      Holy shit something just clicked for me!

      “Ice is slippery, because water expands when it freezes” -->so when compressed it…

      Granted it’s not really something I thought of on that level being from the equator.

        Compression of any kind creates heat. In the case of ice, if the surface temperature is warm enough, the heat caused by compression is enough to melt it. Not all of it, but a thin layer at the top so you slip and fall on your ass.

    From the article

    The “polarizing” president was in conversation with Fox News about the economy when he veered off track…

    Dad reporter confirmed. He even snuck in an “off track” before talking about trains.

        I must admit they did mellow quite a lot. I’d feel safer at a gathering of juggalos than at a republican convention.

    What is this guys obsession with magnets?
    “Magnets don’t work when wet” “Nobody knows what magnets are”
    Does this obsession stem from the fact that he repels every decent person?

    He didn’t really say nobody knows what a magnet is in a literal sense, I think it was just his weird way of talking. When criticing trump lets be a little careful since its important to get it right otherwise noone will believe our other critics.

      “President Xi was willing to do the railroad things—that’s magnets,” he said. “Now, nobody knows what a magnet is. If you don’t have a magnet, you don’t have a car. You don’t make a computer, you don’t make, er, televisions and radios and all the other things—you don’t make anything."

      That’s exactly what it is. Could’ve been stated a little more clearly but this is a completely coherent statement. The man does a dozen deplorable things a day, are we really that starved for headlines that this is what we’re reporting on?

      Almost convinced that his administration is paying for these articles so people will look at them and complaints about the Epstein files as equally valid.

      The water and magnets comment was about electromagnets, too. He was completely wrong about the reliability of elevators on aircraft carriers, but he wasn’t saying permanent magnets can’t get wet.
