The trend of small cramped tables with way too many things on them (Do we really need a 4foot wide bread-basket? 3 butter dishes?) and HUGE plates with 6" of sprinkled herbs bordering the 4" serving of whatever it is on the plate has been one of the leading questions in my mind. In a picture, that looks cool and all,…

For a little while it seemed that all of the “Hip” or “Trendy” places (You know, the places that charge $15 for a burger and have horrible parking solutions) were all switching over to paper straws. If we could just mandate that every-place has paper straws, we could be done with this. I have a titanium straw in my…

Came looking for this, found it. This is what I hate Nissan the most for.

You 0.o

The lack of making more than 2 of the same model is driving me up the wall! I have a pot, my parents have a pot, my sister has a pot, most of our friends that live around us have instant pots, but NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM ARE THE SAME AS ANOTHER! Some have a really cool way to hold the lid, some have pressure buttons,…

Snow Tires. Second set of wheels. Put them on when needed. Have a better experience than AWD drivers on all seasons have.

Slab of Granite... A.K.A. Surface Plate. Where machinist’s dreams go to die.

On a funny note, the FCC did accept my vanity call sign for my ham radio license, even though it ends in WTF. Then the great state of Ala-Freakin-Bama had to go through a process to relax the swear filter on their system to give me my plate with my ham radio call sign on it, even though it ends in WTF. So, it can be…

Ya, this was “fun”. I thought I was pretty good at round-abouts, but 12 streets and 6 lanes? Ya, screw that.

But see... It’s got these shift-up/down buttons. You are manually shifting. Porsche dealers are the absolute WORST about this. Tip-tronic is NOT manual!

Will have to reply to this. I have a ww2 era Walther PPK that my grandfather took off of a Nazi in Germany that absolutely has a loaded indicator. Just above the hammer, there is a small silver pin that is pushed out by the rim of the shell when there is a shell in the chamber. It is both a visual indicator as well as…

This is an ongoing thing with every Chrysler product I have ever come across. My buddy had a ‘96 Dakota (base model with the only upgrade being the bigger available fuel tank) that the dash seemed to be programmed for the smaller tank. He could be on E for better than 100 miles. Now same guy has a ‘99 TJ and he went…

Looks very close to the shape of the full sized Transit grille.

Bother, Bother!

Blocking the box... Alabama, it’s customary to have 3-5 cars go through the red after it turns red! Oh, I can stack into the intersection just before it turns red? Woohoo! Here I go! Sure, it will block the intersection for the entire time the light is green for cross traffic, but fuck ‘em. I got mine.

I have come quite close to changing the default password reset to “IamTheProblem1"

When I special ordered my Jeep, none of the local dealers would budge on price. They sell enough of them, that they have little to no inventory over 2 months on the lot. They really don’t need to budge, so, since I was ordering a combo that I wanted (Color/options...) I made one of the contract line items that no…

IT Helpdesk for a Nursing Home management company. The ability to not kill yourself on the 60th time you’ve had to spell out that Password1 is in fact Capital P, Lower-case A-S-S-W-O-R-D-One. Yes, that is the entirety of the word Password followed by a 1. No, it’s not 1Password1. No the password is not just 1. Yes,…

I have taken the dealer plate frame off and tossed it to them as I picked up a car. The best was a warranty repair and they put one on the car... Yep, took it right back off right in front of the waiting lounge.

One day I saw a guy go out to the parking lot at work and fire up his car. He started some bass heavy track in the car and then got out with a screwdriver. He headed for the license plate on the back and started to twiddle the screws until the plate made just the right buzzing sound when the drums hit. He literally…
