Season II American Pickerman Yard Sale Pickers Edition Episode 30, No.62
Well, that 's all folks. Snow on the ground is the usual nail in the coffin and here is it. Finished pretty slow, making this a bit of a dull video, but who's complaining. This has been a too great of a year for any sour grapes. I'll still be making a few videos through the winter, so tune in once in a while and catch up. Happy Halloween, Happy Thanksgiving Merry Christmas, Happy Boxing Day, Happy New Year, and all of the holidays I missed- to you all!

Gott Thermos - A Diamond In The Rough
I recently got a 2 quart Rubbermaid Gott Thermos for 4 dollars from a bargain bin and didn't realize how useful and precious it can be. First of all, when people hear the word thermos, they imagine one of those tall, thin, vacuum flasks used by industrial workers to store hot coffee. The Gott Thermos I bought is not like that. It's basically an insulated plastic jug cooler similar to the more recent Coleman coolers. But it serves the same purpose, it's vacuum sealed and insulated so anything stored in it will maintain its temperature for a much longer time.
Another thing is that Gott thermos brands are rare and extremely hard to find these days, resulting in a cult-like following among collectors, so I guess finding it being sold cheap on a thrift store makes me all sorts of lucky, despite its importance and rarity being lost on me. I basically just bought the Gott thermos because I know I could have some use for it, and partly because it brought back memories from my childhood. As my childhood was spent in a school where plastic jugs and coolers similar to it were used in abundance.
The Gott thermos I brought home had a white colored lid with spout and handle, matched with a blue body. It's ten inches tall and six and a half inches around in size and can hold 2 quarts of water with temperatures ranging from hot, cold, or lukewarm. I haven't tested its limits but it can keep the temperature consistently for 4 hours. I haven't tested it much longer than that.
Lately I've been using the thermos more and more and becoming increasingly dependent on it. I put iced water on it and lug it along to the gym during my weekly workouts, and even got weird stares from officemates when I started bringing it to the office filled with hot coffee. I admit that hot coffee looked out of place in what looks like a water jug meant for cold water, but it works perfectly well for coffee as well. I think the box and paper that came with it explicitly mentioned said fact.
I also took it to the park a few days ago, having filled it with hot soup. It was perfect for the cold morning, just sitting on a bench with a Gott thermos and a plastic spoon having my way with the soup. I admit I must have looked like a well-dressed hobo that time, but it felt good and relaxing. It's a little convenience that may have gone a long way towards feeling refreshed and active longer and easier throughout the day.
Right now the trusty Gott thermos is beside my PC, as I find that filling it with hot coffee meant that I could save some time going back and forth from the computer table to the kitchen just to fix myself a cup, and I can also take my time in drinking the coffee without worrying about it going cold on me. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing but the 6 dollar thermos that nobody notices already became a large part of my daily life, and I hope that it's as durable and long lasting as its box claims.

The Failed Experiments of Evolutionists to Create Life Video
The Perpetual Failure of Evolutionists to Create Life Video. THE MILLER EXPERIMENT. It was Stanley Miller in 1953 who first produced amino acids from chemicals. We want to know how he did it, for THAT is the way the so-called "primitive environment" would have had to do it by merest chance: The laboratory apparatus he used to accomplish this consisted of two confluently interconnected, chemical flasks (or bottles), arranged one above the other. The lower flask was heated and contained boiling water. The upper flask contained a mixture of gases including ammonia, methane, hydrogen, and water vapor. (The upper flask had the presumed "primitive atmosphere," since it was known that if oxygen were present, the experiment would be a failure.) First, he boiled a mixture of water, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen gases in the upper bottle while a small electric spark continually played over them all. (That was supposed to be equivalent to a gigantic lightning ball in the primitive environment which might strike the spot once every so many years, instantly destroying everything it touched.) The lower bottle of water was kept boiling in order to keep the mixture in the upper bottle stirred up and circulating. (The "primitive ocean" must have been pretty hot!) There was a trap in the bottom of the glass apparatus to catch any soluble organic products, so they would not be broken down after formation by the spark. (Chemists knew that the Law of Mass Action would almost immediately have ...

The Vacuum Flask - Alias Thermos
Everyone has heard the term "Thermos", but most don't know much about why it works and where it came from. A good "Thermos" keeps your food or beverage hot or cold for an extended period of time.
Over a century ago in 1892 Sir James Dewar, a chemist and physicist, invented the vacuum flask. They were called Dewar Flasks. The first vacuum flasks commercially made were by a German company named Thermos in 1904. In 1963 the word "Thermos" was declared a genericied trademark. Today most do not ask for a vacuum flask, but instead ask for a thermos. Simply put, a thermos is a vessel which keeps the contents hot or cold by placing an empty space between the contents and the environment. The vacuum (empty space) is used for the thermal insulation. The contents are not in a vacuum condition. The contents are held in an inner flask.
A typical vacuum flask is made of plastic, glass, or metal with hollow walls. Think of two thin walled flasks, one inside of the other. The air is removed from the narrow space between the inner and outer walls. They are sealed together at the neck. The vacuum thus created minimizes heat transfer by either convection or conduction. Radiative heat loss can be minimized with the use of a reflective coating. Sir James used silver.
Heat is transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation. A large fire is an example of all three. The ground for several feet underneath the fire gets hot. This is conduction. Another example is to heat one end of a metal bar. Soon the other end is also hot. The second heat transfer source is convection. Convection occurs because when a liquid or gas gets hot, it tends to rise above the rest of the body. Think of the smoke and flames rising above the fire. The third source of heat transfer is radiation. The fire's heat you feel on your face is infrared radiation. Even though you are away from the fire, you can feel that heat. A thermos is made to minimize the transfer from all three sources.
The inner wall of the thermos is usually thin and has a low thermal capacity. Therefore, little heat is lost or gained when food or liquids are added. Some heat or cold is transferred where the two flasks are joined. The stopper is the area with the most potential for loss or gain. Originally the stopper was cork. While cork is still used, most stoppers are now plastic or rubber. To help retain the desired temperature, it helps to preheat or precool the thermos.
Does you thermos know if the fluid or food inside is hot or cold? Does it care? No. All your thermos is doing is limiting the heat transfer through its walls. This lets the contents maintain temperature for an extended period of time. Amazing invention isn't it?
