Dob, it is true. you just cannot read. the post says the weight printed is nowhere near the actual weight. which can mean either too much or too little.
Come on, let's have a little pity for Dob, here. I mean, when was the last time anything has gone in your favor like that? As a society, we're all but primed for negative results these days. Think about it. When you buy something, open something, order something online...you're sitting around with your fingers crossed it will be OK, aren't you? We're not used to such windfall, fortune, or good luck anymore. We're used to a chit show.
Vanessa, "As a society, we're all but primed for negative results these days" is because bad news has become king in the media; as in the old saying 'If it bleeds, it leads'. The news is mostly bad news/misfortune/disaster based anymore; with it only ending with a feelgood 'lemonade stand for charity' or 'baby animal born at the zoo' story as mental palate cleanser, so that you might actually tune back in tomorrow.
"We're not used to such windfall, fortune, or good luck anymore" is only because it rarely gets reported. Often, when you go to a bakery and order a dozen of something, you walk out with thirteen (known as a baker's dozen) because it is good for business to give a little extra, as it brings the customer back. But now you are almost expecting to only get eleven instead of a dozen because the negative exception to the rule is all that you ever hear about anymore.
#9 Good to show with a keychain how the epilepsy device looks like. Normally this part is placed somewhere in the upper part of the chest, with a wire to the brain.
#40 Interesting, that young would-be grammarians have eschewed the oxford comma - to the point at which it makes sentences unclear, yet now they put commas where they serve no purpose. A group of truck drivers sued their company for $9millionUS and won their case because of an absent oxford comma. I know languages change every day (but not everyday), but this one puzzles me.
