Static electricity
(1) My house is very dry this winter. My laptop keeps shutting down when I give it a shock of static electricity. If I touch something metal before I touch the laptop, will that discharge the static electricity from my body and cure this problem?
(2) Why do I get a static electric shock when I touch the top of my glasstop stove? Glass in an insulator, so I'm surprised at this.
I think the cause of the laptop problem is a combination of dry air, synthetic clothing, a plastic chair, and Crocs---a perfect electric storm aggravated each time I get up and move around.
