My tax dollars paid for that window. I want my money back

Find me a window rated for -150° below 0° and 160mph winds and I’ll give you your money back.

Oh, I meant to ask: Have you ever tried to see if your pee freezes mid-stream while down there? That would be the FIRST thing I did

Down to -50° is makes it all the way to the snow.Oh, I meant to ask: Have you ever tried to see if your pee freezes mid-stream while down there? That would be the FIRST thing I did
No one has of yet lived through an attempt at -150° and 160mph winds.
We may never know…
And I also bet you would are the type to put it up against a metal pole wouldn’t you?

nice pow pow
be nice till it's time to no longer be nice
Interesting....I guided wildeness trips in northern wisconsin in the winter time and had done an experiment at -40 with my pee, and while it didn't freeze mid stream it was VERY slushy when it reached the ground. I could make a pile of pee.
wonder if humidity is a factor?
Body temp may have factored in too.

I have seen videos of a cup of coffee being thrown and it freezing before it hits the ground in North Dakota
GSXRScott made me follow him into that corner,...down that hill...there was the time up that washout...crankcase alley...man I gotta stop following him.
I doubt body temperature would have much of a factor. Being that the operating temperature range a human can exist at, is so narrow.
However, other higher freezing point chemicals in your stream could possibly affect the rate of freezing, making it quicker to solidify upon exiting the body.

I think alcohol would work more like an antifreeze, to lower the temperature at which your urine would solidify.
It would be interesting to see at what blood alcohol level it would take to begin to lower it freezing point.

If I pee Fireballs at -50 degrees?? does it Freeze??? Deep ThoughtsFireball /pee discussion
Oh, I meant to ask: Have you ever tried to see if your pee freezes mid-stream while down there? That would be the FIRST thing I didOMG, this is HARDLY a very ladylike discussion.
Wait...disregard!

Drops of water will survive the 45 foot fall in the -20F freezer at work. The time to reach the ground is a few seconds and will freeze on the ground in a heartbeat.
Well, the relative humidity down there is pretty high but the absolute humidity is low. But I doubt that has much to do with this. What is going to be critical is the surface area to volume ratio of the stream. The higher that number, the faster it will cool. A thin stream will cool/freeze faster than a thick one. So, size matters. It thus depends on whether you are causing a larger or smaller venturi effect with your guiding hand if you know what I mean.
The physics of pissing. Gotta love this board.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."
