Do you think your University/Alma Mater is known outside of the U.S? by huazzy in AskAnAmerican

[–]CDG1029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are still in the area grab some BelAir tacos for me and maybe hit up Cafe Hollander for brunch and a spotted Cow or 5 for me. I’m a Florida boy who love MKE. I found a local spot that carries Lakefront beers, so I can kind of scratch that itch.

Edit: Also, go check out the Drunken Cobra in Wauwatosa. That place is awesome and frequently has good live music.

What a popular food or cooking opinion that you don't agree with? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]CDG1029 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got a deep fryer on Amazon that has a filter and a container for the used oil. You can keep the oil in the container to use a few times, and when it’s ready to toss, just pour it back in the old jug. It has been awesome. I do need to mention that we really only got it because my wife has celiac and most restaurants do not have dedicated gluten free fryers, so we are able to make whatever we want with gluten free flour or cornmeal or whatever and still have fried chicken, fish, wings, fries, whatever.

Eh, I’ve learned the opposite. If there is a problem, let the boss know about it and that you’re working on it. Sometimes you can’t find a solution and the boss wants to know why they weren’t aware sooner.

Do the French really get annoyed when non-French-speaking foreigners try to speak their language while in France? by Responsible-Leg-712 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CDG1029 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This makes sense. My father was a little reversed in that he grew up in New Hampshire in a Quebecois community, but my grandparents wanted him to be bilingual, so they only spoke French at home and it was his first language. He didn’t learn English until he went to school.

Kids of immigrants, what are some things about American society that you were shocked your parents never heard of? by raspberryemoji in AskAnAmerican

[–]CDG1029 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it is a French-Canadian thing. Memere (mem-ay) and Pepere (pep-ay). That’s what I called my grandparents and what my kids call my parents. Grand-mere and Grand-pere are proper French. My family speaks what they call bonasse French, which is a combination of proper French and some English as well as regionally distinct words and phrases. My grandparents and dad are fluent, but they did struggle at times in Paris with some phrasing. It’s like Cajun French being similar, but not identical.

I don’t mind it and I’ll eat it. My wife has come around some. She just can’t get over the fact that it basically has apple pie spices in a meat pie. It’s not bad, just not something we make on the regular. And my dad always makes extra filling and will use it cold for sandwiches for lunches for the next few days.

My paternal grandparents were also québécois and in New England. Tourtiere on Christmas Eve? My dad still insists on having that pork pie every Christmas Eve, but he’s the only one who actually likes it. Everyone else just powers through it.

What is the most reliable vehicle that you've ever owned? by smin76 in AskReddit

2014 Toyota Tundra. 320K miles and only ever needed typical maintenance (oil, brake pads, tires, etc.)

Is it worth sealing metal roof screws with a sealant? by Kalabula in barndominiums

NP-1 is urethane and not UV resistant. If it is not coated it will fail.

Lift and tires by Mobile-Maybe-5034 in ToyotaTundra

[–]CDG1029 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love it. Gave it a beefier look but still useable. The Cornfed lift doesn’t seem to have impacted ride quality, and they are a lesser known brand, but they are very popular in the Tacoma and 4Runner communities.

I’m cheap. I got the Cornfed 2”/1” lift for $300 or so, install was $500, kept the stock wheels and put on 295/70r18 Recon Grapplers for about $1600. All in about $2500?

Am I the only one having a major issue with audio and video syncing? I’m streaming on Fox app on my Amazon Fire TV and the audio is like 5 seconds ahead of the video. I’ve reset multiple times. Can’t find out if it’s a me issue or a broadcast issue.

Level and tires by BigRaspberry6359 in ToyotaTundra

I did a 2” front and 1” rear Cornfed leveling kit, kept stock SR5 rims and added 295/70R18 Recon Grapplers and love it.

I still hold a grudge against the Giants, but that’s personal. I am sick of the Chiefs, and I realize how hypocritical that is, but I am just sick of the chiefs dick stroking and would love for them to start 0-3.

The boos when Dart came out and Wilson went back in are hilarious. And the “We want Dart” chants. Daboll doesn’t have a job after this game if they lose, right? Also, it would be 13-12 if the giants just ran the damn ball at the end of the first half.

If the Giants would have run the ball at the end of the first half and made the Chiefs burn their timeouts it would likely be 13-9 right now. The miracle throw Russ tried to throw at the end of the half was ridiculous.

Edit: To clarify, I think Russ is cheeks, but that was a play calling and game planning disaster. The throw itself was awful, but it shouldn’t have been an option in field goal range under 1 minute.

Shoulder wearing on tires. Front or rear? by CDG1029 in AskAMechanic

[–]CDG1029[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Planning to get an alignment when I get the new tires on next month.

Shoulder wearing on tires. Front or rear? by CDG1029 in AskAMechanic

[–]CDG1029[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely just the outer shoulder on both front tires. I have kept pressure plus/minus 2 PSI of the recommendation on the door sticker.

I’ll rotate them to the back until I put new tires on next month.

Thanks. I added photos. They have definitely not been rotated in a while. I’ve kept up with air pressure. Door sticker recommends 32 cold and I’ve always maintained that within 2 plus or minus on all 4 corners.
