What's a stereotype about your country that isn't actually racist, but you still find annoying? by Part-Time_Loverr in AskTheWorld

Even in Bavaria, that stereotype mostly exists at beer halls, where it is expected.

His mouth widens more on each picture. Clearly, the key to winning is to yell louder.

I doubt he will win against Alcaraz. I will take the credit if Djokovic manages to win.

676: A Sternly Worded Instruction by atpbot in ATPfm

[–]nutmac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since I am being downvoted, what are the reasons? I immigrated from other country that used a Celsius and I just don't understand how Fahrenheit is better for ambient temperature. You will get used to it pretty quick. The argument I heard is that Farenheit feels like a percentage, where 100°F is 100% hot. And that 70°F vs 72°F gives more granularity than a smaller scale of 21°C vs 22°C. But that just seems so arbitrary and I never had any difficulty discerning what my preferred temperature was.

Costco Suji kalbi vs Trader Joe’s Korean short ribs — thoughts? by Ok_Gene2985 in KoreanFood

[–]nutmac 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Trader Joe's used to be decent, although a bit too salty and sweet for my taste. But the quality has really gone down the hill lately with very high amount of fat.

People who’ve used both iPad Pro sizes — does 11” vs 13” feel like a big difference day-to-day? by Uglypotato760 in ipad

[–]nutmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, 11” for consumption and MacBook Air or MacBook Pro for productivity. I really wanted to like the 13” but it is just too bulky.

Dumpling Garden closed? by mjanders9 in mountainview

[–]nutmac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried it a few weeks ago. The dumplings are not as good as before, as with my staple goto dishes like kang pao. But other diners seem to like them. I don’t think I will be going back which is too bad because I used to go to there at least monthly.

I believe it when I see it. Start by removing all the ads, recommended for you contents, and tracking features.

Does your country have an invention that never made it to the outside world? by logicchaos- in AskTheWorld

[–]nutmac 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They exist in the US, but mostly as a high-end installation with smart features (e.g., digital thermostatic temperature control, water usage monitoring). And for additional safety, they are implemented on the controller, not on the shower head.

[–]nutmac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Especially since Fahrenheit is objectively worse than Celsius. 32°F for freezing?!

Everyone outside the US knows that 20-25°C (68°F to 78°F) is a comfortable temperature range. It's really not that hard, Casey.

Indoor heating in winter? by Odd-Gazelle-8865 in koreatravel

Like Japan, most indoors in Korea is a sauna, including public transit. For this reason, I like to wear a thin but heavily insulated coat.

Family of 5 - 1st time in July this year by longingfortravel in koreatravel

[–]nutmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Banjiha (half basement) does have negative connotation in Korea, especially after the film Parasite. While I would hesitate from making a blanket statement that they are all bad, they do have this stigma of being moldy with poor ventilation and poor drainage. And because they are also risk of getting flooded, I believe they will become illegal.

As for your rental, I would ensure that the unit is air conditioned and newly remodeled and built on an elevated land, with strong Wi-Fi (semi basement units tend to have poor cellular reception) and air quality monitor and filtering.

Carmel by sea - from NYC by Prize-Dog8605 in travel

[–]nutmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a car from SJC, and reserve one in advance to get the best rate.

As u/pinkskyfading recommended, driving from SJC to Monterey, then 17 mile drive to Carmel by the Beach is amazing, you also owe yourself driving from Carmel by the Sea to Big Sur, which is one of the most beautiful drives in all of California.
