Ever bathed in sea-water below 0°C?
I have. And most coastal ppl in Northern Europe are aware, you cool out much quicker in water than if you' simply cover yourself in Ice or snow. Cooling a solid object quicker, already saves time. But water's also a better insulator than Ice.
Ice melts at >0°C. Saltwater doesn't. So no endothermic reaction like in Ice neither. Best way to cool drinks quickly isn't Ice, but cold water. How do you keep below-zero water from forming ice? Salt!
tl;dr - Pretty common knowledge where I'm from (Ger/DK).

Reply to TIL that in 300 B.C. turkeys were viewed by the Maya as vessels of the gods and honored accordingly also were originally domesticated to play a part in religious rites. by cristianmonroy
Did you also know Turkeys are, indeed, named after the Turks? It was just confused with another, previously traded African bird from Turkish traders?
When settlers came to the US, they found today's Turkeys and called them like the "Turkey Cock" they knew from Europe. Barely anyone else in the World calls it "Turkey" at all.

Telemetry's a to-be-expected given. This is basically an Alpha/Beta-test. Including testing the user.
Wondering how anyone would expect any differently given today's data-hunger...
