    Would "Don't touch!" be the scariest thing to read in Braille?

    In almost every two story home I've been in the stairs are right in front of the entry door. Given how common this is I've never been able to find a reason as to why this is, only that feng shui doesn't like it apparently.

    When we bought our house that was one requirement I had, no stairs as soon you open the door. We still bought a split level, a tri-level and the split stairs are in the middle of the house which I love. There are two sets of split stairs so I technically have 4 levels. It's different and that's what sold me on it.

    I don't blame you I'm not crazy about the look either but with how common it is I figured there has to be a reason why so many houses are built that way. The only thing I've come up with in my head is that in case of a fire, where visibility would be limited, it'd be easier to get down stairs and out of the house if you knew the front door was right at the bottom of the stairs.

    One of the things I loved about my house were the three staircases.

    Until I had to vacuum them. *kitten* stairs. *kitten* them so hard.

    I do hate the stair vacuuming but my vacuum died last week so I bought the Shark Professional vacuum Monday. The canister pops off and you have a long hose to do all that stuff with. I am anxious to try it. I put it together and that's as far as I got with it so far.

    Come over. I'll let you try it out on my stairs first. You know, just in case it ruins the stairs. Yours would still be safe.

    You are brilliant!

    Fantastic! I'd like to place an order for 48

    Deal, they're all going to run at different times though. It'll be like playing frogger anytime you go up or down your stairs.

    How about one to mow the lawn? And another to do the ironing.

    As popular as BattleBots was several years back you’d think we would’ve made more advancements in robot lawn mowing technology.

    My neighbor has one. Literally looks like a roomba.

    A device with a blade spinning at ≈300rpm and no real logic to avoid accidents.....Eh sounds like most people that use a lawnmower.

    I'll take a pic next time he leaves it out.

    Who would win this battle:

    A Roomba with a chainsaw attached to it

    vs

    Helen Keller with a gun

    How many rounds does the gun hold and does she get any extra magazines?
