Green synergy🥦🫛🥒 & a double 🍓fizz is helping me get through all of the moving& unpacking. Why is it soooo much work even when you hire movers? Glad we love the new house because I’m definitely not doing this again until we build if I can help it;) Wishing you all a beautiful Sunday with the people you love 😌💚🌷✨

One of the best double breaches you will ever see caught on camera! Which version do you like best?!

State Representative James Talarico gives a speech after he won the US Senate race in Texas, news media projected. He defeats Trump-backed Republican Ken Paxton to end Democrats’ 32-year statewide losing streak and give his party a major boost in the battle for Senate control.

Paying for dinner in America comes with a few extra steps that Europeans just don’t understand.

In the European Union, menu prices have to include tax, so the number you see is the number you pay, while in the US, sales tax varies by state and city and usually gets added at the end.

Tipping is the other big difference. The federal minimum wage for tipped workers in the US is still just $2.13 an hour, unchanged since 1991, so in many states servers rely on tips for most of their income. In much of Europe, servers earn a regular wage, and in countries like France, a service charge is already built into the menu price by law.

Even the way you pay is different, since European restaurants usually bring a card reader right to the table, while many American spots still take your card away and come back with a receipt to sign. That’s slowly changing as more US restaurants switch to tableside payment, though the tip screen isn’t going anywhere.
