Costco Dad blocked the entire frozen aisle today stopping to excitedly describe the fish shaped fish cakes to his bulk order of children in detail with his cart parked perfectly been the endcap display, employee and his stocking cart, and the sample less sample person to stop all traffic. He did not get the fish cakes.

I've never had to say "Oops, pardon me, you're in the way!" more than once? You should announce what they're doing wrong in a sing-song kindergarten teacher voice. Works like a charm. I look like kindergarten teacher, but I think shock value would work even more to other people's advantage here.

The meat guys found me the last prime tenderloin. Going to be some fat steaks for the next couple of days. Also got this summer wine sampler pack. It’s 12 half sized bottles for $50.

OTOH, I tried one of the steaks I cut from the tenderloin. It was juicy and delicious.

You still can/should drift the Costco cart, you just need to get some speed up and lift the handle a bit to start the drift. It just fucks up their waxing on of the floors but works like a charm.

PBUC It’s not weird in the slightest. I’ve done it multiple times when I’m in the area and just want a dog and a slice. Sometimes I wonder if trying to find parking is worth it but then I have the dog and a slice and yes it’s worth it.

poisonpill posted:Any recommendations on a portable A/C for a garage gym? If you can find a window unit and fit that in, it'll be better than any portable unit you get. If you must have a portable (I have 2, one of which is 12k BTU and dual-pipe, one is 8k btu and single pipe) make sure you get a dual pipe. I got a window unit which is 8k BTU and it absolutely blows my 12k BTU portable unit away. Way better. edit: the reason I say dual-pipe is better is, a single pipe will blow hot air out and that will create negative pressure in the room, so the entire room will get hot air from other rooms/outside coming in. A dual-pipe will suck in air and blow out hot air and that will result in pressure being maintained in the room. It's worth covering the hot air pipe with silver heat insulation wrap, and it's also worth putting your AC as close to the window as possible. The longer the pipe, the more the pipe will radiate heat. redreader fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Jun 7, 2021 |

Yeah the reason you want a window unit is because the heat stays outside rather than being generated inside, then piped outside. A portable unit will never be able to compete on effectiveness with a window unit, but sometimes you need the convenience of the portable.

Good info, thank you. I don't want a window unit because it won't fit these weird garage windows, but I will get a dual pipe one. Thanks. Any brands to avoid? Just get the one from Costco?
