Do your fans at home sometimes feel like they're not moving enough air? And a short rant.

 Recently I had two fans that did not seem to be moving a lot of air.

I had to remove the front covers remove the blades and wash them because the leading edges had lots of dirt and crap on the side. After I cleaned them they performed 150% better than they had before.

Isn't it amazing how clean stuff performs better? Kind of like how your car runs better after you wash it.


Recently I bought a microphone for my computer so I could use the voice to text function on Windows 10.

When the function works it helps me significantly but frequently when the microphone is listening it just quits working like now. I had to restart the sumbitch 3 times.

I think it's just something to do with my computer.

I guess the rant is over for now. You folks have a good day.

Mornin'

 


There was that law in 2010 about healthcare...nope,nope, that fucked everybody.

Would You Shop in a Store With a Dead Person Laying in the Aisle????

 Granada Hills Vons stays open after customer dies in bakery aisle, employees say

I wouldn't.

But I guess a lot of people did.

Jesus Christ. 

The body lay there for four hours.

If I am the manager of that store, I'm locking the doors and escorting everyone out. 

Screw what corporate says.

Monday.

Well Holy Shit!

 Citizen Vigilante

There is a movie called Citizen Vigilante.

It takes place somewhere over in Europe.

The link above is to one scene of the movie.

I have not watched the movie I have only seen bits and pieces of it but if I can find it I will watch it.

Because someone finally got fed up with all the crap over in Europe about the immigration problem and made this movie I think the powers that be may want to start looking for houses elsewhere.

The government tracks my phone

 Your iPhone may soon be giving street cameras more information than your license plate ever could without you realizing it

US supreme court rules geofence warrants require constitutional privacy protections

It's none of the government's  business where me or my phone happens to be at any time.

Well, here I go again!

 Here is an update to my ongoing saga of my shoulder injury.

I went to the surgeon today she was a pretty nice lady. She said the rotator cuff injury is too bad to repair with surgery. So for now I am going to continue with physical therapy to try to strengthen my arm and improve range of motion and functionality.

And I guess in the future the possibility is there I can replace the whole shoulder joint.

But I'm not gonna do that right now.

This Morning was BullSputters

 I am fed up.

This so called medicine industry needs to be burned to the ground. Then maybe a phoenix will rise from the ashes.

Get to therapy, go to check in. They say I owe $419 on an mri. How? That was only a week and a half ago. And since I would only have been charge 450 out of pocket does that mean insurance only paid 31 dollars?

Walk over to mri. Ask why I owe 419 dollars. Answer, I don't owe anything for that, but you owe therapy 437 dollars. WTF?

Walk back to therapy, ask why I owe 437 dollars. She says you don't owe anything.  WTF?

Canceled therapy and went and got a breakfast sandwich.

I will  pay whatever I owe, but goddamn. At least be accurate about it.
