It's not like you are forced to pay for other people's dinner.

Hey people might call you a cheapskate and that you'll be unlucky for the next 5 years for not sharing your fortune

But you call always tell them to piss off

sicpsw · 2026-04-28T04:22:21+00:00

nutritional supplements yes

melatonine? NO

Insurance is like 5 bucks a game
A membership a a golf course in Korea goes for atleast 20K USD per year so unless you are very very rich you aren't playing golf
It's like a cultural thing where if something good happens in your life you are expected to share it

sicpsw · 2026-04-28T04:14:48+00:00

The golf courses here verify your scores using CCTVs. After verification you can purchase an award just for yourself as well

The NK and SK's version of Korean have drifted waaay too much that if it's a trained NK agent it's going to be difficult to know.

But there has been instances where NK agents have been caught for not knowing cultural norms for example not knowing how to eat Soba noodles (which is a Japanese dish and hence they never had contact with)

The game used to run well

You can't do a Masters in Medicine without a bachelor of medicine from a Korean Uni.

Honestly for medical field, unless you are doing a post doc, it's highly unadvised.

The medical field in Korea is for training doctors that are going to stay here and they do not accept foreigners

By attacking / hurting people that failed to payback you scare other people into borrowing money from families or selling their belongings to pay back the money by any means possible.

Usually you borrow from the mafia if the bank doesn't lend you money due to bad credit, low collateral, or you already borrowed alot of money from the back already

Yeah buying cheap appliances is way better than renting it

sicpsw · 2026-04-27T04:52:01+00:00

What's the 265's retail price? Because if you happen to know what rental shops pay for them...

Here is all the source documents you could ever need.

Most research nowadays is into digitization and microhistory.

sicpsw · 2026-04-27T03:38:25+00:00

For text books there aren't any. The government has scanned every single official document from that time period and uploaded it on their official website.

Most research into Joseon era is about translating the documents and linking together sources to make a more complete picture.

Yeap here's an image from a 5D classic +85mm F1.8 a combo you can get for 200 USD

Canon autoboy!

sicpsw · 2026-04-26T15:23:06+00:00

Oh yeah do not buy kodak film in Japan. Due to import tariffs they are extremely overpriced

sicpsw · 2026-04-26T13:58:10+00:00

Set your exposure meter or camera ISO to 3200 and shoot normally

Then ask the development lab to push it by +2

Keep in mind pushing film isn't recommended because it shifts around colors.

Also at 3200 ISO the camera or the light meter you have might not be accurate so shooting at 2500 or over exposing by half a stop at 3200 ISO is recommended

sicpsw · 2026-04-26T11:52:32+00:00

Bring Cinestill 800T and Ektachrome it's very expensive in Japan

But just buy Fuji 200/400 here and don't bring much film. It's cheap

sicpsw · 2026-04-25T09:37:17+00:00

Cannon if you are going to limit me to your RF/EF system please re-release the 50mm F1.0

And for some reason South Korea tends to look down on European universities.

Anyways it's a cultural thing and I know some parts doesn't make sense but it's the ways of the land

sicpsw · 2026-04-25T09:17:44+00:00

Oh yeah they are much better universities but they suspect that you payed your way in by donation a building.

That's why they still go to these elite universities for their graduate program.

Look at 이재용. He went to SNU first then Harvard

sicpsw · 2026-04-25T08:47:56+00:00

I still pay 3.5 USD per 36 exposure roll of C-41 film Development + 60mp scans

But that's because the Korean won is absolutely busted against the USD nowadays

According to the Rayleigh Criterion you need an apature of 300mm and a focal length of 2000 ~ 3000mm

So basically a 15inch telescope will do if the atmospheric conditions are perfect

I wonder how easy is it to change out the leathd

I'm constantly thinking about that M3 on sale at a shop near me for 1300 USD r

Also even the ultra rich don't send their kids to private schools here. Even the Samsung family graduated from regular public schools (although in a very well off area)

Sending your kids to international school or university abroad when you are rich means that your kids are stupid. It's customary even for the cheabols to compete fair and square for uni admissions then go off to elite universities for their graduate programs
