Square D electrical panel question

[gfretwell]

The closest I get to that is using up the chocolate milk in my coffee after the grand kids are gone

[DerbyDad03]

The only good use for instant coffee is for cooking/baking.

Trying to use "liquid coffee" to impart coffee flavor is really hard because it tends to mess up the liquid content. In some cases it would take more liquid coffee than all the liquid called for in the recipe. Sometimes you can squeak by with expresso, but that's rare.

Freeze dried instant is better than spray dried.

Guess you're REALLY warm blooded!

BTW, LOVE the hat and gloves.

I make my own creamer, sometimes, out of eagle brand condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla. That's all I'll add to coffee when I have it, although, I like chocolate in it, too, off and on.

You need to climb into a Square D electrical panel to get warmed up. And hang onto the ground wire.

[Stormin Mormon]

Nice to be able to stand cold, like that. Now that I'm getting elderly, I need to bundle up.

The difference is that you can run it twice as long at half the pump spped, move the same amount of water, and it saves a substantial amount of electricity used. The pump power goes up as the cube of the speed.

[gfretwell]

Coming up on 70 here.

[gfretwell]

It is all about how you size the pump. The vacuum will not run if the speed is too low. My neighbor has one of those computer controlled variable speed pumps and he had to add a timer to manually cycle it on to bypass the automatic features.,

For me, it's more about humidity than temperature. I'm usually quite comfortable during the Minnesota winter, mainly because the humidity is so low.

[Mr Macaw]

Anybody can withstand cold, it's called being warm blooded, all mammals are warm blooded. And actually it increases your immune system and burns calories. It's bad for you to keep warm all the time.

[gfretwell]

It really comes down to your ability to regulate the temperature in your body. I tend to hold heat in my core so I don't seem to be cold for quite a while but the flip side of that is it makes me more susceptible to frost bite in my extremities.

[Mr Macaw]

Everybody has the ability, but a lot of people moan about nothing. You shiver when you lose 1 to 2C of heat. You need to lose SEVENTEEN C of heat to die. So stop worrying about it. Shivering doesn't mean you're too cold, it STOPS you getting too cold.

[Mr Macaw]

There isn't much difference between 200 and 170F.

Yes, we do. But we aren't stupid enough to put hot coffee balanced in stupid places.

It wasn't too late, she was holding it and knew what temperature it was by the sensors in the skin of her hand, yet she chose to balance it in her lap, next to her naughty bits.

Your courts always get things wrong, basically because it's similarly stupid Americans voting in the jury. The simple fact is people should look after themselves. McDonalds did not throw the coffee over her. SHE caused the coffee to spill. ONLY SHE is to blame. This is simple logic and if you can't follow that it's no wonder you spend half your life in courts suing each other, it really is pathetic to watch. Take some responsibility for your on actions and grow the f*ck up.

[Mr Macaw]

Show me some evidence as to why you think I don't. I have a degree in electronics and I can assure you I know everything there is to know about resistance.

[Muggles]

You don't look a day over 60!

[Stormin Mormon]

I talked to Army guy from Alaska, one time. Western NYS gets near zero F now and again, and I really freeze to the core. Asked how he could tolerate the -70 or so that Alaska does now and again. He said it was the humidity, western NYS is humid, Alaska is dry.

[Mr Macaw]

You can get used to any temperature. Keep wrapping up warm and moaning about it and you won't. Walk around topless in winter and you'll quickly get used to it.

[DerbyDad03]

That is way too much of an oversimplification.

Yes, it's dryer in AK so the cold doesn't feel quite so bad, but you don't go out in -70°F dressed like it's 0°F in western NY. You don't really "tolerate" it like you can tolerate 0°

At those temps you wear full artic gear with no exposed skin:

According to this chart, temperatures as relatively "warm" as -40°F with 15 MPH winds can result is frostbite in under 5 minutes.

The coldest temps I've experienced were -35°F with 30 MPH winds while in the USCG in AK. All we did was dress up, go outside for a few minutes, say "OK, done that" and go back inside. Our beer froze before we could finish it anyway.

Going out to toss a Frisbee around at temps below 0° was fairly common. Having family and friends mail up spares was also fairly common. Frisbees tend to get rather brittle at those temps.

[gfretwell]

That works fine up to a point, then you just go into hypothermia and shock ensues. Fall in the North Sea in winter and I give you minutes. When I was in the North Atlantic in December they said that -2c water would immobilize you in about 2-3
