  • Can you think of any now?

  • I remember an episode of Mythbusters where they tested this, and I found a neat website that claims to have the result of that test. ( https://mythbusters.fandom.com/wiki/Daddy_Long_Legs_Myth ). The result was that they could bite humans and pierce the skin, but the bite was not especially problematic.

    Searching for Mythbusters Daddy Long legs also brought up some YouTube suggestions from the episode, which was called Buried in Concrete. I haven't watched any yet but maybe the scene is somewhere.

  • Ecosia.org is what it redirects to, but yeah I've been using them for a couple of years now and it is nice to see some positive work being done!

  • Three questions about superpowers, which is the best, and which is the worst?

    Jump

  • Your list of drawbacks reminded me of a book series I read a few years ago called Super Powereds by Drew Hayes. The main premise is that some people have superpowers, but not everyone can control their powers. The people who don't have control are called Powereds, while the ones who can are called Supers. There are also some powers you mentioned and he has the characters use them in really intriguing ways (like one character that can heal people, but then later can inflict the same wounds on someone else). It was/is one of my favorite book series, and I would like to go back and read them again someday, which is not something I would say about many books. Here is a link to the authors website if you are interested: https://www.drewhayesnovels.com/superpowereds

  • I've used a razor for really stuck on bits on our glass top stove, but this cleaner also seems to do quite well: https://weiman.com/glass-cooktop-cleaner-polish

    For the razor, keep it at a shallow angle (I tend to go around 20 or 30 degrees above the stovetop), and keep a small amount of water on the surface. I usually have a damp rag that I wipe the razor and stovetop with occasionally during the scraping process, to remove the small pieces that come off.

    Also, if you are nervous about damaging the stovetop itself, maybe try something only lightly abrasive and warm water, and let the water work it's magic. (I see you have already tried this, so maybe that isn't helpful :/ ) From a chemistry perspective, salt water shouldn't exactly leave behind an insoluble residue, but IDK what else was cooking in the water.

  • What's your favorite unbelievable fact?

  • How often do you clean your home? Are there any techniques you use to reduce dust accumulation?

  • That's not as bad as I was expecting, but yeah extra cost is annoying. Thanks for the info about this!

  • Thanks, I will definitely spend some time looking into those! I saw some information about an additive for the water, and a special cleaning solution you are supposed to use. Do you have to order those regularly to keep it clean and running well?

  • Could you explain how this humidifier/air purifier works? I've wondered about the possibility of an air purifier that uses water rather than a "screen" but haven't seen anything. My wife and I both have allergies, and our house gets really dry in the winter so one small appliance to deal with both issues sounds like a nice solution.
