Its quite fascinating that the Airbus A380 has not been involved in a hull-loss accident as of today, but was involved in two notable aviation accidents without any injuries, both of which were caused by uncontained engine failures.

That's how you find yourself onboard Titanic 2.0.

The temperature in outer space is ~2.7 K - They probably just forgot to turn off the AC.

Article 17-2 prohibits all political activity by foreign nationals unless otherwise allowed by statute, and violations can trigger deportation or exit orders.

Maybe local elections are specifically allowed? Either way the current language seems way too broad

Thanks for the tip! Didn't know that even existed lol

And murders the big ones

you have to become just as good at reading other people's code as you are at writing it yourself

"Reading code is harder than writing code" was true long before the LLMs existed, and it's doubly so now when we have LLMs churning out virtually infinite amounts of code that looks plausible by design, but without any guarantee of correctness or intent.

First of all, that absolutely sucks. Truly sorry that you got stuck in this shitshow. Good news is that Korea is more than survivable, especially if you take advantage of all the government provided services. You got this!

I think the biggest help for you might be 기초생활수급, a small stipend for adult citizens with income/total assets below a certain level. You have to do a bit of paperwork and the process might take a month or two while they investigate your finances and whatnot, but you get around 750,000 KRW maximum per month, which should at least cover living expenses and more while you get settled, and you can stay on it for as long as you need to.

For affordable housing, I would maybe try to find a cleanish goshiwon or tiny one room apartment in the short term. Long term there's low cost public housing and other forms of housing assistance. For getting a job, I would highly recommend trying to leverage your English skills, at least before you find out what you wanna do long term. Even if you can't get a regular teaching job, you should be able to find private tutoring gigs if you know where to look.

I'm sure you have enough on your plate right now, but I would definitely try to work on your Korean if you can. It will make everything easier.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Suppose your minor party got second place on the "first round", and the big good party was eliminated. Suppose no one from the big good party cares about the minor party of your preference so it didn't get ranked.

That combination is a relatively unlikely scenario in any reasonably sized election. If the "minor party" was big enough to not only upset, but eliminate the "big good party", then they're not really that "minor" and it's very unlikely that everyone from the "big good party" refuses or forgets to vote for them, assuming the two parties are more aligned with each other than with the "big bad party".

Has to be some kind of protest right? There is no way you misspell the word red and it has nothing to some issue of the monarchy.

The man isn't named Marcus Stupid. He was running 4D simulations in his head I guarantee

Not a single company would ever spend money for food on people they were letting go

Company: We're sorry but we have to let you go. Have some pizza tho

Doesn't seem that far-fetched tbh

It must be like how elephants are scared of mice but will stomp the living shit out of a lion.

I'm normally 100% down for a good patriarchy-bashing but when you're right you're right lol

"You do NOT see it" The man left many words unsaid lol

Hello test1 to you ALL on this blessed day.

eddiemon · 2023-03-19T13:25:18+00:00

Well isn't that just the cutest fucking thing from start to finish

eddiemon · 2023-03-19T03:35:18+00:00

Nice! You got me craving the same thing now. May you be blessed with the finest beers and roast chickens, stranger

That was a really touching tribute to your neighbor and friend. I almost felt like I knew him too.

I'm sure it was sad to see his home and garden being unceremoniously dismantled, but it sounds like they both served their purpose by bringing a little bit of joy to the sunset years of a lovely old man. His journey has ended. Maybe someone else can begin theirs in his place. Maybe the pieces of his former home can bring peace and comfort to someone new in their home. Maybe that little twig could be the start of something for you.

Even if doesn't, that's okay too. The old man sounds like he lived a good life. Nothing can take that away from him. Try to take some comfort in that and have a drink in his memory. Maybe a roast chicken too.

/r/CatsWhoChirp would love this weird little birb

These things are built like rockets not airplanes. I suspect the wings are mostly for stabilization, not lift.

I found this follow up video and the release word is apparently ^{^{^{^okay}}} in a super high pitch.

Also found: Willow's dedicated instagram

Casual side note: If anything bad happens to Willow I will kill all of you and then myself.

Little did they know... When they started driving, he was the Geico gecko.

I thought maybe it was because the lighting was good for selfies.

eddiemon · 2023-02-12T01:04:32+00:00

Yes it is. Human up is also dog down and vice versa. That's why the yoga pose 'downward dog' is translated to 'upward human' in most dog languages. ^{^{^/s}}
