia la casa, al sonar el telefonillo, empieza a ladrar desesperadamente. Cuando llega del ascensor la señora, lo mismo, 8 minutos ladrando. Vuelve, lo mismo, algún ladrido. Cuando ella está limpiando, puntualmente algunos ladridos para que le hagan caso.

Para dimensionar un poco la magnitud del sonido, si yo estoy en el vestíbulo del edificio, se escucha al perro ladrar si tienen la puerta abierta (planta 9).

Esto se reitera cada vez que llama alguien a su telefonillo o timbre.

Aparte, la señora se pone a limpiar las habitaciones y arrastra las camas.

Podréis pensar: joder, es un momento lo que ladra, ¿tanto te afecta? Tengo que decir que llevo así 4 o 5 años, porque he estado o formándome o haciendo proyectos desde casa. Estar en casa para mí es como un lugar que se me hace inhóspito, de tanto tiempo que llevo pinchado aquí sin pena ni gloria. Pudiera ser que tenga algo de hipersensibilidad también, aunque por ejemplo, vivo justo al lado de una vía de 4 sentidos que atraviesa Badajoz, y toda mi vida he estudiado en la habitación y no ha pasado nada. Ahora tengo la ventana abierta, pasan los coches, y es un sonido que está interiorizado. El ladrido desesperado y continuo de un perro, no lo soporto.

(El hombre no va a hacer nada porque ya le dijo un día a mi madre sin que ella dijera nada: "a ve, yo entiendo que el perro moleste, pero..." Aparte de que hubo una época que la cuidadora de su difunta mujer daba por cu** con la tabla de la plancha y las camas, se lo dije y me contestó mal).

Por la mañana es cuando la mente está más fresca, más despierta... Y a mí esos ladridos ya me joden la mañana, porque es una situación que estás tan tranquilo y ya pierdes el hilo. Me pongo de mal humor, me da asco todo, y ya por la tarde me siento cansado.

Estoy a la espera de que bajen de precio los SONY WF 500 NSA, que tampoco son gran cosa para cancelación de ruido activo. Me ponía unos SONY WF 500C y se camuflaba bien, pero tenía que estar con un ruido blanco toda la mañana y acababa con los oídos cansados de ese grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr continuo. Está la opción de irme a la biblioteca, pero es que me distraería con cualquiera que pasara (sí, está el ruido rosa, marrón... pero es lo mismo, tener ahí un 'ruido' continuo en tus orejas).

No sé si alguien que haya tenido problemas de ruido podría decirme si merece la pena ponerme a estudiar o va a ser una batalla perdida. Necesito estar psicológicamente bien y tengo muchas dudas de si voy a conseguirlo en estas circunstancias.

Hi, I have an illustration on 300g laid paper. I bought a new utility knife and a new ruler, and I started cutting the edges. The problem is I don't know how to do it right.

Option A: place the ruler over the illustration and cut outwards (from the ruler toward the outside of the format).

Option B: place the ruler outside the format and cut inwards toward the illustration.

As you can see in the photo (in my first comment) on the right, in just one border I'm getting a strange edge from applying pressure with the knife (I think is because the pressure and the weigh of the paper). The problem is that if I don't apply pressure, the knife doesn't cut and I have to pass it again (with the risk of not cutting exactly along the same line)

Another question is how to use the ruler; I struggle to control it too. If my format is 21 cm, how do you hold the ruler correctly with one hand so it doesn't move while making the cut? It always moves a bit
