I can't tell you anything directly, but this was interesting:
http://video.bobvila.com/m/21320565/converting-steel-shipping-containers-to-housing.htm
This means wielding a cuttin' torch... that's a lot of labor. They also
mentioned welding the floor joists between the two halves. That would
have to be done very carefully
The figure quoted was $45 a square foot. They have to use a
high-thermal-density ceramic coating on the outside ( because
of solar load in Florida ). If the containers comprise half the square
footage, that half of a 2k sq ft house is $45,000. Yowch. If
the rest is half that, then the whole thing costs $67,500 for
2k sq ft.
To be honest with you - I bet you can find a short sale or
repo quicker and cheaper than you can get this done. You're still
on the hook for trusses, interior and flooring. I don't remember
the exact ratio, but getting a concrete block shell in Florida was
pretty cheap when last I checked. People there are pretty hard up.
If you had a site that was appropriate for rammed earth,
had local materials on your land for the exterior parts that
show, these might be interesting - ignoring rust. But the value-add
is extensive.
And finally, if you just go hacking on these, you're likely
to compromise them. They're an engineered "exoskeleton" - the
skin is load-bearing. You can make mistakes if you don't know
the engineering.
What I could visualize is using these on a hillside site as part of a
cantilever structure, but ... that's way over my head engineeringwise.

Do you have Internet Cafes, or a public library with free access and
workstations, in your area? If you have a notebook with WiFi, a place
with WiFi access for the price of a cup of coffee can give you a high
bandwith link.

If there's some way you can get to that video, I would before
spending dime one. Ask at your public library.
IMO ( just IMO, mind you ), it's a bust,
especially in a down builder's market. But it depends on what
you have in mind. $45 a square foot, he says.
The opening of the box is too narrow for much beyond storage, and
the cost of widening it is very high. But again, if you had
the right site, and the right skills... you'd be better off
working for money and not doing this :)

We aren't so sophisticated to have access to that material.
We are a town of 700.
After the storm, I'll make way to the cafe internet, if it is still in
operation.
Up here, it stores are here one day, gone the next.
One thing for sure, I'm not paying 45 a ft.
When I bought this place, I read books that said I would be paying 3 times
the cost per sq ft. that I actually paid. It was during another down market,
plenty of workers. I know enough myself to do the wiring, except the fuse
box,
plumbing, sheetrock, floors. And, enough to make the workers honest.
Up here, you can do as much as you like on your
own without inspectors, except for the fuse box, and septic.
Thanks to adult education classes and a bunch of books, I got off cheap.
The college we have close to me is an environmental school. I mentioned the
container housing, to the powers that be, container living is considered
"Green". so
I believed this school would be in the Know.
I was looked at as
having 3 heads.

There is this concept called "backups" which I highly recommend. In fact,
I found it appalling that Microsoft consumer operating systems didn't
incorporate a backup program prior to Windows XP (other than "copy").
Now, with low-cost flash and external USB drives or DVD writers, there's
no reason to not be making backups. Remember to store them offsite, too.
If you had a hard drive crash, data can frequently be recovered--but the
cost is pretty high.

That all the doomsday soothsayers were wrong, as usual, particularly
since most of them knew next to nothing about IT. I've been working in

The network I was supporting had no problems, and I don't personally
know anyone who did have any.

You wouldn't happen to be listening to that overnight show, would you?
That one, I am not getting sucked into. The Maine winters are more
threating to me than 2012.
Now, I had a friend that worked in the high tech business, he validated
the worry. I haven't heard from him since, as I lost my computer.
I would love to hear his explanation, however. He was one of the
BRAINS in school. So I took it serously. I have since wised up.

It depends. You have to measure it very carefully and decide only
after all the facts are in. This assumes you can *find* all
the facts.
We're not "giving" anything to foreign countries - they send in goods,
we send over government bonds in exchange. Now they're holding the
bonds, which means they're "partnered" with us. They're "the bank", and
"if you owe the bank a billion dollars, you own the bank".
I think fighting poverty is important. And I have seen materials which
claim ( and the claims are backed up with numbers ) that the queen
of this prom, WalMart, has done more for the material wellbeing of
poor people than all the government programs combined.
Is that true? I don't know. But it's something to think

Well, sure. But it's harder than it looks. I'm a big nuke
fan. I think we should use nukes to "make oil", of we can
find enough carbon feedstocks to do it. But I really
don't know what that costs now, or will cost when it's
a mature technology. I'm pretty sure it would cost a whole
lot more than what we're doing now, but at present, we don't even
have a model for the question "what's the replacement cost of
a barrel of oil."

Norman Podheretz has a book out about this. I saw him
give a talk on the subject* on CSPAN, and I think he's
probably about right. We can therefore presume that there
are "conservatives" who are inflexible and dogmatic, too - but
that for whatever reason, the side that seems to have the momentum
in being innovative in politics is the Right - this being
the old pendulum swing. It just seems to be this way - the
Left is trying to catch up, and not doing New Stuff.
*which is what people do now instead of reading the book :)
Maybe arguing about left and right is a waste of time,
and arguing about facts is better. Unfortunately, the
left v. right thing is apparently better entertainment.
And I quote Leonard Nimoy from "The Simpsons" - "Hello.
I'm Leonard Nimoy. The following tale of alien encounters
is true. And by true, I mean false. It's all lies. But
they're entertaining lies. And in the end, isn't that
the real truth? The answer is: No."

The amount of salt used to cure a ham is a lot more per weight than the
amount used to draw liquid out of eggplant. For salt to do effective
preservation, there has to be a pretty high concentration of it.
Or, the landfills are filled with well-preserved french fries...
Actual Frugal Content: Dinner last night included included a Japanese
eggplant and peppers from my garden.
Which had frost on it this morning, blast it.

It would be fine unsalted too. Essentially because there is no
bacteria that matters with those eggplant slices. And she only
sliced it up to apply the salt to get rid of the bitter taste anyway.
The eggplant would survive fine not cut up, out of the fridge overnight.

You make my statement more complicated than it was , Rod Speed.
My point is, salt has a the ability to retard bacteria growth. Bacteria
that causes the breaking down (rotting) process to begin. Wasn't that the
question? I wasn't making any point about cooking procedure and outcome.
Perhaps, I misread the original question, if the only question was, is it
eatable, without wondering about the safety (being left out all night) The
lady said it was salted, so safe. I elaborated on why it was probably safe.
So, I wonder : the rest of the story? Was it eaten or not. It would be
nice to hear from the original posters.

There is no 'breaking down (rotting) process'
with slices of eggplant not in the fridge overnight.
The most that might happen is that they might dry out a bit.

Nope, the question was whether it was safe to eat it.
Of course it is.

The question was indeed about the safety.

But mangled the story completely because no brine was involved.

Doesnt matter. What matters is that it was safe to eat.

And that is correct. Every other modern first and second world
country gets its health care for HALF the percentage of GDP that
the US does. And on any sensible measure like longevity and years
in good health, every other first world country does better too.

And the voter's beliefs too. They've been in favor of those unspeakable
'socialist' schemes of the VA system, Medicare, social security, public
education, the cops, the military, the judiciary etc etc etc for quite some time now.

You're so stupid that you havent even noticed that the US already has

No, it isn't:
Some poster:
You think that it is wrong to make money by providing healthcare?
The looter Coburn:
Nope. It is the profits from providing health _insurance_ that are
"wrong" (meaning economically perverse).
Later, when I said that insurance provides the valuable service of risk
pooling, the looter Coburn cam back with:
That is not an explanation of how profit incentive in health
insurance systems provide a social plus as such profit incentives do
in actual productive enterprises.
So, you're either a liar, blind, or just fucking stupid.

No, they don't. It's a smaller percentage, but it isn't half. You're
lying or ill informed.
It's also beside the point.

There is far more to longevity figures than medical care.

From: Vastcom Publishing
If you are looking for wealth creation, financial freedom, emotional
well-being, privileged information, or natural health remedies then
you have come to the right place. This is an invitation for you to
join the Global Information Network (GIN). Visit the main website at
www.globalinformationnetwork.com for more information. There you can
listen to three audios that will describe what GIN is all about and
read how GIN was formed and by whom. I have been a member for three
months now and have seen how GIN has evolved and proven itself to be
all that it claims.
When you go to the main webpage you have the choice of signing up as
an affiliate or a member. Joining as an affiliate is free and has some
good benefits, but is obviously limited. Joining as a member has
infinitely more benefits and costs an initial due of $1,000 and
monthly dues of $150. This may seen like a lot of money to some, but
let me explain why you should be able to make this back and then some
next year. Those who join as members now and until the end of October
2009 will be considered a "Visionary" because they joined at the
beginning of GIN. This means that they will be awarded a cash bonus
of $5,000 when level 5 is reached, which can easily be done next
year. This even assumes that you won't get a single person to join
that brings in commissions for you and it doesn't count the other cash
bonuses for advancing in membership levels along the way. From an
investment standpoint, you really can't lose.
For those who are highly motivated and are skilled at sales, you will
have the chance to not only become a "Visionary" but to become a
"Founder" as well. If you are able to get 10 other people to join as
members by the end of October 2009, then you will receive a cash bonus
of $20,000 (once again paid at level 5), $2,000 in commissions paid
within one month, and an all expense paid trip to the GIN winter
conference in January every year for life! If this doesn't motivate
you I don't know what will!
So, go to www.globalinformationnetwork.com and sign up today. I would
encourage you to join for free as an affiliate first so that you can
get a better feel for GIN, especially if money is tight for you right
now. As an affiliate you can participate in the commission structure,
listen to the weekly audio updates, and have access to the affiliate
training (seminars and marketing tools). Later on you can join as a
member and have access to the confidential information, training
events, and greater money making opportunities. If you are asked for
an affiliate code, use 150021. I look forward to sharing this
exciting experience with you! If you have any questions or concerns,
you can contact me at: mastercondorcop@aim.com
