Reply to TIL that, to prove that a jellyfish caused Irukandji syndrome, a scientist stung himself, his son, and a lifeguard with the jellyfish. by SabreYT

I watched something a long time ago about some people who were researching these tiny jellyfish. They always had protective gear but while taking off their suit there was one stuck to it and they got stung. I remember seeing the woman writhe from the waves of pain it caused. They gave her morphine and it didn’t help. Here

I can’t imagine knowing this and letting anyone go through it, even someone you hated. He did that to his son for science. Awful.

Edit: The actual video I was referring to was posted by u/RedditMayne

Reply to Insulation around Microwave hood vent by RatArmy

After our vent was installed by our contractor’s assistant, we noticed a lot of cold air even with the insulation and silicone they used. Eventually I found that the outside vent flap wasn’t closing properly and it was noticeable on cold, windy days. I bought a vent with a magnetic flap that doesn’t rely on springs to close and it works really well now.
