I had a physics professor tell me the same. I’ve tried the experiment in various ways - cold and hot water... and the cold water ALWAYS freezes first. Maybe it has to be water that’s actually boiling?

To be fair, there are plenty of cities up north. This is more like someone who’s never had to be self-reliant.

Wind chill brings on the occasional -50F for a day or two in Illinois.

G/F was nurse and had to get to work. My vw diesel was in the driveway and the fuel froze, so used her car from the garage to push mine into the street, where we left it. Came back, tried to get in front door and the metal handle snapped off.

This could have been a good opportunity to write about “Paradoxical Undressing” and “Terminal Burrowing” - two oddities that result from hypothermia.

True, but alcohol also thins the blood so it can further reach the capillaries in your skin and make you feel roasty toasty.

My solution: scotch and blankets.

I have to hand it to the Russian people ... in a country where literally everything is trying to kill you, and everyone is trying to kill themselves ... they manage to produce some hardy genetics.

Another Russian with a death wish. 

What is it about those guys?

I think without China, our economy would further slide. By keeping China tied up with American debt, they then have to work with us... and it boosts our economy. Check into how much China has been investing in American real estate. They are literally floating our collapsed real estate market. The city I live in has…

They’ll continue to monitor North Korea, will continue to flood us with cheap mobile phones and crappy t-shirt with idiotic writings and will go on trying to sell their socially connected, stupid electric cars sharing ideas to the European and American yuppies, because they can no longer do without our markets.

Considering what people pay for UTV side-by-sides, and this one is actually road legal, $6,000 isn’t all that unreasonable if the work is decent ... but I also don’t have that kind of cash laying around to throw away.

That Thermomix link to the Katering Show is hilarious!

There are anarchists that like to join protests and other gatherings with the full intention of fucking shit up. They’re totally freaking crazy.

Most protesters aren’t experienced, so it looks funny when the anarchists starting showing up in little bunches and doing goofy things, like clowning around or dancing in…

In some situations, the masks will be worn to protect an officer’s identity that is ordinarily tasked with undercover investigations, but is being called up to reinforce routine cop stuff when there are shortages.

I’m going to be in the minority opinion that just short of trying to ban or license lasers, it’s going to be a lot easier on everyone to just require laser shielding foil on aircraft than it is to try and punish every person with a friggin’ laser.

From the bits and pieces I’ve gathered, during the original investigation the FBI built a searchable database. When the investigation was closed, that software was archived. When it was reopened, they unarchived the software. Of course that’s not all turn-key, but likely a bunch of custom functions written for the…

Whew, we’ve come a long way!

Agreed. This is the first time I’ve seen one of these videos, and it’s beyond stupid.

Word.

TIL. :)

Oh this is going to be good.
