I late bought a novel (actually used) vehicle in addition to typically amongst such purchases, in that place was no printed owner's manual. However, I was able to download, inwards PDF form, a digital version from the manufacturer's website. But... Why on populace is the manual a screened PDF amongst all the associated artifacts? It's a PDF subsequently all! It doesn't toll whatever extra to issue it digitally using continuous musical note greyscale images or fifty-fifty inwards amount color. Then there's the weird demonstrate guy. First he has a fixed Botox-like smiling that never changes: And the same instance is used for dissimilar actions. However, despite his Botox frozen facial expression, he somehow manages to modify his pilus agency in addition to color from page to page: Grrrrrrrrrrr...

I don't know if this is a blueprint issue, a labeling issue, a legal issue, or? Here's an example of a label that makes me larn Grrrrrrrrrrr: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 tin of Campbell's soup (yum, yum): Ah, it contains 540mL of soup: Grrrrrrrrrrr! The ingredients are listed based on 250mL: Why aren't the ingredients listed based on 540mL (the tin contents) or fifty-fifty 270mL (half a can)? For about argue close soups, non but Campell's, last the same cistron measuring mismatch. Grrrrrrrrrrr! At to the lowest degree the label is printed using FM screening. :-)

Pretzel hotdog buns, yum yum. The bundle label says it contains vi buns. I wonder what the ingredients are for only 1 bun? Doh! Ingredients are listed yesteryear serving weight. But what's a serving? Do I bring to weigh the bundle to detect out what makes upward l g? Why couldn't they bring listed it as: "Per serving (one bun: l g)"?

Liberal Wastage

I received this mailer from the Liberal Party of Canada inward my post today. It's a "Special Invitation" to bring together the Laurier Club for a suggested donation of betwixt $225 in addition to $325. Inside is a "personal video message" which tin order the axe hold upwards viewed past times using the enclosed USB stick. To my surprise the "personal video message" was identical to the i that could hold upwards viewed at the URL listed only below the attached USB stick. So, the Liberal Party marketeers created a rattling expensive mode to communicate a unproblematic URL. Also, because the USB stick does non demo upwards equally an attached device on the user's figurer desktop - it can't hold upwards reused for whatever other purpose. What a waste.

Weights In Addition To Measures Craziness

I was comparison the nutrition data of 2 bags of cheese at the grocer's today. And noted that the data was based on the total of cheese past times loving cup as well as gram. Somehow, although they are both using xxx grams every bit the mensurate - 1 has xxx grams beingness 1/3 of a loving cup merely alongside the other the same xxx grams is 1/4 of a cup. Hmmmmm. So what does a web-based converter say? Apparently 1/4 of a loving cup isn't xxx grams - it's 59! I hand up.

Nothing printed on the bottom or sides...but I intend I run across a smudge of dark on the bottom left side of the cup's overstep cover. Luckily I accept my loupe for a unopen upwards view. Hmmm, fifty-fifty viewed nether loupe it's nevertheless unclear. But amongst a fleck of picture manipulation inwards PhotoShop the conk appointment is lastly legible. Surely the pattern folks at Campbell's or their packaging supplier, Interpress Technologies, tin come upwards up amongst a means to impress a legible conk appointment on their containers.

It was shown today to jurors during the defense’s opening tilt inwards a Los Angeles courtroom. What has happened to basic proof reading? Then L.A. prosecutors too ran into spelling problems during their opening statement. On i of the slides shown to jurors, the give-and-take “pronounced” was missing the minute “n.” Jeepers, when a comma tin hateful the departure betwixt "Let's eat, Grandpa." too "Let's swallow Grandpa." shouldn't lawyers endure to a greater extent than astute?
