    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    He got a phone call and laid his brush down on the painting. Then he was distracted or lost interest temporarily long enough for the paint to dry and stuck the brush to the painting. Then he decided not to ruin his painting by ripping the brush off. Later thinking it would be hard to frame with...

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    It freezes from the outside in trapping bubbles inside. Same as salt water. If it wasn't for the bubbles, it would be a lot less expansive unless it was heated, in which case, it is like pretty much anything else, it becomes warmer and expands. General Chemistry Online: FAQ: Solutions: Does...

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    0º K is a temperature and atoms have no choice as to proximity. Or did you mean higher "temperature is a proxy physical concept for atoms not being able to stay close together" ?

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    If you believe gods exist or care, I suppose. Personally I don't think if they exist that they give a hoot about what goes on with the 3rd rock. So, IMO, the religious reason for having pets is just goofy. I eat my chickens. Eating them is a practical reason for having them. Same with the deer...

    Death knell for AGW

    Perhaps James Murray's local high school is surrounded by litter but the one near here isn't. And the kids are definitely more environmentally responsible than kids in my days of school. Anyway, Murray has an opinion ..... whoopee It can join the thousands of other opinions.

    Quick Pickles...

    Better to be safe than sorry. Until/unless we get a pressure canner we'll can veggies and fruits at 40 minutes, cooked meats at 90 minutes, and raw meats at 2 hours. We like home canned stuff, but if someone wants those sweet types of pickles they can get their own. A Danish friend in the...

    Quick Pickles...

    I've never had a pressure canner. I think processing for 40 minutes minimum (fruits, veggies), 2 hours for raw meats, 90 minutes for cooked meats is enough to kill bad bugs. I suppose one could shorten the time by using a pressure canner though.

    Quick Pickles...

    Yeah, there's a myriad of bugs that like to feast on human tasties. Not many that will go after pickled things, but regular canned things are attractive if one isn't careful; canned chicken and fish come to mind. Campylobacter jejuni Clostridium botulinum Escherichia coli Salmonella typhimurium...

    Death knell for AGW

    Not to me. Nature to me is a concept as well as a word. An undescribably huge concept encompassing an undescribably huge fact. The universe exists, I exist in it with my concept of it and it's counterpart - nothing. It Simply is. Truth as fact is not subjective. Anyway, the subjective part for...

    No heating. I can't see any point in reheating the juice in order to seal a jar when it's contents don't even have time to settle before someone's fingers are in there probing for a goodie. lol

    Death knell for AGW

    There are no exceptions to the rule? When I decided to get a bachelor's degree, what I was deciding to learn was basically culture. That included past cultures that are long gone. I didn't choose the past, I simply chose to observe whatever I could find about it.
