25%? That’s so high. Most places in the USA I feel like 18-20% is the norm

I don't remember where, I think the reason 25% sticks in my mind is because I usually do 20% and tend not to think about it. I did stop going to restaurants because of it but I would still go to fast food / take outs and then they started requesting tips before they even made the food. The increased in cost on top of the tip felt like small scale extortion - what are you going to do to the food if I don't pay. So now I just cook at home and save a bunch of money and I wonder how many others are doing the same.

I was always taught that 15% is the standard and that's all I give.

It was in 1995. We briefly flirted with 18%, but it's 20% now. At least for restaurants, taxis, and barbers. I've been prompted for tips at self checkout kiosks and tip a generous 0%.

Why should the percentage change over time?

Given that it's a percentage it already accounts for inflation, so I see no reason to ever change the default.

18-20% is already completely insane.

10% is the norm here.

I really only use Firefox and I’ve never had an issue with YouTube logged in and I use it a lot.

Free range isn’t that much space still. Pasture raised is better and at my local grocery store I can get a dozen for like $8/dozen.

When you read the fine print you find out that’s for a 2D simulation of a robot arm that isn’t moving. Real world results from coworkers showed it being about 10x slower than Drake in meaningful sims.

I don’t think the person was saying the lion roar traveled through the water and that’s how they heard it.

Oh ye rereading I don't know how I made that assumption.

I also agree they are bad but to simplify anything down to “it’s bad there’s nothing else to learn” seems like a gross oversimplification.

No, it looks quite similar but Queen Anne’s lace doesn’t cause burns. It’s kind of tricky to tell the difference.

I don’t know how you read my mind because completely randomly I was just looking at thermocouples for compost monitoring.

In my limited experience with Greyhound, the busses are notoriously late. I’ve taken it only 2 times. The first time was around an hour late and the second was running about 5-6 hours late.

Me too! I wish I had one for home
