The Snow is Burning

[zorgon]

GENUINE QUESTION
why do'st it smell like plastic?

Since smell-o-vision has not yet been mastered I have no way to check the reported smell of plastic... However the butane would have a strong odor IF you are condensing the flame on the cold snow ie not allowing the butane to burn fully

Since butane and plastic are both oil products I would suspect that to be the reason

You would not smell it lighting your mega reefer because a) the flame is burning fully and b) any butane fumes would be sucked into the reefer when you suck on it to get it to be burned thus filtering it out and c) the reefer fumes are more than likely over powering the smell of butane

While I am 100% certain that they are seeing the atmosphere with chemical, plastic is not one of them.  However considering the sheer amount of air traffic both commercial and military. I would not be surprised to find unburned fuel in both rain and snow.

Is it enough to ignite? I doubt it... but in my day as a kid we only had to worry about the YELLOW snow 

Today I wouldn't drink rainwater or melted snow without filtering it  though back as a kid we swam in lakes that had a shimmer of gasoline/oil on the surface from sport motor boats and we survived that

It looked pretty too





It is amusing though how this snow scare went viral  and how many are falling for it...

Just shows how evil the internet really is

Maybe Pegasus can start selling water filters and special masks   We could make them look futuristic

yeah, , we did swim in it, , but do you remember the taste, , bleaaaaaaacheeeeee

I also remember the slime on the rocks, the floating algae slime spheres and the leeches... so I really laugh when I hear someone bitch about a few leaves in the swimming pool

And do you know that natural lakes, ponds and rivers have animal and fish poop in them?  LMAo

Hu-mons are not as frail as people think... but the germophobes are the ones getting sick   You don't build up natural immunities by hiding in a sterile room and the first bug that gets in will likely kill ya

On a different note, my Mormon neighbor showed his scout troop his chickens out back. One kid puked when he saw where eggs came from and never ate them again

Ahh reminds me of this gem...

Artificial snow making at ski resorts.




Snowmaking begins with a water supply such as a river or reservoir. Water is pushed up a pipeline on the mountain using very large electric pumps in a pump house. This water is distributed through an intricate series of valves and pipes to any trails that require snowmaking. Many resorts also add a nucleating agent to ensure that as much water as possible freezes and turns into snow. These products are organic or inorganic materials that facilitate the water molecules to form the proper shape to freeze into ice crystals. The products are non-toxic and biodegradable.

Ok so this snowstorm sure looks like it was man-made.

Now the question is why?

To screw up the system and confuse us poor droids even more.
Think about it
