Game Over
Return of Mido

Thanks for the bike posts. Roommate's also a goon so I'll send the e-bike thread to him and hopefully he'll be able to look into it more as well. I will say though, the foldable aspect would be very handy just for easier storage in our apartment and at his work so hopefully we can find some balance of price and quality without breaking the bank. That Priority Current is expensive enough that I think he'd consider a car down payment at that price.

Yeah my Jetson pro I got from Costco basically only lasted a season before completely crapping out. I don't trust that company.

My roommate is considering an electric bike as a way to get to work and lighten some load on our house's car situation. We live in a large US city with plenty of car traffic, but also a good amount of bike lanes. Does anyone have experience with this bike or ones like it? The price looked affordable but we want to make sure it's reliable for daily use.

I've built quite a few e-bikes from scratch. That Jetson thing is going to have some very sus components, and 48 pounds for that is going to herniate you when slinging it around. The hub motor only offers Pedal Assist mode because that's all the motor and battery are strong enough for. No telling if some rain is going to short it out once the warranty is up.

I'd recommend your roommate harden up and just get a normal folding bike like a used Dahon Mariner which is gonna weigh half that and have quality parts for a similar price.

Anyone ever transfer a prescription from one costco to another? I don’t think my refill is going to be ready before I go on a business trip and im wondering if I can just pop into a costco elsewhere and have it filled easily.

Yes, once, I also wanted to do a one-time transfer to a different location but it sounded like it’s permanent. If you want future refills at your normal location you would have to call them again to move it back.

America's other favorite pastime (besides Costco) also is missing its onion crank

The little plastic ramekins of onions they offer now are a poor substitute for the onion crank. They're practically transparent from sitting in the cooler for days, and have lost almost all of their pungency and bite.

At the same time, any onions on a Costco dog are still better than no onions, so.

It's also because they're not necessarily onions! Just chopped up blanched vegetables, like celery and cabbage, chemically crisped and flavored with sulfur compounds to taste oniony

Apparently Costco sells 3 different types of burnt ends, and the two with the bbq sauce aren’t as good because you’re paying way too much for a bunch of sauce you barely use instead of actual meat.

Costco onions are gelatinized cat urine chunks treated with sulphuric acid and foot fungus to taste oniony.
