My stepdad chewed Cope for the longest time, but finally kicked the habit. My mom carries around a small bag of whole cloves in her purse, if he's in need of a dip after a few beers or whatever, he just pops some of those. Yeah, as a smoker I understand that it's not the same. But the physical...

I have a Sansa Clip 8gb and use Rhapsody as my computer music program. 8gb is plenty of space, the player itself is about the size of a matchbook, and it also has an FM receiver built in. Works well and sounds good. Girlfriend has an iPod classic and iTunes, slicker than grease but the iPod...

Page number 5 of this thread rocks! Good choices, all of them. Shoutout to MNGopher, I'm a member of Surly Nation too! Drinking on some Rush River Bubblejack tonight. Just a solid easy drinking session IPA. Got pretty drunk last night, was suffering from "Fitzgerald's Fugue" today. (Named...

Vitamin D is one of the vitamins that actually does help to take. My GF just had a physical, some bloodwork done, and her Vitamin D levels are woefully deficient. (This is Minnesota, we don't get much sun) I take vitamins about once a week, to make sure I'm not missing any trace nutrients. But I...

Another thing sadly about to become extinct: The ability to do basic math without a calculator. I noticed that the deposit counter at the bank now has calculators, which although convenient, says something about our culture. I always figure out tips in my head, but I'm the rarity. When 5 or 6...

Gotta cater to what the local market wants. A lot of Latinos are more into the visual, showy aspect of car culture as opposed to raw performance. I rarely ever go to "auto parts stores" because I often find a lot of junk that I don't need and employees that pretend to know it all but really know...

My 25 list. (This is my own, not from another site or blog) 25. CRT monitors 24. Music Stores (there will always be a few, but the days of one on every corner are gone) 23. Physical media (dvds, cds, etc) Downloading and streaming is the future 22. Ashtrays. Nobody smokes anymore, and if...

Wouldn't want it if I could. I'm pro gun rights, but have no use for a hand cannon like that. It had to be hot somehow, nobody would pitch a gun like that for no reason. Even the cop mentioned that it was a name brand gun, so it had to have cost a decent amount.

For anyone curious, it looked something like this: Link Not real knowledgeable about handguns, could have been a different brand, but looked similar.

.45 caliber with a fully loaded clip. Sitting underneath the tree, slightly rusty. Snowbank was about 2 feet deep until a few weeks ago, most likely someone tossed it in a panic. Called the police and they came and picked it up. Off to the crime lab. Pretty quiet neighborhood here, but it gets...

It's amazing how long some of those planes last, considering the stress that the airframe experiences every time it flies. Northwest (now Delta) was still flying DC-9's from the 1970's until recently. I'm sure there are more examples. Overall though, I would feel safer flying in something...

I don't understand why manufacturers even make these necessary. On any Honda car with TPMS, after you put air in the tire that's low on air, start the car, and wait about 2 mins, it will go out. The only time the light will stay on or blink is if there is a hard fault. Once the fault is fixed...

Most likely a sticky throttle plate. Somewhat common with GM. Cleaning the throttle body out with throttle body cleaner will most likely alleviate the issue.

Health benefits from taking vitamins have not been proven. However, it probably doesn't hurt anything either. Relying on vitamin pills as the exclusive source of nutrients is a bad plan. Diet, exercise, and lots of clean water is more important. If someone was actually deficient in a vitamin...

Alcohol = empty calories. That being said, if you are trying to avoid empty calories, you should not drink beer. Yes, some beers contain more calories than others due to leftover sugars from the ferment, etc. But let's face it, drinking fizzy water with that low of an alcohol content is just...

What do you guys use for shoe dressing? Not so much looking for a spit shine or polish type of thing, more just something that will protect the leather and keep it supple. I've been using 'Montana Pitch Blend' with good results. They make 2 products, an oil and a paste. Paste contains mink...

I'm gonna take a guess and say some idiot who was building the house ran a screw through the water pipe and didnt realize it or just left it.

I'm getting really, really sick of the plasticized indebted not built to last Dixie cup culture that we live in. These side by side filtered water sub zero compartment fridges are GREAT. Until they need an $800 dollar part 3 years later. Give me a top freezer/bottom fridge simple made in USA any...

You all are getting way off topic. This thread is not "Fox body vs Civic" Does Honda make some great world class engines? Yes. More so than many other companies? Yes. The best engines in the world? That's subjective. And why was the OP so lazy that he couldn't even type out the full word...

Full frame RWD cars with small displacement V8 engines and 4 speed transmissions are an inherently reliable design. Especially early 80's cars, the low HP output of the engine is easy on drivetrain components.
