Look on the bright side: she was wrong on tips: they're calculated on net price and need not include the tax. If you're tipping based on total (incl. tax), you're tipping few % more than you intended to.

#12This seems to have fallen a looong way from front page then immediately? How? It's useful stuff to me. If taken as accurate, it tells me that I am not ready for a girlfriend, if it means I can't ogle other girls. Useful to know that.
p.s. if you like it, feel free to repost it. I'd say let's have a "PG, please let this topic back to the front page" trend; but he might just send a team of snipers at me afterwards. :/

In all honesty, that's probably because I once shared a HN link in email ... and I am pretty certain I now get automatically banned from the front page. It's kind of a bummer, but PG's ruling is final.
Thanks for the great article Kirill...very well written & you articulated some complex thoughts, which are kind of relationship commonsense, but hard to articulate & internalize/implement :)
I had a q. about your comment above though.."In all honesty, that's probably because I once shared a HN link in email"
I am a HN n00b...is sharing HN links in emails forbidden ? If so, what's the reason ?

lol. I know, right, that's the "right" answer from the patron's point of view. From the waiter's view, it's as much as you're willing to give'em =)

It's not forbidden, of course, but if you share a link in email and ask people to upvote that link, chances are you'll be picked up as spam. "Gaming" HN is really a no-no. But, turns out in my case, that wasn't the case.
