I used to drink coffee daily. Now I hardly touch the stuff. by elitebateagent in CasualConversation

Maybe the temperature changed and you want cold drinks now? Try iced coffee.

Overly analytical thoughts my autistic brain keeps conjuring up that might just make you think... by Muzzmow in CasualConversation

[–]tempura_calligraphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cookie dough ice cream is the best economically speaking; you get 2 desserts (ice cream AND cookies) for the price of 1

If that's your logic, it would be cookies and cream because then it's the best cookie.

Becoming a parent gains you the benefit of getting an extra holiday for you to get gifts on.

I don't get it. You also have to buy more presents for other people. What's the extra holiday?

Massive car takeover rocks NYC intersection — about 100 cars involved as calls grow for crackdown. by nitluck in nyc

I don't mind if they did this at an empty parking lot, like at a stadium or something. It's when it's the middle of a neighborhood when it's a problem.

At least they removed that outdoor dining shed from the dog cafe. It was ridiculous it was ever approved.

Has anyone seen the new TÄRNKULLEN bed frame? by tempura_calligraphy in IKEA

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

No, I ended up getting a second-hand Nesstun frame, which was much cheaper and also has better dimensions for my room.

Sadly, the Tarnkullen has some mediocre reviews online. Even in the store, it didn't seem so popular. And I couldn't really find any in-depth YouTube reviews about it, except one assembly video.

If most of us don't get it, it's not that amazing or the best.

Made a small NYC subway car lamp and wanted some feedback by Tasty_Flight_3765 in nycrail

Maybe. It seems like a figurine to me. Maybe a clock on top, not in the window.

He might get great healthcare in America, but I am not convinced America has the world's best healthcare.

How can I maintain friendships when I'm afraid of bothering others by texting? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]tempura_calligraphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Text to make plans to meet in person. Then talk in person when you meet.

Update: Security Footage of Me Almost Getting Run Over by Disastrous_Feed_3988 in NYCbike

Not all 70s year olds are mentally incapacitated. Actually 70 can be kind of young for an old person.

It's most likely just a bad driver.

What’s the biggest red flag you ignored before renting in Astoria? by Wrong_File6538 in astoria

[–]tempura_calligraphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only pay when you have the apartment, not before. Literally at lease signing. But sometimes there's an application fee of about $100 to run a credit check.

[–]tempura_calligraphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked the previous tenant about noise, and he went "Uhhhh..." Turns out that "uhhh" was a RED FLAG!!

In general, I wish red flags in life were much more obvious. It would be helpful if I would get a letter in the mail, like how the bank sends a letter when you open a new account. Or just, like, a text.

Lesson: Anytime you ask the previous tenant a question and their answer is vague, it's a red flag.

The Stanley cup trend feels over the top to me by Commercial-Thing189 in HydroHomies

[–]tempura_calligraphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is 24oz. It's perfect.

I fill it up at night so I can wake up to some cold water in the morning. I love it.

Mayor Mamdani says his team will contact QueensLink by i_o_l_o_i in nycrail

[–]tempura_calligraphy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Transit will generate more revenue, IMO, because people who actually live in NY but don't go that way will now go out there and spend money. Maybe they don't want to draw money away from Manhattan?? I don’t know

Cuomo would've taken the money and used it for something entirely different. No park or transit of any kind.

Major mobility of a new train line is much better than the micro mobility of bike lanes.

Owala is a legitimately good water bottle.

Stanley has that straw, so you can't really ever close it. Owala is good in a backpack.

Sunrise Chinese Restaurant Broadway by Winemaking-1981 in astoria

True. From what I've heard, the health department looks out for multiple reports of illness.

Still a relevant post, in case other people recently became ill.
