Yes I buy Kirkland as well. You're right much cheaper, but same horrendously wasteful packaging. So, talk to me about the bidet. I've always though that if I hosed myself off real good, then I could consistently use just one wipe with the tp to dry off, instead of needing an unpredictable number of wipings to the same without water. Is this realistic? Do you find it's consistently just one tp wipe per job? Because th…

I use really thin 1 ply scott tp that come with 1000 sheets per roll. It actually works pretty good, but I guess for drying from bidets, it gets saturated quickly compared to more luxury tp, so you have to use more. Maybe if I used the good stuff it would not take a lot. Also TP is a compostable and renewable resource, so I wouldn't worry that much about it's usage.

Good point. I don't know why it bothers me so much.

Incorrect. Most of AirBnBs profit comes from units that do not have the owner present. Aka a hotel.

Not only is that not the definition of hotel, you seem to think this carries a negative connotation?

Yes, that's a hotel. You have "home-sharing" and hotels. Just because it's a single house does not make it less of a hotel.
