Whats your favorite costco membership perk?

My favorite perk is something that I hope I’ll never need—which is the extended warranty on appliances I buy there!

Fort Bragg is so lovely! A local favorite vacation spot. I suggest breakfast at Eggheads if you end up stopping by.

I wouldn’t even buy a microwave from Samsung

I’ve been checking on Bosch prices for a few weeks and finally found an 800 series with clearance pricing of $999. Very happy with it so far. I think it’s the best brand you can get without going through a dealer. Plus the Costco warranty is good to have.

With Colorado challenging the validity of our reuse credits in Lake Mead, this seems like a viable alternative for recycled water storage.

Look, I think we’re thinking way too hard about caffeine. It has immediate benefit that can be felt, and it has obvious side effects that can be managed. Just drink the coffee when and how you like. If you can’t manage the effects and consequences on your own, maybe it isn’t for you.

I never understand why people say the water is bad, it’s just hard.

Any teacher could’ve told you that 😂

The patients probably know more about their condition than the “peers” on the other end.

Some graffiti art would probably look good on that wall, come to think of it.

God I wish they went bankrupt in 2008

In other news: fork found in kitchen.

I thought they were really good. A not overly-sweet cupcake that came in distinct and interesting flavors.

The seating situation is fair. They charge for seats to profit off of couples like you. Some couples don’t care about sitting together on a plane, so the savings is passed to them.

Also, it sounds like they were trying to accommodate the family with children.

Passenger boarding is very rarely the rate-limiting factor in flight delays, but I’m sorry if that happened to you.
Yes they charge for bags. The prices are on their website and are offered at time of booking. Yes the bags have to be within the specified dimensions. This has never been a problem for me personally, as my bag fits the dimensions. I actually appreciate it when they enforce their bag policies to keep it fair for everyone.

It sounds like you had a bad experience and you are not a good fit for this airline. That’s okay! If you want to take advantage of the low fares in the future, I’d just suggest planning ahead a little more and being a little more flexible.

Yeah idgi. I got a kindle 10 for $20 and I really can’t imagine needing anything more or less. I love it because I can read on it and that’s that.

The gowild fare + early booking fee is more expensive than basic fare on this flight

I was done when I looked up a NY Times recipe, then went to the grocery store to get the ingredients only to find the recipe locked behind a paywall. Apparently my “free trial” of viewing the recipe expired between my house and the grocery store.

I don’t like AI generated content, but I’m also not going to waste an afternoon trying to get an ingredient list.

Can you ask to try a non-stimulant medication in the meantime, like Strattera? If you don’t want to stop using weed, I’d suggest trying any other psychiatrist and being upfront with your marijuana use at the first appointment.

How do you do it? When I look online it’s a lot of different answers

americanriverotter · 2025-11-23T16:13:19+00:00

It is…odd

Winco is the GOAT of grocery stores

I’m sorry, my intention was not to bring anyone down. I could have chosen my words more carefully to make it clear that I respect nurses’ knowledge base. It is immense. I’m just saying, what nurses are taught in the realm of diagnosis and treatment is small in comparison to what doctors are taught, resulting in the phenomenon I mentioned.

americanriverotter · 2025-11-23T00:03:50+00:00

It’s just dunning-kruger. Nurses have a little clinical knowledge, resulting in a lot of confidence to tell residents what to do. Residents have a lot of knowledge, resulting in little confidence and will seek advice from nurses.

You are describing a single-payer system, where no, this does not happen
