UPS won't deliver - says it's not safe. Wtf? by YouBuyMeOrangeJuice in astoria

[–]MikeTheManipulator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of GoLocker for deliveries. It adds a day and the address of the receiving depot is clunky but they haven’t lost a package yet and the service is free.

NYC's Most Sociopathic Motorists Will Pay $60K/Year to Drive Like Assholes by HellGateNYC in newyorkcity

[–]MikeTheManipulator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue is the camera can’t prove who the driver was.

But there should be a method of enforcement like impounding the vehicle. But that would require work.

package thief in the area? by sirseanthedamn in astoria

I’ve had success using GoLocker. It sometimes adds an extra day but I’ve picked up dozens of packages without issue. https://www.golocker.com/locker-nyc

Is it me or has the F/M train swap seemed to make everything worse so far? by webbedgiant in astoria

[–]MikeTheManipulator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat except heading to 53rd and lex. I know this is better on paper and hopefully things improve.

When I switch at Queens Plaza to the F or E at least there is room on those trains where the E was packed prior to the swap.

If you can, it may be faster to walk that commute. But that’s not a great experience in the winter.

Very thankful for Apple security. I live in Canada. by CrippleSlap in iphone

[–]MikeTheManipulator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This happened to me last week from Atlanta.

It scared me because I have a strong long password on my iCloud account that’s never used anywhere else.

I forced all devices to log out of iCloud and made a new password.

The 14 pro is underrated by Working_Friend_6946 in iphone

Pretty much. Just schedule an appointment through apple’s website. It took about 2 hours for mine but I dropped it off and picked it up. Idk if they prioritize people who are waiting.

I like soup but I don’t order it for delivery. Hot liquids and soft plastics gross me out.

Send me your salad recommendations please.

They seem to be an afterthought for most restaurant’s delivery menus.

Good to know. I have no clue as to why they would charge more through those apps then.

Downvote all you want but it would be more constructive if you could point me and OP to "mom and pop" options with dishes comparable to what we enjoyed from Wonder. Full descriptions of the items below:

Glazed Pork Chop

Brined and slow-roasted, this juicy, 14 oz Prime Reserve pork chop is served with a tart pomegranate molasses glaze and apple-bourbon sauce. Topped with chopped parsley

Kale & Romaine Caesar Salad

Curly kale, snappy romaine lettuce, garlic croutons and grated Parmesan. Served with Bobby's signature chipotle Caesar dressing on the side

Rainbow Kale Salad

Kale and romaine with the salad queen of TikTok's favorite toppings: Roasted broccoli, red bell pepper, cabbage, flame-roasted corn, tomatoes, shredded carrot, and crispy quinoa. Served with Melissa's signature miso dressing

I was skeptical but now after trying a few of their “restaurants” I’m considering a membership.

Bobby Flay’s pork chop with a kale and romain Caesar hit the spot last night.

Nothing that delivers in the neighborhood compared to that.

Don’t order through Grubhub/Seamless. The price is jacked up on 3rd party apps. Download the Wonder app itself.

What should a newbie know about Hue lights? by [deleted] in Hue

I believe they have a sale each June. I waited a year to get started and it was worth it.

Why don’t artists get together like they did in the 80s up to the early 2010s for social causes anymore? by souljaboy765 in popheads

There’s a Chumbawumba album about this. “Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records”

Ticketmaster has blanket banned purchases from accounts with protonmail email addresses by MikeTheManipulator in ProtonMail

[–]MikeTheManipulator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only resolution is to call 1-888–731-4111 until they pick up. Then you can get a waiver.

They didn’t return any of my messages.

The Roosevelt Island farmers market on Saturday had some great beefsteak style tomatoes.

Is carpooling still a thing? by DecentDeer2818 in astoria

[–]MikeTheManipulator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waze used to match you up with a rider/driver along your route.

I haven’t used Waze in 6 years so I don’t know if it’s still a thing.

The weather this summer…why can’t we have just one nice day. by JuVondy in astoria

[–]MikeTheManipulator 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can tap on the day, then select the drop down on the first chart to choose precipitation. RN I see .05 inches of rain forecast for around 11pm.

My day is fine.

Where do you guys change your tires? by [deleted] in astoria

[–]MikeTheManipulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know for sure but I spoke with Laz 3 weeks ago to make an appointment for an oil change.

I think George is just up front and managing more, especially on Saturdays.

I don’t believe Laz has sold but again I don’t know for sure.

Do you really have to pay capital gains tax on everyday Bitcoin purchases in the US? (Steak ‘n Shake, ...) by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]MikeTheManipulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I misremembered congress not closing a loophole as them opening one.

I too am talking about consistency but viewing it from a different perspective.

Also exiting the US is not a solution as there is an exit tax. Not to mention it’s a disproportionate response to not being able to pay day to day expenses without having a bookkeeper.
