If you live in your chair though and heh work from home heh, then spend the money on a real chair in the sense of a Steelcase or Herman Miller or the like. The benefits for your body and the longevity of the chair far outweigh the $$$ you'll spend on even a used one. Don't cheap out on tires, beds, shoes or office chairs.

Most of the time we don't either, but between my wife and I we'll eat enough to where it is still cheaper to buy the bag even we don't eat it all vs. getting it elsewhere. Especially because it's pre-washed. Granted we just had a Lucky's open up less than 5 minutes from us so I'll probably be getting brocs from there.

Last time I was in Costco they were selling some enormous TVs and showing one of the new Superman films on them, but they'd put some kind of interpolation on it so it looked like a really bad soap opera.

That's every new TV being sold everywhere though. Get used to it because TVs need something to set it apart from the one you already have and 3D didn't work so they are doing this. This is going to push all media in that direction :toot:

New TV? The dumb interpolation and hosed up colors pre-date even flat screen tvs. All that stuff is done because it makes the tv look good when it's crammed in a best buy next to 20 other tvs. If one refuses to do it then people shopping will go "oh that one looks dimmer than the others it must be bad"

You're supposed to turn all that poo poo off after you take it home, and at this point even grandpas have figured this out

TV -> color TV -> bigger TV -> flat panel TV -> HDTV -> 3D TV -> "120hz" TV/all that extra garbage poo poo

It's to have a reason to sell a TV to someone with a 55 inch flat panel that does 1080p already. If it works they don't need a new TV, they need something that does something theirs doesn't. They tried 3D and that bombed so now we're into interpolation and OLED and color saturation that makes your eyes bleed. The only thing that is supposed to be off when you get home is (like you said) the show floor brightness. All that other poo poo is meant to be on the TV so the person goes 'wow so smooth!'

Again, interpolation was around since they started sell flat panels.

Even my 80 year old grandma asked me to turn that stuff off when we got her a new tv. She says all her friends have it off too. Everybody thinks it looks lovely but it's there because it pops on the sales floor.

In a world where Instagram filters are a thing, where phone screens exaggerate the balls off color and blue LEDs infest all electronics I guess your grandma is a representation of the general public.

Interpolation affects motion not color

People have no taste and like garbage. Instagram filters look like garbage and motion interpolation (usually) also looks like garbage. See what I'm saying? I'm weirded out that this is seemingly difficult of a point to get across and I'm sure most people in this thread are going to be like 'woah I wish I could turn you idiots off!' and then we can start talking about dogs again.

Does Costco also handle ordering of contact lenses? I wear glasses at night and then daily disposable contacts. I need an eye exam and all that too.

Our Costco has a separate optometrist with an office in the store, you do not need a membership to visit them and they are not employed by Costco, she just runs her practice in there. Something about Costco and memberships and medical services, I assume it's like the pharmacy.
You get an exam, get a prescription and then walk out of the office to the Costco optical right outside and order your stuff out there be it glasses or contacts, or both!
I do the same thing you do, glasses at night and disposables during the day. I get it all at Costco.

As nice as Costco is, why wouldn't you use something like Zenni?

I'll get my eye exams there (independent contractor) and get contacts. No glasses though.

Zenni isn't that much cheaper, especially because you can try on the frames while at Costco. Costco frames are only a bit more than Zenni.

Wiping your rear end with dry toilet paper is loving gross. Why Americans insist on doing that is beyond me. At least get the fuckin' flushable wipes you neanderthals.

Note: I am american I just don't get our habits sometimes

e: do you wipe up a mess with a dry sponge? Clean a kitchen floor with a dry mop? We implicitly understand that these are the actions of an idiot, but we are unable to extend this line of thinking to our buttholes, which is weird becaus your butthole is presumably more important than your sponge, but if you told someone you always used a dry sponge they would look at you like a loving idiot.

Like yeah I agree but unless you have a bidet I just assume most civilized people start with dry, finish with a wet toilet paper and be done.

Any recommendations? I'm somewhat new to this.

I'd say don't cheap out on your tires. That being said, like anything just trudging through the internet to see what the vibe is for tires in your size.
You can order tires separately and bring them to a place and have them mount and balance them too, you don't have to buy your tires from the place that installs them.
If you need basic tire help like measurements and poo poo let us know, it's one of those things that seems complicated and specific outside looking in but is not difficult at all.

I don't have an OJ joke, however I do want to sing praises about the vacuum sealer that Costco sells and pairing it with the breads/bagels/croissants from the bakery.
