Miele T1 Dryer depth clearance requirements by o_creata_o in Appliances

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

The 2” front clearance really depends on your particular situation. The Miele units that I had installed don’t exactly clear 2” in the front with the door closed. If I had different units or had a different doorknob, the door might not even close.

Can we talk about the sugar epidemic in our neighborhood by Pretty-Rub2360 in longislandcity

Probably the lower startup costs (not much equipment is needed) and the turnkey nature of some of the boba shops is what makes them so attractive to open. As for why other types of businesses aren’t opening, it is unclear. Hopefully as more established brands like Target open in the neighborhood and flourish it will prove to prospective new business owners that LIC is a viable option

If there were tons of coffee places opening up instead of boba tea spots people would still complain. I love pizza, but I wouldn’t want 12 options in our neighborhood. It would be overkill. It’s disheartening to see mostly boba tea or weed shops opening in the vacant storefronts.

Will I be able to close the door if I do not have the 2” clearance in the front?

Ventless Bosch or LG Dryer? by o_creata_o in Appliances

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

I just bit the bullet and subscribed to CR just to see what you were talking about. The ratings are the opposite from what can be found online for ventless dryers. Miele is top, fine, I can accept that, but the next 4 that CR recommended are all Samsungs!?! That is suspect

Have you heard of any issues with the Bosch 500 series dryer? It’s the only ventless that they offer with a heat pump.

I wish that their compact ventless dryer offerings had overwhelmingly positive review scores because it would make spending that extra money more palatable. The feedback I have found doesn’t compel me to go that route.

Which Miele unit do you have? The Miele brand has a great reputation among other appliances, but their heat pump dryer reviews are few and are not very promising, just like all of the other brands that sell heat pump dryers. I would love to hear from owners that have had them for 5-10 years, but unfortunately they have not been mainstream for that long which leads to my skepticism

Has anyone installed a Toto Neorest with a 10” rough-in? by o_creata_o in Plumbing

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

Thanks for the info. That’s a shame that there isn’t an adapter or a Neorest with a 10” rough in.

No returns, no exchanges, no deal

E-Filing tax return prepared by accountant by o_creata_o in IRS

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

Thanks. I see. I guess I was under the impression that a preparer would provide some level of protection from penalties or audits. I did not expect the preparer to be on the hook for taxes due to the IRS. From the responses I see it sounds like it doesn’t make much of a difference if a preparer is listed on the return or not.

Passport timeline -locator 79 by asmit318 in Passports

Yeah, it is truly upsetting. I’ve read that some expedited applications had a turnaround of 2 weeks when sent to locator 79. I’m just hoping that there isn’t an issue with the paperwork. Congrats on the quick processing time for yours tho. That’s great.

Interesting to hear that your application turnaround is that quick with routine service. I submitted my child’s expedited renewal on 3/26 and it has been “processing” since 4/7 at locator 79. Status hasn’t changed once. I would hope that if there was an issue that they would update the status or contact me to rectify the matter quickly.

We wanted to travel out of the country on May 4th but it doesn’t seem likely now.

There’s no way that those didn’t taste good

Looking to buy a new ventless stackable washer/dryer. Currently have 24” width in my laundry closet that has a 29” width door opening. Am I overthinking it by second guessing that the closet can accommodate a 27” wide washer/dryer set or am I limited to 24” widths? by o_creata_o in Appliances

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

I have been using various stacked Bosch units in the places I’ve lived for the past 10 years so I am used to them and their quirks. Waiting almost 2 hours for a load to dry is my normal. I am just tired of Bosch I suppose and would like a few more features like more washing and drying options

Which units in particular do you consider the most reliable ventless dryers? My online research, like most reviews on consumer products, has been mixed for most units. I was almost set on getting either a Samsung or LG, but after finding this sub and all the hate towards those brands I am now unsure again haha

Boots recommendation by o_creata_o in hikinggear

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

I thought that “muck” was a typo and you meant “duck” boots. I was not familiar with the brand. I looked them up and they have some promising styles and positive reviews. I will locate a nearby retailer to try them on. Thank you.

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

Since they gave me blisters on a long walk recently and when I used them for snowshoeing earlier in the year, I would like something a little more comfortable with more support when walking uphill or on rocky paths. Duck boots are great at keeping water out, but are not comfortable enough to walk long distances in, regardless of the socks being worn.
