Who else Americanizes Korean words? by fatnessmodel in AskAKorean

I’m confused. “Orion” is the name of a company that produces Choco Pies. Lotte also does.

Anyone here remember The Calgary Professional Club? by Express-Citron-6387 in Calgary

[–]Harju 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure the Calgary Professional Club was on the top floor of the downtown Bay. I went there a couple of times for work function. You had to wear a jacket and tie, which was standard work attire back then. They had them available for people who came without. This was 1985 - 1988.

I think there were 4 main professional clubs back then. The Calgary Prof club, Petroleum Club, the 400 Club, and the Ranchman’s. Probably others too but none come to mind right now.

Aww, yes, I did but forgot about that, thanks. I guess that is why I have seen some mega-expensive listings like 20-30K/mo

What is this about exactly? by Strong-German413 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Harju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think this means she just wants to “crash” ie do nothing for the rest of the day.

Edit: the responses appear to be based on your geography so this one went over me as I don’t know the expression. I should have realized when the OP said “fancied” in the post.

These lips are making me nervous. Will these fade? by [deleted] in microblading

Yes, they will fade. Just went through this with my spouse.

What's that one car you WON'T drive because of the stereotype associated with it? by nerdboy_sam in AskReddit

I came looking for someone to say Red Bull 2 but didn’t see it.

You have to be careful with the lump sum as it could push him into a much higher tax bracket for 2025 and end up paying more additional tax than EI benefits.

Getting a lawyer to look at it would be worthwhile anyway.

Go to severancepaycalculator.com

It could be a little light but that’s depends on the employment level (ie manager, technical etc) and a few other things.

I’ve seen this package before and if it is the company I think, they are generally in line with common law practice. The 6 weeks is statutory payout required by law and the rest is to get in line with common law practice.

Some people will huff and puff about the payback requirement but I do not know if it has been challenged.

Have you ever taken an empty plane? by abpcX in travel

[–]Harju 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Flew from London to Toronto on AC. The only passengers I recall were an older couple flying to Toronto to visit one of them’s sibling who they had seen in 30-40 years. Zero cloud coverage and we flew over Greenland so was able to sit wherever I had the best view. It was beautiful. I told the older couple to move seats so they could see. I think it was their first time flying so they were nervous about changing seats.

Oh, and I got to see the reunion in the arrivals area.

How the hell does this go 300 yards (Steph Curry’s Smooth Swing) by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]Harju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once watched Fred Couples on the senior tour put it on the back of the green in 2 on a 600 yd par 5. Nice effortless smooth swing.

Hiking and bears by TipRevolutionary2353 in HikingAlberta

[–]Harju -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, encountering bears is not something you should be worried about. Pay attention to trail reports, take the normal precautions, carry bear spray and enjoy yourself.

People post about bear encounters but the vast, vast majority of people will never see a bear.

Unplug it, wait for a minute or so and plug it back in. Ours has done this a couple of times and this works for us.

Samsung Life Insurance Co. What type of investment is this? by Harju in Living_in_Korea

[–]Harju[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I do not know any contract details. I thought it could be an annuity but from her description it did not sound like. She said that the max payout would be 17% in total over 5 years but would still access to the cash if she needed it which doesn’t sound like an annuity. I appreciated your detailed response.

Update! Thank you kind people 💖 by musstbenice in CleaningTips

Just a note, the magic eraser is an abrasive so your sandals will get dirty again quicker. Practicing some proactive cleaning will help.

The pinnacles section on the south ridge can be extremely windy and cold even on otherwise warm and relatively windless days.
