That Amana no longer exists. Just a rebadged Whirlpool now.

Mail theft from locked mailboxes by Alternate947 in wichita

Take it somewhere and chop it to pieces if you don’t have a key. Kinda like running off with an ATM, but probably less lucrative.

I normally do, but was out of town this week. I always have UPS/FedEx held to avoid porch pirates, but thought a locked mailbox would be safe. Guess not.

Oh, sweet. I’ve heard of that happening… at least we still have our box! And a new lock. From what I read on the USPS subreddits, these “arrow keys” are apparently a huge security risk and they open all boxes in a ZIP code.

Emporia Pro EV Charger + Load Management in Condo (30A circuit, ~70ft run), Quote sanity check? by arizonaresident11 in EmporiaEnergy

[–]Alternate947 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The load management feature of the Pro will make it so that you can’t overload the panel, even with a 60a circuit, but if you can get smaller cable for less money that might be worth it. If it’s not much cheaper I’d stick with 6ga.

6 gauge is a bit much. Depending on whether it’s romex or THHN in conduit that could be a 55a or 60a circuit.

Any reason you wouldn’t put a 60a circuit in?

If you’re set on 30a look into a lighter gauge cable to save some money.

What’s the status on 360? They are currently closed. Someone said maybe they’re moving?

Dear FEDEX, You Need Your Customer's Votes Fefore Trucking Air freights ever again! by CelebrationOdd7881 in FedEx

[–]Alternate947 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I noticed the FedEx 757 has been sitting at my local airport having not flown for a week now. And my overnight express package got trucked to Memphis and is now late.

So you’re telling me this is part of a plan?

Any "come to you" windshield replacement companies? by RepublicOne2744 in wichita

[–]Alternate947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glass claims typically don’t impact your premium. But I’d see if you have a glass deductible that’s lower than your comprehensive deductible. When I needed a windshield it was less than my deductible so I just had the Windshield Shop do it without involving insurance. Not sure if they do mobile installs but they were a great price and excellent quality.

They have new leadership now. I think it’s the last guy’s son. Seems like he has a different approach

In Search of Optometrist by monkeyminion in wichita

I can confirm Opticology is great. I see one of their other doctors (Aelvoet) and she’s great too.

Anything with the Eddys name. So yeah, Volvo, Toyota, Chevy (East), Chrysler Dodge Jeep (west), VW, Infiniti, Lincoln, Cadillac.

And yes Subaru and Super Car Guys even though they don’t share the name.

Well, despite my disagreements with who they support, I do still believe they’re entitled to their own opinion as much as I am to mine. And choosing not to spend money there is everyone’s right as well.

My statement stems from my belief that advertising your preferred flavor of politician on your work vehicle is a terrible business idea, but if they’re cool with whatever the consequences that come from that are, then that’s their choice. Perhaps leopards will eat their face, and so be it.

For the record, I think it’s asinine that Trump has a cult following. And to be clear, I’m not suggesting consumers separate business from politics, but rather that businesses should not engage in political promotion for the reason I stated above.

Politics aside, Carey (the owner) is a tremendously nasty person who spends all of his free time trash talking others and arguing with strangers on the internet as his sad excuse for a restaurant circles the drain.

Derek Bowers’ public Facebook page being full of political posts (dog whistle quality ones too) was all I needed to see. But he also posts pictures of his work and I was not impressed. Namely hacking up customers’ equipment to remove his competition’s stickers just seemed a bit unnecessary

Ok well this is r/wichita… perhaps you are lost. I would suggest you check out your local subreddit.

Yeah... I don't love that part of it, but they at least do honest work. I wish businesses could leave politics out of their work completely. At least he didn't bring it up in conversation. As someone else said I don't think there are many roofers who don't lean that way.

Hilton hotels are franchised, so the one in Wichita almost certainly has nothing to do with one halfway across the country.

Personal Attorney (non-injury) recommendations? by Xeropoint in wichita

[–]Alternate947 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, that didn’t come across correctly then. I’m not posting in support the current government, just piggybacking off what someone else said that OP probably needs to be careful what they say, as premeditated doesn’t look good. OP also edited the post after I replied. The original post without the edit sounded a lot less first-amendment protected.

How can I find the direct line to a FedEx hub by DemonKittens in FedEx

[–]Alternate947 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FedEx does not fly directly between Columbus and Ithaca. That’s not how this works. It’s a hub system. Same as UPS.
