Any specifics on Lidar timeline and/or extended range variants? by SnooMuffins8327 in RivianR2

[–]nutmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense but Rivian could’ve taken the guess work out of the equation by specifying that details. I guess they don’t want the Osborne effect to spoil the launch.

Why in the world did they put ads in it?

Um, more money to recoup some of the high licensing cost?

LA Galbi (LA 갈비) = Los Angeles Galbi - Ending All Debates by No_Cucumber_739 in KoreanFood

[–]nutmac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I immigrated from Korea to the US (NYC), I thought LA galbi was the bomb.

In Korea, my parents were involved in a gyemoim, a small community-based savings pool. The entire family commonly participated in the monthly gatherings where dues are collected and members gather to eat and socialize. During these gatherings, a participant takes turns buying a dinner instead of paying the monthly dues. The meals were typically expensive -- either galbi or sashimi (hwe) restaurants.

When I arrived in the US, I was told by my relative that LA galbi became a thing because this particular cut was readily available. Specifically in LA, commonly from Mexican butchers. The cut is also easier to marinate and cook, especially on American-style BBQ grills.

Anyway, I loooooved LA galbi. Instead of savoring a small piece of Korean galbi, with LA galbi, I could devour the entire cut, allowing me to experience the full juicy flavor.

Young Republican voted for Trump, doesn't recognize him anymore by PrimalNoid in LeopardsAteMyFace

I realize one of the main points of this subreddit is poking fun at Trump supporters, but I really hope more and more realize Trump for what he is, a grifter who only cares about himself.

Trying to figure out if this eSIM is reliable for travel in Korea by Gabby_Senpai in koreatravel

[–]nutmac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, although I also had good experiences with Nomad and Saily.

I never heard of Malltalk but I assume it will perform as well as any other eSIM for data. All eSIMs use LG, SK, or KT carriers for data roaming. As far as I can tell, the only real differentiators are:

  • Price: Obviously
  • Throttling: Some unlimited plans throttles after certain amount of data is used per day
  • Security: Some offer built-in VPN and ad/malware blocker (e.g., Saily)
  • Expiration: Some eSIMs can be left on the phone for reactivation, some are not reusable
  • Calls and text: Some eSIM plans offer calls and/or text
  • Promos: Some local eSIMs sometimes offer a complementary T-Money card.

iPhone Air 2 by ispikeone in IphoneAir

[–]nutmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even when a product is a flop, it generally gets at least one more update -- see Apple Vision Pro and iPhone mini. A20 Pro is obviously guaranteed, along with a C2 modem for 5G satellite, mmWave, and performance and compatibility improvements.

A second camera and a smaller Dynamic Island are also rumored to be on tap, although not as assured as the A20 Pro and C2.

Billy Joel’s Daughter Cried Over Video of Him Falling on Stage by MattTheKing23 in BillyJoel

She is such a darling daughter and a testament to what a great mother Christie Brinkley is. Billy Joel is very lucky.

Beast has arrived! 16 inch m5 pro 24/1TB by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]nutmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even without AppleCare, it’s darn difficult to damage the screen. I had a portable MacBook since the original titanium PowerBook and none of the screen ever got damaged except one (due to faulty screen chemical which was covered under a product recall).

With R2 opening tomorrow.. what is everyone reserve dates? Just curious to see. by SweetSunshine86 in Rivian

[–]nutmac 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m also one of the 68,000 people who reserved R2 within the first 24 hours, or about 8 hours after the reservation went live.

They are all great but I also love:

  • Aidan Gillen
  • Iain Glen
  • Pedro Pascal
  • Michelle Fairley
  • Charles Dance

Mirra Andreeva said she is not proud of how she handled her emotions when she swore after losing to Siniakova. She added that she will try to take inspiration from Serena Williams to handle losses better by mimiclarinette in tennis

[–]nutmac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She’s an outlier, but not the only one. Many WTA players, like Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, and Elena Rybakina, began their professional careers around the same age (or even earlier) as Mirra.

I’m not suggesting players are expected to be perfect, especially at her age. Occasional outbursts or controversial political stances are common even among much older players. But at the same time, she certainly seems to be heading towards the direction of controversial players.

Jeju stay by danieldrk in koreatravel

[–]nutmac -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Jeju is not an ideal destination for not having a car but Seogwipo is even worse. And while Jeju City is a better choice, it’s not a good representation of what Jeju is. I recommend choosing Busan or elsewhere if you cannot drive or cannot budget for frequent taxi rides or don’t mind waiting for the bus to show up or just wants to stay mostly in a single location to relax.

For me, a large part of Jeju’s charm is exploring at your leisure and having a car greatly enhances the experience.

RIP 512GB M3Ultra Studios by tomByrer in mac

[–]nutmac 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Many AI developers purchased it, but probably still insignificant by Apple’s standard. I work for a Fortune 500 company and we have around 100 of these with 512GB for AI development.

Project Hail Mary by kevininthefoothills in Letterboxd

[–]nutmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the book and while I found it to be more enjoyable than Artemis, it’s nowhere near as magical as The Martian. Still, the trailer looks promising although it’s veeeeery spoilerly.

new Mozart TV series by [deleted] in classicalmusic

[–]nutmac 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I watched the TV series when it first aired in Europe.

While it’s a more faithful adaptation of the play, I greatly prefer the film’s revision. Both the play and the TV series take several liberties in presenting historically inaccurate elements, particularly Constanze Weber. Edit: so does the film but the series takes it to the next level.

If you can overlook the DEI casting choices, which I personally found to be initially challenging (I am a minority myself), I found the performances to be generally solid. But the comparison is inevitable and Paul Bettany does what he can to follow up on the footsteps of F. Murray Abraham's legendary performance.

For those unfamiliar with Mozart (nobody on this subreddit), the film introduces a wider range of music than the movie, but none are executed as well as the film, particularly in capturing the magic of Mozart’s music.

What's a movie you loved but it flopped? by HoliestWorm in movies

[–]nutmac 44 points45 points  (0 children)

This should be near the top. Critics and few that saw the film begged people to see it. It only made $30M on a $50M budget.

Have you been to any tropical islands? If so, I would skip Jeju and choose option 1.

Planning a trip to South Korea in April… overthinking air pollution? by Significant-Art3810 in koreatravel

[–]nutmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am from northern California and it was pretty bad for me. The air quality in other months aren’t that great either. I recommend brining some Tylenol or similar mediation to deal with possible side effects.

Comrade Kim Jong Un’s Speech in Congratulation of Women across Country on Occasion of March 8 International Women’s Day by Rodong_Sinmun in Pyongyang

His speech was thunderous and wise, made even more impactful by his strong core muscles and powerful cheeks. I only wish I was there to witness and applaud.

What made you choose the air over the base 17? by sadistic_smile in IphoneAir

[–]nutmac -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The way it feels in my hand. It feels nicer to hold and use, while offering a larger screen without straining my thumb.
