Growing up out in this part of the world, virtually all the old-timers put up their fish in jars or cans. My uncle had a tin can, or my dad's mom had a tin can for quite a while. There was a way of life back then; we gave it a little bit of olive oil to tune it up a bit.

I'm fortunate enough that I lived that way myself, that I know how to do all that stuff. When the oxygen in here gets hot, it leaves again. When they cool down, it creates a vacuum, either really destroying all the bacteria.

A lot of people that have lived out here for a while kind of take this lifestyle for granted, but it's fragile, you know? It could end with just a minor event. I'm really happy that I've been able to enjoy it, and to me, it's paramount that we take care of our resources so people can live like this out here.

That way, now it's a waiting game. They're sealing; see that a little bit of cool air got to them, and so I can just touch the tops, and they go pop, pop, pop. Nice stuff! There we go; I'd call that white and gold for wintertime.

How a Shark Attack Survivor Invented Cage Diving

A lot of people would say you have got reason more than most to hate sharks, and yet you don’t. Can you explain it? It was in a spear fishing championship that I was the reigning champion. It was a six-hour competition. After four hours, many fish had …

Change in centripetal acceleration from change in linear velocity and radius: Worked examples

We are told that a van drives around a circular curve of radius r with linear speed v. On a second curve of the same radius, the van has linear speed one third v. You could view linear speed as the magnitude of your linear velocity. How does the magnitud…

Worked example: Finding the percent ionization of a weak acid | AP Chemistry | Khan Academy

Let’s say we have a 0.20 molar aqueous solution of acetic acid, and our goal is to calculate the pH and the percent ionization. The Ka value for acetic acid is equal to 1.8 times 10 to the negative fifth at 25 degrees Celsius. First, we need to write out…

Moral realism doesn't help you (much)

Moral nihilism, uh, the belief that moral facts don’t exist, or at least that’s how I’m going to define it here. Lord Hawkeye gives the impression that he does believe the moral facts exist. I’m not certain that he really does. A couple of his remarks abo…
