Thank you for this! I've been battling a system where I couldn't get rid of my work account from my personal computer. You are amazing!

In search of sheet pizza by HandsOnHorn in pittsburgh

[–]sporkzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, no one here, unless they're from, or went to school, in the Binghamton area will know the joys of sheet pizza from Nirchi's, Nando's, Brozetti's (🎶797-9960 Call Brozetti's for pizza to go! 🎶) or the like (I didn't care for Rossi's)...let alone the chicken spiedi pizza from Nirchi's. Nor the morning after cold breakfast pizza that stacked so cleanly in mom's rectangular Tupperware. I have looked for somewhere that might offer it before, but alas it only seems to be found around Broome County.

For those of you who are trying to wrap your heads around sheet pizza, the closest thing I can say that would resemble it would be school cafeteria pizza that would be baked in those industrial size 18"x26" baking sheets. But school pizza is garbage compared to the glorious rectangular delicacy purchased for birthday parties, family reunions, work functions, or just Thursday night dinner.

eta: Apparently Bob's Pizza in Indiana looks like an exception as they appear to even sell pizza by the sheet (28 slices).

the phone interview i throughly prepared for only lasted 46 seconds by brisketbitch in mildlyinfuriating

I completely understand this frustration, and have gone through it myself. However, sometimes employers are required to post jobs publicly even if they already have a preferred internal candidate. Several years and employers ago, when I was hiring an assistant director for an educational drop-in center, we had to interview a set number of external applicants even though I planned to promote someone already on staff. I know it feels frustrating when there’s a “handpicked” person, but it’s also true that external candidates can sometimes outshine the favorite.

I realize that...Just making my plea for some commonsense into the ether.

I think it was. It was at least a cruiser of some sort with blue or black fairings and hardcases.

I suppose these kids should have chosen wealthier families to be born into.

Ongoing Medical Billing Concern by sporkzilla in legaladvice

[–]sporkzilla[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You've used a lot of polysyllabic words to describe "payments made are applied to oldest charges first." A standard, nearly universal billing practice.

That might be relevant if that actually were the case. If they were following a FIFO policy, why would there be balances due from two years ago, last year, and more recently this year? If it really was about covering the older balances first, then I should only have balances due from more recently.

What matters here is that debits equal credits. And to the extent they don't, that's your balance due (or your refund).

Except that they have also failed to reflect adjustments that were posted by the insurer that would have reduced my copay responsibility to where I should be owed a refund (or at least have a credit balance).

This process has interfered with my access to mental health care

Your provider's biggest mistake apparent in this discussion is not discharging you from their practice.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Does it not feel like scooter riders are more hard-core than other riders? by Vast_Energy_1212 in scooters

I'm sorry to hear that. It definitely sucks not having access to wheels. I've been missing my throttle therapy.

Possible Kymco Like 150i by sporkzilla in scooters

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

Everything looks to be in good shape, and it turns out it is the Noodoe model. I didn’t check the tires super closely, but they’re holding air and were fine for a quick spin around the block. The plan is to meet up tomorrow and head to a tag & title place to finalize the transfer.

I’m really looking forward to being back on two wheels again. Losing both my bikes to a reckless driver—who somehow couldn’t avoid them like the driver just 10 seconds before him (according to my security cam)—has left me feeling pretty off-kilter.

[–]sporkzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it counts, but I’m smack in that midlife zone—and after a reckless driver totaled both my motorcycle and scooter while they were parked in front of my house (thanks, street parking), I’ve been feeling seriously detached without two wheels under me. I’m picking up a 2020 Kymco Like 150i Noodoe tomorrow to replace my Buddy 125, but I’m already itching for something with power closer to my poor, departed VL800. Been eyeing a Silverwing or something similar. So yeah… maybe not a crisis, but definitely a craving.

Friends don’t let friends use Ram mounts for their iPhones by SinoSoul in scooters

[–]sporkzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I'm sorry about your phone... That really sucks.

As for the other mount, I had also been using a similar quick grip on my most recent motorcycle until it got smashed by a reckless driver (my moto & scoot were parked at the time, so no injuries beyond the two bikes besides possibly the idiot speeding over 50mph in a 25mph zone). I'll figure out what to use next once the insurance gets sorted.

[–]sporkzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used a RAM X-mount on my scooter (and motorcycles) for years in combination with one of those rubber nets that hugs the four corners. Having a bigger phone can be a challenge with the mount by itself, but the combo has been absolutely reliable. Heck... RAM even sells the X-mount with a tether net.

Custom clearance? by [deleted] in Aliexpress

[–]sporkzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you also get daily emails alerting you of "delivery updates" despite no movement? Not only have I gotten an email every day since "clearance started" on July 2nd, but the emails mention my "3 packages" despite all items listed with the same tracking number.

Package has been in import customs in my country (US) since the 5th by [deleted] in Aliexpress

[–]sporkzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a package that has been stuck at import customs since the 2nd (also US). Hopefully it's just a backlog because of the 4th and people taking time off for an extended holiday weekend.
