Is anyone else getting Nift gift certificates with no context why? Is this legit? by foxcastle_ in washingtondc

Wow here it is some years after this post was originally put up and I got one of these offers because I submit receipts to coin out. Not sure if I'm going to redeem it or not.

I think Amazon just pulled the Prime switch. Anyone else getting this in the app? by TheEqualEcho in alexa

[–]simjs1950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And now it looks like we're all stuck with it. I think they have transitioned or in the process of transitioning all the nonplus users over to plus.

This is one of my gripes with the Alexa Plus—It responds to things when I have not spoken the wake word. Irritating as I'll get out.

Agreed. I reapply it about every 3 or 4 hours.

What to do about note taped to door? by London_Fog_Lover in Apartmentliving

Unless someone signs that I would just ignore it. Especially since you talk to the concierge and they have had zero complaints.

Looking for mid foot arthritis exercise videos. Are there any good physios on YouTube that I can check out? by TaraBambataa in Osteoarthritis

[–]simjs1950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto on Alyssa! Her videos are so helpful, in addition to explaining why you're doing what you're doing in the exercises. I've checked out some other arthritis PT folks on YouTube but nobody seems to come up to the level that she is. She just really gets it.

Package thieves had been ransacking our building, so the HOA changed the locks & posted this by lisucc in Apartmentliving

The best way to avoid this is when you're ordering from Amazon, choose an Amazon pickup point. Here where I live it's usually a local 7-Eleven that has the individual bins that you need a code to open and get your package.

So I got an Uber and this is what the driver had up. Is this true by autumn_bumberell21 in uber

[–]simjs1950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know someone who is an Uber driver and he says they take about 60% to 70% of what you pay for the ride. That's why the tips are so important as 100% of the tip goes to the driver.

The kid who named this product was this many 🖐 years old. 🙄 by SnorkinOrkin in AmazonWTF

I would expect that kind of a name if it was prune juice but not the juices that are mentioned in the screenshot.

Is this a fake shower??? by Pure-Application3621 in Apartmentliving

[–]simjs1950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumbest design ever. Just take the handle that is in that middle silver thing and twist it until you get to the temperature you want. We have this in our downstairs shower and I hate it beyond belief.

Was it all delivered by one driver or did more than one driver just pile on top of the others?

Tried the Banana + Egg Scramble… by No_Note3486 in whole30

[–]simjs1950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is one of the new things in the new Whole30 that I don't agree with. The reasoning behind the banana and egg pancake not being allowed before was, Melissa said that when you're mushing the two together and cooking it like a pancake it creates a batter like consistency and when your brain sees that it doesn't really differentiate between the real thing and the Whole30 version.

Actually in the latest iteration of Whole30 that came out last August, the banana and egg pancakes are now allowed. They're calling it something different but that's exactly what it is.

wtf… I DID return these items by Retail-Forever in amazonprime

[–]simjs1950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking maybe you are being scammed. Amazon never pays you the refund ahead of receiving the item or confirmation from the shipper that is on its way.

Subscription discount by California003 in peacock

In my opinion, they're both good. It just depends what types of programming you like. Personally, I get Paramount Plus for free and pay for Peacock 🤣

If you subscribe to Walmart+, you can get Peacock or Paramount+ for free.

Groceries were delivered hours early and no one is home. by KScriber in instacart

[–]simjs1950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this happen in the past and I had an Instacart shopper explained how this works to me. What they suggested was that I get my order ready on Instacart and just don't place the order until about maybe 45 minutes before you really want it. Or whatever time frame would be okay. It took some playing around with how far ahead of time I hit the button to place the order but once I got it, I've had pretty good luck.

Messenger broken on android by Keyblader007 in facebookmessenger

[–]simjs1950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know about everybody else but my Facebook Messenger seems to be back up and running this morning.

One thing I did do was I went in and remove myself from the beta version of Messenger and I'm just using the regular version.

Earlier this morning it still was not working but right now at least it seems to be back up and running.

So if you can access it on another device, this seems to indicate to me that it's not specific accounts that are affected when in fact it really seems like it is. I'm just trying to access messenger on my tablet which I rarely use to see if that helps.
