But I live near the equator. Can a lake nearby from my place be used to make snow?Quote from: Monox D. I-FlyThat's cool! Can people make snow with that?The easiest way to make snow is on the ground, out of water pumped from a lake. All the water gets turned into snow, and it lands where you want it, on the ski slope.
My family is from the small town of Naica and many of my relatives still live there and work the mines. I have had the pleasure of seeing the caves firsthand. Of course at the extremely high temperatures and 100 percent humidity you can only stand to be in the cave for minutes at a time and are immediately drenched and dehydrated, but it's well worth it. I feel very lucky to have experienced a wonder of our earth.How much was the temperature there?
That's cool! Can people make snow with that?Quote from: Monox D. I-FlyThat means it's cold instead of hot?Yes, at the cruising altitude of a jet plane (around 10km or 30,000 feet up), the air is very cold: often -40C to -60C.
- If the humidity is such that water vapor in the jet exhaust forms visible droplets, they tend to freeze into ice crystals.
In the arctic regions, you can bet your money on the mammalAre there even any reptiles in the arctic regions?
An ironic thread on which to practice necromancy.Because there is no rule against necro-posting, and my post isn't out of topic either.
Why do you do it?
Not a reptile, but I once had a very fat pet toad (Bufo terrestris). She was almost as wide as she was long. I only fed her two crickets a day. Perhaps it was the lack of exercise that caused her to become obese...But then, how do we train a toad?
In the same interview, he suggests that "metallic" is an actual taste sensation, but a minor one, unlike the usual 5 flavours.
Quote from: guestthe smoke is also causing lightning, which is spawning fresh fires.There is a weather front crossing the country, producing strong winds and thunderstorms.
I am under the impression that the lightning was from the thunderstorms, not from the fire smoke.
There are sometimes short-lived fire tornadoes, which look ferocious.
- One of these took out a suburb of Canberra in 2003
Start at 3 minutes 55 seconds:
This video from a California fire tornado has better graphics to explain the phenomenon:
This is our gray water bio filter if you will. I don't know what else to call it. These are pictures from the Arcata Marsh! It is lovely and worth everything to reuse all that water..Do those places smell bad?
This is what we can do when we recycle our water... Isn't it really lovely! You can see more photos of the marsh here: http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?ei=UTF-8&p=Arcata+Marsh&fr=ytff1-&b=1
I am looking for more information about how our system is set up to deal with this..I will post it when I find the proper link!
It's hard, sometimes impossible, to find the cause of back pain. A lot of the time it's due to bad posture. People tend to slouch rather than sitting up straight. That puts strain on muscles, nerves can get pinched, vertebrae can become misaligned - all sorts of things can go wrong.
Misaligned vertebrae are not as easy to spot as you may think. Quite often, when they are not under stress, they are properly aligned; but if you carry a weight, twist your torso or bend, they can move out of place a bit.
Hi,
I am currently working on an art project and I need some advice
I have a bunch of rocks/crystals that I have crushed into a fine powder. The goal is to use that powder and shape/mould it to create various different things. I want to be able to shape this powder into any form and let it cure so that it hardens and becomes a rock solid object.
I do not how exactly to go about this. What substance I might need to mix with the powder or what techniques I need to use. I feel like there might be a few different methods to achieve the result I am looking for. So I am hoping someone from this community can provide a solution.
I have attached a photo of the desired end product.Screen Shot 2020-07-21 at 7.04.28 PM.png (479.32 kB . 644x574 - viewed 5655 times)
Quote from: Monox D. I-FlyI heard that eating raw eggs can give you salmonellaYes, this is a risk.
Salmonella is endemic in farmed chickens, and is often present on the outside of eggs, and also in raw chicken meat.
- An attempt is made to wash any salmonella off when processing eggs or chicken carcasses, but some small residual is inevitable
- That's why it is wise to:
- Not eat cracked or broken eggs
- Put eggs and chicken in the fridge when you get them home, until you are ready to consume them
- Don't leave it very long before you cook them
- Do cook them, rather than eat them raw
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmonellosis
Hmm.. I've seen on tv, where people ate ostrich eggs raw.. They are massive! About half the size of an adult's head! They just drank it with a straw.. They said it was yucky! LOL
- The fact that you do not see the rotor spinning is an other case of what is illustrated by a test everyone must have seen in physics class : a circular disk is divided in seven or 14 sectors, each showing an other colour of the rainbow. When you make the disk spin, you do not see the different colours but just gray. So in this case you do not see the different wings but you do see what shows up repeatedly behind them
- You can see the fan spinning if you use a stroboscope. If the frequency of the flashes is synchronized with the speed of your fan, it will look as if the fan stands still, if the frequency is marginally lower, you'll see the fan turning forwards, if the frequency is higher it will turn backwards. A single TL-tube will have the same effect, but since you can not change its frequency, you would have to change the speed of the fan. (Twin tube ornaments will have the tubes arranged in such a way that one is on while the other is off and vice versa, so no stroboscopic effect.)
And concerning that other point : you feel colder because the blast of air helps your transpiration evaporate, which requires energy.
