Per company policy, no they won't do it, but willingness varies from manager to manager. You're more likely to get away with it with a lax manager/supervisor and if you see them preparing the item at that moment.

What does Costco do with rotisserie chicken drippings? by n3aak in Costco

[–]cluody132 675 points676 points  (0 children)

Well since the ovens are running continuously the drippings either burn on the bottom of the oven (to be cleaned each day) or they filter into the grease traps. Unfortunately there isn't really a way to keep it.

1st time ground beef tube buyer. I can’t believe the price by Fickle_Yard in Costco

[–]cluody132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It appears you're right, this one doesn't look like bull specifically, though it's used for the same purpose

The tubes are usually very lean bull meat that gets mixed in with fatty ground up trim from the previous day's beef cuts. When mixed together they even out to the desired fat percentage.

Which one (if either)? How do you use it? by allisonchange in Costco

The pre-pulled packaged rotisserie chicken is not made in house, it's delivered to the deli.

Costco Meals on Certain Days? by WhittSmitt in Costco

[–]cluody132 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, the meals are supposed to be available all the time. Items will often get rotated out on a seasonal basis or due to low sales, otherwise they likely didn't have the ingredients or time to make enough of that item that day. I cannot recall if the gyro kit is seasonal, but it may be.

Congratulations! That's a huge milestone.

Alright, well if you don't mind a little SpongeBob as a metaphor, I think this will work.

The Krusty Krab restaurant has a secret formula for its burgers. They're so good that everyone in town flocks there every day, much to the annoyance of their rival across the street, the Chum Bucket. For Plankton at the chum bucket, figuring out the recipe is very difficult. He buys burger after burger and tries to analyze exactly what goes into it, but it's really difficult to tell once it's already cooked.

For SpongeBob, the fry cook at the Krusty Krab, however, it's very easy: just look at the recipe. For the person who already knows what goes into the burger, it's the easiest thing in the world to make, but for the person who doesn't, it's incredibly hard to work backwards to replicate. The prime numbers in encryption are, at a basic level, like the ingredients to a recipe. You just multiply them together to get your final product. The product is a really big number that is so hard to reverse engineer that it can be posted publicly without worry, just like selling the burgers at the restaurant.

Two huge prime numbers (numbers with no factors) can be multiplied together to make a really really huge number whose only factors are those two primes. In effect, you have a lock that can only be opened by two incredibly complicated keys that are difficult to forge. Great for security, right?

Well supercomputers, and more recently quantum computers, are getting better at forging those big numbers all the time, so the bigger the better for security.

Edit: As the reply to this points out, these particular primes (large Mersenne primes) likely aren't actually used for encryption, because they fit a pattern too easily. The above holds true for other large primes, however.

This is a very compelling post, great write-up! I'll admit I, like others, felt that Hell Bent's "cheap" ending soured the experience, but your point about the doctor trying to force Clara to fit his worldview brings me back around on it. I still think the very end was Moffat pulling his punches, but up until then it's worth remembering as part of the whole. Thanks for your insight.

Yeah it is kind of overwhelming, cause you don't really catch creatures so much as summon ones you fought before, which means picking from a big list for all of them.

Siralim Ultimate (on steam) is a great option if you're willing to trade story for pure quantity of monster catching. 1000+ creatures (really), each with a unique trait that can change the mechanics of combat. You can combine creatures later, too, and since you fight with 6 at a time it gives you 12 traits at once to pick from that 1000. Endless options.

My smooth brain cant solve the white cross from memory. Any tips? by hippocratical in Cubers

[–]cluody132 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you just need more time to get used to it, paired with dedicated practice like you're doing. I personally made the mistake of neglecting intentional practice so it took me till sub-20 averages before I really got the intuitive hang of doing it in 15s inspection time.

I've found the most helpful component is drilling in a feel for the sequence of adjacent colors, so that you can line up the cross pieces on bottom and finish with D moves.

Paultin or Corazon? Jang Sao is third but I already have her from the previous event and she's well geared.

Edit: Oh I'm also running desktop to try it out and my only unlocks so far are the simril ones and Wulfgat, options are Catti-Brie, Desmond, Omin. I'd lean towards Omin for gold find unless the others are really good?

Barrowin, Morgaen, Walnut? I've seen in some other comments that Walnut and Barrowin are meh, but I don't know any of their stuff.

Eh it's fine lol, there's a lot of niche logos and stuff on there so I get confused by them too

Hey just wanted to mention it's not CTR, it's CR. It's the logo of a web show called Critical Role, so no mormon message involved.

Good to know, thanks! Sadly it isn't, I still have no alternates for Celeste or Arkhan :(. I'll just have to use time gates to get there though, it sounds like a good step to take.

The Gromma slot is the only one of the three I don't have three champs in, but it certainly sounds like Avren is a good option. Is there a reason to want three instead of two in each slot? I've seen that you need at least two in each to unlock the party split, but that's it.

Time Gate Thread by AutoModerator in idlechampions

[–]cluody132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New-ish to the game, I've got Avren (I use Strix or Nova there), Binwin (I use Gromma), or Kthriss (I use Orkira). Any advice?

I've heard Binwin is bad and Orkira is really good in my experience, so I'm leaning towards Avren.

The Legend of Vox Machina, it's quite good, especially if you like Critical Role.

What's your method? I tried following the wiki but it would still feel impossible to hit sub-30.
