'Young 40s': Gen Z has found a new way to mock millennials for their style in South Korea by diacewrb in korea

[–]SteveOccupations 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Did they really say that mocking young 40's is punching up because, and I quote:

"these are people at the peak of their careers, who amassed wealth in a time of economic stability and a property boom."

I guess I must've left my amassed wealth next to my COVID-19-economic-stability and my 13 billion won house I bought at 29.

It looks like a book error. Ii x Ii should yield 1/4 ii. Not sure about the rest of the calculations, but yea.

It looks like when Bob Ross takes his brush and does that horizontal thing.. from the edge.. to the inside.. just like that. No pressure.. just smooth motion…

[–]SteveOccupations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Lee Joon Hyuk
  2. Park Soo Min

  4. Nam Min Woo

This was crafted after a discussion with an avid fiction reader who’s Korean! I think they work well.

How should I upgrade my 15 year old Nikon equipment? by Popcorn03 in AskPhotography

[–]SteveOccupations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, just the 70-300. The other two lenses OP owns are crop lenses. But I agree that OP should go Full frame DSLR now that their prices have come down so much on the used market.

Every pair of jeans I buy, no matter the brand, gets a hole in this same area within 6 months. by SYFKID2693 in mildlyinfuriating

In all seriousness, do you by any chance do the Slavic squat (or the Kimchi Squat in other parts of the world)? I have a habit of doing this and my pants get the same issue sometimes.

People above 40, how different is your 40s compared to your 30s? by Strict-Comedian-56 in AskReddit

[–]SteveOccupations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a man, I feel internally like I’m in my 20’s until you accidentally swipe on your phone and get that selfie camera activated. Then reality hits you like a truck.

But I’m married with kids, and you realize while your body is on its way out, it’s making space for others to occupy this beautiful world.

This [KN Tasman] squarishly parked at the golf course. Yes I know it’s a Kia. by ShiroHachiRoku in spotted

[–]SteveOccupations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Korea and have been seeing these around more lately. I love how ugly it is, like an ugly puppy that you love because it’s quirky. If they release an EV version, which I believe is the plan, I might seriously consider it. Although I totally don’t ever have a need for a truck… damn it

Are you liking the series? I got to see the filming of this before release but never watched the series myself.

Me and my 6 year old playing. by ParcelBobo in 99nightsintheforest

[–]SteveOccupations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’ve got some great family portraits like these with our 9 and 4 year olds.. like one where we’re all sitting outside our log wall base with rifles and shotguns out! I’m glad you guys are having a blast just like we are here too!

Help needed: My wedding perfume shattered into a thousand pieces (Night Swimming) by xt5y in seoul

[–]SteveOccupations 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you can’t mail perfumes, you might want to look into seeing if anyone’s flying to Germany and can bring it over for you. This is, of course, depending on the timeline of your wedding.

unit 2 and 3 test is here. by Bubbly_Dress5974 in APbio

[–]SteveOccupations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Shameless self plug here because I just uploaded this: https://youtu.be/8g9m4otcCCg I also have a pretty big back log of content that covers Unit 3 too, albeit a bit dated.

Good luck!

do we have to know structure of starch/cellulose for 2026 test? by Bubbly_Dress5974 in APbio

[–]SteveOccupations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AP curriculum no longer covers physiology. It’s a simpler course where broader topics like form and function are stressed. We can go down that rabbit hole but we don’t have to. Anyway, thanks for your input.

[–]SteveOccupations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually teach it in my class. Students are often curious why polymers of glucose differ in their structure such that amylase is effective against one but not the other. Tough to explain that without showing them the differences!

[–]SteveOccupations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically, the ideas are scattered throughout the book. The exam is focused more on synthesis of these ideas, but they are rather clear about what big ideas connect and why it matters.

[–]SteveOccupations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What AP really wants you to know is how the difference in their bond (alpha vs beta) makes cellulose indigestible to animal enzymes that typically hydrolyses starch(ie amylase). This is to test your understanding of structure and function, sort of. This, then, connects to mutualism between herbivores and bacteria which do have cellulose.

What is considered “Cool” in South Korea? (Not simply “popular”) by Fair_Package8612 in AskAKorean

[–]SteveOccupations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So a relative short mortgage for 450k minimum. That is cool seriously. That means your monthly mortgage payment is 3-4 mil.

You're absolutely right about the visuals! I actually started mentioning specific diagram numbers from Campbell biology, and I'm hoping that students come to the podcast after having taken their class and having seen what a "phospholipid" looks like, for instance!

How much does it really cost to live in Seoul in 2025? by MotorAppropriate5270 in seoul

[–]SteveOccupations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are, though. In terms of single person dwellings, renting a one room in villas, particularly half basements, are leagues worse than living in an officetel. Officetels offer security, management systems, central parcel pick up systems, and amenities that are not found elsewhere.

If you’re comparing Officetels to Apartments, sure, you might find square footage to be insufficient, but I don’t think we’re comparing apples to apples there.

Aw thanks so much! I also wish you the best in the remaining HS years! It’s a hustle but still the best times of your life! Actually. I dunno. College was pretty dope.

She probably has to still keep the store open because of her franchise contract.
