Costco would be a hostel. Entire rooms 10% more expensive than the nearest hotel, but have six beds in each instead of one.

I didn't realize the pizza was cooked on the same machine that the dough is flattened on.

ok I finally just watched them make a pizza Monday night and I have no idea why I thought it was cooked on the dough presser. maybe cause I'm an idiot but more likely Wal-mart chemtrails sent by the devil Walton family trying to get me to stray from the Church

Someone give me some hot tips on what to get for chilled/prepared food. The stuffed peppers have been my favorite so far, but the bulgogi and chicken salad are in a close second and third. Couldn't really get into the ravioli lasagna. The rotisserie chicken was pretty good but I admittedly just pulled it all and made chicken noodle soup so I don't know how it stands on its own. Prob gonna hit up that salad from Greece next time we're there.

I wish my apartment had a bigger freezer so I can fit more costco products in there.

I bought a box of that mochi ice cream and I mostly ate it just because it was always in the way (it's real loving good though)

My Citi Visa rewards cert came and I'm looking to blow it on a TV. Was going to use it toward a fancy Samsung but the $339 TCL 55inch 4K has me questioning if it's worth paying more. I figure with a 7-year warranty (Costco+Citi+SquareTrade) there's minimal risk involved.

Anybody have one?

It's a great TV for what it is, you won't be disappointed.

The only thing that may upset you later on is that major enhancements seem to be filtering down to the budget TV lines starting in 2018, so in as little as 3 months or so you would be able to get a better set with more features for a pretty similar price.

As long as that doesn't bother you, you're good to go!

kinda hard when everything is a smart tv

you don't have to connect it to wifi if you don't though (the roku on the TCL is probably one of the least offensives and provides an opt-out for display tracking.)

If Costco still has the C803 for $430 I would say to get that because the backlight is brighter and it can do Dolby Cinema in addition to HD10

If not, the TCL S series is the best budget TV on the market today.

Roku/TCL are actually one of the worst offenders. Not only for the spying/selling of your viewing data by default, but also because "Roku devices have a totally unsecured remote control API enabled by default,” says Eason Goodale, Disconnect’s lead engineer. “This means that even extremely unsophisticated hackers can take control of Rokus. It’s less of a locked door and more of a see-through curtain next to a neon ‘We’re open!’ sign." The other brands generally make you accept a ToS page before you can use the TV. Here's another link on how to disable this sort of tracking.

If you're on the same WiFi network. So you need to either break into the victim's network or have them download malware to do limited functions with the remote.

Also you can completely opt-out of ACR on Roku. It's not even enabled by default, it's an option to select during setup. I know because I set up one of these TVs a few months ago.

Consumer Reports is getting real bad with their sensational crap lately.

Just the mint one does. You can get an unsented version (maybe not at Costco) and use it as-is or drop in your own essential oils for whatever scents you want. We get Castile soap and I like to mix it with a pine oil so I can smell like real man/pine forrest


Edit
Also yeah don't use it straight. I go 50/50 with water but we have a water softener so if you don't you might need more soap.

I bought one for a little over $400 at church several months back and I've been so pleased with it that I recently purchased a second one (49 inch) for my spare bedroom. 4K is awesome and after gaming on it, I can't go back to 1080p.

everytime someone says a seasonal anime is GOAT

Just watch the best anime ever
Yea I got the 55 inch TCL S series TV, paid $350 before taxes in December for it. $330 is awesome.

The only complaint I have with it is that the TV speakers seem extra lovely. I was ok with the TV speakers on the 55" Toshiba that the TCL replaced, but I had to pick up a sound bar for this TV.

The built in Roku is snappy and fast though. I resisted getting a Smart TV in 2013 when I bought my Toshiba because all Smart TV UI looked like pulling teeth, but I'm glad to see they're in a good state now.
