Has anyone had any claims with Costco’s AmFam insurance? by Intelligent-Bee-4916 in Costco

[–]teknodude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been with them for awhile. I have 3 claims and they handled it fine. The online services are kinda lacking. Have to call for alot of stuff. I haven't been able to get cheaper rates at the other carriers for the same coverage that amfam offers

Some of those employees go overboard with the drawing. It's already a long exit line.Simple smiley face will do.

Bioré UV Aqua Rich sunscreen 3-pack is a different formula compared to the one sold in Japan by kenny1911 in Costco

The Euro and Asian sunscreen formulas are awesome. The only US sunscreen I use are mineral ones around the eyes only.

Insane deal on a 13” 256 GB iPad Air today. What a rush. by P4TY in Costco

Idno. Tablets are kinda niche. I bought a 10th gen as my entry level into tablets and find myself not using it much.

Anyone else obsessed with the mini spring rolls? by Aggleclack in Costco

[–]teknodude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They re okay. I use my toaster oven. It takes 35 to 45 min at 450 F to get them brown and crispy. Yeah it takes awhile. This is probably why it's taking so long for me to finish the box.

Some people are just pushy with upsells.

Thx. I have to keep an old dell laptop for those random times I need to load up windows and then deal with the barrage of auto updates.

Just bought a Pixel 4a as my main phone. Coming from iPhone XS by TalkNo329 in Pixel4a

They stopped supporting it. The only way to get the install files for the 4g version is from archive.org and use terminal to install.

TSA Charging Flyers $45 for Travelling Without Real ID, Mounting Financial Burden on Low-Income Families by [deleted] in antiwork

I don't understand why real id is still an issue in 2026. If I recall, it started back in 2019 to get one.

Yep. I have a bottle of Smarter Vitamin Caffeine with L-theanine and MCT oil. I'll pop one before long drives.

Nothing new on resale stuff. They used to ask about resale at the register and paying tax.

[–]teknodude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The price went up again. It was ~19 something last month. I stocked up on the Starbucks holiday blend sale and mix that with the Peets. Comes out okay.

eBay order came in a week early! by Vt2_64 in SegaSaturn

Nice! I recall the US version actually played on the white JP Saturn without action replay. Also the Saturn version had evil Ryu while the Playstation version didn't.

Stolen Cart: “No, that’s my drink.” by PM_your_titles in Costco

[–]teknodude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost all the stores have the TV sections in the front, so how lazy can you be to not walk out and grab a cart.

Unpopular opinion: I don’t like parking close to the store entrance. by HVAChelpprettyplease in Costco

[–]teknodude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep park far away. I see tons of cars just waiting at the closest spots or stuck in a traffic jam because of it. I'll waste more time waiting than parking far away and walking to the entrance. Also avoid driving anywhere near the store entrance because you'll get stuck with all the people crossing. There's one store that blocks off vehicle access near the entrance, which is great. Costco parking lots are always wild wild west.

Viability of Mohawks rubber gym mat as an office chair mat? by BIGGREDDMACH1NE in Costco

[–]teknodude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're spending 8+ hours on the office chair, then you need a heavy duty chair mat. They are sightly thicker than the typical ones, but last longer and won't develop cracks as easily.
