My dad recommended to stay away from Carmax (he's a retired mechanic, used to work at a Chrysler dealership), but what in particular is bad about Carmax?

I'm still debating on what I'm going to get. I looked at a 2010 Hyundai Elantra Blue and did in fact try driving it around the parking lot even though I have next to no experience with a stick and it's been over a decade since I was in one. I sputtered and stalled a bunch of times (several...

My 2000 Chrysler died a little over two weeks ago and I'm currently trying to find a car. Engine is shot in the old car, it had 108,500 miles on it. I figured it was going to go within the next couple years due to the crap engine those cars had in them but it was a little earlier than I...

Yeah, the ban is on flavored cigarettes. Covers clove as well, but not menthol. Have heard that Djarum will slightly change the size and market their cloves as "cigars" to evade the ban due to the wording.

Huh, I haven't had any issues with FiOS service. I only have the internet service, though, I don't care about TV (if I want to see something I just find a torrent or use Netflix). I've been doing over 300 GB / month traffic for several months and not heard a peep out of Verizon.

I'm 31 and rarely get carded for anything around home. A few months back I was in Boston and got carded for EVERYTHING, even tobacco purchases. Hell, I got carded in a convention dealer room before I could look at a dealer's porn comics selection. I have a beard and my 27-year old wife (well...

I think I may be changing my opinion on Grov Svart. I'm starting to like that rye-bready flavor. It's quite a bit different from the bergamot flavored types.

I got my Northerner order in a couple days ago. Thus far here's my impressions - all are portion except General Loose: General Original Portion: Just salty enough, good bergamot quality to it, overall not bad. I have to use two portions at once, though. General Original White: Mostly the...

There is a side benefit to oral health with higher pH as well, as it helps neutralize the acids that attack teeth. Also, snus contains little sugar (only what is in the tobacco itself) so there's nothing much for oral bacteria to convert to lactic acid unlike most US chew/dip. I think most...

Doc Hammer (co-creator of The Venture Bros.) has that, and it affects part of his scalp leading to a permanent non-pigmented white streak in his hair. At least in his case, it looks kinda cool.

Snus is actually alkaline - it contains sodium carbonate.

Found out a local place carries General. I picked up a can of Original Portion and the Wintergreen White Portion (I asked for the plain White, but I didn't notice until I loked at the can later that he gave me the wrong thing). Not complaining as I wanted to try the wintergreen anyway. First...

I'm thinking that it likely was a straight-up suicide, as he had stated in interviews that he had considered jumping off a building or shooting himself before. Not out of depression, but out of having no fear of death. He said he was having a great time even when he considered suicide, and it...

I've never tried "real" snus before, but being as I already go through several pinches of Grizzly and/or Kodiak a day at work I thought I'd give the Camel Snus a go. I picked up a can of the "mellow" flavor, and it smells pretty good, kinda mango-y or something. I put in one pouch and it...

I avoided brewing this past weekend due to the ants swarming in the kitchen. I put out the homemade boric acid sugar baits around mid-week, and as of yesterday the ants were gone.

Is it little tiny sugar ants? I've had problems in the past but got rid of them. Yesterday they came back in the kitchen. Here's my method that clears them out quickly: Mix 1/2 cup HOT water with 1 cup sugar and 1 tbsp boric acid powder. Spoon the syrup over cotton balls in soda bottle...

How does snus compare with the typical US dip tobacco taste-wise?

There's got to be at least one person he can tell that could help out. One of my friends got a DUI a while back and the first thing he did when he called me was say he got pulled and had to go to court. At least in his case he got to keep his license (got reckless driving instead, but is on...

We bought a place last year that we had been already living in for a couple years and paying rent on, but turns out the first time homebuyer credit didn't apply to us. The former owner is my mother-in-law, so the credit doesn't apply. The county assessment on the property has gone down since...

I watched the first two seasons but dropped it when it fell into a pit of suck in early third. I haven't cared enough to try to suffer through the rest of third to catch up.
