I tip based on the weight of the receipt

The more I order the bigger the receipt will be


Thankfully you don't have to tip at CVS

How do you go about measuring the weight of the receipt?

Compare it to a standard saltshaker?

Edit; no wait that's not a bodily thing, average sized boogers?

This is a false flag operation.

A true dozenalist would never describe the system as “base-12”.

The dialectical struggle of history has always, essentially, been a question of how to apply justice to matter. Take away matter and what remains is justice.

It turns out the only thing more expensive than a class-action lawsuit by 60,000 people is 60,000 separate arbitrations.

When we were house-hunting in the Bay Area, we saw this house with absolutely glorious three-story views out over the canyons near 280. The kitchen was smaller than those in some of the apartments I've lived in. The house was obviously built for entertaining, so my husband and I deduced that it was designed for people who had caterers.

I've seen (on hate-reading links) upscale houses that have one kitchen for the servants and another for doing your own cooking.

If you came from wealth, would you rather destroy the world via twitter or hang out in nature and drink beers? Seems like the billionaire brothers are the actual failsons

this is supremely common in actual megamansions now, and also literally every house over like 3k square feet built before 1900

that or they have back stairs that lead to the kitchen from a small, separate part of the house. for reasons :)

We have objects that are called colloquially "teaspoons" that are physically much larger than the unit of measurement known as a "teaspoon", because they're just fuckin' normal-rear end spoons. For some reason the wires got crossed several decades ago and now that word just means "normal fuckin' spoon" here.

A lot of people also have actual teaspoon-sized teaspoons and they may or may not differentiate between the two, or (like we did growing up) just call them "the small spoons"

It sorta feels like the moment dinner table setting stopped being a formal thing that women would have to rigorously train on to be proper and ladylike - y'know back when you were supposed to have a salad fork and a soup spoon and a tea spoon and a butter knife and a table knife and all that poo poo just for eating dinner with your boring-rear end white people family and they had to be arranged in just so order or your value as a woman was forfeit - whatever the hell kind of spoons and forks and knives happened to be on the table the moment that stopped being a thing condensed out as the "default" silverware we use now.

Teaspoons are for stirring your tea (obviously), eating yogurt or jello or pudding cups etc, spoons are for eating soup and cereal and icecream.

What are all my other bigger spoons called? They're not soup spoons, they're not round enough.
