The Daily Rant Thread

True. Nothing much we could do.

It keeps curious eyes out and keeps "honest" theives out.
Anyone who wanted to get in was getting in. That is correct.
At least this didn't cost another $1500 for a new tent too!
(or a new convertible!)

I was about to say I never knew you had a jato. I was browsing ebay for one today. I opted for the scx10.3

I think @DavidB1126 's uncle just made up that story, and hid all that stuff, just so David would quit nagging him to go racing.

Seriously that sucks, we were robbed once and they got a lot, the worst part was dealing with the insurance.

They were probably wearing a hoodie, so cameras won't help much. I highly recommend this security system! It's guaranteed to instantly rehabilitate all dirtbags thieves.

I teccomend a wired system. Years ago I wondered why people never used a jammer to block the signal....... I saw it on the news a few weeks ago.

My uncle just got stuff stolen. He has no cameras so we don't know who. Someone got in his shed, and portable garage. Stole a 3 ton jack, wrench and socket sets and a bunch of electric/ air tools.

Man.

Hopefully the car they are working on falls off the stands. Maybe look at the garage sensors that buzz when an object moves through? Then your uncle can pass the shots like a bar full of liquor.

 

[DavidB1126]

Some of the air tools was grandpas and I know he engraved his initials and maybe his license number on it so we are trying to figure out the number and try to find some of the tools atleast.

Where can you get a "just wired" cctv system?
It seems like when I looked last time, sure, I can wire them but they were ALL WIFI so China can watch my house for me too I guess???

I imagine there are 8 trillion pawn shops around but might be a thought to check a few.

I'm at work and there's a mosquito in the warehouse after me. this is the third week. damn thing bit me 2 weeks ago, so far that's the only bite. I'm covered in way to much insect repellant and it's still coming at me like a spider monkey hopped up on mountain dew. been trying to kill it, but can't catch the damn thing. this is annoying AF to say the least.

edit. been bit twice now, damn thing just got me on the back of my right hand

I had that a couple of weeks ago when we moved into our new building. Got bit 5 times, killed three of the buggers and all of them were full of my blood. The worst one was the bite on my wrist that my watchband kept rubbing against.

We use a bug zapper like a tennis racket. Its got metal mesh and zaps em good!
I got rid of the 2 AA batteries and put in a 12000mah 3s pack though!

That death zap is extremely satisfying!

Most of my life, I've been a mosquito magnet. Which was kind of a good thing, since it helped keep them off my kids, most of the time, when they were with me. However, something has changed in my body's chemistry in the past 5 years or so. I don't get bitten much anymore.

That's because they can sense pure evil.

Meh, what's the difference. They're already able to watch us through satellites and "weather balloons ".

 

[CertifiedMike]

Especially when our trillion dollar national air defense systems can't seem to spot said "weather balloons".
When they were spotted, one was shot down and mysteriously "lost", another wasn't shot down until after it had flown over the country and sucessfully completed any data collection mission it had been sent on.
Its almost as if someone in our government, possibly right near the top, has some sort of deal going with China.
Now I would go ahead and test this theory if there wasn't a Biden, errrr... national shortage thats caused every camera price to triple in the last 4 years.
I'd go out and try to find a better paying job but they have been taken by Biden supporters, errrr.... illegal foreigners who will now do the job for half the price.
I think that was my "daily rant"

Hmm.... I'm fairly certain my evilness has not changed at all

Hey, @DavidB1126 am I any more of less evil these days, do you feel?

No change I see.

I didn't think so but I went outside to check and saw this guy just sort of standing at the end of my driveway, smiling...

Oh, Evil definitely gets more powerful with age.

 

[DavidB1126]

Got some updates. Apparently they also tried to get into the basement. The basement door was was unlocked but chained down. And they stole some kind of battery charger. Assuming it's was someone that was in the car community or someone watching the house and knowing his schedule. It sucks

Evilness. Yes that's the word we will use.

I have a gun with a barrel the size of a tall midget so I'll take my chance at shooting it down if that fails well I've got a 3-inch dia model rocket motor ready to get used oh man the "weather balloon" thing both cracks me up and pisses me off at the same time lol
