I'm pretty certain i flunked my logic class due to half-assitude but I'm gong to move on.
Everyone has the right to be himself; wise men know how to,when, and whether to navigate the boundary between their rights and those of others when they collide.

No it doesn't what melts ice is the heat generated when the sodium in rain reacts with water. Water alone can't melt ice because they're both inert.

state changing only depends on energy, not reaction with another chemical. this is why STEAM melts ice really really well

Energy released from a chemical reaction.

because as we all know, no energy is released when things fall on things

Yeah but it's actually the sodium in rain water that melts the ice, period

yeah dude thats so wrong its not funny. you almost sound like you know what you're talking about but ice melting has EVERYTHING to do with particles slamming into one another. Water is much more active than ice, and all that movement of the molecules transfers energy to the ice, speeding up the particles therefore melting it. qed.

Sodium/salt WILL melt ice too, technically, because it reacts so violently and expends a LOT of heat. It's not the chemical reaction though, its the release of energy from the chemical reaction into the ice that melts it, not the chemical reaction itself. You are mixed up a little, mince.

That's just what I said a few posts ago

sodium falls down and reacts with water releasing heat which melts the ice.

nothing to do with chemical reactions, any sodium in rainwater is by definition already dissolved and the snow would have roughly the same composition anyway. it's the temperature of the water. another explanation is that the snow isn't melting at all, when snow lands it's powdered and full of air, the rain could be compacting it essentially and carrying it away.

apparently it's gonna be snow ALL OVER THE PLACE tomorrow. I don't believe the severe weather warnings at all. I think everyone is expecting it to be like back in February but it totally won't be. Not by a country mile.

Getting Michael Symon's cookbook for Christmas.  I'm going to start a project where I try to veganize the recipes in the book and document on my blog...should be interesting!
And I am making coffee date cake with coconut Irish cream sauce tomorrow

somebody actually made a movie for zelda.  this isnt that fake trailer this is an actual full length(ish) movie that some fans made.  righto

note that it isnt a particularly good movie, actually its a particularly bad movie, but its a movie none the less.


I can't believe they actually made this. When I first saw the trailer a while back I was sure they would give up on it. But it's actually out, proceeding to viewing....
