.....how in the hell did that happen?

 

[9x19]

holy crap. usually the first open is a little hard cause the lid is pretty dang tight. if the glass is broken, how in the hell did that happen? iv only been able to do that with a pair of channel locks and bench vice!

Nothing is fool-proof, given a sufficiently talented fool.

YES!


I ordered 62 bottles of testors paint from them. It came packaged in 4 plastic bags, about 15–16 bottles per bag. I received two bags that had spilled/broken paint bottles, and they gave me a really hard time about returning the order. They wanted me to pick through it all and clean up the bottles enough to see what colors needed to be replaced so they could send me just those bottles. I told them that I would send all the bottles back, and they could pick through it and do whatever, and then they could just resend the whole order back to me. Well, they wouldn't do that, so I told them that I just wanted to return the whole order for a refund then, since I was still well within the return period. I had to argue with them a couple different times over the course of about 24 hours to finally get a return shipping label from them, so I can send back the whole order. Never buying anything from them again.

Oh and the store wouldnt let me return the order either since I bought it from their website

a little road rage at idiot drivers on my commute home today.
no joke i got stuck behind some idiot women in a white SUV doing 30mph in a 45 zone (traffic doing 50 cause CA) pulling up to red lights she was swerving to the right to block the right turn lane (a growing problem around here). finally goes to make a right turn into a neighborhood and is half in the right turn lane/bike lane and half in the right lane. if i hadn't floored it, borderline cut off a car in the left lane to swerve around her i would have gotten stuck at the light.

i get a half mile up the street and there's a public works bucket truck in the right lane. speed limit still 45 so he's moving along at a solid 37, so everyone is going around him. i see what's going on well in advance and jump into the left lane I'm doing 47ish mph and the guy that had been in front of me signals and I'm like ok dude ether make it fast or wait your turn, he made it fast. no complaints there. the a-hole in font of him on the other hand, another SUV driven by a freaking women. apparently didn't like it. brake checked him! so now were all over the brakes. now doing 25mph and getting past by the bucket truck we were going around. eventually the stupidity ceases and we speed back up to 45 just before the speed limit changes to 35. me and the guy in front of me change back to the right lane and do about 35 - 38mph, clown in the SUV is now doing like 30 in the left lane.

drivers licenses need to be harder to get and we need to stop letting women drive SUV's.

Sounds like our daily commutes are similar. Nobody gives a poop about anyone else any more. I wanna know what's up with the chumps who leave 3 car lengths in front of them at a red light. All they do is block traffic from being able to get into the turn lanes. Get three or four of these nimrods in a lane and it backs up pretty quick.

well we are both in california so...
and don't even get me started on those assclowns. people are starting to get pissed off about that and iv seen more than one person see the opening and slip into it to get a car length ahead. i watched a guy drive down the bike lane for about 4 car lengths and then slip into one. so we have stuff like that to look forward to. my daily is a Tacoma so if iv got the room i just jump curbs and go around those people. iv gone by more than one of those idiots with my drivers side tires up on the median.

Right side bias then.

At least when I'm on nightshift, more of you are active.

I am up odd hours. Sleep a few hours here and there. This place can get lonely in the wee hours here in the US.

Just finished eating breaky. Bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich

We are having a mix grill tonight. Pork belly fingers, lamb french cutlets, butterflied chicken thighs, mushrooms, mash potatoe and veg. I'm looking forward to it as I didn't have lunch.

I woke up this morning to an email that said the jug of apple juice I bought the other day may contain arsenic. What is this world coming to when we can't even buy fruit juice without the risk of death? Oh well. I drank half of it already, so I must be immune by now.

Don't all apple's contain small amounts of arsenic?

Lol, probably true. Most come from China these days, so it's hard to say what's in the apples.

Apples, pears, grapes etc do contain very small amounts of arsenic.
