I guess you can either buy American measuring cups(dry and liquid) and measuring spoons or you can google the transfer to metric yourself. Am American stick of butter is half a cup. A cup is 16 tbsp. An American stick of butter is 8 tbsp. Half a…

(He doesn’t take a “this is bad art because…

Regardless of why airlines have to cancel flights like this, all I know is one thing:

1st gear: It isn’t just truckers that are a problem. A lot of good blue color jobs were dominated by Boomers.
