You realise that "95 to 98 degrees Celsius" is not steam, but very hot water?

But we're talking about スチーム, not "steam". My company has a
スチーム cleaner we use to wash out containers that were loaded with
tsukemono imported from China (the brine runs out of the cheap crates
and makes a hell of a mess). It is actually just a pressure washer and
the スチーム is actually just "mist".

What is the difference b/w mist and gas? Driving home along the Tomei
last evening I noticed mist forming in the hills. Looked bewdiful. FYJB
noticed me looking up around us and figured out what had caught my
interest - "ガスしているね。"

The difference between staining your undershorts and not.

Not very scientific... but mist consists of very small particles of water
that float in the air at lower temperatures. Gas would be electrolyzed water
at molecular size (hydrogen gas and oxygen gas), while steam is something
like mist whemn it comes to the particle size.
Yea, but the manufacturer calls it "steam", and I can figure that this one
is just expensive crap.

Your version of "steam" accords with what most people think of when they
see "steam", but the industrial and technical usage is well-established
to mean "gasesous water above the boiling point". This form of steam is
invisibible and very hot.

My only experience with these gadgets is in Sepponia, but I would say they
are a must for any carpet that gets a lot of (shoe-wearing) foot traffic.
The only alternative would be replacing the carpet every few years, IMO.
But it would seem to me that in Tokyo, you'd be better off hiring some
service to clean them for you. With the poor economy, I don't expect it
would be much more expensive than just renting the equipment.

Japanese would be so much easier if I hadn't already learnt Englishu.
The FJLIJ Science Show is always very educational.

It seemed to make sense at the time. Unlike フォッグぽい ferinstance.

Mike has always had quite a grasp on both descriptive english, and science

Be a hell of a lot easier, not to mention more hygienic, to just wash
your damned feet every now and then.
But Sigi said he has lots of gaigins in his cafe, and you know how dirty
those buggers are.

Man, you are good. I should have written "gaseous water at or above the
boiling point". Superheated steam is above and "saturated steam" is at
the boiling point.
The little cloud coming off of your boiling pasta water contains little
steam. The little jet coming out of your teakettle gets a good ways
closer....

It shouldn't matter. Just as a cowpad attracts blowflies, those dirty
gaigins attract natives, who pay more, so instead of hiring/renting the
proprietor can shell out on buying the steam cleaning widget. Imagine
what you could do with your hedgeless nudist colony down in Okinawa.
That's right, and therefore it is strictly prohibited for gaijin to take off
their shoes and socks!
