Why are soft drinks called soft drinks?
Soft drinks are called soft drinks because they do not contain any alcohol, making them non-alcoholic beverages.

Why is the floor so soft and weird after painting?
The floor may feel soft and weird after painting because the paint fumes can create a tacky or sticky residue on the surface. This residue can make the floor feel different than usual and may take some time to fully dry and harden. Additionally, if the paint is not fully cured, it can transfer onto the floor when stepped on, causing it to feel soft or sticky. It is important to allow the paint to fully dry and cure before walking on it to avoid any damage or strange textures.

Why is the floor so soft and strange after painting?
The floor may feel soft and strange after painting because the paint fumes can create a tacky or sticky feeling on the surface. This is especially common with oil-based paints, which take longer to dry and can leave a residue on the floor. Additionally, if the paint was not properly mixed or applied, it can result in an uneven or textured finish that feels unusual underfoot. It's important to allow the paint to fully cure and dry before walking on it to avoid any damage or discomfort.

Do you have any tips for drawing with soft pastels?
When drawing with soft pastels, it's important to work from light to dark colors to avoid smudging lighter colors with darker ones. Use a light touch and layer colors gradually to build up depth and texture in your drawing. Experiment with blending techniques such as using your fingers, blending stumps, or brushes to achieve different effects. Additionally, consider using a fixative spray to help set the pastels and prevent smudging once your drawing is complete.

How do you design a terrace on soft clay soil?
When designing a terrace on soft clay soil, it is important to take into consideration the potential for soil movement and settling. To address this, it is essential to conduct a thorough soil investigation to understand the soil's characteristics and behavior. Additionally, the terrace design should incorporate proper drainage systems to prevent water accumulation and soil saturation, which can lead to further soil movement. Furthermore, using lightweight construction materials and techniques, such as helical piers or soil stabilization methods, can help mitigate the potential impact of the soft clay soil on the terrace structure.
