The Daily Rant Thread

Thanks for the reply.

I actually reached out to the manufacturer and they suggested the same thing. They also told me it was shipped out Sept 2021 which is when warranty started which means come this September it's done.

I reached out to the distributor to find out where it started life.

Well if it still has a warranty, I'd tell them you want those panels replaced.

I reached out to someone about buying something, they let me know it should be ready on the 18th, but it is now the 27th. I don't know if I should speak up or just wait a little longer, I don't want to be all annoying about it.

Has it shipped? If not I'd be asking wtf.

I just messaged a seller about 2 items purchased almost a minth ago. USPS scanned it and left it sitting on the shelf.
Seller just resent.

Another has been sitting at customs for 2 weeks. Seller offered to resend but I'll wait a bit longer before we look at replacement.

A 3rd seller has had me waiting on a used car fir almost a month.
If theu can't provide a tracking number asap, I'm getting my momey back.

Ok, we usually do our grocery shopping at the Walmart corner market. Well this morning Mrs. Doom wanted to go to the super walmart because she was looking for more selection. We went early to beat the crowds.

OMG! I never wanted to smack people in the back of the head so bad! Their personal shoppers are always annoying, but today took the cake. I am not kidding, they had to have more than fifty personal shoppers in the grocery section, you could barely see the shelves.

They are the dumbest of the dumb, I don't know if they can move any slower, and when you say excuse me to get to something they have been blocking for 5 minutes, they stare at you like your speaking mandarin or something.

I can't believe the gene pool has come down to this. We did run into two employees that were courteous, but those are not very good odds. Every other shopper was muttering about it too.

Were you wearing a Hawaiian shirt, sweat pants and flip flops??? (camo shorts and cowboy boots work in summer)
Thats the secret to getting Walmart employees to move out of your way... look like you have nothing to lose and that you are likely to flip out at any given moment...
They part like the Red Sea.

I actually missed a sale at out local store today. Its still open but the 'time window' is closed.
I hate shopping and do it early morning, weekdays if possible.

They usually make way for me when I have my service animal with me.

When I bring my dog places, he is the star of the show! Not clearing a path... attracting a crowd! Causing one...


An airhorn is usually effective an effective early morning shopping tool too tho.

Simple enough solution, turn yourself inside out.

Two records in a week… 18” of snowfall in 2 days and now it’s -49. The coldest day this month since 1956. 🫩

This summer better be extra warm or I’m gonna lose it. I’ve lived here since 2003 and this is the WORST winter I’ve ever experienced.

It's been a pretty good last couple days. Spent sometime on ebay...now I realize I don't have 1 of these to convert to brushless 3s...https://ebay.us/m/cK0vbu

My rant quickly turned into a rave. I was sitting in the shop building a servo mount and I needed to cut a piece of plastic that I was going to use.
I cut it with a pair of side cutters and zinnnnnnnngggg shoots across the room, hits one of my planes, bounces off that and landed exactly right in front of me where I was sitting. That my friends was the ultimate win.

Nice Sometimes we get lucky. I had an e-clip fly out of my needlenose one time and bounced off a wall 15' behind me and landed back on my bench. I had to hunt it down still thoigh because it ended up in my tool stand in a pocket. That was a miracle because had I lost it, I was ordering more.
