Problem: How to build a deck railing
Count how many posts you will need.
Your deck might already be supported by posts, especially if it is covered. If not, you'll need to install these so that there will be something to support the railings. OPTIONS:
- The taller your deck is, the more posts you'll need to install. You can prepare the posts according to your deck width and height.
- Plan to evenly space posts around the perimeter of your deck, such as every 6 feet (1.8 m). Keep in mind that some posts may be larger if they're going to have a gate attached or support stair handrails.
- Estimate how many posts you will need and number them according to the size of your deck. You can also write down your estimated size of posts from this example.
- Learn to measure your railing's length. You may want to first measure the width of your deck to see how much overhang there will be around it.

Answer: Plan to evenly space posts around the perimeter of your deck, such as every 6 feet (1.8 m). Keep in mind that some posts may be larger if they're going to have a gate attached or support stair handrails.

Problem: How to take legal action when assaulted by a retail worker
Call the police.
Either you or a witness may want to call the police immediately. If you believe you are in immediate danger of continued assault, call 911. OPTIONS:
- Medical professionals should be contacted to provide assistance if you become overly concerned about your health. You can also seek an ambulance if you believe you are being assaulted.
- Otherwise, find a non-emergency number for the nearest precinct. If you're injured, you may want to seek medical treatment before you report the incident to the police, unless the injuries are minor.
- Wait for the arresting officer to come over and pick you up. When an officer arrives, remain still until a warrant has been issued and you are arrested.
- Sometimes it is better to have a plan in place than to wait around and miss out. Whatever seems more feasible, calling the police is the only way you will know for sure.

Answer: Otherwise, find a non-emergency number for the nearest precinct. If you're injured, you may want to seek medical treatment before you report the incident to the police, unless the injuries are minor.

Problem: How to press tofu
Determine if you need to press the tofu at all.
Silken tofu does not need pressing, as it is softer and used more often in blended dishes. Firm and extra firm tofu almost always needs to be pressed, as it's density allows it to keep more water when cooking. OPTIONS:
- Press the tofu to incorporate it into a blend. The difference between firm and semi firm tofu will depend on the brand and make.
- For more delicate, more traditional tofu recipes, however, pressing may be necessary. Firmness is measured in pounds or more in grams.
- On the flip side, tofu that fits tightly into the microwave doesn't need pressing at all. For example, cheese or bread is lightly covered in tofu to withstand in the microwave.
- Whether or not to press tofu depends, more often than not, on how you plan to cook it : Blending, mixing, or raw: don't press. Frying, grilling, baking: press as much water out as possible.
Answer: Whether or not to press tofu depends, more often than not, on how you plan to cook it : Blending, mixing, or raw: don't press. Frying, grilling, baking: press as much water out as possible.
