I don't even need to click on that link... all I gotta do is take a
leak outdoors here in winter.

I didn't read your links, but my dad was a physicist and he used to say
that, too.

Here is a hint. If both containers are sealed
then the hot water takes longer to freeze.

I don't know how I'd get by without the water on the outside now that
we've had it for many years. I probably use it 10 times a day. If
I get up during the night it will be just a few ounces, but still a
drink of water. I'd sacrifice all the door space and most of the
freezer space to have it. Of course, we do have a stand alone freezer
too.
