Pee on it.

If you do, get yourself good and dehydrated. You want that super yellow pee.

Is that pee warmer or something? Or is there something with the composition of the pee that makes it better for melting ice?

I think he just wants it nice and visible.

it needs to be nice and concentrated to melt snow properly especially when interfacing with such frigid temperatures

look at these urine ingredients and tell me you don't want more not less to help melt planet's ice shelf


Human urine consists primarily of water, with organic solutes including urea, creatinine, uric acid, and trace amounts of enzymes, carbohydrates, hormones, fatty acids, pigments, and mucins, and inorganic ions such as sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), chloride (Cl-), magnesium (Mg2+), calcium (Ca2+), ammonium (NH4+), sulfates (SO42-), and phosphates (e.g., PO43-). A representative chemical composition would be:
water 95%

urea 9.3 g/l

chloride 1.87 g/l

sodium 1.17 g/l

potassium 0.750 g/l

creatinine 0.670 g/l

with lesser amounts of other ions and compounds

Does that mean he could make blue urine?

Does that mean he could make blue urine?

I bet Lydia can make some $$$ in Eastern Europe on that premium blue urine

Projected snowfall between now and next Wednesday. [expletive] me.

We've had something like 3 feet in January, so why the [expletive] not? What's the difference really at this point?

RE: Soulard Mardi Gras - public urination as a public service

I don't think it has to be Mardi Gras to pee in public in Soulard. Or at least I hope not, because if it is I goofed.

holy [expletive]. That's double what I've had all year right there.

from other thread

It's been well below zero in northern MN for the past 48 hours, but look how many MN folks are competing in an 135 mile endurance race right now.

This could almost go in the WTF thread, but it's something I love about Minnesotans.

That's called stupidity gashouse.

135 mile race in any weather, much less sub 20 degrees -It's definitely not for me. But still, I have a curiosity about how people can pull that off...the science behind it etc. I ponder it often when I'm in the cold walking the dogs or some other occasion (albeit milder than the artic temps in the race). How did the ancients make it up there?

Again, I'm not going to run long distance in a desert summer, or artic winter.But when the weather gets extreme - I typically go outside for a while to check out how that feels-and typically - I feel alive(until I'd die from exposure, which is why I get my ass back inside.)
