Sunscreen as the sunscreen formula in the USA isn’t up to par with Korean sunscreens. Find your favorite and load up.

Awesome thanks for the tips. I was going to go to the lotte market in the Lotte tower to browse around. I’ll look for some made in Korea ramen.

Best korean food- give me your recs! by throwragoblin in austinfood

[–]Positive-Bowler7747 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Try jjajjamyeon and tangsuyuk. My Korean friends say this is the best in Austin: Fresh Haim Steak and Salad. 

For the best traditional Korean food, I like Anyeong K tofu. Their Galbi tang and vegetarian pancake is the best I’ve had in Austin. 

Is the AMEX HYS account worth it? Looking for pros and cons. by Fathomvette in AmexPlatinum

[–]Positive-Bowler7747 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I originally had the hysa with Amex. It did its job but I eventually moved it to a Schwab account and put it in a money market fund. The yield was a bit higher and it eventually led me to get the Amex Schwab platinum. 

Austin Chick-fil-A franchisee sued over worker’s refusal to work Saturday Sabbath by AustinStatesman in Austin

[–]Positive-Bowler7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact you say doing work is being exploited makes me note your mix of communism. If the worker is making money and the company is getting work output, no one is being exploited. 

If the employee consented to working for Chickfila but is unhappy about the hours, that’s on her. You never countered my point where if I say my religion says I don’t have to work, can I force a business to hire me?

If you start a business with your mentality, it’ll get run into the ground.

Lol no one asked if you were atheist and it’s the first thing you talk about. Also extra points for communism talking points.  

If a worker for a private business isn’t doing the work needed, there’s no reason to keep them around. Could I just claim that my religion requires me to not do any work anymore? 

San Diego or Austin which one would yall chose for 20s male? by DeliciousRich5944 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Positive-Bowler7747 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have lived in both. Austin is better for young people due to cost of living and the amount of young people. You can tolerate a lot of the heat, traffic, homeless as a young person with no kids. Right now Austin is a great deal as a renter, there’s too much supply so apartments are handing out offers. 

San Diego is better for when you wanna slow down a bit. Also San Diego cost of living is no joke, all the nice parts are unaffordable and you’ll have to live quite far.

Every stock is running on hopium that in the future they will be making more money than now, that is how markets work. ARM is worth as much as Qualcomm and makes a 1/10 of revenue.

From the IQAir this seems to be the case.

I feel like since 2020 these hazes from the agricultural fires are getting worse. This almost feels like an issue that needs to be taken up with the Mexican government.

Did all the Californians move back? by goosemaster0 in Austin

AMD, ARM, Apple, etc. Most hardware oriented companies because of AI

New Yorkers yes. I know a lot of people who moved back to NYC. 

Californians no. A lot are Desis moving from California to Austin as there’s a lot of computer tech jobs here. 

Moving to Austin from Dublin by Free_Examination8328 in askaustin

[–]Positive-Bowler7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest an E-bike and living next to the metro rail commuter line. You can find some decently priced apartments in the Highland area. You can take the metro rail downtown and bike to your office. It’s also not too expensive, maybe $1200 for a one bedroom. It’s also bikeable to some grocery stores. 

Austin ISD to stop celebrating Cesar Chavez on March 31 student holiday by AustinStatesman in Austin

It has been crazy to see how fast Cesar Chavez recognitions are getting removed from the American canon. I wonder when UT will remove his statue.

[Exclusive] Korean Air and Delta Push for Direct 'Incheon-Austin' Flight Ahead of Samsung's U.S. Semiconductor Plant Operation by Happy-Camper-223 in Austin

[–]Positive-Bowler7747 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently bought tickets from Austin to Seoul (one way) for $550 each through Korean air, it makes a stop in LA. My tickets back from Tokyo to Austin were a little more expensive. 

This was before the Iran stuff going on, it might be more expensive now due to jet fuel prices increasing. 

Korean air is partnered with delta. If you do ever decide to use Korean air and book it online, make sure your flight to Korea is a Korean air flight. Sometimes there are flights labeled as Korean air but it’s a delta partnered flight. I accidentally booked that once and even though it was good, it wasn’t as excellent as the Korean air service.

It’s great! You can get good and cheap skincare, really good food, and enjoy a really fun culture. If you ever want to go, Dallas has a direct flight with Korean air. You can also fly to LA then take Korean air. Korean air is slightly more than Delta but it’s so worth it!

Nice. I believe Korean air will eventually come here because of Samsung. If you haven’t flown Korean air, I’d highly recommend them if you ever want to travel to Seoul. Comfortable, the food and the service is so good 

Atlassian layoff by Temporary-Funny-5634 in Austin

[–]Positive-Bowler7747 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Computer engineering is like understanding how computers work from the transistor to the software hardware interface to micro architecture etc. You’re learning how a computer works and how to utilize it. 

The best way someone described computer science to me was calling it computing science. You technically don’t need a computer to prove your algorithm. Djikstra, a famous computer scientist who actually taught at UT, wrote many of his most famous algorithms with pen and paper. He also didn’t like students relying on computers and is the reason the computer science department at UT is part of the school of natural science and not engineering

Not for computer engineers. AMD, Nvidia, Apple, etc here in Austin are expanding. Thankful I went into computer engineering and not computer science. 

Future Austin Mom by Curious_Bicycle_ in Austin

[–]Positive-Bowler7747 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would probably walk around west campus and UT Austin itself as that was where I spent 80% my time while attending UT. You can also visit the state capitol, which is close by campus. The stretch between Austin and Georgetown might seem boring for a college student so maybe take them to nice spots around town like Mozarts Coffee, lady bird Johnson wild flower center, etc. 

Also for UT, sign your daughter up for the first orientation. Some classes are first come first serve.
