No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Besides the math to determine per unit cost, you might also need to consider the opportunity cost of having so many.

used to work at Sam's Club in highschool (yeah. it was awful then. I suspect it's more-awful now). What people don't want to know? those big ginormous tubs of mayo? they go bad rather quickly. Not like, rancid bad, but they're definitely not as fresh or as worthwhile.
Also the rotisserie chickens, bakery and meat are loss leaders to get you in the door. everything else they're making huge profits on. Especially everything that's at the front of the store- the bulk candy, the electronics, the seasonal things. those god awful t-shirts and disgustingly cheap tube tops.
never by mayo in bulk. Also never buy the nacho cheese. Nobody needs a gallon-can of nacho-flavored valve sealant. just. trust me on that.
What if I want to repair my roof, while at the same time feeling like my seats are too close to the concession stand at Fenway Park
Look, you don’t have to trust me, that’s between you and your gastroenterologist
Bulk mayo makes sense if you’re a restaurant or cafeteria or running a summer camp or something like that. Probably not for many other people.
Nacho cheese doubles as a personal lubricant.
What other flavors valve sealant you got I'm a man of discriminating tastes
They had serveral versions of tire sealant in the automotive section.
They also had frozen “creamy potato soup” that contained no potatoes and didn’t need to be refrigerated.
It’s been a while though.
So is that soup good on my valves or what we got a race this weekend and I'm not falling behind Jimmy three valves again
I used to buy engine oil and filters in bulk, then car needed to be totaled. Difficult selling oil as a private.
Is it easily repairable?
What's the percentage of new stock being faulty already?
