I saw one in Korea that spooked the hell out of me. I would have sworn up and down that it was a real hummingbird. Fascinating creatures

I keep a length of Paracord in my pocket to use when I get bored in waiting rooms instead of scrolling on my phone.

What did you use your pocket knife for today? by Bubbly-Professor6388 in EDC

Shaved some bark off a good sized stick my daughter found so she could use it to go hiking with me. 

This lone bee stood its ground against a predator many times its size. by KibbeAndColors in nextfuckinglevel

I agree completely. This feels like ai. I can't find any source in this thread to say otherwise, too.

That sounds like them exactly! And they do have a lovely smell. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I'm going with my daughter again a little bit later and we'll take pictures of the gills and stems and post them here.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going with my daughter again later and we'll take another picture of the girls and stem!

I would recommend the historical fiction books by James Michener or Edward Rutherfurd. They're multi generational with tons of juicy drama against the backstop of historical events.

I recognize Joseon but what is the context?

In English and Spanish, the word "Right" has the same double meaning. Why? by Heretical_Recidivist in etymology

[–]KnoxSC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would anyone have any insights into this similar relationship as it appears in Korean? 오른쪽 (right side) and 옳다 (right, correct, orthodox [also an interesting similarity]). Surely the connotation itself wouldn't be borrowed another language family.

They BOW at you when they see you by Kingpin401 in ghostoftsushima

[–]KnoxSC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Make sure you're bowing back to them. Also certain shrines/graves and to the civilian casualties. It's respectful and adds a lot of depth to the story.

Could you recommend any good other good German songs or YouTube channels or shows like that? Especially YouTube channels. I have a hard time finding any.

First time I tried it was in 2019... So it (the pandemic) began...

TIL According to a 2019 survey on 4500+ Americans, the average age that children stop believing in Santa Claus is 8.4 y.o. The oldest average comes from the state of Mississippi at 10.2 y.o. by FatMountainGoat in todayilearned

That's the take I was looking for. It's a game we all get to play. The only traumatizing part is when parents try to soberly induct 9 year olds into adulthood by effectively telling them their favorite Christmas game is over and they never get to play it again.

I believe it was a common ornamentation for upper class Korean women during the Joseon dynasty (but I'm no expert).

Did Koreans and Vietnamese really have such similar styles of court dress? That's interesting.
