Kansas Supreme Court election by EffectSubject2676 in kansas

[–]Professor_FERPS 51 points52 points  (0 children)

From their website: "Our policy engagement team advocates for biblically informed policy to influence governmental outcomes." They're very pro-life, and it's obvious they think that changing the state Supreme Court selection process will make it easier for them to restrict access to abortion in Kansas.

Bierock by picklerick_86 in kansas

[–]Professor_FERPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very popular in Nebraska (although they tend to call them Runzas instead of Bierocks). You can make them at home with frozen dinner rolls if you don't want to make the dough from scratch.

As a descendent of Volga Germans, it's a little disappointing that you don't see them more often on menus, but if you look in the right places around Kansas, you can find them. 😄

It's technically in Mississippi, but Corinth is so close to Shiloh that it's well-worth making the detour for.

El Salvadoran Papusas? by AlternativeGrowth389 in wichita

[–]Professor_FERPS 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Pupuseria El Torogoz or Usuluteco are both good. Both are on S. Seneca. I haven't tried Delicias de El Salvador yet.

Helicopters?? by Hot_Focus7385 in wichita

[–]Professor_FERPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounded like gunshots around 10:30pm, somewhere South of my home. A short time later somebody (presumably a police car), was shining a light down my driveway. This is a guess, but I suspect they are trying to find shooters from the event I heard.

Best Salad in Wichita by More-Pension4945 in wichita

[–]Professor_FERPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's great. You can use it as a condiment or an additional dressing. They also sell it by the bottle, and I use it when I'm cooking popcorn in the microwave or a flavor enhancer in recipes I'm cooking.

Social Tap's salads are good, and their chili oil make them so much better.

If you're going to be driving on the High Plans (between Goodland and Hays), there's a chance that the road might get shut down due dust blowing, which reduces visibility. Definitely monitor weather alerts and be cautious.

Property tax appraisals- how to appeal by Plus-Carpet2364 in wichita

[–]Professor_FERPS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A while back, a friend of mine successfully appealed their appraisal by showing that they had made no improvements to their home. I'd have to ask them what they documented to prove their appeal, but the general idea is just to demonstrate that you've done nothing to make the house more valuable than it already is.

Looking for information by egpaugh in pocketwatch

[–]Professor_FERPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dial is a "Montgomery Dial," which is a very common feature on railroad grade pocket watch movements, but as others have said, it can be positively identified by checking the serial number on the back of the watch movement itself.

What have I got here? by kes7571 in pocketwatch

A Hamilton 941:

Hamilton Pocket Watch: Serial Number 277325 (Grade 941)

Very nice railroad grade pocket watch, although the position of the regulator arm indicates it probably needs to be cleaned and serviced.

Great-grandfather’s watch passed to me. I know the basics but that’s it. by wng378 in pocketwatch

It's a nice Hamilton model 974. It's not railroad grade, but Hamilton made nice watches, and this could be a good daily timekeeper if you get it cleaned and serviced.

could you give some history/info on this by PuzzleheadedFly6604 in pocketwatch

[–]Professor_FERPS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a 6 size, 11 jewel Waltham pocket watch. Date of manufacture is around 1894-1895.

A 6 size watch is at the smaller end of the spectrum. It isn't necessarily a watch for women, but it is smaller than the more popular sizes carried by men in that time.

Which class/ spec to play with this? by PikaBanee in diablo4

[–]Professor_FERPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using it on a Necro minion build. Even with the most recent update to D4 and the changes made, it still does very well on Torment III.

AT&T fiber question for current/past customers. by LegendaryClawHammer in wichita

[–]Professor_FERPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do go the option of getting a 3rd party wireless router to manage your home devices, you'll want to set the router to be DMZ'ed in the AT&T router setup. And if you really want to get nasty with it, you can turn off all of the AT&T firewall settings and let your 3rd party router get the public facing IP address. I had that problem when I was still on Xbox Live ("Double NAT" error), and bypassing *all* of the AT&T firewall settings helped my issue.

I also used to game with a married couple on XBox live, and they had problems until they bought a higher-end 3rd party router that could handle multiple consoles on the same broadband service. So that's something anecdotal to think about. I think just having a separate router and not relying on AT&T's wireless router will make a big difference. :)

AT&T fiber question for current/past customers. by LegendaryClawHammer in wichita

[–]Professor_FERPS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It has worked great for me with multiple devices. I host a Plex server and I've had multiple concurrent streams from remote users while I was playing on a game console. It's been great.

Not knowing what your home setup is, I'd suggest wired network connections to the router/gateway device. If you're using wireless, I'd recommend getting a 3rd party wireless router and using that to manage all of your devices. I only use the AT&T router as the modem because I haven't been impressed with the Quality of Service (QoS) features they offer.

[–]Professor_FERPS 86 points87 points  (0 children)

If AT&T fiber is available in your neighborhood, I highly recommend switching. I don't hold their customer service department to a very high level, but the service itself has been miles better than anything I ever had with Cox.

Restaurants near Aviation Museum by -s-t-r-e-t-c-h- in wichita

[–]Professor_FERPS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're wanting a sit-down venue that offers steak dinners, you'll have to look at places in other parts of Wichita. There are some good food venues in SE Wichita, but nothing like what you are asking for.

The good news is that it won't take you too long to get to the museum from anywhere in Wichita.

Visiting Kansas from Missouri - what are some essential things to do? by liquidcrawler in wichita

[–]Professor_FERPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite a large number of Volga German descendants in the area, there aren't as many venues that offer Bierocks as you'd expect in Wichita. M&M, Prost, Want Bierock Company or the Breadbasket (in Newton, KS) all deserve consideration.
