Woah, good call. I’ve been watching for a sale on those toilets and I bought two, figuring Kohler would be good since they’re a brand name and all, but the reviews on Amazon are terrible, all of them say it doesn’t flush well. They’re unopened so I guess they’re going back.

I guess I’ll get an American Standard then.

I've gotta say, installing an American Standard toilet feels a little disrespectful. Shouldn't it be named the Confederate Memorial or something brand?

I wish I had my offices bathroom at home.

- perfectly clean every day
- nice cold ac in the summer
- super jet flush action will flush anything with ease
- motion activated sink + towels

No bidet though so it’s a net negative.

Before they merged, American was from Detroit and Standard was from KY, so you’re making GBS threads for the Union on one of those.

The one important thing to keep in mind about the vormax line is that for whatever reason, they only sell one design at Lowe’s and a different single design at Home Depot, so if you don’t like the design at blue/orange hardware store, check the orange/blue hardware store

Thanks for the input guys, gonna pass on those Kohlers. I have a nine year old that routinely shits out pop can sizes and need something that can hang.

Just want to let you know you're not alone. I don't know how he does it, but my 9 year old son clogs our terrible builders grade toilet every single time he takes a poo poo. Replacing the toilets in our house would be a big quality of life improvement.

You’ve always been allowed.

When I was looking to buy a house years ago someone had installed it in the bathroom off the back yard.

They had lots of parties.

Costco bathrooms have the correct type of urinals. The ones that go all the way to the ground. Always a nice piss when I'm there.

Chopsticks you just toss em after use so I think that is preferable :haw:

If that vortex toilet can rend one of these monster turds asunder it is some kind of magic!

As far as purely poo-related clogs, we have not had any not be rendered asunder.

Overuse of paper products is still a weak point in all non-flushometer powered toilets.

Made a "90 day anniversary at the new job so time to spend some money" run to the 'Co yesterday. 99.99% customer mask usage (one dicknose). Two members of staff without masks: a cashier and a lady whose entire presence said "I'm on break."

Got some new headlamps for camping, an inflatable SUP for the kid, and the wifi-enabled air purifier that this thread assures me can detect farts. Oh, and Aiden's Organic Root Beer Float ice cream bars. They're incredibly soft/aerated; like licking a root beer flavored cloud. Wonderful.

Deli is under construction, so no communion.

zombietools.net makes a quality poop knife. Extra long handle to keep your hand out of the poop water. Slight back curve on the blade to get down into the drain.

Speaking of, I'm goin to a friend's house next weekend for a small get together. Any particulary good dessert/snack/die early Costco food items I should be on the look out for that I can bring? Gluten free would be nice, but not mandatory.

I've given this a lot of thought recently: the church rotisserie chicken is, and I don't say this lightly, the best price/value/taste combination in the world and I will fight anyone who disagrees.

You can get nicer food and you can get cheaper food and you can get MORE food but never, ever all 3 of those in the same fantastic ratio of price/value/taste.

I'll take that fight.

The smart and final version is as good and easier to get since you don't have to go to Costco to get it lol

I'll get one a week and its just as good IMO.

Is it as big and is it 5bux?

edit: And I didn't know Smart & Finals had hot food. My certainly doesn't. They are mostly depressing sub-Costcos.

Ah well I have to admit that we don't have one of those less than an hour away. It's the same price? If so, I might have to check this place out.

Our Costco is rarely crowded and parking is good, and fast with self checkout, but I have to be honest that the way they force you to interact with a person in the self checkout is wack and takes a point off the convenience factor for sure vs. a more traditional supermarket with a self checkout.

e: I did some sleuthing and it is apparently $7, I dunno that's a significant premium

https://www.smartandfinal.com/shop/product/first-street-oven-roasted-jumbo-chicken/604570

though it is the same stated pounds of the Costco chicken (3lbs)

Self checkout for buying 1 or 2 things at a time at Costco is the way to go. For years I'd just grab a case of beer and be in and out in 3 minutes.

Afaik its the same size and its 6.99 so roughly the same price.

FWIW not all Smart and Finals are nice they have newer ones that are like regular stores but also have bulk items.

none of the Costco I went to in SFV had self checkout but they did have the employees come through with scan guns to get everything while you were in line so they just instantly rung you up at the checkout
