NRA Attacks Hillary

"The head of the National Rifle Association (NRA) warned Hillary Clinton on Thursday that she faces a long and bitter fight over gun control should she win the White House, declaring: “Bring it on.”

Wayne LaPierre, chief executive of the powerful gun rights lobby group, launched a scathing attack on Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and the media, claiming that the NRA has helped protect millions of children by advocating armed guards at schools.

Clinton “has been clear about one thing – she hates the second amendment”, LaPierre told the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) near Washington. “She hates us and is coming after every bit of our freedom."

Actually, time has nothing to do with food being "done".  It is based on temperature alone.  I've heard my chef wife explain this for many semesters in a culinary class she teaches at the local JUCO.
Carry on...

That may quite well be true, but it takes more time for an egg to be done in boiling water that is 200 degrees than it does when the boiling water is 212.

I wouldn't be surprised if she became the first woman President.

One can only hope!

The preamble isn't governing; it is an introduction and an overall  statement of purpose.  The articles of the Constitution are governing.

That it can be done. That long extinct species can be brought back to life if we want. Yes, Jurassic Park is possible.


But but but.....don't they remember how that ended?

It isn't photoshopped.  I don't think there even was photoshop back then.

Dukakis In Tank



"Twenty years after his loss to George H. W. Bush, Michael Dukakis is perhaps his own toughest critic. In 1988, then Governor Dukakis used the "Massachusetts Miracle"—the transformation of his state into an economic engine—to spellbind Democrats in the primaries. But the magic didn't work in the general election; he won only 10 states and the District of Columbia. The photo of Dukakis with a dopey grin and a huge helmet aboard a tank was turned into an ad ridiculing him as soft on defense... "

The software here in our forum is easier to use than the new stuff over there.  The only new thing there that is good is the way to post photos.

aaahhhh... if water takes longer to boil because it boils at a lower temp at altitude, wouldn't that mean the pasta would be placed in the "boiling" water at a earlier time, which means it would be earlier when "done"?  People generally don't place pasta in water at a temperature, they start the cooking process at the time water boils.  What am I missing?

Given the same amount of heat (burner level), the water doesn't take a longer time to boil.  It boils faster, because it boils at a lower temperature.  The food takes a longer time to cook to the same level because the temperature is lower.

So those folks in Denver get their pasta a bit quicker than us flatlanders.  I would seem my altitude envy has no end....

Well, no.  Food is "done" based on temperature and time.  If the boiling water is at a lower temperature, it will take more time for the same level of doneness.  Try it will hard-boiled eggs.

It's actually that water cannot remain liquid BELOW a certain pressure.  If you put room temp water in a vacuum chamber, you can make it boil at room temperature pretty easily.




Which is why water boils at a lower temp in Denver than it does in Death Valley.

Didn't do him much good though.
