The China food court menu looks decent, although I'm not sure how good the clam chowder would actually be.





(not my picture, because no loving way am I going to Shanghai in the summer)

I'm envious of the fact they get access to both chicken and bulgolgi bakes.

If you don't hsve a bidet just use a bottle of water snd your hand

No need to wash your hands afterwards or anything either. It's water so it's clean

You should go hit Bob's Quality Meats or one of the other quality butcher shops.

Plenty of diapers at mine but still no baby wipes. I think a bunch of dumb people think that they're disinfecting or sanitary.

Worse, they’re using them in place of toilet paper and flushing them.

Holy poo poo if you have that you're set, wear it everywhere, wear a rag over the exhale valve, it'll last months in clean air

What's the reason for covering the exhale valve? It seems like overkill.

Food saver acquired and my Anova Nano Sous Vide arrived today. Gonna get my rear end to church tomorrow and load up on some meat, praying to god they have some rib-eyes in stock. What else should I go for, the giant rear end pork chops?

Sous Vide Glazed Carrots are great: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/06/sous-vide-glazed-carrots-recipe.html
As is asparagus: https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/the-ultimate-asparagus

Once you get those and the other "quick" recipes out of the way, short ribs are the next thing to try.

So you're saying what I'm saying, that they changed the internals to save money since you or I have purchased one of their mixers. My friend does not have to save face, especially since he was using a mixer for mixer things. I don't know why it's so hard for you to imagine that a capitalistic company would cut corners to increase profits. Maybe you have stocks in KitchenAid.

Your friend might be mixing up their ‘Pro Line’ with the Professional or Pro 6 series, which are plastic gears.

The Pro Line is still advertised as having metal gears, you can see it in the specs section: https://www.kitchenaid.com/countert...state=pg:2/ct:r

wait ... costco does a burger ???

Did.

If you are really curious, it was using the frozen, pre-cooked angus beef patties they sell. Heat one up, throw it on a bun with cheese and thousand island dressing and you’ve more or less got it.

Last, I wish I got a picture, but there was a sign reading "CHURROS ARE COMING BACK, and they'll be IMPROVED AND BETTER THAN EVER".

Churros are back at the Seattle Costco. They are just the same as before, not "IMPROVED AND BETTER THAN EVER" unfortunatley.

Meanwhile I bought a SodaStream to make ultra carbonated water which I drink straight 90% of the time and occasionally use for fancy mixed drinks :mrgw:

FYI, you can buy adaptor hoses off Amazon that let you hook it up to a standard CO2 tank instead of having to constantly deal with the proprietary bottles.

Absolutely, hard to find a green tea that isn't oversweetened. I haven't seen these at my local Costco but I'll keep an eye out, buying them at Fred Meyer for two bucks a pop isn't very cost efficient.

If you wanted to save some space, you could always buy their powdered stuff and just make some when you want.
https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Green-Macha-blend-Japan/dp/B000KTB59Q

Alternatively, cold brew green tea(or whatever tea floats your boat) at home. It's 5-10 g of dried tea for every liter of water. Though with green tea I usually go 10g.

Good luck

Or you put it in the basement with no concept of what the moisture build up will end up doing to the home...

As someone who has a mixture of laminate flooring, carpet, and runner rugs, with various pet toys/etc laying around, are roombas viable at all? And I see a pretty huge range of them, are the ones Costco has any good?

Getting the floors at least casually clean automatically would be a great timesaver for me, just not sure how well it’d work and $400 is a lot to throw down on a question mark.

For mixed flooring like that, you might consider the Roborock S7. It's got a vibrating mop for scrubbing hard flooring that lifts up out of the way when transitioning to carpet. But it $650, so quite a bit more than $400, though sold on Amazon so easy enough to return. It's also got an optional auto-empty dock, but it's expensive and not worth it with a mopping feature. You are already going to have to remove the mopping pad after a cleaning session to prevent mold, you can remove the dust bin at the same time.

Well gently caress, my bidet changed my life and this post is really making me want to upgrade my home office chair now, thanks! :mad:

My Embody chair is a glorious thing. That said, you should try and find a retailer where you can try out the offerings from Steelcase and Herman Miller. Not everyone is a fan of the Embody.

Also we have a chair thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3383243

I’m extremely jealous of Costco with sushi, even if it’s bad. I’d change my handle to Sailor Mercury Poisoning

Costco Japan’s sushi was by far the worst grocery store sushi I’ve ever had. I would not have any hopes for whatever shows up in the US.
