I've posted in the previous threads about how I have a unique sort of way I deal with our Costco's tire center in that I deal in vehicles that weren't sold in the United States. This means Costco doesn't want to touch them as they aren't in their computer systems, are right hand drive, and just generally weird. The people working at the tire center understand perfectly, it's a bureaucracy thing. The loophole is you can bring them loose wheels, rather than an entire vehicle, and get tires installed without issue. I'm doing a bunch of work on these vehicles anyway so me bringing wheels that I have to install on the vehicle itself is of no issue with me. I've done this maybe 40 times in the last 4~ years and have a good rapport with the people there. This time we have a peculiar vehicle even for us regarding its tire requirements, a completely stock 1995 JZX90 Toyota Chaser Tourer V. It looks like a Camry to most United States eyes, but has a twin turbo straight six (1JZ-GTE) under the hood. This means, unlike normal-spec X90s, it has wider tires in the rear vs the fronts. Whoops on me, since I put in an online order for four tires of the same size since I looked at the fronts only and wasn't until I was washing the car I noticed the rears were different and found out about the staggering. Not a big deal, I go into the tire center to explain and order a correct set. The guy does whatever magic it is they do with getting tires as this is a 1995 with 16s, small for today, but they must be good tires as the power this car puts down demands it. He finds both a front and rear matching set with their correct sizes, should be in about a week. A week later get a call, the tires for the front arrived but the date code indicates they were manufactured in 2018, the boys at Costco went "lol no" and sent them back, and were calling me to tell me this, and it will be another week. This rules since I would have done the same thing, but they already knew and took it upon themselves to send those old-rear end tires back.  Pictured: A much better date code IN CLOSING, PBUC, our tire center truly rules. Your results may vary.

Bad Purchase posted:is costco a good place for appliances? the freezer half of my refrigerator stopped freezing this week. might try to get it repaired, but it's a 12 year old samsung so i assume this is about as long as it was designed to last before everything dies. replacing it might be the move. Your refrigerator only has one thing that cools, so if the fridge part still works but your freezer doesn't then it's going to be a door issue. As in, good chance it's an easy fix.

Super Waffle posted:The atisanal bread rolls are fantastic, btw. They're small, square, and like a half-ciabatta/half-sourdough taste. Amazing for sandwiches and paninnis. and the freeze very well even loosely in a ziploc bag. A stable in our house.

It was fun to build things with food (even though the building instructions are very not like lego at all) but even my teenage sisters-in-law did not like them at all and they love this sort of garbage on account of being teens.

Plant-based milk rules, we prefer either soy or oak strictly on it being available as: "soy/oak, water". No gums, no sweetner, nothing else. Not sure almond can carry a plant-based beverage on its own without a bit more stuff, plus almonds and water and all that. Cow's milk is still king for cheese though, which is The Best Milk™

Yeah like California doesn't have the water they use is the thing. They should get some nuclear powered desalination plants, then we could all drink as much almond as we could handle.

As it was said, each one of us lowly scrubs can't ever hope to do the damage that a single billionaire can do no matter how many lifetimes we'd exist. Enjoy your almond milk and eat the rich.

Dick Fontaine posted:Thanks! These are the frozen ones, not the dry ones, so I think the prep is a bit different. Good to know that they poach about like octopus though. That opens up a lot of possibilities. Your link says they are at least partially dehydrated, then frozen. Don't know how that changes things, maybe they do that just to shrink them down?

infraboy posted:I wish the old folks in Costco had some situational awareness and realize it's idiotic to just stop in the middle of the busiest sections to chitchat with each other. Did you not go "Excuse me" 'cause in every situation where someone just sits in the aisle like that either go "Oh sorry" and move or they get all mad, move, but act like it's you're fault. They move though.

acidx posted:The last two boxes of chips I've bought at Costco have been bullshit. The bags were really empty and all the cheddar and sour cream baked chips weren't crunchy. They were kind of molded together into a super chip and had almost a gummy texture. Couldn't even eat them. This package sold by weight, not by volume. Some contents may have settled during shipment.

I've had an appliance delivery dude go off on my neighbor and threaten him with a wrench before. I have no idea how it started but I walked out to commotion, the delivery truck in front of our house, and one guy in the truck, the other outside of it with the wrench above his head facing my neighbor. My neighbor was not armed. I yelled at the delivery guy to leave immediately or I was calling the police, all while he was swearing at my neighbor, me and my wife. They left quickly after that, we called Sears (remember them lmao) and told them what happened. The next day a different set of guys came out and apologized profusely for the guy before, they knew him I guess and delivered the fridge we should have gotten the day before. They seemed just as confused as I was. Point being yes absolutely I believe that dude said that exact thing to the woman since I have seen it in the flesh myself.

We switched to loose powder for our dishwasher and have not had an issue with dishes being clean since. Cheaper, not paying for water, and as mentioned powder allows prewash which helps a ton. Pods are convenient I guess but genuinely worse at the entire point of dishwashing.

Involuntary Sparkle posted:We bought one back in ... 2009? It was a pillow top inner spring from one of the major mattress companies and it was so bad. It sunk in within two years and we asked to return it but they said we couldn't. It turned us off pillow top and inner spring mattresses after that. We bought a latex mattress a couple years after that from Sleep EZ and it's night and day. A big slab of latex is truly the best mattress there is.

sexy tiger boobs posted:Latex was too hot for me also. I'd advise caution if you're a hot sleeper. Strange, our latex mattress is by far the coolest one we've ever had. Memory foam was way too warm, a typical spring mattress was OK but they just generally suck. Anecdotes!

Coredump posted:Whatever happened to the better version of pizza rolls the 'Co used to have? Been gone for a long while, replaced them with Totinos for a hot minute, then some weird pepperoni pocket things that were larger than the rolls but smaller than hot pockets and now, mine doesn't have anything close besides bagel bites. poo poo sucks out there but I probably shouldn't have been eating so many of them anyway. Home Depot are huge chuds too if that means anything.

Barry posted:One of the first things I do when I get home is put all the bagels in individual zip locks and freeze them. Takes like 30 minutes or so to thaw on the countertop. We just freeze them immediately in their bags for a couple hours, then vacuum seal em' after that. They do get crushed a bit, but they always defrost perfectly. A bit ago we were chatting about this exact thing in this thread and someone mentioned doing this was wasting plastic and instead they just let them go bad and buy more. The bagels come in plastic!
