I was afraid the tube was going to fall off. I would totally be the nerd who wraps a waterproof heating element around that pipe and switches it on when this happens.
Really cool that the iceblocks are getting thinner in diameter. It's almost as if they planned this so the blocks would easily fall out, but I'd have no clue where to buy those narrowing pipes in the Netherlands. Then again, with the 3 days a year with proper freezing temps, we have no need for such drainage pipes.
I lived in NY for 38 years and I've never had to, nor seen anyone have to remove ice from a downspout before. I think you'd physically have to block it off to get water to freeze in one.
It's supposed to be 101°f on Saturday with 0% humidity. Also, 2024 could rival 2023 for being the hottest year on record... so ya know, I'll be sleeping on my tile floors.
Stand up, support the drain laterally with your knee, swing like a golf club. Sure, you're swinging a pick in the direction of your leg, and that's how we learn to pay attention and be careful. No different than handheld work performed by chefs and wood carvers
it looks like, in some places, the ice was pre-cut. Much more noticible with the thinner parts that all just sorta fall out without her having to hit them.
ahh right, as per another comment, it looked like they were coming out in pre-cut segments, but that's just where they hit the ground and snap off at that length then ?
coming back from Korea, nothing could compare to the BBQ I had over there so I made it a mission to learn how. Over the years I'm now at the point where mine is a better meal than what you can find in NYC Koreatown for the big $$$.

Just slap a torch down after you break one.

That's why you don't use a pipe, but use a chain to guide the water down.

She’ll need to split them too, and gather small icicles, so the melting could start faster.

Our highest temp recorded was 122 in 1990. Last year it hit 119 in July and we broke the record for most consecutive days with highs above 110.

Why is it in the even length segments ?

What do you mean? 🤔
SerenaLily

FeChefImgur
Yeah, that makes sense and was what I couldn't work out. They are breaking off as they hit the ground, which makes them all the same segment length.
Fulustreka
How can the ice be pre-cut inside the pipe?
OhIfIMust
The length is determined by the distance from the edge of the pipe and the ground, and they’re being chopped off at roughly the same height
FeChefImgur
ahh right, as per another comment, it looked like they were coming out in pre-cut segments, but that's just where they hit the ground and snap off at that length then ?

That's how it looks to me.

I'm literally eating as I read this and this picture still made me hungry. Just not for the food I've got haha. Looks nice.

That looks so unbelievably good that I wish I had the superpower to steal people's memories and live them as if they were my own.

I'd usually go a bit larger than this, but a cancelation brought the numbers down meaning I could trim off a meat and 2 banchan (side dishes).

If you boil that and then freeze it. You always have pasta water on hand
in9119iwas
yeah, if you freeze the boiling water, who'll avoid evaporation. Otherwise it will all be boiled off when you need boiling water.
