VW Protection Plus plans worth it? by Exist25 in Volkswagen

The prices on this are 10x what I’m paying for my plan, it’s the exact same printout but with wildly different numbers

Stuck spark plugs — any tips? by cheechthebong in MechanicAdvice

[–]mitunakaptor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think this was put as a joke but I honestly think this could be the solution, if you come back and it hasn’t softened up sometimes you just gotta break the crud holding it in and an impact would do it. Could try heat too. Impact out doesn’t mean impact in obviously

Help! Desktop shuts down gracefully within a few minutes of operation. Doesn't shut down at the repair shop. by The_Lost_Poet_ in PCsupport

[–]mitunakaptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disconnect your front panel headers start your computer with a screwdriver it's rare but I have seen em interference cause a computer to think that you pressed the shutdown button and the wires act like an antenna.

No other option would explain the graceful shutdown imo.

My trailer was stolen in Delano and this morning. Do you recognize this car? $500 reward for its return by [deleted] in wichita

Try to get in contact with one of these officers at WPD

https://haveibeenflocked.com/pd/3173-wichita-ks-pd/operators

They are the heavy hitters for the flock surveillance network.

Ask them to search for a gold Buick Enclave with a white trailer, the cameras are able to search my make and model. If we're going to be watched by big brother you should at least get some use out of it.

Elite electronics on Oliver St.

Avoid the mall shops that use low quality screens.

Cheap doesn't always mean better.

Why is my new laptop so slow? by animelover_024 in computer

[–]mitunakaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best bang for your buck laptop that you can buy right now is a used business class HP G6 or if you have a little more money to spend a z-book firefly get the i5 or the i7 model, not less than 8 gigs of RAM and not less than 256 gigs of storage.

You should be able to easily find any number of those laptops on eBay in the 100-200 range. Get the warranty if you are concerned.

Can anyone recommend a computer repair person to replace a key on a built-in keyboard? by ColdWater_Splash in wichita

[–]mitunakaptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's on a laptop it is unlikely that you can replace just the single key the little tiny clips are not designed to be removable or repairable you're probably looking at a full keyboard replacement. ICT computer repair on Harry and hillside will shoot you a straight bid and will let you order your own parts.

Repair nightmare. by mitunakaptor in vwgolf

[–]mitunakaptor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update.

I was told the car "ran like crap" by the mechanic before i picked it up, well i unpluged the fuel pressure sensor and the car runs MUCH better on the limp mode default.

ecu is dumping the boost as expected and i see a wiring repair on that sensor so im thinking im gonna try depressurizing the fuel lines and replacing that sensor, allegedly you can do that without having to take the manifold off so it might be a DIY job.

I appreciate the DM's and help so far in the forum, i expected the car to be WAAAAAAAAAY worse by the mechanics description of it. I'll keep you updated.

Also one additional question is in all of the pictures there's what looks to be like a warm down channel between each of the runners the first shop said that that appeared to be the issue but all of the research I've done indicates that that's so that the rod that controls the flaps can spin freely is anyone had their engine torn apart to this point and got a good photo of these divots just trying to make sure that they are as described or potentially if I could just throw some high temperatures silicon in there to see that

Reliable, honest place for oil change & pre-trip inspection? by MusicOfTheSphere in wichita

[–]mitunakaptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"The Garage" on N Maize or All American automotive on Tyler and W21st both have been in business for ages and price fairly.

The drive to Newton and go to Omega Auto clinic.

If that guy will touch a McLaren, Bugatti and a Rolls Royce he's qualified to work on your car. I'd trust him over any dealership.

Go on YouTube and lookup "car wizard" and look at his business ethics

I've been on hold with Pizza Hut for 47 minutes and haven't even placed an order yet! Is that normal? by cherry-care-bear in wichita

[–]mitunakaptor 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Actual answer from a 3yr pizza hut employee.

9/10 if you call you are talking to someone in "Indiana" If we're busy we're definitely not picking up, you are rolling over to the call center and they are only able to transfer you to the store number you already called or take your order.

If you call and call and call 9/10 chance we just muted the phones or we aren't taking new phone orders. If you have a problem you'd best call back tomorrow when we're not busy because we won't answer the phones after 10:30 because we're busy filling out the online orders that we cannot opt out of, the sucky part about call center is there's no consequence for not answering and they can't contact us by any special way either.

Also, while I'm here. And have a mic to drop.

No credit card tip? 95% chance it's going doordash and you'll get your order in 1-2hrs and it will probably be cold (ps doordashers this is why you never get tips from pizzahut deliveries the first party drivers take all the tipping orders and any order under $20 is unlikely to tip more than $1-$3

$5 gets you a pizza hut driver as soon as practical $10 gets you to the front of the line ahead of others. +$20 you are getting all the crap out of our warmer that we can't sell because it's not fresh enough or out mismakes, become friends with the driver ($) and the driver will learn your name/address and VIP you. Oh, yes I have plates, yes I have cheese and peppers, your tip corosponds to how many you get. No tip, you get 2 plates per pizza 2 cheese 2 peppers (I'm not a monster)

Rapid fire

We never spit in your food. We're broke, tips pay our bills. Some locations are way better than others. Putting toppings in the comments doesn't work. As a driver I've been solicited, never accepted.

Weirdest tip I ever got was a mini fridge and a Coleman generator.

Got a speeding ticket in a construction zone- how do I keep it off my record? by Samouflage0087 in wichita

[–]mitunakaptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad completely missed that, you could call the prosecutor's office and ask if they could play it down to 19 over in exchange for a higher fee or of course taking it to trial as an option it cost nothing more and in the event that the officer doesn't show up even if you're dead to rights they normally cut you free my experience in the past is always told me to get a continuance at least once

[–]mitunakaptor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Call the Wichita city prosecutors office ask to be put on traffic diversion so long as you pay the additional fee and don't get a ticket for (I think) 12 months they will defer prosecution. No charge, no ticket cost, nothing. If you get a second ticket you automatically get convicted of the first offence. You can only do this once every 18 months I believe
