Sometimes, when I'm stressed, I need to do something crazy.
And so I start eating nuts.
Yes, I could run a marathon.
Eat a whole cow.
Invade Germany on my own.
Or just swim the Atlantic.
But I prefer eating nuts.
There's just one problem.
I'll explain.
Additional Stress

The problem is that, when I'm stressed, I can't open those nuts correctly.
All I get is mash.
You can't believe how much additional stress thàt gives me.
One Valve, One Washer

Today I feel better.
I managed to eat nuts without additional stress.
And so my stress level is getting down.
Wanna know?
All you need is a 40mm high pressure valve - so glad I got one laying around.
I hope the fire department has managed to stop that leak.
Whatever, get that valve and add a washer on one side to close the bottom.
That's all. Really.
Insert Your Nuts

Drop one nut in the valve, make a 90° turn and recover what once was a nut.
Maybe it'll be crushed, but with a little bit of practice you'll be able to crack those nuts like a boss.
And not like a plumber.
Easy.
