Anyone Else Want To Rant? Join In

And….while I’m at it, here’s sumpin’ that oughta raise the hairs on the back of one’s neck.
After all the bickering about the new Space Force, here’s a totally clueless woke female General who, well, I can’t explain it better than the video can.

Warning! If ya get ticked off easily and haven’t had your anti-depressants today, I’d advise against watching this)


And what’s with that derned hair? Is that mess SOP for military officers now?
Added to that wrinkled uniform, it looks like she just got out of bed.

One of Trump’s legacies turned into a Space Farce, not in any way to be confused with a Force.

 

I just saw someone say that "We let the stupid people have power, and now they have taken over." Apparently this "general" is an example of this principle.

 

What worries me is that it take Years to make the rank of General. How long has she been thusly afflicted by stupidity and how is it that no one on the boards has noticed it?
Of course, then we have Admiral Rachael Levine……the true new definition of a “rear” admiral.

 

The wrinkles are that she has literally outgrown her uniform. Not from muscles.

 

I've got a rant
Richard Karn needs to shove that Pocket Hose up his gazoo, or better still get honest work and stop messing up the limited TV we have left. Is it really necessary to run that crap for a couple hours just to sale a doggone water hose.

 

I was given one as a gift, and the hose leaked from both fittings out of the package. The hose was totally useless, but the little nozzle that came with works fine...as long as I can keep track of the little thing.

 

Made in China?

 

I'd rather pay more for something made here ... or do without.
So long as it meets my needs. And lets face it a hose is just a water source.

 

I have a rant ... These ads that just keep repeating the damn phone number .... the phone number .... the phone number .....

 

Not necessarily a "rant", but WHEN will folks realize that there is crime in many growing cities? Over this last weekend, we got messages about multiple vehicle break-ins in our apartment complex. Actually, I wouldn't call them "break-ins", when the owners leave their windows down, doors unlocked and valuables left in the vehicle overnight. Some residents don't even have a car alarm installed.
The complex buildings look nice from the outside, and most people would think "naw, no crime happens here", but they'd be extremely wrong.
As for us, we have our vehicle in an enclosed garage.

Since we've lived here (one month shy of 4 years), this is the third time this has happened.

 

Everything sold today in America is close to pure garbage. You take Lowes or Home Depot and buy a pressure washer chances are the internal is all plastic. Plastic poppet valves that make up the pressure. Water does not compress and I wonder who the genius was that thought "hey I'll use plastic components". The stuff is lucky to do one pressure washing before it is belly up. It's like a shell game and there are no parts to repair those cheap built pressure washers. Briggs was once the leader in small engines for home use but today they are garbage and will seize with a light coat of carbon on top of the piston. The cam gears are plastic and not pinned so in time they spin around and you have no compression. Take a look and the cam looks fine but there is no reference marks so you miss that and and scratch your head for a while. In the hurricane of 08 every Briggs that came to our shop on generators were torn down per Briggs instructions so their rep could take a look at the parts, now keep in mind all these engines were new and failed in the first use.

He turned down all the warranties of every last one of those engines. I wouldn't buy a Briggs for anything. Honda would honor all their warranties and did not require a paid dummy to inspect anything. Old stuff is the best stuff and worth repairing as long as you can find parts, you won't be disappointed. If I were shopping for a generator it would probably be a Honda. I saw countless generators with different names but they were all shipped from the Eastern Pacific because there were no generators left in this state to be bought. I was always checking the output voltage on the generators and found that most of those Eastern Pacific ones were just barely able to produce 95 volts AC. The quality generators were all putting out 120 to 125. When you shop for a generator take a cheap voltage meter and check the output before you output any cash. I finally figured out those foreign generators were not actually built for our power standards and the windings were a lot different than our local built internals. People spent a lot of money to run a fan or a light bulb.

A little Honda portable does a good job for it's size, those suitcase designed Honda s are good for short runs. If you live rural and have it stored where the mice and rats can get to it they will chew the modules wires completely in half. The rodents love anything that has silicone insulation on the wiring.

 

It is 1am and I just got off chat with Geico chat line because they screwed up in April when I canceled my insurance and had Progressive take over. They ignored the original notification from Progressive about effective date etc etc and I get a blocking letter from my DMV saying my license and tag is blocked because my insurance was canceled. Geico knew they screwed up because they went back and found the original notification from Progressive and that nullifies the state threatening me with the block and a fine of 125 dollars. Geico charged me 20 dollars to fix it and change the date of cancellation to be in effect the correct date, which was the 27th of April same day I paid the first payment to Progressive. So it cost me the 20 dollars but only because that would have been owed on the last payment. They will send the corrected cancellation date to the DMV and that should take care of that block. My state is so poor in response time it took four days to hear from them when I told them all this and I did not owe them anything, but they took offense I guess and said I owed the 125 dollars. I would ride a bicycle the rest of my life before paying them 125 dollars. Seriously I'm so tired of being screwed by every government agency in the USA. Sometimes I feel like Michael Douglas in his movie Falling Down

She might be the one that left that crack in the white house, just looking at her eyes of course.
