Canada from Eh to Zed

Evaporating water at -30C

Note carefully the headgear on the woman in the video.

Or lack thereof.

-30? Pfft, that's beach weather!

 

[midwestyankee]

As it's now some 36 degrees C above the threshold for "beach weather" in your neighborhood, perhaps you would be so kind as to show us a today pic of you cavorting about town in your bikini.

Looks more like it is freezing into super fine particulates.

You must have watched the censored version. Any live videos viewed outside of Canada are screened and edited by CSIS, to prevent foreigners from learning our national secrets. In reality, when she threw the water, it turned into very cold beer. Ah, but now I've said to much and...

Oh hold on, a black car just pulled up and now there's a knock at the door.

Be right ba--

Details, details. Talk to me when you can do the same thing outside your front door.

Details? There's a teensy bit of difference between evaporating and freezing. And I don't need -30c outside to know that.

True. I took the headline straight from the source of the video and I honestly think you're probably right about this one.

Canada:

Healthcare? Check.

More intelligent approach to drugs? Check.

Science education? Not so much.

Let's not be too hasty here. My source was Andrew Sullivan's blog and he went to some excellent schools in Britain. Now, the headline may have come from a staffer, but in that case it would be an American. So I don't think we can use this as even partial evidence as to the quality of Canadian science education.

Ahem...*clears throat and steps up to podium*...

What you are witnessing in the aforementioned video is the second law of thermodynamics in action. In layman's terms this can be expressed as: "Heat travels from a warmer body to a colder body unless mechanical means are applied".

So, yes, what you saw was freezing, not evaporation.

Occasional stoopid Canucks? Check.

Thanks. Sorry. Have an ice day!

Give the lady a break. Maybe she wasn't stoopid at all. At -30 C her brain could be a bit frosty. But, the person holding the camera sounded quite impressed with the frosty evaporation trick. You guys aren't calm and relaxed...you're brains are just cold.

I can do the same thing here in the summer, only the water turns to dust.

Oh, c'mon, I know that. Just joshing you because I'm jealous over that whole healthcare and drug policy thing.

You could be on to something. I'm willing to bet that the room Keroin has her computer in, while probably hiding a bear or moose, is likely to be significantly warmer than -30c. So it may well be frost on the brain.

I thought, where you live, it would turn to orange juice, or silicone implants?

No, you were being mean. You are a mean, mean man Homburg. You, sir, are no Canadian!

Sorry, sorry, that was mean of me. Sorry. Donut?

As I'm typing this, I am outside, in my snowfort, in my underwear. I don't know what talk you brain cold slow. Stupid. Donut.

Geez DVS, what's with everyone spilling our national secrets this week. Yes, OK, we have artificially induced calmness, is that so bad? Oh, hang on a minute, those men in the trench coats are at the door again.

I'll be right ba--

 

[midwestyankee]

It's a balmy -18C here today. Seems like the perfect day for a couple of big old Tim Horton's donuts and a cup of strong coffee. And if we had a Tim's here I'd go out to get some, too. Instead, I'll just wander over to the pink and brown place.

See ya. Off to walk to the donut store.

Ah, Timmy's. None here either, believe it or not.

We had two whole days recently where grass was visible. Very exciting. Now, we are back to white, white, white. Three months of white, thus far. But I'm fine with it, I'm OK. Really. I...

No Timmy's in Nelson, eh? I didn't realize you were in such a backwater.

No walk to the donut store today. The combination of a sloped driveway, accumulated ice, and a dusting of overnight snow led to the yankster going ass over teakettle. Took a chunk out of my elbow and my hip so it seemed wiser and less painful to drive.

You mean McDs and obesity.

Our evil plan, to slowly invade and conquer America through the use of teen pop idols, is coming along nicely. Mwa ha ha!

I might have joked, Yes, Bieber, YES! to this post even if I think him a twink with a bad haircut and no sex appeal but a 10 year old? Surely, there are boundaries, even in Pop music.

Oh, right Micheal Jackson, Donny Osmond, Tony DeFranco. What's next? Three year olds?

Shhhh... don't go giving away all of our secrets. I don't think people are supposed to know that we're gradually taking over.

Sorry, I should have known better. But just think, in another three or four hundred years, it will all be ours! They have places that don't even get snow, can you imagine that??
