You're just being difficult. You know what he means.

Shelf lives of these products:
Soup - 2 years
Tuna - 3 years
Instant Breakfast - 1 year+
Pasta Sauce - 2 years
Refried Beans - 2 years
Planters Peanuts 1 year
Cereal - 1 year
Granola Bars - 6 to 12 months
Tea - never

Frozen and refrigerated items you either don't buy in more than you can eat quantities, or you give them away before they go bad.

With a two year shelf life, I can eat a can of soup once every five days before it'll technically go bad. However, a lot of this stuff is still good even after the expiration dates.

Seems whatever he could have meant had directly to do with canned food.

Looks like most of that is canned. I was wondering what you'd do with large quantities of the rest, though. Guess you just eat stuff like yogurt quickly or give it away. But what will be the fate of those 400+ cereal boxes? Bought them all to give them away? That's pretty nice, actually.

I don't buy 400 boxes of cereal all at once. I usually buy them in sets of 50 to 100. Cereal gets eaten fast and its easy to give away, but its also very common to find good deals for.

_>, the 3rd gen iTouch has higher specs than his computer, and the 2nd gen iTouch is still about equal to it.

would make a decent BYOND hosting computer or mini webserver/fileserver/firewall with a light install of Debian Linux on it.

and watch the language in the future, please. (i edited your post to remove it)

and i have several computers here with worse specs. most running either as a BOINC client (distributed computing), or i clean them up, set them up for internet access, and give them away to people in need of net-capable computers.
