I've never actually been to a Costco but it feels very similar to Sam's Club

[@Austin_Niepołomice]

@@captainchaos5705 It is in that they are bulk warehouse stores, but Costco has a union employees that are treated very well with good pay and benefits in addition to a high rate of internal hiring from their warehouses (aka stores) for corporate. So life for the people working at Costco is way better than someone at Sam's Club.

[@jackielinde7568]

Doesn't your costco have large quantities of "not food items" and a huge selection of electronics? If not, I feel sad for you. Mine does.

[@Lotties_handsaw]

Where I live we have to travel about an hour over incredibly winding roads to get to Costco. It's a pretty big chore, so it's only really for things that are marked down enough to warrant the gas for a two hour round trip, often it's combined with the trip back from the airport to get around that restriction.

[@KuraIthys]

I only know of Costco as a vague, nebulous concept. None of the countries I live in have Costco, or, by the descriptions people give, really anything even vaguely similar to Costco. I guess the closest you might get is Asda in the UK, but that's more comparable to Walmart. - it's a Supermarket chain but frequently has a large selection of other goods, such as clothes and electronics. (how large depends on the store. Some it's a small section of the store. Other's it's half or more of the whole store.) I mean, department stores are a thing I guess. But again, even the 'cheap' Department stores like say Kmart & Target in Australia (not to be confused with their similar yet seemingly unrelated counterparts in the US - just as Woolworths in Australia has little in common with the former Woolworths of the UK), don't seem much like how a Costco is described...

[@Eramiserasmus]

Cameron, stay away from the wolves! And James will show up and be very angey that they got him banned and destroyed his card. But most of all, thank Beej and Garahm for what had to be at least 4 takes to get that Papertowel-Trash brigade to work.

Alright I have been waiting for a new episode to post my Commodore Hustle fan theory. CH is meant to be watched backwards. It's actually a series about people telling stories about the group and all the things that happened. My best example is when Paul lost his McCarthy genius grant. If you start the series there, you hear of phantobaige. It seems like a silly joke, but if you watch the series backwards it tells how they got to that point. It goes from having just silly jokes in single shot stories that have long call backs from years ago. Those call backs happen because the it's like telling a story in a group of friends. "Wait you missed the part about" or "Wait, let me explain by going further back you see this happened". I don't know if that makes sense to anyone because I am running on pure caffeine because school, work, family hard. Maybe I'll post in more detail when I'm more cognizant.

Am I missing something in that scene there doesn't seem to be a clock or any other indication of the time. Also it is something of a misconception that wolves only howl at night, while they tend towards being nocturnal it is not as universal a trait as most nocturnal animals and if they happen to be up during the day they will howl the same as at night.
