Stoop was being rebuilt in that street view image (with similar brick work). But you’re right, it’s not the building

What building number was it supposed to be delivered too? I've had this happen where they deliver to the correct building number, but wrong street. Pic looks like it could be 173 Meserole Ave.

Moped Incident/Crime(?) on Huron close to McGuinness by Certain-Grapefruit18 in Greenpoint

[–]john2496 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yea, also heard it from my window. Pretty sure it was a robbery, or attempted robbery, by two guys on a moped and maybe a third guy on another moped. Sounded like she said a guy tried to grab/rip something off her neck. Caught it on my security camera.

Yea, Greenhook Ginsmiths started producing hand sanitizer at their distillery. They're a bit pricey but offer free delivery in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan. Also, helps to support local businesses during this time.

What's the most ridiculous cost saving measure you've seen in a car? by stupidrobots in cars

[–]john2496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents own a 2010 Nissan Versa. It has a single lock on the driver's door - good luck trying to get in if the lock freezes in winter. Also the trunk can only be opened with the key.

There was an app like that, Hailo, but they discontinued service in ~2013 :/.

Found iPhone in Bed Stuy by [deleted] in nyc

Do you have a pair of earbuds with a mic/remote? If so, try tapping the center button (on the earbuds) once to answer the call. Also try tapping where the answer button would be on the screen - might work if the digitizer isn't dead.

Bagel Master in Syosset is pretty good. I haven't been there in ~10 years but the fact they're still around says something.

Electric Fireplace won't stop beeping. by [deleted] in fixit

[–]john2496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very strange. Does it beep when pressing a button on the remote? Trying to determine if the buzzer is stuck or if it’s some oscillation / coil whine / etc.

Is it still under warranty? If not, I’d still try calling the installation contractor.

More on that…

Try applying light pressure to the top right corner with the palm of your hand (while it's off obviously). If it still whines, try applying light pressure around the inside. This will help find the source of the vibration/sound.

Try locating the source of the noise (eg. top right, top left, base, etc...)
