WAIT I LITERALLY DISCOVERED THAT YESTERDAY

If you guys wanna know why you can't call it "con", it's because the OS uses that specific keyword for "connections" with the hardware of the device. With how the file system operates, it needs to reserve some folder names for quick access (you KNOW how long it takes for the file lookup system to find a file).

ig technically the snow isn’t burning, the bottom of the pot is, but it gives the aura of burning (and also does scorch your snow and leave a burnt flavor) because snow is a very poor conductor so instead of the heat from whatever the source is under the pot melting the snow it just starts burning the pot. like essentially if u didn’t have snow in it at all! it’s bad for your pot and doesn’t melt your snow so u surround it with enough water(which is a much better conductor) and then your snow all becomes water yippee!! learned this from nearly burning snow in the backcountry 😭
