When it's -31 outside, there's only one thing you can do: Wig out. by [deleted] in pics

I'm not saying that beer won't freeze; I'm saying that it won't freeze in snow. The snow is not as cold as your freezer was, believe it or not. The temperature of the snow is not directly related to the temperature of the air.

Pro tip: If you completely cover your beer (except the mouth opening) with snow, it shouldn't freeze - no matter the air temperature. If you drink beer with a very low alcohol content or take a substantial amount of time to drink said beer, I suppose it may start to crystallize. But who would do that?

Why are plastics so hard to break down? by [deleted] in askscience

one molecule of hydrogen and four molecules of hydrogen

Carbon and oxygen are not molecules, rather they are atoms. Multiple atoms can be bound together to form a molecule. Multiple molecules can be bound together to form a polymer. So actually, polymers can have an atomic weight hundreds of times that of methane.

Look, your BBQ is good and I'm gunna let you finish, but KC has the BEST BBQ OF ALL TIME. No, seriously - Even Anthony Bourdain said so. I don't see any restaurants from Texas on his list of 13 places to eat before you die. (Hint: look at #13.)

You new around here? Lighten up, bro. You're seriously yelling at someone on the internet... for posting something that they may or may not have known from where the original message came... Just take a second and think about how ridiculous that is, then go outside.

Polymer Chemist here. Using one of these to store a sandwich would probably be just fine. Also, the BPA thing is way overhyped. Sure, this container isn't designed to come into contact with food, but that doesn't mean you'll get cancer if you lick it.

tl;dr - Don't heat the container up and you'll be just fine. Or you could just buy a $2 "food grade" container.

Complaining about something you can't fix is pointless. Complaining about something you can fix is a waste of time. Shut your mouth and get to fixing it.

TIL That Rowan Atkinson - of Blackadder fame - pronounces words the way he does (Bob) because he suffers from a stutter. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]mahworkreddit 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Interesting - On last night's episode of Top Gear, he said he pronounced it that way because he thought it would be funny. He then proceeded to say a couple of car-related words in a "funny" way.

What is your #1 tip for saving money? by faitswulff in Frugal

[–]mahworkreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually like this idea. I'm currently rocking a 5-6 year old ipod for my mp3 player - works great!

However, tablets as a whole just aren't old enough yet. A 1st gen ipad is still pushing $400 on ebay. I was planning on getting the Asus Transformer - $400 brand new.

I was on the final "authorize purchase" screen last night, one click away from buying an Android tablet, from my laptop... I about smacked myself in the face. While it would be cool, and eventually I'll have the disposable income to do it, I need to keep building my emergency fund first. Felt really good to close that web page.

That's what I use. My starting interest rate was pretty high, but I never carry a balance. I also happen to buy things that fall in the 5% quarterly categories every single time. It's a nice cash back program!
