once or two rounds with regular tp for triage, then a wet wipe for the more delicate operation

Wet wipes are terrible for municipal sewage systems though, do not flush. Even the ones that say “flushable!”, it’s all lies!

Americans have this weird aversion to wiping with anything and not throwing it into the toilet. I said use paper towels if you use 1/2 a roll per bathroom trip only because anyone suffering from moderate IBS regular toilet paper is not going to cut it; the most likely outcome is needing to both aggressively wipe and then take a shower afterwards to fully clean off.

Or, you know, just get a bidet.

If anyone has issues with their butthole, holy poo poo you needed a bidet yesterday. It's life-changing, don't wait.

You don't have to get a $200 bidet either . There are like $30 or $50 ones on Amazon that just connect to your toilets water supply. No power needed.

I have an issue with hemorrhoids and since getting my bidet about a year and a half ago I've not had any problems whatsoever. It has been quite literally life-changing.

Without a powered bidet that can dry your butt you may need like a square of toilet paper to dry yourself off, but you'll cut your toilet paper uses down by like 95%.

Aren't landlords required to give notice before entry? Just unscrew it and put it on top of the toilet before they come in if you are that worried. If they ask tell em its a bong and ask if they want a fat rip

do it. they just sit on or replace your toilet seat. you aren't actually permanently modifying anything. they're easy to take on/off. plus you can take it with you when you move.

Picked up the $10 Costco jacket. Gonna be looking like a boss though in head to toe Costco.

I'm ashamed of it but it's exactly the kind of jacket I want. It might be my first Kirkland Signature outerwear.

And it's ten dollars Michael. A whole jacket for the cost of a banana.

After my whinging about costco being too busy I drove past after work and there were lots of places in the parking lot, and no line up so I went and it was great!

BasicLich posted:

Most of them go under your toilet seats. You poop, it sprays your butt, there’s no more poop on your butt. You can sit there like a zen monk/psychopath to air dry for 30 minutes, or if it’s powered it can blow air on your butt to dry, or you use 1-2 squares to pat dry if it’s unpowered. If there’s any poop at all on the TP you didn’t bidet enough/properly.

For a treat, if your skills are powerful, you can get the bidet to spray up your butt and give yourself a light enema which is fantasstic.

Bidets are truly the simplest thing, and using TP alone is barbaric.

This is exactly what I did. No panic buying for me. Any idiot could see what was going to happen if they just paid attention to the numbers for the past few months. I went last week because it was my regular time to restock paper products after 8 months or so. I hadn't been to Costco in maybe 2 months before then. My cupboards are completely full with pasta, rice, beans, soup, canned vegetables, fruit, ramen, etc etc etc.
Same. Only got caught on napkins, but that just meant getting slightly more expensive ones. But we're set for everything else.

Woodland Hills, CA's church is already out of the usual suspects, and as I shopped there myself for milk and eggs, I could hear people panicking as they spoke to each other or on their phones. And stop going in groups to the store, idiots! At least they all had masks on.

I decided to give it a shot and arrived a few minutes before opening this morning to find people already leaving with toilet paper. Got in line, grabbed a cart, and found the back wall floor-to-ceiling with toilet paper and paper towels. It was a good trip.

I was really impressed with the Dyson stick vacuum my buddy had and my wife was looking to replace our extremely tired Shark upright, so we went a-shoppin' last weekend. Turns out, the LG CordZero stick vacuum was on sale for $130 off, and its performance compares favorably with the Dyson so we went with that one.

Man, this thing fucks. Two batteries, one can remain in the charger on standby, it's light, powerful, attachments are a breeze to connect and disconnect...I can't believe I've been lugging around a heavy, corded vacuum like a caveman my entire life. Highly recommended.

I don't know if those are more similar to the ones sold at aldi or trader joes. The aldi ones suck, the TJ's ones are good. The white chocolate ones don't look good, but the rest look good.

We too got the LG one with two batteries. The first time we used it, we were emptying the bin every few minutes as it dredged up stuff our previous vacuum ignored. And the two batteries when running in normal mode can vacuum the whole place without a problem once we got over the first few days of dust/fur deep in carpets. I'd highly recommend it to anyone using a vacuum more than 10 years old.

Bonus: It is light enough (and the stick attachment adjustable enough) that our young kids can use it, and are excited about being allowed to use it.

I want a vacuum that has a roller brush that won’t get clogged with pet hair, does such a thing exist? I have an older dyson stick vacuum and I do a once over to try to get the fur first with just the nozzle but then the brush head still finds more fur and gets jammed up.

We have 2 dogs and a cat. It’s what has kept me from getting a robo vac because the fur will kill one of those in 5 minutes I bet.

Also I want those coated cookies so bad.

If you are serious about vacuuming, just spend a ton of money on a Miele canister bagged vac. It's seriously one of the best products I own. The powerbrush models are a lot more expensive but other vacuums just feel like lovely dustbusters to me now, the difference in suction and pickup is crazy.

Also, I finally witnessed the jamon yesterday. I thought my store didn't have any and then I turned around and saw a massive stack of them on a pallet. All I could think about was pulling off the world's greatest Jamon Jeist.

Thanks for mentioning this, I might get this for my mom. She still had an old canister vac, and I want to get her something thats weighs a lot less since there 2 stories and stairs in the house. No pets, so it doesn't need to be the most powerful vac really.
