Friday Night Rants?

[neels]

What the fuck is wrong with people who disassemble motorcycle fairings, and then put them back together missing half of the bits, or with whatever comes to hand first.

Where have all those rubber bushes, spacers and washers gone, that at some point must have been attached and now are not.

I have this mental picture of a garage floor littered with fasteners like gravel, and some neanderthal just picking up the nearest one and sticking it in the first hole it fits into.

Bastards.

[Grumph]

All those pieces fall through a hole in the fabric of space and time - to join all the socks lost in washing machines.

If you ever get the chance to visit the any meat works tripe room you will find out where those bits of missing washing sometimes end up.
Socks, tea towels, undies along with staples and wire or bale wrap are all apparently staples of of ovine or bovine or caprine diets.
They apparently just blow off the washing line.

I feel for you - the buggers ripped out a couple of wires for the neons on my truck, exasperating eh?

That giant thing you call a dog ate them,

That giant thing you call a dog ate them,

I'm down 4 valve caps, 2 rubber seals and the end of my spoke cleaning brush to a reasonably small dog. She's like a ninja, the moment I lay something down she appears and eats it. I've started keeping things in my mouth but that may not end well.

The cat will rub against a greasy chain perhaps, but has shown no sign of trying to eat something that doesn't smell delicious, preferably on the plate of a human.m

I generally find those ones have fallen inside somewhere, where they bide their time until there is suitable opportunity to jump out where they'll never be found.

Yes your garage floor is clean, mine is generally not. That's why I take a picture of the thing I'm pulling apart, print it and stick it to a bit of cardboard, so I can poke the bolts though the hole on the picture that they came out of.

At least our small dog doesn't eat things in the garage, just wanders in and shits on the floor, then goes back into the house for a snooze satisfied with a good day's work.

She must have some interesting turds?

She must have some interesting turds?

They're bloody huge but I can't bring myself to investigate.

Well its Wednesday but here goes.

I really enjoy a good read of a bike mag on a lazy weekend morning. I subscribe to a couple and despite thier sporadic arrival since 2020 devour them when they do arrive. Nothing beats paper.

Except, oh, the bag is wet! Ahh shite! Grumble NZ post grumble.

Then I kinda thought. . . So where has this been to get wet? Not in Wellington I'd think. Probably spent some time in a flooded warehouse in Auckland airport until backlog made it down here.

Maybe other people have bigger problems. Trying to dry it in the sun, opening pages, continue. Oh well.

Ok last one was a bit of a fizzed, but here is a RANT.

Fucking Bluetooth! Wife buys son a smartwatch so can stalk him under guise of comms with no social media, but the little bugger showed up home from school too early. Anyhoo. Trying to connect this fucking thing. Wife gives up, my problem. Try my phone next. Hour lost, still no joy.

User manual download no help. Site fucking useless, half of it doesn't work, FAQs lame. Had to send begging messages for help. Cunts. Test your fucking product on multiple platforms including most popular ones, and dont test sucess paths. Test 'What ifs'. Amateurs.

My fuking car stereo is as bad. Kept stuttering and dropping out. Tried clearing caches and all sorts of things suggested on web. Ended up having to factory reset the thing using secret menu. Jesus bumming krist. My Bose never gives that grief, so BT can work.

I hear ya, did the watch come with an app? I know I needed a app before my ue boom speaker showed up on my phones bluetooth list.

My son had the same issue as you, I looked and found a firmware update for the car stereo itself, problem was resolved. Good luck.
