Once again, Dell sucks.  I'm not sure how many times a dock can fail for a rugged Dell laptop, but as I type this, both of my monitors are flashing on and off.  There's no way in hell I'm personally buying another dell product if they can't get a rugged laptop system to work in pretty ideal conditions.

I live on a side street off a busier road.  I know you're in a hurry to get through town, but what do you gain by blocking my side street?

Please don't "enter the box" if you can't get all the way through!  I sit through a red light several times as people go nuts to butts blocking the intersection.  WTF? 

At an intersection in NYC cops stand on the curb waiting, at EVERY flip of the light there's always two or three knuckleheads that get stuck inside. Ticket time.  I feel bad for truckers that have to go there.

All I want is a new cable ran from an upgraded DVR to a known port on a known switch at a known bay.

That's it.

But this team is making this nearly impossible and still haven't said how to create their special ticket to get this to happen.

How, in this day and age where children have iPhones, do you think it's remotely acceptable to list a berkeleying house for sale without ANY pictures beyond 6 year old Google satellite images?

The windshield washer squirters on my truck absolutely suck. They barely hit the very bottom of the windshield at 70mph. Ok fine, I'll order 2 new OEM Mopar nozzles because I don't feel like dicking with them.

Amazon has "OEM" in stock with Prime shipping. Cool. 2 days later they arrive. Guess what? They are some E36 M3ty Chinese knock offs. For $20. Each.

Well damn, I guess I might as well put them in since I'm tired of dealing with a dirty windshield driving east, right into the rising sun.

So I pull the hood insulator to get to the nozzles. I break all 8 retainers trying to pry them out. Awesome. I finally get the insulator out of the way.

Hmmm. Before I go through the trouble of pulling these out, let's check the flow to see if the pump is dying or the hose is clogged. I pull off a connection and aim it over the side of the truck. I hit the washer button and... It's literally just a dribble. The stream doesn't even shoot out 3 inches. (Heh.) Well E36 M3. To get to the pump, which is mounted to the bottom of the tank, I have to remove the grille. About 30 minutes later, I get everything off. The pump seems fine but the fluid has a really oily appearance to it. Hmm. I'll drain the fluid out and have a look. I proceed to spill about half of the gallon tank on myself, the truck and the floor.

I remove the rats nest of wires and the hose from the tank and take it into the house. It's covered in Armor All (thanks stealership detail dude). I get the tank all clean, inside and out. The pump is friction fit to a rubber grommet in the bottom of the tank. I notice that water isn't really flowing out of the grommet like it should as I'm rinsing the tank out. I pry it out and...

Yum. Did some dumbass put coolant into the washer tank? The truck takes the gold coolant (HOAT?) so I hope that nobody put green coolant in. Upon further inspection it looks like fluffy seed material (Cottonwood?). The little filter is packed nearly solid with schmutz. One thorough washing with Dawn and a small brush and...

All clean! I assemble everything and try the hose over the side of the truck test again. Water shoots out about 6 feet and hits the wall.

Sweet!

It was an easy fix but frustrating that I had to do it on a truck with 29k miles.

Now I gotta return the E36 M3ty nozzles back to Amazon and buy 8 retainers for the hood insulator.

I read a lot. Any word I don't recognise I look up. If your definition of obscure words contains little used or obscure words, you are missing the point of being a dictionary.

lickspittle.

In the definition is this word: obsequiously, which I also had to look up.

I know obsequious because someone used it here a couple months ago and I've used it several times in work emails to piss off a coworker. Looks like I may be moving on to lickspittle.

I love my mother-in-law (she really is a nice lady), but for the love of pete, lady, if you’re gonna buy a new car, read the manual and figure out how the danged  thing works so you don’t have to constantly call my wife and ask questions like “how do I disengage the adaptive cruise control?” and “how does the gps work?”

Struggling right now.

Doesn't help that Hanoi Jane has moved here and thinks berkeleying up traffic every Friday will heal that which does not need to be healed.

So I didn't drive y'day which means no money.

So I get up at 4am and start driving at 5am.  I even decide to pick up in my neighborhood for the first time in a very long time.

Just gotta drive around the shell casings from last night.  Man semi-auto rifle fire in a gun battle has a cool sound to it.

My car is now covered in the passengers vomit.  I won't make any money today.  I don't even want to clean it.  It's so bad.

I actually don't want to go on anymore - this city is pure unadulterated evil.  I feel no better than servile trash.

Oh well.  Geaux Tigers!

I was so obsessed with finishing my challenge car in October that I didn't realize Jay and Silent Bob Reboot had come out.  Now it's not in theaters anymore and I have to wait until late January for the DVD release.

Dear car dealers, put the berkeleying price of the car on the ad instead of just the "low monthly payment", willya? No, I'm not calling you to find out what the actual price of the car is if you won't tell me, I'll just go look somewhere else.

On a side rant, does anybody else's Facebook Marketplace feed pretty much solely consist of dealer ads these days?

Nuts in general have gone up for some reason. I love pistachios and just saw a bag I used to buy for 4.99 be 9.99.

 

That's a huge jump

Did a machine design this CAPTCHA?

 

So of course I didn't select any of the squares. Which was wrong.

WTF?

EDIT: I know what this is. This is a way for the machines to use human logic against us. Welp, it looks like I'm not surviving the AI uprising.

Junkyard was mostly a win, so this very minor rant is that the header panel on the only Cougar in the place was cracked. No sense replacing my broken one with a slightly less broken one.
