    obama closed Gitmo on January 22, 2009 by executive order directing it be done within 1 year.

    I can see obama doing the same for immigrants. He knows he can't do anything but sign a useless piece of paper that the media will triumphantly laud him and the democrats for, and then be curiously silent on how it had absolutely no effect at all.

    It keeps the uniformed voting for the democrats, and it feeds the infotainment that's making Limbaugh Millions of dollars.

    I think that the failure with space exploration in our lifetimes will be because it's one nation or another trying to one up each other for some stupid reason.

    It's pathetically sad that the space challenging nations don't pool resources in a genuine push to grow beyond earth.

    canning foods yes, but canning itself has been around for quite a lot longer. I'll also note that you are now flailing and trying to win on semantics.

    What was pastuers motivation to can food?

  9. Oh, I see where you are failing on A Library For Survival Knowledge · · Score: 1

    You still are talking about lids.

    If you cook the food to where it's free of microbes, then use a Layer of bees wax to cover it, as long as nothing disturbs the bees wax, the food will be preserved.

    You do know that bees wax does not rot right? You do know that bees wax from egyptian tombs proves it right? You are assuming that combining modern canning methods with a bees wax lid (not a metal lid) is impossible.

    Why don't you actually try to preserve some tomatoes for a year and come back and revisit your own posts.

    And that is why you continue to flail.

    And just when I thought you hit rock bottom, you grab a pickax and start digging.

    So here it is, me and you, you have no lids left - it's years after the apocalypse. You can't preserve any food for the winter.

    You laugh at me while I continue to use old canning techniques, Predicting that I will die.

    Midway thru winter, I'm spooning preserved apples in my mouth, while you, starving to death still laughs at me because I'm tempting death.

    When winter ends, I come over to your house and see that you have propped yourself up against the wall - then died after leaving me a sarcastic and withering letter about how much smarter you are because you know that there's no way on God's green earth that anyone could ever survive like their ancestors did.

    Boy, your fancy high fallutin technology and pop science really showed me eh?

    For Microsoft to be truly competitive, a PC with a preloaded MS system where the MS OS is denied, should entitle the purchaser to a full refund of retail price from microsoft.

    That way, people who hate 8.1 can migrate to win 7 at the expense of Microsoft.

    That would also allow small site PC builders to compete with the crap factories of Dell and other large scale manufacturers by reducing it to a hardware and labor price point.
