I like it.

I am surprised that no one thought of this before.

It is little discoveries like this that keep me engaged with Element 14. Something new to learn everyday.

Most of the time when guessing something is hot I first wet my finger; when I hear sizzling or feel heat I withdraw my finger immediately. Probably the moisture provides lower thermal resistance to the skin.

I do get scorched occasionally, but nothing that remains longer than 2 days [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-2d2cdc3b-f87f-4fe2-b83c-eec13b3798bd/6646.contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Nice attempt to fight human nature to touch things to test if they are hot! [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-2d2cdc3b-f87f-4fe2-b83c-eec13b3798bd/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Very nice.

A simple but extremely effective cheap solution.
