Understanding Fun and Lifestyle Tools
Tipping customs vary significantly around the world. In the United States, the standard tip for restaurant service ranges from 15-20%, with 18% being the most common. For exceptional service, 25% or more is appropriate. Many other countries include service charges in the bill or have different tipping expectations.
Golf handicapping uses a standardized system developed by the USGA to level the playing field between golfers of different skill levels. The handicap index is calculated from your best score differentials, adjusted by course difficulty (slope rating) and course rating. This allows fair competition between golfers of varying abilities.
Generational theory, popularized by sociologists Neil Howe and William Strauss, suggests that people born in the same era share common experiences, values, and cultural touchpoints. While individual variation is enormous, generational labels provide useful shorthand for understanding broad social and cultural trends.
Random decision-making can actually reduce decision fatigue. Research in behavioral psychology shows that for low-stakes choices where options are roughly equal, quick random selection leads to greater satisfaction than prolonged deliberation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard tip percentage in the US?
The standard tip for restaurant service in the United States is 15-20% of the pre-tax bill. For excellent service, 20-25% is common. For delivery, 15-20% is typical, and for bartenders, $1-2 per drink or 15-20% of the tab is customary.
How is a golf handicap calculated?
The USGA handicap index uses your best score differentials from your most recent rounds. The differential formula is (Score - Course Rating) x 113 / Slope Rating. The number of differentials used depends on how many rounds you have recorded, ranging from 1 (of 5 rounds) to 8 (of 20 rounds).
Is the love calculator result accurate?
The love calculator is designed purely for entertainment. It uses a name-based algorithm that generates a consistent score for any given pair of names, but it has no scientific basis for predicting relationship compatibility. Real relationships depend on communication, shared values, and mutual effort.
What are the main generation year ranges?
The commonly accepted ranges are: Greatest Generation (1901-1927), Silent Generation (1928-1945), Baby Boomers (1946-1964), Generation X (1965-1980), Millennials (1981-1996), Generation Z (1997-2012), and Generation Alpha (2013-2025). These boundaries are approximate and vary by source.
How does the dice roller generate random numbers?
Our dice roller uses the Web Crypto API for generating cryptographically secure random numbers. Each roll is independent and truly random, making it suitable for tabletop RPGs, board games, and any situation requiring fair random outcomes.
