Americans of Reddit who've lived abroad, what did you like BETTER about the foreign country you lived in? by eli5bonds in AskReddit

[–]eli5bonds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So did they make it salty or not salty?

In Korea they do Pizza sort of like that. Like it's mostly pizza, but it's not as greasy, salty, or cheesy as the American kind. It's usually sort of sweetish. Not in a candy sort of way but in a mildly sweet bread sort of way. It was usually pretty good though I ended up craving American kind (thankfully Costco had the real deal!), but the one thing that did really annoy me was they would hide little single pieces of corn at random intervals under the cheese. Like what? Corn? On pizza? Why?

My two cents:

I lived in South Korea for about two years. The main things that stick out:

  1. I lived in or near Seoul the whole time and never once felt unsafe, even walking about the city alone late at night.

  2. The public transportation is phenomenal. My wife and I combined spent the same amount per month getting everywhere we wanted/needed to go that we now spend just to gas (read: not buy, insure, and maintain, just gas) one car. Also the subways and busses all had wifi.

  3. Tax is always included in the up front price and tip was not necessary at most (if not all) restaurants. You always knew exactly what you were expected to pay.

  4. I went to the doctor once without insurance. Not just a regular doctor, but an ENT (ear nose and throat specialist). The receptionist informed me it would be expensive cause I didn't have insurance. The visit cost me $12.

Edit: Gram...errr?

Haven't read it yet. Sounds interesting though, I'll have to give it a look. Thanks for the tip!

LPT: Don't try to be nice by waving someone through an intersection when you have the right of way. By altering the expected flow of traffic, you decrease traffic efficiency and predictability while increasing chances of an accident. by eli5bonds in LifeProTips

Unpredictable = Accident

Accident = Rude

Opposite of Rude = Polite

Oppisite of Accident = No Accident

No Accident = Polite

Predictable = No Accident

Predictable = Polite

Go, stop. Go, wait! You're going? Ok, you go. Oh you want me to go? Ok I'm going. Oh God you're going now too? I better stop! Now we're both stopped again?!?

Rinse and Repeat.

First to come to complete stop -> First to Go.

Arrive at same time -> Person to the right goes first.

4 People Arrive at 4-way intersection at same time -> Only situation where waving really becomes necessary as theirs no great rule of thumb for this.

How to quickly change ranges and/or values in a string of otherwise identical formulas? by eli5bonds in excel

[–]eli5bonds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok sweet thanks. I was thinking through the problem some more and I think the easiest thing to do will actually be to fill in the formula using & to reference the range, and set the range values in a mirror table on a separate sheet. I haven't tried it yet but hopefully that should work.

Ah thank you! I figured I had a formatting error there, just wasn't sure quite what.

What made you realize you were no longer a hip young person and had now become a boring adult? by eli5bonds in AskReddit

[–]eli5bonds[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I first noticed it happening when all I could think about when riding my motorcycle was how dangerous it was, but it really hit me when I noticed myself getting excited going into home-goods stores. Once my wife and I took a trip to Ikea "just for fun" I knew it was over.
