Cranky Old guy's Griping...

[seeker_two]

I've pretty much given up on "properly" opening pills that are packaged like that. Between having a hell of a time pushing the pill through the often nigh-indestructible foil to several times where I actually crushed the pill in the process...I've given up on playing by their rules. I only open blister pack pills with the tip of a pocket knife now. I cut through the foil around the pill and let it drop into my hand.

That's what I do....but when you're in a hurry and half-asleep at two in the morning.....

....I just open them all and put them in an old Imodium bottle.

Cure for dia blame rhear or ...constipation.

Ensure the throne rooM is well stocked with reading materiel...(yinz gonna be a bit)

Then...

Two BIG BEAN BURRITOS from taCo sMeLL!

Gets the kRaP out!

Suck-starting a Mossberg might be more humane....

 

[Vaquero]

I'm feeling ornery.
Probably better put down the tablet and go pet the dogs.

How about Midway’s “ Mail Innovations “ shipping?
I get cranky just thinking about it .

I hate that whenever I have to take an emergency shit, that there always seems to be only three squares of paper left on the roll. Or if I absolutely have to do business in public in a questionable institution, there are never ass gaskets or appropriate amounts of TP to create one.

I hate toilet stalls that have a big gap in the door, or beneath them. I hate dudes who talk in toilet stalls and wish that the demons from Ghoulies would pop up and bite their sphynchters. Shut up and scroll shit on your phone like a normal person and stop *talking* while taking a shit in public.

I understand young children not having good aim, they're still learning. Grown men, however, should be able to apply judicious marksmanship with the gun that you've literally packed all your life. You should know the ballistic arc of the stream by now, and not piss on the handle of the toilet or urinal, the seat, or the floor all around yet somehow avoid getting your piss IN the porceline device in front of you. If its that hard, go sit down like a good girl and do your business that way.

And for the love of God wash your damn hands. The urge to throat punch people who do their business (1 or 2) and then leave the restroom with unwashed hands is high, but they're probably so damned nasty I wouldn't actually want to make physical contact with them, lest I get something that cannot be washed off or treated with the antibiotics that I'm not allergic to. Tasers would be better, but tasers are expensive.

Back when I really needed the grab bars in a HC stall I would get frustrated while I was trying not to crap my pants only to see an able bodied bastard come out after camping out in the stall and still be on his phone.

One of the reasons I keep hand sanitizer on my person. I don't trust the butt gaskets...I'll clean it myself.

Tires...

On the sidewall of modern tires...

In lettering so small as to be Lilliputian....

They have embossed pressures in "kilos per week" and "bars"? (I know what a bar is...and where it is..If I need a shot & a blame beer? I'll go get it).....

Who knows? Who even cares? What "kilos per week" and "bars" stand for...

What the heck is wrong with PSI? In lettering large enough to be legible?

All of my air pressure measuring devices measure in PSI!

Blame yuppys...need to go over to blame yuppy land with all their yuppy kRaP!

The rest of the modern World uses the Metric System. ’’Bars’’ is a measure of pressure. Never seen kilos/week, though.

For once, I agree with ‘’PBS’’:

Could the United States finally adopt the metric system?

The United States, Liberia and Myanmar are the only countries in the world that do not officially use the metric system for weights and measurements. On the brink of Thursday’s Brexit vote, author Daniel Pink wonders when, if ever, the U.S. might join the rest of the metric world.

Name the "rest of the stupid world" what put a man on the moon?

I'll wait...

If metric was any good? The French would not have invented it.

 

[leVieux]

In the United States, by Act of Congress in 1866, it became lawful throughout the United States of America to employ the weights and measures of the metric system in all contracts, dealings or court proceedings.

 

[Whistler]

Call me obstinate but I could not possibly care less what the "rest of the modern world" does and would just as soon they kept their opinions AND their systems to themselves.

 

[IXLR8]

I know what I like and I do not care about others think when I am making any tangible decision. Cool is cool, and crap will always be crap.

 

[striker55]

I swear if I turn on the news in a matter of minutes my blood pressure goes up. It's like watching doom and gloom.

Think about this? When metric is the only system left? Will they stop teaching fractions in math classes? Fractions are important for some applications.. Just like cursive, which they no longer teach in school.

Fractions are funny too. I remember as a kid, dad asked mom for a measurement. She replied with some number and 1/3 of an inch. Dad about blew up and wanted her to show him where the tape measure is marked 1/3 of an inch.

Metric is newer than our units of measurement. Europe was a major trading partner for most countries thus why they changed to metric.

 

[Whistler]

It's a good point, can't write/read cursive, can't read an analog clock, can't do fractions...
Archaic or not at least our system is based on things that will exist without technology, I can still pick a bushel.

 

[General Zod]

There was enough pushback on the cursive thing that it's being taught again, at least in some school districts. Abandoning it is part of the socialist agenda - if you can't read cursive, you can't read legal documents from before the 1900s. Including the Constitution. If you can't go back to the source and verify, then they can tell you history says anything they want it to.

I think he meant kPa, or kiloPascals. 1 Bar = 100 kPa which is close to 1 atmosphere at sea level. Or roughly 14.5 psi.

Funny how the metric folks make fun of the imperial measuring system as it was based on the length of a persons foot. But oh the metric system is more scientific. I call BS. Originally in 18th century France a couple of guys got together and decided that a meter would be one 10-millionth of the distance from the north pole to the south pole. But that distance could not be measured, only extrapolated, which is mostly a guess. So they came up with a platinum bar and called it one meter. Not very scientific at all. It was an arbitrary length that was pulled out of some French guys arse in 1792.
