cool and fast fact :

water and ice coexist in equilibrium at 0 degrees until either all the ice has melted and only then will it get hotter. in this way ice acts as a buffer maintaining cool temerpatures

Of course this is only true if the volume is small enough that the entire thing can maintain total diffusion and there is limited heat transfer to the outside environment. Otherwise you'll have hot and cold spots.

A park ranger in Yellowstone once told me, while pointing at a frozen lake, that there were volcanic spots on the bottom constantly emitting boiling water but the lake was deep and large enough that it could still be frozen at the top.

If you don't like the taste of chlorine in water you can get a charcoal filter like a Brita or just put it in a pitcher and let it stand for a day.

so you actually removed all the water and ate what was left. that's like the complete opposite of echi's plan

Dawn is 71 minutes before sunrise, when the center of the sun's disc is 18 degrees below the horizon. It is when the first rays of refracted sunlight begin to show in the sky. Similarly, dusk is 71 minutes after sunset.

Whether the sky is darkest just before the dawn depends on the time of year and the phase of the moon.

i am not an astronomer but i don't think so

sunrise is defined as the moment the upper limb of the sun touches the horizon. dawn is the moment the center of the sun reaches 18 degrees below the horizon. the sun's disc has a radius of 0.25 degrees.

this means that the earth needs to rotate 17.75 degrees between dawn and sunrise, and it always rotates at 15 degrees per hour.

i think that your latitude and the time of year will change how long the sun spends above the horizon after sunrise, but the rate at which it moves from dawn to sunrise should always be constant

wouldn't that just mean that the sun was moving between -18 and 0 degrees but never actually coming over the horizon?

Is it possible to have dawn with no sunrise for a period of longer than 142 minutes?

e: nah, i'm a dumbass, all of this only applies to the equator.

the trick is to drink so much water that you pee is entirely clear, which means it's water, so you can drink it again. efficient

Cutting down on coffee and beer and soda is a good idea but you wackos planning to drink two gallons a day aren't going to accomplish anything other than giving your toilet a workout

sagebrush just thinks that's a lot because he doesn't like to carry around a bunch of extra wait when he's flying wherever in his private executive jet.

it's true. 2 gallons of water is 2 gallons less fuel and that's almost 20 minutes of flight time.

Sagebrush

oh right water weighs more than gasoline. 2 gallons is 16lb of water but 16lb of avgas is 2-2/3 gallons. man the extra water idea is just getting worse and worse

on the contrary! whenever i fix my landlord's bluetooth or jump-start his car or whatever he says "will you drink vodka?" and pours me like 6 ounces in a water glass and then asks "will you eat garlic?" and pulls out a jar of raw peeled garlic cloves from the fridge and we drink vodka and eat garlic together.

even gave me a bottle of the stuff he likes

i offered to let her drive it to work while we look for another car since i am wfh for at least the next six months and she said it is “too small” and “too low” and “terrifying to be in as a passenger or a driver” so we have a loaner for a bit.

when i was in high school i thought the elise was the greatest car in the world and my dad's opinion on it was "yeah, but no girl will want to ride in it. girls like comfortable cars with room for their stuff."

i guess he was right!
