Seriously, a bunch of people who don't know the GAO exists.

Have her go and get fitted. Many women don't know what their band/cup size really is.

Also, IMO, women's pant sizes are where the real absurdity in sizes is.

This is an intentional joke, right?

Sour cream. As a kid, I didn't like it. Now it's essential on my tacos, pierogi, and chili.

Cooks wages are integrated into the price of the food, and the waiter's are not. But some times cooks are tipped out too.

Except the food cost is only a small part of what we are paying for at a restaurant. What we are paying for is the worker's time and skills. We could, mostly, eat the same ingredients at home for much cheaper.

A lot of the other costs are small and make profit in scale.

I know people don't like the technical interview, but for me, it's not about knowledge but process. I don't care that you don't have something memorized or don't know the syntax without your linter. I want to see how you figure it out. I was interviewing for a junior web developer, and I gave them the task of fizzbuzz. I told them it was OK to use Google or any other tool. The interview ended with the prospect in tears. I felt very bad and told them they could finish it outside the interview and send it to us (they didn't). Somehow, they were still on our shortlist.

It is entertaining to consider that modems were just computers screaming at each other in shrill voices.

The question is, with what currency? The Cuban dollar is not really worth anything outside Cuba, so they can only rely on exports to fund currency needed to buy imports.
