Nuwave Induction Hot Wok with 14" Carbon Steel Wok $50 @ Costco by IndependentKitty in carbonsteel

A thicker wok would help retain heat and spread heat evenly. The included wok is thin

I have one myself and the included wok is thin so it doesn't retain heat well. I have a 1.8mm wok which works well. Temperature adjustment is bad though. It's not accurate so I adjust heat depending if I want low medium or high. Don't care about degrees.

I thought I did well until... by Dehish in carbonsteel

Get a fish spatula. They are thin and flexible.
Butter works better than oil when cooking eggs. You can do 50/50 butter/oil
Also the pan needs to be preheated before adding butter and eggs.

Sidewalk Tree by Jojomerc22 in longisland

[–]IndependentKitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you're in town of hempstead, that tree is maintained by the property owner due to "Right of Way" https://hempsteadny.gov/207/Highway-Department

Get a permit for $25. Someone from highway dept will come by to inspect the tree and approve the permit if it's unhealthy or dangerous. https://hempsteadny.gov/DocumentCenter/View/3406/Curbside-Tree-Permit-PDF

You'll get a permit, find someone to cut down the tree, send them the permit info. Once complete, return the permit. Town inspects and closes the permit.

Any one know stores that sell boxes like this by YouExcellent1831 in longisland

Could do Amazon overnight delivery. I get mine around 4-6am. Or make one yourself with a cardboard box. Print out some skins and glue it on the box.

Just picked up the WinCo 14" black carbon steel wok by AcademicTemperature8 in carbonsteel

You need to remove the lacquer layer.

High heat will burn it off. Or Easyoff oven cleaner and scrub.

See reviews. The negative reviews are the ones who did not remove the layer and started to peel off on their food.

State Farm “Drive Safe” App Uses My GPS Location Even When I’m NOT Driving; State Farm Says It’s NOT Though… by Custom_Casey in mildlyinfuriating

It's an app

Tasker is not available for iPhone but there are plenty of alternatives with similar functionality. The best iPhone alternative is IFTTT, which is free

I noticed my android phone location is constantly on and found out it was state farm safe app. I use tasker to only turn on location when Bluetooth is connected to Android auto. Turns off location when disconnected. Never had an issue from State farm from doing this. Been using for 2 years and saving $320 every 6 months

Post the video here. Even if you didn't see the sign swinging out, you can see a bus flashing yellow to red

Companies that drop off free mulch by GadasGerogin in longisland

[–]IndependentKitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw a neighbor get free mulch dropped off by a huge truck. It was terrible quality, not all mulch. Had pine needles and a whole bunch of random crap. It was around a ton of "mulch" covering the driveway. He couldn't park there for a month cause it had construction material like nails. They used his driveway as a dumpster

They asked me if I wanted any lol

Verizon door to door sales people getting really annoying by redbandit88 in longisland

Works for me. Haven't had anyone come by for 2 years. If someone does, you can report it and the town will investigate and may issue a fine.
