Please done just put salt down without shoveling. It makes piles of slushy salt that at best are a mess, but likely will re-freeze into an uneven hazard. It’s also really hard on dog’s paws. An able bodied guy should be able to use a shovel.
I swear 1/2 the frozen mass outside right now is a mix of various salts of sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Do all cities suck at snow plowing?
I use dog friendly salt.
I wonder how those laws handled disabled people who can’t shovel snow and don’t have someone to do it for them. Expect them to hire somebody to do it? The disabled are generally not well off financially, so that’s not really a solution.
Knowing how much our system fucks over disabled people in other ways I’m going to guess that they’re still required to do it, so they either have to hire someone or do it themselves.
I’m sure you’re right.
Apparently the guy in the meme is notorious for treating their employees like absolute shit.
He serves “ok” quality steaks, wraps them in gold leaf and upcharges thousands of dollars. His restaurant is the equivalent of the “I Am Rich” app. One critic called the whole thing dinner theater. More money than sense is required to dine there.
On the one hand, salt destroys cars, which is based. On the other hand, salt destroying cars means more cars get bought, which is cringe. On the third hand, salt makes it easier to walk, which is based. On the fourth hand, salt is notoriously bad for the environment (nobody ever threatened to beet juice someone’s fields, you know) which is hella cringe.
I guess what I’m saying is skip the salt, use beet juice, and lay out spike strips on the road
Why beet juice? (I have a really hard time not calling it beetle juice)
Beet juice isn’t as good a de-icer as salt, but it does lower the freezing point of water and it doesn’t kill plants
Wouldn’t it make everything beet colored and dye stuff? Like let’s say I have white carpet and I use beet juice to de-ice my walkway, wouldn’t I get beet juice on my shoes and immediately dye my carpet once I walk inside? (If this is too American for you because in your country people remove their shoes, it’s common to have carpet all the way to the door in the US)
Idunno, maybe. I live in the US too, but I’m in an apartment so I’m not the one de-icing walkways. Maybe I should switch it to sugar instead of beet juice, since I’m pretty sure it’s the sugar in that that reduces the freezing temperature of water anyway, and sugar doesn’t (as far as I know) turn stuff red
