Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

I have cut heads off of chickens and watched them dance.

I have also cut the nuts off of little male pigs while the mothers tried to tear down the pen to get to me while the piglets screamed.

such is life on the farm
 
Nothing is possible without screaming in anger.
Remember that kids, if you put your kids in glass rooms, the acoustics will make them sound a thousand times more
dangerous on what they really are, and people wonder why other people are happier without them.
 
Site got borked if you use Chrome or its derivatives. I'm using and old fork of Firefox on a Linux laptop that's called IceWeasel. The site also will load in Internet Explorer 8, with Javascript off. You can even make it look all Comic Sans there if you like!

Wait what? I have searched for iceweasel...
 
IceWeasel was an old fork of Firefox used in many Linux distros because Mozilla got into an argument with Linux over the name 'Firefox' and they couldn't use the name or something. At the time (2014-15) it was pretty gimped since HTML 5 support in Linux wasn't quite there, requiring Flash Player to run to view YouTube videos. IceWeasel didn't support flash at the time and that meant no YouTube.

It got retired in 2016 and is just Firefox normal now. I have been using a distro of Linux that technically still supports a fork of KDE 3 and can install the old IceWeasel package, which I had to do in order to view this site since Chrome itself decided it was too unsafe to visit even though I know it was lying like a rug. Ironically the old browser works fine for many sites Chrome deems unsafe. I know what is safe since I'm not an idiot. But yet the modern web treats me like one.

Looking for something on the Facebook marketplace. You try to contact the person and they don't respond. One guy said the best way to contact him is to phone him. His phone number is hidden.

I once skated through the marketplace but have never bought or sold there. Are there deals to be found there? I have both bought and sold using Craigslist. It's not without it's problems as well.
 
So you remember that scene from Ironman 2 when the black widow and happy hogan get into a huge fight with the evil henchmen and in the time it takes hogan to take out one guy the widow takes out a dozen :rolleyes::thinking:
Well I got to live it :thumbsdowndroid:. While at home I was playing some multiple player game with the daughter. We get into a huge fight and I am trying to get to her character to help but I can't seem to defeat the person I am fighting, while I am fighting, running, fighting my opponent, I am watching my daughter, shot, stab, bomb, body tackle multiple opponents at the same time all while collected valuable items and weapons, if that wasn't bad enough, she was commenting on my horrible fighting skills and explaining that we had to run and hide so she could get ready to engage another group of opponents all while fighting with the current opponents she was taking out
 
I always blamed that on game lag. Server lag or something. I remember my many times on Black Ops multiplayer, many of my bullets never registered as hits and I'd empty a clip on an opponent and still get stabbed and killed instead, meanwhile other players could get one-hit kills. I think I blamed it on my lousy 1mbps connection at the time.
 
Still the 2FA for duo mobile, is there like a backup for a key, I know I did type it down but accidentally deleted it, and I cannot revert it backward either. I have been trying countlessly and emailed the Other thing of another url I got from youtube.. Still they said to wait for a spell to activated it, well its been a long spell now..
 
So the light fuse of today.
Ever since ages ago, I thought my Samsung Galaxy tablet would show HH:MM:SS with everything, just tried a few system tuners of it..
am I missing something?
 
I just LOVE it when folks think they're saving money by buying inferior quality parts for their golf car. Such as the wrong solenoid. I just had to replace the most expensive component on an EZGO RXV (a drive by wire electric golf car, and this part is the speed controller--basically the ECM, which costs $1200+). The moron had tried to use a 12V solenoid from Auto Zone to replace their melted and bad one. They obviously forgot to read that it's supposed to be a heavy duty, constant duty cycle 36V solenoid, not a start-only low duty cycle 12V Made in China special.

They, in attempting to save $25 in parts, ended up costing more than $1,000. This happens far too often. But the real anger inducing moment is they blame US! I mean if you think you know everything why even come here to us?

Then you get those who had low voltage = heat which ultimately = controller turned into melted slag because of inferior, cheap batteries. Especially with Rural King branding. I don't really give a crap how Rural King gets away with slapping a 'Golf Car' label on the same battery they carry for a '30's McCormick Farmall, but the fact is you get what you pay for. The crappy $50 battery is going to have far less AH and capacity to drive a golf car, and anyone with any knowledge about electricity and Ohm's Law can tell you that low voltage = higher resistance and higher resistance = heat and the weakest link in the chain is what ultimately lets the magic smoke out.
