The Daily Rant Thread

[Xraycer]

The ice was VERY dangerous because no one invented salt or sand yet! In the rain! And it was HOT!!! and HUMID too!!! Sweated ALL day in that snow!
It was HELL in Alaska, Texas!
Kids will NEVER know!

What year was rain invented?

I very rarely check out this thread-but didn’t want y’all thinkin’ the USPS was any better over here in my neck of the woods… This is absolutely consistent as well…

They're obviously trying to avoid all the bad neighborhoods.

What year was rain invented?

After rocks but before snow. That was ROUGH year!
Remember a story about raining for 40 days and 40 nights? It did that all in ONE night!
I had to surf to school on 400' tall waves one year, each way! And I was grateful for it too! Some kids only had a scuba mask, no snorkles! They weren't invented yet either!

On a separate note...
The ppl who owned this house prior must have also owned a glass company or stored ALL the windows EVER beside our garage.
One day they ALL broke!
Like any wise home owner in the woods in Maine would do, rather than pick it up, the glass was left as shiny garden decoration!
Until today.
If my neighbors had ANY doubts before... the Certified home earned its name today!!!
After boxing up a LOT of big sharfs of glass, old Certified Mike brought the shop vac out to vacuum the lawn.
Who's cooler than me?

Anyone else noticed that now if you have a USPS tracking number, & have used text tracking updates on the page before, now it's disabled?

I haven't ordered anything in a while but next time I do I'll look to see

I've tried the last 4 different tracking numbers I've wanted to track using the text updates & it won't enter. I've also tried two different web browsers on my phone & laptop. Nada

Yup. I can check the boxes and put my phone number in, but nothing happens.

Oh well. Least it's not just me. I went back to selling on ebay again & it'd be nice to track my outgoing w/o manually doing it over & over. I got one going out tomorrow.

Lost my good vernier's.

Can't find them.
I have a feeling I left them in the hardware store a while back.
Damn it. Hating myself for losing them as they were a gift.

How did you get the animated profile picture?

Ya never know. I worked retail, and we had a box in the office of random stuff found in the store. Keys mostly.

Guess so.

I'm only guessing that's where i lost them too.

Made a gif, then uploaded that.

Have ya really looked through whatever vehicle you drove there? You know how easily they could be hidden by a seat bracket.

Not thoroughly. Your right though.

I just went to the store and asked. She said, "You're in luck" as she thought she'd previously seen some in the lost and found draw, but when she looked they weren't there.

A worker may have claimed them already.

Left them my details.

Welp here we go again 2 out of 4 cars at the shop. Traverse back at the shop. It's overheating. Noting that the Traverse and Malibu share the same engine.

Wth GM

Well edit, not the same direct engine. 3.6 V6 LY7 vs LLT.

The Malibu I talked about the other week. Traverse was overheating on my mom to and from work yesterday and put it to the shop yesterday. Although it wasn't smoking and coolant level was at full. The Malibu on the other hand was smoking and they found a leak near head gasket cyl4 and mentioned about bringing it to a machine shop. Guessing on that the head might be cracked slightly. Makes sense at it was overheating but what was the route cause to that .

This is why I've been only buying Japanese cars for the past 3 decades. With the exception of a used Wrangler back in the late 90's. That thing broke down a few times as well in the short 1.5 years I owned it.
