    Bacon cold cuts, twice as bad for you?

    That looks like cottage bacon. Basically get a boneless boston butt, cut horizontally to remove the loose meat portions, and what you are looking at is the bottom piece cured into bacon. It's quite good. I think some also call it buckboard bacon. Normally it is fully cooked when smoked, so you...

    Those with 5.3's weigh in

    99 Silverado parked in 2017. 254k on both the 5.3 and 4l60e. Both are fine. Numerous other things went. Things that parked it were cracked frame and rusted all over.

    Help needed picking new laptop backlit, Win10, Core i5 < $500?

    If you have access to Costco, this machine is not bad at $530. Should be on par with the 8000 series Intel with better graphics. Maybe a bit behind the AMD 3000 series in graphics though if that matters to you. https://www.costco.com/dell-inspiro...g1---1080p---blue.product.100514954.html...

    Help needed picking new laptop backlit, Win10, Core i5 < $500?

    https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/5312903/Lenovo-Flex-15-Laptop-156-Touch/ The only thing I do not really like is the lack of keypad for numbers in a 15" model https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/9881517/Asus-VivoBook-15-F512DA-EB51-156/ With keypad. but AMD processor. I like AMD, but...

    Saab 9-7x Aero Flickering Lighting

    Thanks for the advice. Great place to start. Going to try rewiring the ground first. Don't have a graphing multimeter, but I'll find someone that does.

    Saab 9-7x Aero Flickering Lighting

    So far checked the obvious grounding locations, but not the via a wiring diagram. Battery seems ok. Acts like very coarse voltage regulation.

    Saab 9-7x Aero Flickering Lighting

    I have a stock 2009 9-7x Aero. Other than cosmetics, it is more or less a Trailblazers SS. Very recently noticed that the dash lighting is flickering/strobing ever so slightly, but enough to draw your attention at night. Also noticed the dome light will do the same. Headlights slightly as well...

    Does castrol edge 0w30 perform like a 0w40

    Have a very high mileage truck that has to be worn beyond most and runs well on 40wt when warmed up. However, even after 250k miles, still notice a big difference on startup greatly favoring the 30wt until warm, then all seems relatively the same. If your a short tripper, definitely stay 30wt.

    JFK files released

    I recall reading these files already when polishing the ark of the covenant. Not as interesting a read though as the files from Area 51. Over and out from my Faraday Cage.

    VW Atlas #2

    Interested in your opinion of acceleration and nimbleness. As for 1st year purchases, I've got a 1st year 1999 silverado with 256k miles, original engine, original transmission, and the body rotting out after 18 years. Sure the taillgate latch broke, the tailgate hangers rotted away, fuel gauge...

    Computer help - AMD vs Intel processor for desktop

    I have not been following the hardware over the last decade as closely as I used but I believe the AMD A6-7310 and the A10-8700P are actually cpus normally installed in notebooks. Without cracking the case, these may actually be notebook motherboards mounted in a desktop box. Being a notebook...

    Best engine oil for Audi A4 B6 1.8T

    Had a 2001 VW Jetta 1.8T, but I think the same holds true for your A4. Used oversized Mann w950/4 (I think was the model). It's huge, a bit tight, but it'll fit. Adds a bit more oil capacity. Was not picky about oil except that it was synthetic (so it didn't coke up the turbo) and carried A3/B4...

    60V Cordless Dewalt Tools

    My only concern would be weight vs 18v tools with extra batteries or the like. It looks like they are not much bigger than 18v cordless tools so they could be ok.

    Nail Set

    Starrett, I believe, makes a set of brass punches of varying radius heads. Been a while, but I think it was around $50 for 6 or 8 different punches in a pouch.

    Diabetic Rib Rub

    I eat an extremely low carb diet. Generally shoot for a 30 carb per day limit. For powdered use like dry rubs, I use Truvia. It's stevia (a plant extract) mixed with erythritol (a very low GI suger alcohol as a carrier). Most sugar free sweeteners use dextrose or maltodextrin as a carrier so...

    Drilling a water well.

    Interesting. Useful for the right soil conditions. Alot cheaper than my 6" well 800 foot deep (798 feet of rock) for a whopping 5 gal/min at best.

    Smith and Wesson Model 10

    Educational read on +P ammo http://shootingwithhobie.blogspot.com/2009/01/p-phenomenon-by-saxonpig.html The most effective load you can use is the one you can get on target accurately and quickly. So control should be your #1 priority, not power. With that said, my 357 is loaded with 125gr...
