Your pumpernickel is reproducing at an alarming rate.

Wow.
I have to get one of these for the shop.
Some paints and stains (and casting resins, that sort of thing) must be stirred carefully, if at all, because they can get bubbles in them, which ruins the finish.
If they do get foamy, the best way to get rid of the bubbles is to, yes, put the stuff under a vacuum so the bubbles expand and pop.
I wonder if this thing generates enough of a vacuum to do that.

DJMoore - If not, the Food Saver surely will (use mason jars or available larger lids).

Aren't you worried about the cosmic environmental/health damage that these things can wreak?
Look, it's like antibiotics. Pretty soon vacuum-resistant microbes will be artificially selected-for in these things.
That means that Earth will no longer be insulated from the rest of the cosmos by the outer-space vacuum, so these microbes will be able to migrate to and infect other planets, thereby dashing any hope that mankind will eventually be able to colonize alien planets.
Clearly, we need some kind of vacuum ethics regulation and licensing, ideally under UN auspices.
I'm sure there's a thesis or a lucrative grant in this ... maybe even (dare I hope?) an Academy Award or a Nobel ... and a big-ass houseboat. -

Still not buying Rodg. Please let us know again in 2 months if that seal hasn't sprung a leak.
