Bought my wife a brand new one and subsequently used it a week later to stick up in a wall cavity to thaw my frozen water line :okay:

Lots of innuendo there lol

That hair dryer really sums up Dyson though. People cry about it on IG etc. but try and find a woman who owns one who doesn’t think it’s worth it

my gf has the dyson too but she also bought a cheap version from Amazon for like $40 to keep at my place. in her own words, the difference is about 3-4 mins drying time for her long hair. to a guy, that absolutely would not justify the difference in price lol. but yeah, here we are.

Ive had 3 sharks.

One was a corded wand style which was great for my small condo. 6 years and never a single issue. Ended up selling it for almost as much as I bought it for. Keeping the box seems to help.

The second was an upright that worked flawlessly. I forget the name. Unfortunately the wand was designed with rivet bolts that would strip away when you adjust the wand, making the wand unusable. The vacuum itself worked perfectly.

Shark sent me a stratos as a free replacement and it does not have a riveted wand and is way better built. So far no issues. The deodarizer puck is a gimmick but damnit i love that fresh scent of clean carpets.

So yeah, 3 sharks, no problems other than rivets (which could have been diy repaired but I wanted free upgrade).

I think I just carpet bombed dukes :lol

We briefly had a Shark stick vacuum at work. By briefly, it was only with us for a couple of hours before the owner trashed the whole thing in the dumpster because it worked so poorly.

It was particularly unusual because he's prudent with finances, but the vacuum was bad enough that taking it back to Costco for a refund was out of the question :lol

[unit]

yeah i also had a shark navigator which is an upright bagless, and my gf at the time happened to have the exact same one and they both worked fine lol. i ended up donating both of them when we moved to a condo together

[TOS'd]

I have a Shark StainStriker which is a portable carpet and upholstery cleaner. Great for pet owners.

I do have a vitamix and i have to say that self detect technolgy is BS.
I did come from a crappy ass oyster blender so it was night and day.

I honestly do not know if the ninja versus vitamix side by side comparison which i'm sure it's on youtube.

For normal people your ninja is fine. For those who blend with a lot of ice it does take a bit of hp. no, i don't make soup with it. I'm asian. It needs to boil.

When my wife had craving, we did make ice cream with the vitamix (which i'm sure any blender worked).

I got my vitamix for $120 which also came with a solo cup attachment so i ain't complaining.

[Badhobz]

I also came from a 15 year old oyster blender (glass and metal components!) to this new fangled blender.

Well, i just used it yesterday and it uhhh... blends. Its quieter, but everything is plastic. The only thing thats metal is the blades. Did a pretty good job blending my protein smoothie so i guess its a keeper.

i bought a blendtec for $379 like probably 15 years ago and still using it to this day.
ive put over 1500 cycles on it and had the jars warrantied a few times, it's been a good purchase.
the motor seems built like a tank and im sure it will keep going for years to come.
i do sorta like the vitamix design with the tamper lid, but i like that the blendtecs blades are blunt and you cant cut yourself cleaning it.
sounds like a fucking rocket though... i've contemplated buying an enclosure for it...

with blendtec its all good as long as you're making something liquidy. if you're trying to make hummus or a smoothie that has a lot of frozen stuff in it, its kinda hard to get it to blend without going too liquidy unless you have a tamper. who wants watery hummus... nobody.

We had the V15 detect from last last Christmas when Dyson was doing the combo sale with Rakuten. We liked it but the canister broke earlier this year and Dyson replaced the whole thing. The whole ordeal took like 2 months, partly on the stupidity of Purolator.

Dyson upgraded us to the new gen5 as a replacement at no cost. There's no trigger anymore as it's an on/off button on the back of the unit. There's pros and cons to it, but I do find that it's gotten a bit too heavy as a mobile unit. The sucking power is great though, I thought the V15 was strong, the gen5 is even stronger.

Same experience with our old vitamix. It was $500 I think way back then? Probably 15 years old. Loud AF. But it's also a tank. Blades are blunt too, just like yours. Love how it makes smoothies and blends ice into that perfect consistency. Oyster, black and decker, etc, could never blend ice like this mofo does.

I have a challenge for everyone in this thread next time you go to costco:

1. Price out enough westernized Chinese food to feed a family of 8 for a feast
2. Sweet and sour something is a must
3. Beef black bean broccoli of course
4. Chicken chow mein pho sho
5. Egg/spring rolls no doubt
6. Needs a vegetarian dish
7. Needs rice and won ton
8. Comes with a dessert

Price it out. If you were taking a family camping and wanted to blow everyone's minds with the first night of the most amazing Chinese food dinner from Costco, post the list here with the prices. GO!!!!!

Are you trying to do a trailer park Ching Chong themed potluck ?!! Dats racist !!!

Not Chinese since Costco Chinese food sucks total dicks. But you can do a pretty decent Korean bbq setup

1) marinaded beef bulogi is like 30 bucks. Enough to make probably 4 meals. For sure enough for 8
2) the big can of kimchi for 8 dollars. Goes well with the beef above.
3) cook rice and prosper.

how do you even reheat that.. toast up the waffle and chicken separately and then put the coleslaw back after?
the least they can do is separate the slaw..

I tried the pierogies and they aren't bad - they are overdressed with sauce (so probably massive calories) but they are fine. My top pre-made meal choices at Costco are the shawarma meat/pita platter, the lasagna and the pot pie - the perogies probably fall around the same place as the tempura prawn taco tray (middle tier).

Yea I looked at those waffles and perogies yesterday and quickly moved on, grabbed the staple chicken pot pie, easy and the kids love it. Pairs well with the greek pasta salad they have too.

The tiramisu box thing is actually pretty solid if you have a few people for dessert or are wanting to be a fat pos and eat it all yourself.

-tried both pastrami and the Montreal Smoked meat. Subtle difference in the meat texture.

You're right about the Montreal smoked meat. It is overrated. tastes about the same as Pastrami haha.

Montreal smoked meat: softer, melt in your mouth texture. The meat is steamed for a softer texture.

Pastrami: firmer and chewier texture. Smoked meat, then baked or boiled.

The spices used in either Pastrami or Montreal smoked meat are pretty much the same. Garlic, mustard seed, etc.

Oh, I wished I had seen this thread earlier.

I literally just got back from a Costco run and while waiting for a hot dog, the lady at the food counter gave me an unclaimed Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich. I'd have to agree that it's not very good and I would not pay the $7.99 or whatever they are asking for it.

Yes, they were pretty bad. I think we got lucky at our resort where the bread is kind of like the HK-style bread which was soft and nice. But as a sandwich, literally a slice of ham and some random cheese. It truly highlighted their economic situation. Ironic that the better Cuban sandwich in Miami is just across the water from Cuba.

Cuba seems like just a budget destination for east coasters. Seems like it has zero redeeming qualities as a vacation destination.

Ditto. Lots of Toronto/Montreal-based people we met come regularly for a cheap vacation. Some people have been coming back to the resort we stayed at for years, and I'm like, WTF? :badpokerface: They don't want to go to any other destination because they know what to expect and they got to know the staff on a personal basis. One couple we met at a dinner come back four times a year!

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/lululemon-costco-dupe-knockoff-lawsuit-1.7574413

Lululemon is accusing Costco of infringing on its intellectual property by selling knock-offs of some of its most popular products.

A lawsuit filed in a California court recently alleges Costco sells "dupes" of Lululemon's Scuba hoodies and sweatshirts, Define jackets and ABC pants.

Some of the alleged fakes Vancouver-based Lululemon identified are sold under Costco's private label Kirkland, but others are made by manufacturers Danskin, Jockey and Spyder.

I happen to wear the ABC pants from Lululemon - they're fantastic but pricey ($138) and with my recent weight loss none of them fit anymore but I don't want to replace them 1:1 as I'm still losing more weight. Definitely going to try the Kirkland knockoff pants and shorts now.

[6793026]

yah they ain't cheap - i pivoted over to golf pants eons ago and I feel it's more breathable and 'light weight'. I haven't seen the jackets in GTA but now i'm intrigued.

costco also tried to get sued over their golf products, i think their clubs and balls were "copying" one of the big golf brands i forget which brand though

costco's golf/urban wear pants are pretty nice and affordable. they're not kirkland, they're other brands like Head, Mondetta, etc...

i don't think i've seen kirkland branded ones yet...

The shorts are mostly sold out in 30 and 32 sizes. The shorts aren't true to size as they are about an inch-ish over size on the waist. The Khaki/Beige colour is terrible in person, much too light. The gray and blue looks a bit better. I bought some for my dad and the scanner had a hard time with coupon on screen. No limits it seems.

I got my pants and shorts on Friday and the pants are as you describe - they're fine. For the price they're pretty good though - if the ABC pants are a 9/10 I'd say these are a 5/10 and good enough for day to day wear but definitely not a replacement for the ABC pants. Shame about the lack of colours - they need a navy blue and a proper khaki.

The shorts are a lot closer to the ABC shorts - like a 7 or 8/10 compared to a 9. Shame about the lack of colours as well and the beige isn't a great shade of beige. For the price they are great though. If they had better colours I'd sub these in for ABC shorts no problem.

What does it mean when a dash cam is 2 channel?

[bcrdukes]

What does it mean when a dash cam is 2 channel?

It means you have a camera up front and in the back of the car. Three channel is when there is a camera aimed at the interior so you see everyone inside the car.

[Badhobz]

YOU HAVE THE BEST FUCKING AVATAR NOW DUKES !

according to this dash cam, it captures the front, and inside the car. so in case you get rear ended you can see the prick who smashes you.

Correct - 2 channel means 2 cameras.

For this specific item, the description says it's front and interior cameras.

[Badhobz]

boooo. we should have told him one channel has HBO, the other one is for netflix.

[Hondaracer]

Figured that’s what it was, however in the case of this camera it’s probably 2 cameras built into that one mounted unit then given it’s the interior camera?

[winson604]

Correct, you can tell from the pictures it's one device with 2 cameras pointing in each direction.

Common for ride shares but pretty useless for the average person. Traditionally 2 channel would mean 2 separate cameras one for the front and one for the rear to see behind the car. Been rocking 2 channels hardwired on all our vehicles for years now and it's really a no brainer imo. Small investment at the end of the day.

Curious about your experience on parking mode and impact on 12v battery life.

I recently picked up a RedTiger 2-channel on the cheap (club promo) and haven't installed it yet because I've been iffy on whether I want to hardwire it or not for the sake of not killing the battery.

[68style]

When I got my Supra I got a front and rear dashcam installed, I got it put in its own power supply (big battery) isolated from the cars electrical system for the drainage issue reason. Worked like a charm, never had any problems.

The camera systems battery charged when the car was on and that was the only way it was connected.

I have dual channel and it doesn't kill my battery life, you just need to set the voltage cutoff correctly.

I go with 12.8v, maybe I get less parking footage but better for my battery.

[Badhobz]

I have a thinkware one (the cheapest one) that’s hardwired to the fusebox. No issues on the ratrolla or the RXs. It automatically cuts off when voltage is below 12.6

[winson604]

I ran a dual with parking mode on my old Mazda for about 7 years, wife's Acura for about 5, and a dual on my Toyota for 3 now none of the cars have had any issues they were all set with voltage cutoffs. P.S. I did not do this myself had them all installed from Blackbox.

I should also note I didn't spend any money to buy the battery kit. We just used the cameras standard hardwiring kit which has built-in timer and voltage monitoring for Parking Mode. We use Blackvue cameras.

I recently picked up a RedTiger 2-channel on the cheap (club promo) and haven't installed it yet because I've been iffy on whether I want to hardwire it or not for the sake of not killing the battery.

I keep cutoff on the highest voltage 12.4? 12.6? I've also over the years gathered enough jump starters to keep 1 in each car. Size of the battery definitely makes a difference..... But parking mode definitely shortens battery life. Take RSX for example. No dashcam and battery lasts 7-8 years. Honda Fit with parking mode and I'm changing the battery every 18 months, but many times, it'll need jump starts.. CCA on the Fit is something like 350, but Canadian Tire won't warranty it unless CCA tests at less than 300, so I'd be testing at about 320cca, having to jump the car once in a while until it finally drops to 300 and I can warranty it. Mid 2000 Benz ML, that thing has a massive battery, but I still had to warranty that thing, but only once during the warranty period.

It's not so bad when I know I have a jumper, because it's only a minor inconvenience to jump it. What sucks is wasting hours for Canadian Tire to run their test and some times they won't even let me warranty it yet, so I just keep using it and keep jumping until CCA drops more.

Those dashcam battery packs are pretty expensive, but if you value having a higher chance of starting your car every time, then the battery pack might be worth it to you.
I don't go the battery pack route because I get 2-3 batteries for every $200-300 I spend.

[Qmx323]

I just bought a power bank from Amazon and plugged the power bank into a switched ac socket in the car.

When car is off, dash cam draws from power bank, when car is on, power bank charges.

[Hondaracer]

That’s way too much work

Thanks for this. My Group 35 Canadian Tire battery, I think was purchased some time in 2022 and it has a 4 year warranty until 2026 (Asian bad luck!) It's 640CCA at -18c and 785CCA at 0 degrees. Our factory/original battery died in the winter of '22 when it was something like -25c with the windchill with a much lower rating, so not bad for a wimpy factory battery. I think we also had a record snowfall.

I'll probably play it safe (for now) and run it via cigarette lighter adapter and hardwire it later on. I'll test the battery with a tester this week to see how it is and make a decision then.

It's almost come to the point that Costco isn't a deal anymore.

Lately I've bought my rib eyes at Columbus Meats, ends up cheaper than Costco, and more fresh.

[Badhobz]

But I thought you didn't want your meat fresh. Isn't everyone clamouring over dry-aged meat? 18 days or more to develop the flavour.

[GLOW]

i find quite often it isn't. i simply don't/can't use up what i buy in such large quantities and it can be wasted/thrown out, unless it's something non-perishable like toilet paper :lol

[Eff-1]

I picked up a 4 pack of tenderloin filet for $71 yesterday :\

On another note, has anyone ever seen those canned air dusters at Costco?

[mikemhg]

Fresh meaning the meat doesn't go grey/blue within 2 days sitting in the fridge.

I've noticed that happen with Costco beef for whatever reason, meat starts going stinky and discolored only a day or so sitting in the fridge.

I know they always recommend you freeze right away, but with Costco it's kind of ridiculous.

Fresh meaning the meat doesn't go grey/blue within 2 days sitting in the fridge.

I've noticed that happen with Costco beef for whatever reason, meat starts going stinky and discolored only a day or so sitting in the fridge.

I heard it was due to the mechanical tenderizing they do. Introduces bacteria just under the surface.

[Eff-1]

^ do they still do that? the last time I bought steaks from costco was a while ago, but I remember the package was labeled as mechanically tenderized. But yesterday, I noticed there was no labelling so I wonder if they still do it?

[jing]

Steaks? In this economy? Meanwhile I'm here stripping copper from some old electronics that failed!

Not sure if this goes in the weight loss thread or the Costco thread.

What do you get when you mix marathon mileage, food court favourites, and a whole lot of chaotic good energy?

If you’re Amir Nikravan, you get the unofficial Costco Marathon, a 42.2-kilometre warehouse-hopping endurance event powered by hot dogs and pure running joy.

Fresh off his Off the Rail run series in 2024, where he ran the full length of all the SkyTrain lines over one month, Nikravan had a craving for something new.

“The Costco Marathon was a fun little run idea that had been brewing in my head for the past few months,” he shares with the Straight. “Last year I ran all three of the SkyTrain lines, so I wanted to do something a little different this time around. Costco has a big fan following, so how can I create an event that's fun enough for people to join in on my crazy run idea?”

That something different turned into a 42.2-kilometre trek linking five Lower Mainland Costco locations: Port Coquitlam, both Burnaby warehouses, Vancouver, and Richmond, which took place this past Saturday.

“Originally, I had the route planned as a 30km run from four Costcos,” Nikravan explains. “But then I was curious about the distance to add a fifth and it worked out perfectly to be a marathon distance.”

The run started at 9 a.m. in Port Coquitlam, timed to the store’s opening, and came with one delicious catch.

“At each location we stopped to have an item off the menu," Nikravan says. Some people had a hot dog at each food court, while others worked their way through different menu items.”

He shared the event on Strava and a few run club channels, not expecting much, but word spread fast. A total of 27 runners participated throughout the day. Five finished the full marathon distance, while many more tackled distances of over 30K or half-marathon lengths.

Onlookers were amused. “We had plenty of people honk at us during the run in a friendly way or people taking photos while they were shopping,” Nikravan says.

Even Costco employees embraced the chaos.

“The managers at every Costco were so nice when they saw us,” he adds. “At the Still Creek location, that manager stopped us on our way past Customer Service to ask what we had planned for the day. We told him our story, and he loved our idea so much that he took a photo with us and offered us some water. He also called the next Costco in Vancouver to let them know we were coming, and same to the Richmond location, where we were welcomed by their managers and given waters as well.”

With legs sore and bellies full, Nikravan says there’s a good chance the Costco Marathon will return.

“This was such a blast that it might have to be an annual thing.”

For now, the runners are recovering, the internet is buzzing, and the legend of the most wholesomely unhinged marathon in Vancouver continues to grow.

After all, anyone can run a race—but it takes a special kind of genius to finish one with mustard on their shirt.

Costco has Dole whip now. So good.

[Hondaracer]

Yea it’s alright.. figured it would be softer as opposed to just like the popsicle in a cup form it is

[Badhobz]

It’s too sweet and not creamy enough. Basically taste like frozen pineapple juice.

[roastpuff]

It’s too sweet and not creamy enough. Basically taste like frozen pineapple juice.

I mean, it tastes pretty close to what I had at Disney.

Dole whip basically IS frozen pineapple juice. It's dairy free and vegan.

[Badhobz]

Is it ? I thought it’s suppose to be pineapple soft serve.

[Hondaracer]

That Costco stuff doesn’t taste anything like the actual dole whip lol.. at least not dat mouth feel :lol

Flavour is similar though but totally diff texture

Do you guys have Coca Cola at the food court yet?

Got my Exec member rebate cheque: $214.91. Means I spent a bit over $10k at Costco in the past year ($2k of it was for my hearing aids). Not bad.

Not gonna lie all this talk of glizzies has me wanting to head down to Still Creek and grab a few today...

[mikemhg]

Etymology of glizzy for our local Chinaman, Hobz.

Glizzy was primarily used to refer to handguns, specifically Glocks. In the DC area, glizzy started to be used as a name for hotdogs, with "Zeke" Ezekiel Elliot of the Dallas Cowboys making it viral as a pop culture term.

[Badhobz]

For glocks sure. But this is a war crime of language usage to apply it to a fucking hot dog.

That was me, I bank with Vancity. I also park in the 1 hour parking there when I go to London Drugs/Earls because I'm a lazy piece of shit who takes his car and doesn't just walk across the street instead.

Say hello to me next time.
