    I’ve actually wondered about doing something like that with salt. Would wreck the ice still and likely much harder to catch.

      A glycol-based antifreeze would do. Like the liquid that plow trucks spray along with the salt when it gets extra cold.

        There are trucks that spray glycol on roads but I can’t just dump my used coolant in the streets? So unfair.

      I suppose there are lots of ‘simple sabotage’ measures one could imagine. Remember in Hogan’s Heroes, they would distribute the dirt dug from the tunnels by slowly releasing it from a sack inside one’s trousers while walking about the concentration camp.

        That may or may not have happened in Hogan’s Heroes, but I’m pretty sure it’s probably from the film The Great Escape, and may have been based on real events

        Sabotage, huh? All I know is throwing bird seed on Tesla car lots and cop parking lots is good for the birds.

          Also. You’re thinking of Stalag 17. 😏

              I challenge you to find one earlier than Stalag 17!

              I don’t know that there isn’t one, I just challenge you.

7. No duplicate posts.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
