Are you implying there are actually people who take advice given here?

Best: What do you want me to do, ban them all?
Worst: Let Moose back in!

Best = Exchanging an X1900-XTX for an original EVGA 8800 GTX on consensus advice of the video forum.

Can't think of a "worst" at the moment will edit later.

I discovered the band "Metric" from someone posting them in the "what are you listening to" thread. Found I quite like them.

Not ATOT, but been alerted to plenty of free game offers in the gaming forum (of course, if I ever want to actually install the vast number of freebies Epic and Origin and others have given me, I'd need to buy yet another hard-drive, plus also get back into the long-abandoned habit of actually playing games rather than just accumulating them).

I don't have a worst advice experience but I do have a best experience to share.

Back in late 2018 my wife and I bought a home. It was a smokers house for over a decade and the smell was pretty bad. Anyway, I asked for advice on how to remediate the nicotine smell and AT came through.
Here's the thread I posted and @hardhat came through with some great advice. Other members did to but the TSP that was recommended worked like magic.

The difference of before and after was and still is amazing and I'm forever grateful for the advice I was given.

Metric rules. I regret missing one of their shows in Boston a few years back for their 2018 album due to a snowstorm, should have made the trek. You might like the Naked and Famous as well out of New Zealand.

There used to be all kinds of good advice back in the day in health and fitness from that dude @Koing and @SociallyChallenged (?). Taught me how to stay in shape, rehab injuries, have proper lifting form etc. without having to sign up for any dudebro forums. I would classify all of that as pretty life-changing advice. Seems pretty useless and dead now though.

Worst "advice" was being given the impression that beef needed to be at least as big as an alternator to be considered 'bulk.'

Best advice was combining Pepsi and milk.

Worst advice:
i can feel my bones getting stronger just reading that
That feeling is your stomach turning.

My advice is based on the evidence and pragmatism.

The onions was actually not through my own searches but rather igor kavinski's posts.

I don't care how "healthy" that concoction would be sorry. ;)

Individually however I'm fine with everything listed except the butter.
