Does anyone know what the little square plastic mat thing is at airports just as you get to security screening (but before you get to the point where you take off your shoes, etc.). It's located right when they first check your boarding pass. You stand on the mat and something lights up usually with a green arrow. Is it there for a reason? Or just to make sure you aren't a ghost or something?
Outside of immediate icing and possibly burn gel, is there a method to prevent or reduce blistering from a burn?
You're actually not supposed to use ice on burns. The ice can cause frost bite effects which will actually damage the tissue further. Cool water is much better.

They're hooked up to a computer that's supposed to be programmed to select random people for screening to eliminate the complaint of profiling. Can't speak for other airports but I've seen them in use extensively at Pearson Airport and they appear to function exactly that way.

Yeah it was cold water. I learned that icing wounds can cause frostbite after frostbiting a sprained ankle as a kid. Icing was quicker to type.

What's the best way to remove a very tiny stripped screw in a very delicate location?
Eyeglass frames sized screw? The threads are stripped, or the head?
If its the head, you can sometimes cut a groove in the top and then use a flathead to take it out. Basically use a file or exacto knife and cut back and forth until it's deep enough. If the threads are stripped, try to find a small drill and carefully drill it out.

Head. It's in a laptop. The file/hacksaw/flathead method is out.
I'm too paranoid to drill. Those are both methods I've used on bigger, less delicate stuff. I was hoping there was another trick to tiny electronics.
It doesn't bother me at all, I've eaten outside before, always thought it was kinda neat. Just curious as to why they're there.
Apparently Sunridge has some too, but haven't been to Sunridge in a while.
They probably got into the mall through an open door and are now impossible to catch. At least that's what happened a few times when I worked at Safeway years ago.
Does someone have the video (it might have been a TED video) that shows a guy doing illustrations on a white board while the voice over talks about 'treatment' and the 'treatment' turns out to be exercise. I tried the search in the 'Funny and Cool Pic & Vid' thread but couldn't find it. Thanks.
