I've always wanted to know what -50 was like and still wonder if your spit freezes before it hits the ground. This is awesome

Doesn't have to be that cold for "hot" water to do freeze instantly. Try it at -10C . . .

That's going to depend on a few things; trajectory, density, and volume of said spit.

My experience at -50°F is that spit instantly freezes to whatever it lands on.

meh... I'm meaning freezing before it hits the ground. Just freezing to something doesn't cut it!

You just need to see for yourself. A trip to Bettles, AK in winter would be perfect for this.

I can assure you it will be cold, and there may be other things to do outside other than spit. And, you won't need to buy Arctic Gear for the short time you'll be there.

So, I want to say I've only read the first and last pages of this thread but....WOW!!! Science nerds and porn geeks. I think I've found my nirvana.

Boeing finds another software flaw that might delay 737 Max's return

If it's Boeing, it ain't going-anytime soon.

https://www.engadget.com/2020/01/18/boeing-finds-new-737-max-software-flaw/?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark

Boeing is dealing with another 737 Max software flaw that could prevent the troubled aircraft from returning to the skies, but this time it's not a safety issue. The company has confirmed that it's fixing a flaw preventing the 737 Max's flight control computers from starting up and verifying that they're ready for flight -- in other words, the airliner couldn't even take off. A spokesperson said Boeing was "working with the FAA" on submitting the fix and was informing partners, but didn't say when the updated software would be ready.
