That's understandable but for 20 minutes (each way?) out of way driving that still doesn't make any sense to me

Agreed. I'll use Costco's pumps if I happen to be at one when I notice my tires are low because they're even easier to use than my own compressor, but that's about it. At the very least driving 20 minutes out of the way means you're airing up hot every time so you need to add at least a couple PSI.

The pumps you find at most gas stations are indeed absolute trash. Most of the ones I've seen don't even have a gauge, not even the lovely dipstick one that probably isn't accurate after being handled by every loving dipshit in a thirty mile radius.

Get a compressor at Costco.

I feel like a decent portable air compressor at home is a worthwhile investment for a hundred something dollars, can power tools and a blowgun attachment is useful for cleaning computers and stuff, better to check and air your tires while they're cold from home anyways.

When you said blowgun I thought you meant the kind you shoot stuff with. That'd be cool with an air compressor.

One time I only needed like 5lbs in a single tire so I tried to use a bicycle pump. That was a loving mistake I tell you what

Second bonus is that I don't have to go out with my wife's car when she needs air. She's car dumb and I don't think I can handle teaching her how to do it herself. One day she calls me from her drive home and says, hey I have a light on my dash that looks like a butt do I need to worry??? I was able to just take care of it when she got home.

"There's a blue sailboat warning on my dash, what do I do."

Edit: we used to have to grab a cart crew person to help fill tires during the cold dips, we would have a constant stream of cars wrapped around the back of the building to get filled on the first day it dropped under 40.

I know you're lying because paper goods is a barren wasteland where the lonely spirits of TP past roam among the empty pallets.

The real fort making opportunities are with the million bags of fertilizer stacked in the center of the store.

I bought the Skullcandy Grind Fuel (:barf:) earbuds and.... one of them doesn't work. Not gonna get back to Costco until next Tuesday unfortunately. The one that does work is pretty nice, the case charges on USB-C and it has tap AND voice controls for music which will be pretty dope. But we're already off to a bad start here, Skullcandy.

For the record, the barf is for the name. It's so fuckin' awful.

Honestly a set of Samsung earbuds are pretty decent. I have a set of the actives and they work great and are perfect for running. And sound better then the Skullcandy

I'm getting to the point where I might just do that. I've been debating just going to the $100sh price point because it seems where quality and price happily meet

If you wait for a sale you can snag the apple earbuds for a hundred bucks, or the newer model for $150, and they're the gold standard

Mine also did that right out of the box. I just re-paired them and everything was fine.

Something to try if you haven't done so already. I think it's even on their quick-start.

Yeah, since I'm stuck with them for a bit I'm gonna gently caress around with them tonight. They seem pretty good and I really like the Tile tracking part because I'm a terrible klutz. I'll eventually get some nice ones but I'd love some $50 ones for when I get drunk while camping and wanna jam out to My Morning Jacket while staring at a fire

You're probably not eating enough fiber. Eat more fiber regularly and it might go away. Costco sells GasX if you need it.

Yes. This has been easily one of my best Costco purchases. It's been very helpful for charging devices when the power goes out too. I've gotten way more value out of it than the $100 they sell it for.

I finally remembered to crack open my 505 for the first time. I made an egg bake yesterday and am having it right now and doused it with the green chilis. They're pretty drat good. I will never go through this bottle before it goes bad.

Much dried fruit is sulfured as a preservative. That combined with the fiber should Super Colon Blow ya pretty well

Other than the one earbud not working, I'm pretty sure these are gonna be my knock-around pair of earbuds for the future. They will be perfect for camping, travelling, taking them places I might lose them. I'll probably splurge for a nicer pair for around the house stuff in the near future too.

I’ve been eating a lot more fresh fruit daily thanks to Costco, makes me a bit gassy probably due to the fiber since it’s indehestible, but thats other people’s problem.
