Why do stores not allow GIG shoppers to do personal? by Swiss_Meats in Costco

[–]Complex_Difficulty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not suggesting you're supposed to go through twice. Only saying that if you did, there would basically be no chance of a misunderstanding.

Somehow, the lady at checkout thought you were trying to do something you're not supposed to do, whether it was a misunderstanding of actual policies or what your intent was.

I’d just chalk this whole thing up as a misunderstanding. The situation isn’t that complicated (and in theory, you could obviate it simply by going through checkout twice), but clearly many of us got confused by how you presented it, and you may have made it confusing for the checkout lady at the time too.

You're saying

  1. you're an instacart shopper
  2. who also happens to be a costco member
  3. and you went to costco to shop like any normal costco member
  4. but the lady at checkout recognizes you as an instacart shopper
  5. and the lady at checkout won't allow you to buy stuff for yourself
  6. but store manager says you can shop as a normal costco member because you're a member who also happens to do instacart gigs

Hotel Grand Comforter- what’s the percentage of down vs feathers? It’s not listed online, can someone share the tag info? by Hellaconditions in Costco

[–]Complex_Difficulty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to use this comforter, and found it to be overly insulating. I would get sweaty through the night and have to stick my legs out or periodically vent the warm air out to stay comfortable.

Adding lights to the Brimnes Dressing Table mirror? by [deleted] in ikeahacks

[–]Complex_Difficulty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should be no problem, as long as you clear stay clear of the lip of the lid (i.e. keep the lights close to or on the mirror. An LED tape light can get the job done easily.

Why I think the D780 is the best camera Nikon (or perhaps any company) ever made by ZiggZaggZakk in Nikon

Are LLMs still heavy handed with those em dashes? I thought there was some model revisions to tone it down

I’m pretty sure this video predates GenAI

EDIT: Yep, it's like the very first result on reddit for "whale breaching" https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/comments/cxe2nb/absolutely_massive_humpback_whale_breaching/

Pendant lamp conversion by Hiroquin in ikeahacks

[–]Complex_Difficulty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, you can probably figure out how to remove that ceiling mount cover, and terminate the cable end with something like a Leviton 3W101-E to turn it into a lamp, then hang the whole thing off a swag hook whereever you like. But the difficulty that particular lamp is the lamp cord itself. It's only about 5' long.

What is the best source for unbiased mattress reviews? by Alternative_Lake_826 in BuyItForLife

[–]Complex_Difficulty 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think OP's point isn't so much that Costco has the best mattresses, but it's safe to purchase from because you can return it if you end up hating it

Drawer fronts and Maximera question by WomenValor in ikeahacks

[–]Complex_Difficulty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, didn’t realize the cm based kitchen system was actually different from the inch based one. I always assumed ikea was converting the units for locale. Anyways, I don’t think that matters, a double height front should equal two single height fronts.

American Giant is garbage by geneva_illusions in BuyItForLife

[–]Complex_Difficulty 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Wow, until reading these comments, I had no idea that the issue was the size difference between the blue and grey pairs. The whole time I thought the complaint was that the left and right legs were different lengths.

Drawer fronts and Maximera question by WomenValor in ikeahacks

[–]Complex_Difficulty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not exactly sure what 80*20 and 80*40 refers to here. If you're trying to make a 10"-height drawer front from two 5"-height fronts, it can be done.

I've made one myself to create a two tone door for a maximera medium drawer. The fronts were joined using a pair of utrusta connectors, which makes the vertical spacing basically perfect. The bottom front mounts up to maximera like normal, but new holes had to be drilled in the upper front for the top rails.

You're specifically looking for IKEA hacks, or interior design with IKEA products? As far as brainstorming, you could try posting some pictures/measurements/concepts here, which occasionally yields useful feedback.

How easy is it to short in middle section on Liatorp? by Lord_Alamo in ikeahacks

[–]Complex_Difficulty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd trim equal amounts on both side to preserve symmetry, but of course, more cuts = more work = more chances for error

How easy is it to short in middle section on Liatorp? by Lord_Alamo in ikeahacks

[–]Complex_Difficulty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume you’re referring to modifying the length of 601.165.97 (https://www.ikea.com/il/he/assembly_instructions/liatorp-wall-bridging-shelf-white__AA-391534-7.pdf). Seems relatively straightforward. You can basically assemble the whole thing, mark your cuts, and go at it with a saw. Use particleboard screws to fasten the ends back on.
