    "Healthy eaters" - Your favorite junk food?

    So after years of avoiding McDonalds, a few days ago something in me wanted a Big Mac. Turned out I didn't like it, probably should have sinned with a Whopper instead. The fries were good though. If you consider yourself normally a healthy eater, what junk food do you occasionally break down for?

    Humor: Walmart Product Review

    Review of a memory foam topper on Walmart.com: Quote: I bought this in store and when I got it home and unrolled it, I was immediately disappointed.

    Affixing brackets to fiberglass

    I need to attach some metal brackets to fiberglass. I've decided not to drill and use screws due to the danger of the fiberglass cracking and also because it could be hollow. Is there any glue that could be recommended for something like this? Command strips from 3M have been considered and...

    Lubricheck experiences?

    I saw a couple of threads where people had purchased the Lubricheck or it's predecessor. For those who don't know, these are the devices that let you check your TBN at home. What are people's experiences with them? Out of everything measured in a UOA, I am primarily interested in the TBN to...

    When to buy sprinkler parts

    I'm overhauling my sprinkler system. My designs are complete and I know exactly what parts I am buying. The total cost of replacement parts comes to ~$300.

    Double Oven Repair

    I have a Bosch double oven which has started to act up. Firstly, the top oven, which is used the most, decided to come on by itself after it was used and turned off. After turn off, it spent several minutes (as is normal) running the fan to expel heat, but after that, it started up again. So I...

    Chrome 64 bit - memory issues

    A while ago I saw Chrome had a 64 bit version in beta. I declined to upgrade thinking it best to wait for the official version. I installed it the other day, and for the first time, I began to get memory warnings when I opened lots of tabs. I have 8gb memory and have opened many tabs on the...

    Dealer warranty rant

    Why is it that dealer's make it the customer's problem because they don't like to do warranty work? As I see it, they became dealers and signed a contract with the manufacturer. If they didn't want to do warranty work, they shouldn't have become dealers! Isn't this an "entitlement" mentality?

    Favorite flavors & brands for chips

    I'm going through a bit of a phase with salt and vinegar chips. It's always been my favorite flavor but I recently discovered the Boulder brand using malt vinegar and it's perhaps the best I've had. Tried some other brands afterwards and for me they don't compare. So now I'm intrigued on what...
