Well, they don't taste any different but they are less messy to deal with without having boiling liquid left in many of the shells to drip on you when eating them.
This why you put the whole shell in your mouth, crack it with your teeth and suck out the juice before you eat the nuts and spit out the empty shell halves.

ETA: another post made me remember, one of the beast buffets as a kid that I feel like was very cheap was the Pizza Hut buffet. Few things better to start the weekend as a kid than the Pizza Hut buffet on friday night.
The Shoney's in my hometown had a late night breakfast buffet on Friday nights. It was money after a night of drinking.

Now a good breakfast buffet is $25 and a dinner buffet is $50+.
The one I mentioned is $48, but it includes champagne. They also have a seafood buffet on Friday nights for $55.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. Been doing the same for years.

I have some All-Clad non-stick pans I got at Costco. They do pretty well, especially if you use a lot of butter.
re: Need a good set of kitchen knives

I've been happy with the same set of Wusthof-Trident knives for the last 28 years and they're still going strong. I have the Grand Prix set. Prefer it over the others because the contoured handles are comfortable. They won't break the bank either.

I've been real happy with the walnut board from Sonder I bought off Amazon. Not cheap but they look great on the counter. Boos is another good brand you could look at.

The only one I know of around here (Sushi Kingdom) will charge you extra for food you order but don't eat.

Isn’t that a pretty big obstacle for any business attempting to become the Amazon of gun shopping?
No. People who buy guns through the mail are used to going to a FFL already. It's not really any different than having to drive to a brick-and-mortar store to buy them (other than the typically lower price).

Go to any hardware store generally and have them fill. Cheaper and filled to the top each time has been my experience.
Not at my local ACE. They charged me for a whole tank when they only actually topped off a half-empty tank. It would have been nice if they'd told me about that stupid policy ahead of time. I fill mine at U Haul now that my local Costco removed their tanks, which sucks because Costco was dirt cheap.
re: What's your take on Aldi?
Posted by AUHighPlainsDrifter on 7/15/25 at 10:06 pm to Athis
Aldi winners for me are:
Cheese
(some) Chips
Chocolate
Breads
Dairy products
Some produce
Sandwich meats
Condiments (try their ketchup and tell me if you can taste a difference between Heinz)
Every one of these things are less expensive than most American chain grocery stores. People make the mistake of thinking that it is due to lower quality when it is actually due to their much more efficient business model. Same goes for Lydl.

As a South Carolinian I have never had Canes, but in this poll, I'm going to side with Canes.

Bruh... Miller Lite isn't worth the money it costs, let alone cutting yourself to open the bottle
