This isn't due to the blind spot, but it is still pretty weird to experience! Here's some more info if you are curious: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Averted_vision

I'm not the first to say this, but essentially your body (specifically your immune system) doesn't know the difference (as far as how dangerous a sickness is) between a cold and ebola. So it always reacts very strongly to any "invader" that isn't part of your body normally. This is super simplified and I'm not an expert by any means, but here is a playlist of videos by a channel called Kurzgesagt with much more information: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFs4vir_WsTyS2cy4vj4obl5igqCOV749
Or if you don't want to click on the link (or want to use a different device) you can search for Kurzgesagt and then look at their playlists; there is one with immune-related videos.
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.
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.
