The Daily Rant Thread

[HPIguy]

So, we most likely got taken for a few hundred bucks this weekend via a scam. We were trying to purchase a puppy, and stupidly trusted someone and sent a deposit. Since we bought our place, I've really, REALLY wanted a dog. I was a military kid, and always had to give my dogs away when we would move yet again. I was super excited to finally have our own home, and raise a dog from a puppy.

My wife is really down about it, she had already went and bought all the dog stuff, beds, collars, tags, etc. I'm more pissed off about it, but sad that human beings have fallen to this level of greed. I've basically hidden all of this from the wife, told her it's fine, I'm OK, we'll just get another dog, etc. But some days it's really hard to take the high ground, be a good Christian and just let it go. Today is one of those days. I've been a weird mix of a bit sad, and super pissed all day long.

Is anybody having problems with Youtube or is my laptop acting up?
I can't go to full screen unless I use the F key and I can't go back to default screen unless I use the ESC key.
I can't hit pause either.

Works fine on my phone.

Not sure what I did but it works now. Thanks Kev.

Justifiably so, but yeah, if it's done, it's done, and giving in to the darker emotions won't change that!

Hang in there buddy!

My little bengal cat almost burnt the house down. I kept smelling and seeing smoke and after running around the house trying to find the source in a panic, I noticed the toaster was on and it had a large piece of plastic in it. He must of put the plastic in the slot and “accidentally” pushed down on the button.

Wow. Smart cat! But he's a damn pyro

He’s way too smart for his own good lol. Thankfully the smoke went away quickly after tossing the toaster in the dumpster and opening the windows.

Sounds like you need some cat recipes... and a tasty sauce.

Decided to get to work on the Typhon. @Warby @332_RC or others do these look like 6s parts? Don't see any sway bar or battery tray and shock towers are all plastic. Might be 3s parts. I got until Thursday to return them. Or if my buddy wants them I'll keep them

Sounds like you need to cut him off from the food network. Next thing you know he'll be trying to Flambé some Meow Mix

That's all 3s stuff David. The receiver box holds the servo upside down. That shock tower, I believe, is a Big Rock 3s. Look at Jennys at the 3s Big Rock list of items & compare.

Get some Poptarts in the house and that wouldn't happen.

If Big Rock 3s parts share with the 3s Typhon i might keep and pass on to my buddy
