Lathis's Unecessary Rants About Useless Topics

Ok, sorry. Here's a light-hearted rant from me today....Micro-brew IPA in an aluminum can?! What the heck is up with that? I did a favor for a friend and he paid me in canned beer?!

Cans are for Coors light. I'll drink my IPA from a bottle thank you very much.

That was just hateful. The only place good beer in cans is acceptable is at the beach or sporting events. If he gave you canned beer, you must have done something to tick him off. Or he has terrible taste. Maybe time to re-evaluate that friendship? :D

That and the fact we can't get any laws passed because of political infighting, no space budget because narrow minded politicians think that space is a dead end and we have too many problems on Earth to devote money toward it.

So clueless that they don't realize that a lot of today's technology was developed or made possible by our space programs. Not just Tang and TV dinners and aluminum foil....GPS anyone? Satellite TV, solar cells, water purification, safer tires, scratch resistant lenses, heart pumps, memory foam, robotic prosthetics for amputees, even the in ear thermometer that they use at your doctor's office to take your temperature. Tons more, too many to list. Nope nothing to learn in space.......lol.

I'll be out back digging my bunker now. :p

How about the fact that the average cellphone has more computing power than than the Apollo space capsule? If I am not mistaken the internet came from the military.

Yes, it was started by the cold war as a covert method of communication if russian bombs took out phone lines. It didn't take off until Congress allowed consumerism on the web. As soon as businesses figured out they could use it to sell products, it took off. The porn industry was one of the first ones to jump onboard, not surprising.

I grew up as a military brat and dad was a computer programmer in the USAF. I got to play poker and blackjack on computers the size of large buildings.
 
I've got a couple...

People that talk on their phone on speaker in public. No gives a F what you and the other person has to say to one another. Uhhhh

And bathroom stall conversations for that matter. Its not social hour. Do your business and get out. This probably doesn't happen in men's bathrooms but In women's it's an epidemic.

The American Penny: When can we please eliminate single cent currency from modern commerce? You know what you can buy with a penny - a big steamy pile of freaking nothing! It's just Abraham Lincoln looking all smug in his big chair and mustachless beard, guilting us into continuing the manufacture of a coin worth only $0.01 that costs $0.02 to make. Can you think of better uses for all that zinc and copper? I can - it's called "anything else". Next time you see a penny on the street - STOMP ON IT.

Unnecessary Rant of the Day: Advertising the Obvious

"It all starts with farm-grown potatoes"

What's with the emphasis on the "farm-grown"? ALL POTATOES ARE GROWN ON FARMS. THAT'S WHY THERE ARE POTATO FARMS. TO GROW POTATOES. Is there a danger that the potatoes may not have been grown on a farm? Maybe they grew on someone's head? Or on the moon? That's like saying: "Our beef is produced by living cows". No dip, Sherlock! Stop advertising the obvious and pretending like it's something special.

Advertising is a game to play on emotions. By using that phrase, it evokes warm nostalgia of a farmer standing in a field tending his crop by hand. Nothing could be further from the truth regarding current farming techniques though.

Not all potatoes are grown on farms, there are also "garden grown potatoes".:p

Hey, at least they are one of the few snack manufacturers that took out the MSG from their chip seasonings. Nasty stuff those excitotoxins.
 
Don't the space station people grow food? Here is your order: Uranus fries, Neptune shake, and Mars burger. Washed down with filtered pee water. Tasty!:eek: So you wanna be an astronaut when you grow up, kid?
 
Uranus fries...really junglefries. Could have gone with Saturn, Mercury, Jupitor, but you with went with Uranus :rolleyes: It did crack me up though.

Never even crossed my mind, actually. I was trying to figure out urine, while being PC. Had some others, but decided I didn't want to be banned. :eek:
