Let's give it up for Old Dutch chips! I like the onion and garlic, dill pickle, and restaurante style tostadas. How about you?

Why can't Chrysler get anything right this past decade? They were riding a hot streak in the 90's with the Ram, Intrepid, etc. What a long hard fall.

Need to vent a little bit, but also need some advice on whether I'm being out of line or just need to suck it up. I work nights, M-Th. When I started at this place, the hours were 2pm-12am, 4 days a week, with 3 day weekends. The 3 day weekend more than made up for any negatives of working...

School called for half an inch of powdery snow and a run on the local grocery stores. Amazing. What pansies we are teaching our kids to be. The pioneers who explored and settled this country would laugh in the face of our overfed wussified modern culture. Then they would spit tobacco juice on...

That's odd since natural gas prices are actually way DOWN this winter. We live in a place with radiators, no control over it but at least we're not paying for it. Oh wait, it's so frickin' cold in here that we had to buy an electric space heater! Cheap ash slumlords.

Factory CD players tend to not last nearly as long as the rest of the car. Two options: -Get an aftermarket stereo -Send it out to a company that repairs factory radios Both will cost about the same amount. No amount of prying, punching, verbally polluting, or praying will get it working again...

Not a fan of cheap knives. They make kitchen tasks much more of a pain than they ought to be. I spent 100 dollars on a Wusthof Chef's Knife a few years back, and it gets used daily. I don't put much stock into knife sets, one size fits all is my motto. One good chef's knife, a filet knife, and a...

I didn't dig into the original post, due to the tin foil topics listed in the table of contents. The danger of leftism, etc. Sounds goofy to me. Neither the far right nor the far left is the answer, we need some common sense and accountability in government. Those two things have been sorely...

Also, it snowed like crazy here Christmas Eve and then was around 40F Christmas night, immediately followed by much colder temps. So all of the side roads are extremely rutted and icy, it's like a torture test for cars. Too cold for salt to work. City and state budget cuts have mandated snow...

Low tonight here in St. Paul is -22F. For all you readers that reside in former British colonies, that equates to -30C. Northern MN is looking at lows of -33F tonight. Synthetic oil and a strong battery are almost mandatory in this kind of weather. Going outside for more than 2 minutes...

Could be the lower floor is sucking off all of the heat before it returns to the boiler. Lots of variables here - system design, boiler operation, pipe condition, etc. This time of year you should be getting more than lukewarm though. Heat rises, so the upper floor should actually be warmer if...

Originally Posted By: MGregoir I bought some beer mugs at Wal-Mart and was extremely surprised at the fact they were cheap, well made AND made in the USA. Yeah that caught me by surprise as well, I've become accustomed to big box store goods being cheap, cheaply made, and made offshore. I had...

Made in the USA, next time you're looking for drinking glasses, oven bakeware, mixing bowls, or glass storage containers, consider checking them out. I've always had good luck with their products, but results may vary. I know that a lot of people here are interested in Made in USA products, if...

My Red Wing hikers are becoming a pain with the almost bald soles this time of year, I've nearly wiped out on the ice about 5 times this week. I guess it's usually a compromise, most of the tactical/hiker style boots are comfortable but wear quickly, whereas the work boots last a long time but...

Most people will take time to complain, but won't say anything when satisfied. That's why online reviews need to be taken with a grain of salt.

It's a huge rip-off, but on most of the new cars you don't have a choice. Acura has recently started using "sidewinder" keys that require a special machine to make. (I think the machine itself cost thousands of dollars, and our parts department is mandated to buy one, it's basically a mini metal...

Since it only happens when warm, I would guess the ignitor inside of the distributor. However, when they fail it will often not start at all, especially after hot soak. Try wires first, then go from there. If it is still doing it, look into ignitor diagnostic procedures.

We're looking at temps of -15F here tonight, trust me when I say that when it gets this cold, even brand new cars will make funny noises for the first few seconds and maybe more. Gasoline has a hard time igniting when it gets this cold too, so the engine may sputter and have a slightly harder...

And what are you playing these days? Just got one for Christmas, picked up Rock Band 2 (great social game) and CODMW2 (amazing game, more of a solo thing) Just downloaded the demo for Dante's Inferno, wow that game is AMAZING. Will definitely be buying that one when it's out. Also looking...

First of all, I don't consider myself an expert on HDTV's, but I just bought one for Christmas and did a LOT of research before purchasing. From what the OP said he will not be viewing any sort of HD content (SD channels, DVD, Wii) so 1080p makes no difference. However, 1080p is somewhat...
