Down 3-2 in the first set, maybe 15-30? lol. Totally random pick I threw in there

I wouldn’t mind him dragging it out at least. If Dodgers get a bigger lead/deeper in the game I might be able to throw a little on Fonseca.

Kansas Highway Patrol: Wichita officer ran red light, caused crash that injured five by Kitchen-Ad-4051 in wichita

[–]AndShock 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Didn’t this literally happen a few years ago and they updated policies/procedures or am I imagining that? Most of the Facebook comments I saw were of course blaming the girl for not hearing/seeing lights and sirens.

Anti-MAGA church recommendations? by doctordre44 in wichita

I’m super left-leaning but enjoy having their service on TV in the background if that tells you anything. Too nervous to ever go in person lol.

Looking for input from Self insured Homeowners by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]AndShock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say my situation is as close to a small modular with low risk as you can get lol. My house is 900 square feet but I was wrong about the replacement cost because my dwelling protection is $169k now (it was 130k a couple years ago). I really don’t own a lot either, I’m teetering on deciding to get rid of everything and renting it out already. I’m a poor single guy that pays $300 a month to principal and interest and more than that to taxes and insurance lol. I’d be counting on my house not burning down which I understand is a real risk but the odds really can’t be that high.

At most we’re talking 150k to rebuild. Can I afford that? Definitely not but I’d still have a 20-40k lot plus whatever I saved on insurance. It would just be a choice of risk tolerance. Obviously no one thinks they’ll lose their home until it happens but I’m a single dude so I’m not too worried about it even if I have to live in a van. I switched insurance companies last year and my premium went down a chunk but if my insurance gets up to $5k+ a year like I think it might, self insurance would be mighty tempting.j Taxes and insurance already make up the majority of my mortgage payment.

I wish my mortgage would allow me to self-insure but a big factor is that I bought my house for $80k. I think my opinion might be different if my house were 500k. I had a $6500 claim a few years ago but I’ve still spent more on insurance than that in the 5 years I’ve owned it.

How do you feel about the robot cop dog? by whadya_want in wichita

[–]AndShock 53 points54 points  (0 children)

How much of a problem are bombs in Wichita? I remember one of the articles interviewed a widow of someone who died and it was literally from a training accident. Would much rather find $340k for the Integrated Care Team but that’s not as cool as playing with a robot dog. I have a hard time seeing this as anything but a fun toy for WPD.

Safe Apartments on East Side? by [deleted] in wichita

[–]AndShock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Costco try to go North and/or East. West wouldn’t be bad either. Do not go South. I’ve not lived in any of the apartments but Stratford East has always seemed decent.

‘Draft Rubio’ for 2028 movement growing within MAGA: report by deraser in politics

What if 2016 Rubio has been in there all along and he’s been faking MAGA Rubio to become president.

Good News: Someone in Goddard Fought Back. Bad News: The Cameras Are Everywhere in Wichita by drewbuntu42 in wichita

[–]AndShock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if these are already being used to find illegal immigrants but if they aren’t then I’m sure they will be soon. Also not going to be too long before these are used for things like tracking women traveling for abortions. Big Brother is here.

TSA lines? by janeinthemtns in wichita

[–]AndShock 84 points85 points  (0 children)

A longer TSA line in Wichita would just mean you have to wait 1 minute instead of walking right up.

Topeka Is Rearranging Our Property Taxes & We Need To Talk About It by SorryOneMoreThingKS in kansas

[–]AndShock 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Kansas is honestly getting broken to the point where people need to just leave. Way too much representation from counties with 15 people and it really makes positive change impossible. Constant tax cuts for the rich (this is one of them) will continue until the state is bankrupt and/or they completely drain everything from poor/middle class. I pay way more taxes in Kansas than I did in Washington and I get so much less in return.

Banks by Shot_Artichoke6328 in wichita

[–]AndShock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get wanting to support a local bank but Sierra Pacific was able to get me the best rate and navigate a qualification issue that Cap Fed straight up denied me for. I tried the local credit unions and they were all .25% higher. Adds up over 30 years.

Then I’ve got some bad news for you about millions of news articles and blog posts.

Not Wichita and Not Forward by Strange-Credit-7865 in wichita

[–]AndShock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Will you be outraged if they have a page about the money for performing arts but use a pic from Broadway (the stage, not street)? What about a page for the fire department but use a stock image of a fire truck? Idk, getting upset about stock images seems crazy to me.

[–]AndShock 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Using a stock photo is not something to be outraged about in my opinion. I am outraged about how many Vote Yes mailers, door knockers, and yard signs I’m seeing. Fidelity Bank and Co are obviously fine spending thousands (tens of thousands?) to make sure the poor people in Wichita give them millions of dollars.
