My daily rant.

If these writers don’t end their strike they will be cutting into my fall tv viewing.
 
Bought a cheap mod 1.5 pinon from some seller on Amazon and it was a bust! First one came and would not fit on the motor shaft so I tried hogging it out with a round file but no joy… I contacted the seller and they kindly sent a new one which fits the same.. 🤬
Funny thing is the stock Losi pinon fits almost too loose on the shaft.. 🙄

Pic 1 first pinon I received, pic 2 new replacement pinon.

Ouch.

All those pharma commercial drive crazy, albeit it's a short trip for me. Right around the corner. They all dance around and make it look great, followed by "may cause anal leakage". 😲

You can't advertise booze, cigarettes or dirty websites on TV, why should big pharma get a break?
 
These UAW workers and what they are asking for.
47% increase in wages over the next few years.
32 hour work weeks and get paid for 40.
Geez
 
This started on the news thread about UAPs. But I figured it was more of a rant (for NASA) than news.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/tech...g-a-new-research-director/ar-AA1gJmD2#image=1
"The agency was initially hesitant to name the director for fear he would be harassed and threatened." Huh? Death threats for creating the term UAP or studying them? Why is this a concern, or maybe he's just a snowflake that likes the attention?

I had to look this up. UAP is a NASA's definition. Freaking NASA, where smart people work. I thought.

Is UAP a woke term for UFO, so we don't make the Space Aliens (as apposed to undocumented persons formerly known as ILLEGAL aliens) upset? Do Space Aliens now identify and I missed the memo. Now we can't call them unidentified. I made no assumptions about the gender or preferences nor do I care nor would I ever ask. What they do in the privacy of zero-gravity is none of my business.

Are they still Space Aliens, or are they Undocumented Intergalactic Visitors (UIV)? Hopefully I don't get any death threats for that.

Lets break this down, Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) are three terms that all say the same thing, WTF was that?
Unidentified: not having a known or established identity​
Anomalous: of uncertain nature or classification​
Phenomena: an exceptional, unusual, or abnormal person, thing, or occurrence​

Maybe the correct term is simply WTF. "Hey did you see the WTF last night?" "This thing was flying through the sky and I couldn't identify it. I was like WTF?"

From the description it could be anything that we don't understand. Like this Florida law. It's very clear as to what it is, but the UAP is ... why do we need to explicitly tell people don't sell your kids? I'm not even sure how that would work, if I buy one does it come what a warranty?


It used to be simple, it flies and we cannot identify it, it's an Unidentified Flying Object AKA: UFO. Now it's been upgraded to a phenomenon?

OK, here’s a rant I’ve been meaning to make for about a year. Due to California not being able to decide lately whether to give itself floods of biblical proportions or burn itself down, it decided on alternating both of these catastrophic conditions. Because of this, the pepper crop (and many other crops) were essentially completely destroyed, subsequently resulting in the utter lack of Huy Fong Sambal Oelek.
This is unacceptable. It’s been a staple in my pantry for decades, but it’s been gone from shelves for over a year. There are decent Sriracha alternatives other than Huy Fong, but the same cannot be said of their Sambal Oelek. There is simply no substitute, at least judging from others I’ve tried.
The pepper harvest is apparently in October, but I can’t seem to find any credible information on how this years’ crop is shaping up, and Huy Fong has removed an “update” screen that used to be on their website.
Guys, I need a fix. It’s sorely missed in my Ramen, my Asian rice just ain’t the same, and I haven’t eaten an entire jar in one sitting as a salsa for way too long. I’m sitting here salivating as I write this.
I miss this stuff SO MUCH! I just had to get that off my chest.

I’m heading into this college town close by and was going to stop at the Asian market, if they have it do you want me to get a few and ship them to you? 😉

If you find any, I will pay. I also (allegedly) have a gallon of it on the way. Hoping for the best! You rock, man.
