Ive Become Such A Spike Apologist Its Terrible. Spike Will Literally Make A Buffy-shaped Sex Robot To

So, I found out a fun fact this last weekend!

Every state has a Department of Weights and Measures. One of their jobs is to make sure that companies are actually selling you the quantities they claim they're selling. For example, this is the department which tests gas pumps and makes sure they're really pumping out a gallon of gas when they charge you for a gallon of gas.

So....

If you happen to, just as an example, notice that your 1lb (16 ounce) box of San Giorgio spaghetti actually only has 10oz of noodles, and you weigh your other boxes of spaghetti to discover they run from 10 to 14 ounces but never the full pound they're supposed to have, and that's why you never seem to have enough pasta for leftovers the next day, then you can report that to the Department of Weights and Measures.

They will want to know where you bought the item, and then will investigate whether the store or the manufacturer is routinely shorting customers. If they do, they will issue a fine to the offending party, you will be eligible for a refund, and under some circumstances lawsuits may follow.

Now, I don't know the outcome of the complaint I just initiated, but they did not want to know specific receipts or times of purchase. Which is good for me as I didn't keep any of those things, at the time I just said "Wow, fuck San Giorgio" and switched brands. But this is still enough to get an inspector out.

Is the appearance of Dreamstat in the Dubai apartment supposed to signify that Louis has continued to see this just nearly real apparition of his true love not only in the early days of dating Armand but their entire relationship???? I am only just thinking of that now, and thinking of maybe how unaware Armand really was of Lestat's appearance in their relationship

Remember: the more difficult you make it for them to realize a report is false, the more useless you make the portal.

This website is too mobile focused these days. Reblog and tell me what your desktop/laptop background is.

Give me less "being kind requires zero effort" and more "being kind is worth the effort it takes."

It's incredibly crucial that you fag it up in these trying times

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!
