First the tipping. Then the tipping after forced tipping. And the consideration is on whether to tip the tip or tip sans tip. Mind blown. Can you not pay the random additional charges on the bill? What are the consequences? In UK some resta

In my opinion the idea is more than direct data manipulation. It is about how we get feedback. In drawing, the medium to draw is the same medium to read. In programming, there is often a mismatch - coding on a text file, running on somewhe
