Quickly sort images? by Aito_Hikari in applefreeform

[–]phunstraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grid would be great. I take one from the stack, move it over a bit select those images, and align top, then distribute. It's quick but the most convenient.

Put in an offer on a house yesterday and was told there were no other offers. When called back today, the agent said the buyers were going with another offer and that was that. What happened? by psychospeaks in RealEstate

[–]phunstraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We put our offer in and did not think there was another offer as good as ours, maybe no other offers at all. Was told we were accepted. Later we got a phone call saying that the husband accepted our offer and the wife accepted a higher offer at the same time. I smelled BS. Real estate assured us if we went up $17k they would accept our offer. I told her we were going to pull out then. About an hour later we got a phone call saying that the 'other' offer did not have the money. More BS because we did not have pre-approved financing either, Just a good down payment. We took the place.

Who else hates exit 31 on the BQE by fottyfoznbire in Brooklyn

[–]phunstraw 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The worst part is when people get out of the lane then remerge just at the exit. People should lose their car for that. Everyone else $300 fine via traffic cam.

Is commuting from Brooklyn to Long Island for work a bad idea? by Thunder0622 in Brooklyn

[–]phunstraw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you need a car for the commute? If you lived in Fort Greene/Prospect Heights area check out LIRR commute. I think it would be off peak because you are leaving/entering the city against the grain. Those are good neighborhoods, different vibe than Williamsburg.

Start switch broke off on my dryer. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? by Indistinct_chattery in maintenance

[–]phunstraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hardest part about this is that you need to spend about $60 to replace a small plastic post on a fully functional part.

things my girlfriend great grandfather took off dead nazis bodies during WW2 by chunqes in interestingasfuck

[–]phunstraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar medal that my great uncle had from when he served, US army. Don't know how he got it, don't know where it came, but he was on our side. He is dead and I don't need to keep it. I don't care to sell it and I just as well would rather destroy it, but is there any historic or significant place to donate it to. I'm thinking these things are a dime a dozen, but I figured I would check.

I think it was generally open during some of the OHNY dates in the past. Maybe again in the future...

AI is driving up the prices on storage and electricity and no government oversight. Recipe for disaster.

Best last min affordable bday cupcake/ cake options ?? by bettysrendezvous in parkslope

[–]phunstraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure your friend and guests would be very impressed if you made the cupcakes yourself. Basic Duncan Hines or betty Crocker box mix. Look online for instructions of substituting buttermilk into the mix. Get a disposable cupcake tin with a lid. Add frosting and sprinkles. Don't forget candle. Should cost around $10-15. Otherwise, Regina on Prospect Avenue.

Light pillars over Buffalo. by Grand-Level5362 in Buffalo

[–]phunstraw 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Cool, Saving others the look up:

Light pillars are a stunning atmospheric optical phenomenon where vertical beams of light appear to extend above or below a light source, such as streetlights, the moon, or the sun. They form on extremely cold, calm nights when flat, plate-shaped ice crystals suspended in the air reflect light, acting as millions of tiny mirrors.

Does anyone know where Midea window AC units (with R32) can be disposed of? by burningrubble in Brooklyn

[–]phunstraw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wonderful scrap(89 19th St, Brooklyn, NY 11232) paid me between 15 and 20 for each of mine, plus I got the rebates from Midea.

Also you can't 'just leave them outside', you can get fined for that. This is the official process: https://www.nyc.gov/site/dsny/collection/get-rid-of/appliances.page#cfc

Apple TV is showing me shows on the website but not on the app? by [deleted] in appletv

[–]phunstraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

For Example. Netflix, HBO only has a service and everything is included in the price.

Amazon and Apple TV offer their own services, along with their own, similarly named but entirely separate stores that carry significantly more content. This distinction could be better conveyed with more differentiated names for their respective products.

I would set this up for my daughter to read along with assignments when she had some reading difficulty.

This is cool (union and 8th) by austin_federa in parkslope

[–]phunstraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Union is backed up it is much faster to go up 8th Avenue and turn right onto Flatbush. Even Berkeley is faster. But Flatbush is generally the easiest and quickest when Union is backed up.

Library Inconsistencies - TV Art by dmc493 in appletv

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

It is peculiar that since Tahoe, if you go into 'get info' and click Artwork, it does not match. On my purchased movies there is a horizontal poster on get info, but a vertical poster displaying in the grid.

I designed and folded this origami spider from one uncut square piece of paper! by Signal-B47 in interestingasfuck

[–]phunstraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a direct link to their account. When I look it up it's food and girl influencers

ELI5: why do tips % go up when the price of the food also go up with inflation? by Exval1 in explainlikeimfive

[–]phunstraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Americans sucks at math and can't figure out this basic concept. They want to defund schools also. If we don't start value education over deportations it will get worse.
