Prices for food in a restaurant is not that hard to calculate: you figure the cost of one plate of food, multiply it by four and that is price to be charged before taxation.

One part is for the pantry. One part is for the kitchen staff. One part is for the room staff. One part is for the house.

Not hard to figure.

Drinks and beverages are basically all profit, unless you want to drink water with a refined meal (the healthiest/best option but most people won't), so you will pay for a soft drink twice or triple what it costs you at the store and lets not start talking about wines, beers or, even worse, spirits.

Then what are chicken?

And that is why I loathe acronyms with all my heart.

Thank you for decoding it.

EVOO?

What's that?

Pasta with tuna sauce was my strong card for years.

Recently I learned how to make creamy rice with no need for special purpose rice, so it became the preferred option as it can can take any toppings I can find in my fridge or pantry.

Being slightly magnetic could prove useful: never again would cutlery fall from your hands!

And being capable of interfacing with 5G antennas? Becoming my own personal signal booster?

ah, foiled again...

Don't really know. I'm aware such a depiction exists but precise details are moot, for what I care.

I think it revolves around the temple grounds being used as a market and/or being a place where moneylenders were present, thus, again, going against the teachings advising against greed and materialism.

I'm the least knowledgeable and interested person you can find, when it comes to the contents of the bible. You can pack your reference guide; it has zero value to move forward your argument, for what it concerns me.

That particular scene is fairly common knowledge. It depicts one man going against an establishment, phisically and verbally assaulting people in a place where they feel safe and sanctioned.

Regardless of context and background, that is a fair example of subversive behaviour.

That version sounds a good deal like Mad Max films.

I would expect Trump at some point to "write" a book narrating his struggle in life, an inspirational narration of his hardships, to elevate his followers and supporters.

It would make a nice companion book for this one.

The passage where the man expels the people from the temple, accusing them of betraying the teachings seems very much subversive.

Here is a single man going against status quo and establishment. If that is not a good exemple of subversion, there is none.

The moment they deliver it and it is paid for, you can do whatever you want.

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

My carrier has been giving me weekly data packs since mid May, with a use-or-lose-it condition, so I have been actively not using my home connection and connecting everything I can remember to my phone's hotspot.

The moment you pay/receive the bandwith, it's yours to use as you understand; the network can't interfere with its usage.

That is gross overreach.
