monster on a stick posted:If you are really really lazy on wanting to make pulled pork, Costco has "smoked pulled pork" that's actually pretty good. It's completely unsauced which means you can be a heathen and add glorified ketchup to it, or use a vinegar-based sauce. It has a nice smokey flavor too, which is hard to do if you are using a crockpot or something. True about the pork but its mega mega salty

Outlet Malls..they used to be a place where you can get deals on outdated or unsold merch. Genuinely overstock outlet goods. Now they companies are wise to this. Most of the stuff you get at those outlet places are made specifically for outlet locations. So youre just getting the same thing as you would anyways, just slightly cheaper made and priced for the location. Not a bad thing, mind you, but they arent "deals", just a different sub brand. Also for tea, go to gong fu tea in the east village.

Krispy Kareem posted:The current dumbass at Sears saved Sears. It would have already died multiple times over had he not kept it on life support because of its real estate. Well wasn't Sears poised to be the Amazon of the 90's but balked at insurance and internet services, thus losing out on that explosive growth in the 2000s?

Lop i remember that Radio shack thing. It was so..meta? Is that the word? Watching this ad, which i think was pretty funny, but knowing it wasn't going to get a single person to go to Radio shack. Just...why would you buy the most expensive ad time ever if you're going down like that.

JnnyThndrs posted:Nah. Once an establishment is known for catering to lowbrow meatheads, the elite(or wannabe elite) would never in a zillion years eat there no matter how much the food improved. That's why McDonalds continues to fumble and bumble its way along, trying to go upscale and endlessly failing. Its not so much attracting "elite" customers, its more about making it palatable at all. Right now if I want to take my family out I can spend about as much money at Red Robbin and get a decent burger with bottomless fries. Or I can even go to a local join that has nice tacos or whatever. Applebees just isn't unique or special or delicious enough to justify going there. But if it was a niche place where I knew I was getting something specific for that price instead of Generic_Chicken_Dish_01, I'd maybe consider going there since its relatively cheap and would have decent food at that point. They need to find a niche or die.

get that OUT of my face posted:They didn't have anywhere close to the effect that DNC partisans want you to think. It's a convenient scapegoat to cover their asses. I dont thinj you should under estimate the power of bots, shills, and astroturf on soft headed uneducated white people. Of all the things that sway people to vote Republican, its like 30% actual thought out conservatism and 70% propaganda and social reinforcement

We have a few Funko pops. They are cheap fun ways to show fandom and fill in little niche spaces on the entertainment center. I can't see collecting them SERIOUSLY but they serve a fun little purpose. Plus my kids love them. Getting my 4 year old a Moana one for CHristmas was a Good Buy.

Having worked at Best Buy and being tasked with comparing prices and stuff, it's right up there with the other guys. It is actually part of why you're seeing the transformation of that section in their stores. The products are profitable, have service attachments, and they are really competitive price and service wise with places like Sears. I'm kind of a Best Buy fan boy from working there so long ago, but I'd still rather buy an appliance from not-going-bankrupt-not-depressing-to-go-to Best Buy than Sears.

rndmnmbr posted:You should learn the meaning of the word "hyperbole". Grandpa didnt leave us much. He had a few grand on credit card debt, owed a bit on a few trucks and cars, and didnt have any life insurance. But he did leave us this 35 year old washing machine he got back in 2017. Truly a legacy we can be proud of, and shall remain in our family and on our family crest.
