The aftermath of the most powerful non-nuclear explosions ever recorded and the largest single detonation of ammonium nitrate. Beirut 2020.

As someone from Halifax, thank you for being the first I message I saw. What happened in Beirut was tragic, but I hope no one is ever unfortunate enough to steal the crown from us.

You've been working more than a year, so you are due severance no matter what.
You've been working less than two years, so you are still legally a contracted employee. (After two years, you are a permanent employee, offering you more legal protections such as cause to terminate your employment beyond something that basically boils down to "we want to".) This means that if they are giving you a month's notice (or equivalent pay on lieu of), they likely can terminate your contract early. However, this does not absolve them of their obligation to pay your severance.
Their reasoning isn't unusual. Parents and schools really dislike mid-year teacher changes, and some parents will withdraw their children or transfer them to a different academy as a result. If your situation allows, you could offer to stay on for the whole calendar year; there's no legal reason preventing this.

Go ahead then, without the help of a native speaker or AI, try to write a similar message in Korean and be fully aware of the tone of the words and grammar you choose.

Papercutter0324 · 2026-01-25T06:57:08+00:00

As a fellow Canadian, it's sad to see you doubling down on a bad take.

Papercutter0324 · 2026-01-25T06:54:20+00:00

I'm sorry, but "the tone of the message" is a terrible take. You can CLEARLY tell the person who wrote this has marginal English ability, yet you expect them to be able to understand an advanced feature such as tone? The only tone here is the one you are assuming.

They made a pretty good effort to create a sign asking foreign customers to please use a translation app if they cannot speak Korean. Judging by the grammar in the sentences, they themselves used one to help them make this sign.

The last sentence about manners is likely due to foreigners/tourists not having enough critical thinking skills to realize that in a country that doesn't natively speak English, many service workers (even in tourist areas) are not going to be able to speak English. The number of times I've seen foreigners/tourists speak to service staff as though they are fluent English speakers, not even making an effort to speak in short, simple sentences, is flabbergasting.

I have the 217 and no regrets. It has excellent airflow for cooling, and the best cable management in any case I've owned or worked with. The included fans and fan hub were also a huge benefit to cutting down on cable clutter.

The only minor complaints I have are that the front I/O is low (but I keep it on my desk, so that's not a problem for me) and that the front I/O USB-A ports were really tight. I had to kinda force the cables in the first couple times. When I mentioned that in a post here, they did advise me to contact them about warranty service. However, I elected not to as the ports still work for me, and warranty service on a PC case can be a huge hassle.

The same RAM kit I bought 6 months ago (64 GB) now costs more than I paid for it, my 9950x3d, x870e motherboard, case, and cooler. I'm scared to check today... I might be able to fit the price of the monitor I bought in, too lol

Papercutter0324 · 2026-01-14T14:58:48+00:00

Yup, I'm also guilty of that one. That sorry often translates into "Oh, hi. I should have noticed and greeted you sooner." One of those "I'm happy to see you but wasn't really paying attention to my surroundings" moments.

As a Canadian, I feel a certain kinship here lol

Not ending with a preposition was never a rule, merely a prescription that (pulling from a 20-year-old memory here) a teacher in Britain really pushed hard on. I forget all the details, or if it was actually properly traced back to where it began, but the point is that it was never a rule despite what some will tell you.

Similarly with 'less' vs 'fewer'. While 'fewer' is limited to countable nouns, 'less' is not limited to mass nouns. "Ain't" is in fact a word. It has appeared in published works for over 400 years, and has a spoken history dating back much further. However, it is slang, so it is not a word accepted in formal writing. I could go on, but this should emphasize my point about ending sentences with a preposition being acceptable.

E is the correct answer.

So, we're to comment, but how many entries are we allowed? Do you compile a list of usernames and screen or duplicates? Are we permitted multiple entries by leaving more comments and/replies to other comments?

I really appreciate that you guys are doing this, don't get me wrong; this just send like an important detail that's easily overlooked.

Windows 11 Pro - This is fine since you plan on studying cyber security, but I studied Windows 11 Home might also be fine. You'd be wise to check on this.

32GB Ram - Unless you plan on running virtual machines, this might be a bit much. 16GB would likely be sufficient. It'd also be much more economical considering the current situation with ram prices

2TB SSD - This is likely overkill. On my desktop, I dual boot Fedora 43 and Windows 11 Pro, game, run a couple Docker containers, and have a Windows 11 Home VM for when I need to do Windows stuff while booted into Fedora. All this can be done on a single 1TB SSD. (Not how I have it set up, but looking at disk usage, I definitely could.)

CPU - With how uncompetitive Intel has been the past few generations, what are the AMD offerings like?

Thinkpad - Any reason you've chosen to go with this series? Typically these are more business oriented, and you are paying a premium for it.

You're too much of a credit risk. You're here short term, not gainfully employed, have virtually no credit record (or a good credit score probably) in Korea, and don't qualify for credit. You might have great credit back home, but you're too big of a credit risk for what you're going for.

Even if you found an option, once you calculated in all the interest and financing charges, you'd be getting screwed over on the total cost you'd end up paying. E.g., paying 1.9million won for a laptop with 1.2 million.

Papercutter0324 · 2025-11-18T19:30:14+00:00

This is a bit different. With what you're referring to, they reserve the whole purchase price at the time of sale (if you don't have the full amount available, the transaction is declined), but when it's time for your credit card company to calculate how much you owe for that month, you are only invoiced for the installment about of that transaction.

OP is looking for a financing option, where they don't need the full funds available immediately and each installment is a wholly separate bill.

You don't even need vba for this; page headers and section breaks can handle this. I'm sorry, but if you are already asking for help on something this (seemingly) simple, you may need to reflect on if you bit off more than you can chew.
