smoobles posted:Costco has good stuff but as a 2-person household the only things we can get are toilet paper and frozen pizza, any meat or produce is like 10 pounds or more and would have to be frozen or we'd get sick of it. so freeze the meat? i've got a whole separate freezer for costco meat

Anton Chigurh posted:Seems like the much smarter (and less dangerous) thing to do would simply be to follow them out to their car, note the model of car and license plate, then call the cops. If the cops will give details on who the owner is, just revoke their membership. There may even be databases on the internet that let you look that stuff up. Problem solved. costco has no right to detain you or call the police if you walk out of their store, at best the can revoke your membership. if a retail employee puts their hands on you and physically attempts to stop you from leaving you have grounds to sue them for assault.

Anton Chigurh posted:Pretty sure they can call the police on you for whatever reason they want, but you may be right that they can't detain you. Does that include all shoplifting? I know most companies have polices about employees intervening in robbery attempts and such, some have even been fire after the fact for doing so, but seems like they would have some right about letting you just walk out with anything you choose. true they can call the cops for whatever reason, but that doesnt mean they will come or do anything about it. store employees can stop you if you are seen shoplifting, but they can't detain you for not complying with a receipt check. though this can get fun! if they attempt to detain you for shoplifting, and you have not in fact shoplifted anything than it is assault. this comes from the mouth of a law professor. he recommended not complying with security if you have not actually shoplifted anything and they attempt to stop you, because you will get a very nice monetary settlement out of anything they do to you.

Haverchuck posted:As you slice the fish for the final preparation, keep an eye out for parasites. Do this even if your fish has been frozen according to FDA guidelines—freezing kills parasites and prevents them from doing you harm, but it does not remove them—and even if you are using farmed fish. Anisakid larvae range in color from brown to white, are about a centimeter in length, and look very much like watch springs. Broad fish tapeworm larvae will be encased in a cyst, which looks like a diminutive grain of rice embedded in the flesh. Just use your fingers to remove them, or, if you're squirmy, fish tweezers. or just cook your food like a civilized person

Argyle posted:I wish my toaster oven could make toast. I have to manually flip the bread otherwise one side gets burnt while the other side is pale. you are buying the wrong kind of bread. instead of lovely wonder bread slices you should get some nice rolls or croissants or english muffins. things that only need to be toasted on one side! you have a superior toaster oven, you are one of the elite. do not be content with sliced bread for peasants

Protip: if you put the pizza in the microwave for 20second, then finish it off in the toaster oven you can have the same effect in 1/5th the time.

Good Dog posted:That thing is closer to a cot than a hammock. A hammock will flex and cradle your body and is supported by one anchor point on either side so it swings. This has [semi]-rigid supports on either end and you're not going to sink into it like a traditional string hammock. You might as well buy a lounge chair. all hammocks are portable if you are going somewhere with trees.
