Probably not. Once he\'d bitten/thrown rocks at one delivery man, all the others avoided the place.

John Doe has all sorts of silly idea, and one of them is the idea that he can label people trolls, and that none of them can point out that he\'s a particularly horrible example of the top- posting troll.

This doesn\'t take any kind of authority at all - it\'s just another observation. Probably worth more than ones he makes, which aren\'t up to much.

The top-posting troll is projecting - as usual. Sane people steer clear of him, so his own example is all that he has to work from.

There are some canned foods that
taste very good, that would be difficult to reproduce with home
cooking. Considering the variety of such foods, they would be
impossible to reproduce with home cooking.

What canned foods do you like?

When I was a kid, my mom got most veggies out of a can. I thought
spinach, asparagus, artichokes, and peas were disgusting until I had
fresh ones. Even canned beans are a mockery of ones you can cook
yourself. Canned corn is not great either.

She even got \"new potatoes\" out of a can. And soup. And fish. And
\"potted meat.\" Sorry, that all turned me off to canned food.

Funny, we were sick a lot when we were kids. Lots of skin and tooth
problems too. Not any more. Fresh or frozen food is much better for
you than something that has been cooked to death and left in a can for
a year or three.


Year or three, or...Let\'s see how this 1964 ham & lima beans military
\"C\" ration has held up:

https://youtu.be/wIn5AYR1t-s

The military used to package electronic parts in tin cans, as field
spares for various climates. I remember getting surplus tubes and
rotary switches and variable caps in cans. They also put some parts in
cardboard boxes and dipped them in wax.

Of course, the cans, for parts and food, were soldered shut. A little
lead never hurt a tube.

Canned food holds up pretty well over a period of several years but like
those \"C\" rations in the vid sooner or later a spot of corrosion
develops and once it breaches even a lil bit it\'s all over for most
foods, it turns to toxic rot in short order. Peanut butter held up the
best, it seems to be able to stand a little air penetration without
going bad. That guy has eaten 50 year old canned peanut butter, lil
stale but still pretty good.

20, 30 year old modern vacuum-bag sealed MREs still taste about the same
as the day they were packed.


Remember Vienna Sausage in cans? Pork and Beans? Repulsive.




Tried vienna sausage one time, never again. I\'ll eat dinty moore beef
stew in a pinch, like Hurricane Sandy/Irene a few years back when the
power was out a few days here.

I was in Louisiana just after Katrina, staying with my nephew near the
levee, north of NOLA. Down the street was a parking lot where a gang
of scientologists would fill your car with MREs for the asking. Bobby
had a couple hundred. Some were pretty good, some not.

Sandy and Irene were nothing like Katrina in this area, thankfully.
Gloria in 1985 was much worse in Massachusetts, our little house took a
tree to the master bedroom which was thankfully unoccupied at the time.

The ones the old-timers here spoke of with awe was the \"Long Island
Express\" unnamed hurricane of 1938:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1938_New_England_hurricane>

or the \"Lady from Hell\" in 1954:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Carol>


We lost power for a couple of days in the \'89 earthquake. Cleaned out
the freezer, ice cream first.

I was in 6th grade when that happened. But I remember seeing the news
that evening. Even at that age I thought that double deck highway was a
pretty bad design for an earthquake-zone....
