bash uses $ character to indicate variables. for example, you can see your current environment variables with the env command. then to see a specific variable echo $var to print its value.

scripts may call variables for a variety of reasons. one common case would be collecting information from the environment it's running under to determine whether it's compatible.

there are a few buffets in my area that will sell off their remaining food at a steep discount around closing time. $9 for a carry out container that you can cram full with whatever's left.

as long as you don't mind taking it home to eat, it's kind of a better deal. no incentive to overeat and you can save whatever's left for the next day.
