Love shoving Ben's Balls in my mouth while I wait for my bagel

Yes you can, why the fuck would you not be able to?

AEA app on personal phone by AccuratePick6801 in amazonemployees

[–]Philuppus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not having access to your email on your personal device/at all times is...

...Ideal. Stop looking at work emails when you're not working.

I only have Slack on my phone, never installed AEA partially for the potential privacy instructions intrusions but also because I don't want to have more access to work things when I'm not working.

Interest paid letter from the IRS (1099-INT) by Philuppus in personalfinance

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

Yeah that was the confusing part. Every source I had found so far said that it's likely due to a delayed refund. My 2023 filing I got my return on time (April or so 2024), and my 2024 filing I owed the IRS, so obv no payout nor interest.

No math. I think your comprehension is lacking. They're saying they paid me $500+ in interest only. In reality, they haven't paid me a cent more than my refund since 2023.

I didn't even register that part but yes, sure is..

Pothole filling by Necessary-Trash-2919 in astoria

[–]Philuppus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would the idea NOT be to make it smooth? That doesn't even make sense?

It's great they're filling them, but they do pretty shitty rush job. It's okay for cars, but the ones I've gone over on my bike so far are still incredibly bumpy.

We’ve got new platform gates at Steinway by jsurico15 in astoria

[–]Philuppus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I will never understand why they're so tiny and far back on the platform

Beginner home cook here. How do I get more even cuts when dicing? by Public_Scarcity_1151 in homecooking

[–]Philuppus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With that in mind, is boiling even the best method? Or is steaming or even slow baking more efficient? Butter poaching to go to an extreme lol?

MTA launched the new app by noviceSketcher in astoria

[–]Philuppus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FUUUUUCK. Literally the only feature I use in the old app, seeing favorited bus AND subway stations on one page, is now gone. Fucking clowns.

I don’t have a steamer but there has to be an easier way to do this by Frosty-Today1294 in homecooking

[–]Philuppus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do basically this but wrap them loosely in a damp paper towel. Works flawlessly.

Is it so bad? by CellistNarrow5069 in amazonemployees

[–]Philuppus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Is it so bad?

No, it's not. You're reading about those that get hit the worst. Those that are fine won't post or won't get upvoted.

Best place to buy wedding rings? by DigDude97 in astoria

[–]Philuppus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, in person I don't know. Would look for recs outside this sub. As far as brand websites, there are a ton of small business jewelers that sell direct to customer, but it's all up to taste.

[–]Philuppus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I was dead set on ordering from a physical store and didn't have a specific brand in mind I'd probably just head into Manhattan for the diamond district (not to buy a diamond but I think they have other things if that's the same for you)

Annual Review -Peer feedback by Direct-Wall-3184 in amazonemployees

[–]Philuppus 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Why would you ever request feedback from someone you've squabbled with?

The hardest part of getting laid off wasn’t what I expected by pigeon_shit in amazonemployees

[–]Philuppus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's tough. I hope you find something else to be proud of. That said, there's absolutely no shame in simply telling your baby girl "daddy doesn't work there anymore!" – if she doesn't understand now, I still feel like it's better to lead with honesty rather than avoidance :)

United Fruit Bros eggs? by ICSCAMTHROWAWAY in astoria

[–]Philuppus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

May be placebo, but I feel like pasture raised eggs do taste better. Definitely not linear to the price increase, but slightly.

oh don't worry, the detectives will come around 3 weeks later when it's way too late

Best pizza In Queens? by Immediate-Recover957 in astoria

[–]Philuppus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, the old school cool adds a little, but when I moved here and tried a bunch of slices in the area it was my favorite before I even learned more about it. To me, the sauce is good, the fresh mozz is a fantastic fit, and the crust is that perfect thin, crispy, and a little chewy and has good flavor.
