[...] tips don't count as part of a restaurant's revenues, but higher menu prices do. So if a venue increases prices to pay staff more, its revenues go up accordingly, and it must pay more sales tax.

“My good friend Mr. George, I just want you to listen to what I’m telling you. I promise that you’re going to receive your package.”

I cannot help reading that to myself with a thick Indian accent. Been watching too much Scammer Payback, I guess.

I now have a motorized desk at work and unlike the one we have at home, you cannot single-tap the memory setting and just watch it adjust. I need to hold it until my desired height is reached.

I'd get dressed before photographing that thing.

Patienten-Selbstbeteiligung? Hab ich schon. Steht jeden Monat auf meinem Gehaltsstreifen.

A gaming GPU has cost as much as a console for a while now.

Couldn't even get the flag patch right.

Kinda weird that US culture tends to demonize handouts, yet handouts in the shape of tips are expected and you're a bad person for not providing them.
