Reply to comment by RobleViejo in TIL Snow is an excellent insulator because it consists of about 90–95 percent trapped air (fresh). This is the reason why igloos are warmer inside than outside, and why some animals in colder regions build snow caves to spend the winter while hibernating. by SunCloud-777
When we're talking about being "warmer" inside it could still be below freezing. If it's negative 20C and windy outside having a space that's 0C with no wind will feel way warmer.

Wow, your costume turned out awesome.
Also, I wouldn't have guessed what you looked like before the makeup. It was a serious transformation.

Reply to comment by Aviator506 in TIL that passenger jet engines produce most of their thrust from fan at the front, not from the jet exhaust, and that this is called a high-bypass engine. by Rilot
> Yeah, most of the squeeze is done by the forward momentum of the engine through the air.
That is not true for commercial engines.

Modern engines can run pretty high compression ratios. The GE9X is advertised as having a 61:1 overall pressure ratio. I don't think you're going to see ~900 psi in a bike tire.
