Just woke up, morning blurred vision.
Try not to let the moose lick your ear
Yes just have a nice conversation with the moose to let it know of the risks, I’m sure it’ll listen.
Is road salt safe for consumption? I didnt think they actually used NaCl salt
Road salt is NaCl but it’s much more coarse than the salt you would put in a grinder for food. They also don’t make sure the rocks are out of it if it is mined rather than taken from the sea. Transported in trucks that may not have been cleaned. So safe for consumption? Not likely. But it is just NaCl.
No, it definitely isn’t “just NaCl”. Many different compounds are used, and of those, NaCl is one of the least effective (-6°C). CaCl2 is much better (-32°C).
Hey am I the only one pronouncing this “nackle” as I read it in my head?
Yes, I’m afraid so.
Damn
I am also cackle-ing in my head
Okay but it’s not CaCl, it’s NaCl.
Huh, til. I thought it was a different compound.
Depends on the area. Different chemicals work better for different climates.
It generally is.
Some places use beet juice. It’s still all gonna be mixed with tire and brake dust.
I wish they’d stick to sand anywhere the snow sticks around for more than a day or two.
Are they slowing down to let the moose lick the car or so as not to run into the damn thing?
Yes it’s a good idea, but I think this is in reference to if you leave your car parked somewhere in places where moose may roam. Since the car body and tires pick up road salt, moose can be attracted to it.
And when a moose licks the car, there’s a good chance its antlers “lick” the windows.
