The Daily Rant Thread

My daily rant. I have 2 iv in me. Each one was a poke twice deal. I get waken up at 4am for blood tests. A few more pokes unsuccessful and I get the ill try later. I. Hate. Needles.
I get it, they use spade shovels for my Hemochromatosis.
 
And I just realized. WTH Horizon? TLR? Seriously?

Only selling shock shafts in packs of just 1 shaft? Unacceptable. I thought I would be getting a a full set for f/r but no, only 1 for each. For 11 bucks id expect 2 per pack... Like what AE does... I'm fed up now. Maybe it's because I don't read and double check bc I was too excited but... Man.

Should've ordered shafts from Klinik.

Thanks horizon for taking my money. 🤬
Now on I'm only ordering TLR parts if there is no aftermarket upgrade for it. Sorry horizon. You ruined the hobby, for good, they can't fix it now. Too late to be sorry.

The actual replacement shock shafts for my 5.0 AC were discontinued, but were sold in packs of 2. I got newer 22X ones which are the same size just TiNi coating, but only sold with 1 shaft per.

Scammer horizon scamming again.

Edit I lied about the discontinued shock shaft, those were sold in 1s too, but for only 6 bucks, id understand that, but 11 bucks for 1, heck to the no. No thanks. Not falling for Horizons scam ever again
Keep your eyes out.

I'd wish Jenny's RC would stock TLR models. But I don't think they ever will.

Welp at least I got some spare parts now, expensive spare parts. That are made cheaply...

They sell arms in pairs, why not shock shafts?
Sure, when you need a shock shaft, you usually only bend one at a time, sure ok I get the concept, but we like spare parts... And it's more of a scam bc they are overcharging for 1 shaft. If it were like 4 bucks I would have no issues. But it's 2025 anyone can sell at any price they want and people will still buy it.

I can ramble on for years but end of rant.

At this point I lost most of my faith in Horizon Hobbies in the racing aspect with TLR, PL, Trinity and AKA. But yet I still have to buy a product of theirs, even if I try to get away from them, bc I own 3 Horizon branded cars.

Maybe I'm just too over myself with spare parts. Idk.

My neighbor has the most obnoxiously loud backpack leaf blower in existence. It's worse than any big boy commercial chainsaw I've ever heard. :mad:
He started at 8:30 yesterday.
He's across the street, my bathroom is at the back of my house, and I could hear it while in the shower.

My neighbors hate my leaf blower. I'd prob feel badly if they didn't suck so much!
(well, 2 suck, 2 are pretty great.) 🤷‍♀️

I am thinking about bringing ALL my gas powered stuff out on the lawn for an end of summer concert actually. 🤔🎉🥂

I work nights 6:30pm-6:30am. I swear this last 2 weeks every neighbor has been hosting their own lawn equipment concerts. I get violently woken up at noon and can’t fall back asleep. Today it was a chainsaw just full tilt for like 2 hours. Can’t really be upset about it either since I’m the one running on vampire hours and they’re doing it at a reasonable time 🤣

Payback will come in stride when I come beebopping into the neighborhood on a Tuesday with a creeky noisy plow truck at midnight to plow my driveway. Every LED light bar and strobe light will be on of course… gotta be safe. 😏
 
I got one more rant for now: I’m tired of all this AI crap. It’s creepy, inaccurate, an excuse for laziness, and a waste of time. Just my honest opinion.
Amen to that!
 
Dear Horizon Hobby, I returned my unopened items and I know it's been delivered over a week ago. Gimmie my refund so I can stop worrying about it.
Yep
Money grabbers and scammers.
Exactly what I was getting on last night

I’ll give it until Monday and if still nothing happens I’ll report it to PayPal. I can understand it taking a few days after arrival, but over a week is ridiculous. I’ll be honest the games some companies play is really exhausting.

PHHHBT of COURSE I get the refund email as soon as I rant about it. Of course they didn’t refund the shipping even though I paid the return shipping out of my own pocket but whatever at least it’s done.

But wait, there's more! I feel the same way. Saw this as more harmful then useful.
